Could this be the beginning of the end for PDF's? Probably not, but Macromedia's new FlashPaper2 is certainly looking to muscle in on PDF's stronghold.
FlashPaper2 - Convert files into web-ready Flash documents or PDFs
FlashPaper 2 allows anyone to convert printable files into Macromedia Flash documents or PDF files with one click.
With a pricetag of about $70 this is looking pretty sweet. I'd like to see a comparison between a large document converted into PDF vs. SWF in both size and download time. My guess is that the flash would easily win on the latter ... and perhaps even on the size as well.
Yeah, but "Flash Paper" sounds like something i would use in the bathroom after consuming too much Muselix.
