Is there a flash based document viewer? I am looking for something similar to iPaper that Scribd.com uses.

+1  A: 

I've used PDF2SWF in the past to do basic document conversion/viewing in Flash: http://www.swftools.org/pdf2swf.html although I don't think they are as full featured as the iPaper and Scribd viewers - although it is entirely free to use.

You can download from here: http://www.swftools.org/download.html

It allows you to convert any PDF file into a multi-frame swf. You can optionally embed a viewer into the swf (comes with a simple and advanced viewer) or you could create your own if you want more advanced features.

This is an example document with the viewer: http://www.swftools.org/flash/paper5.html

Take a look at Flashpaper, it installs as a printer on your machine and anything that you can print to paper can be viewed as a flash object and copied to any website.

It is not free, but I use it and think it is very good.

Whilst there are free online services such as what you listed, this is one that you own and can host yurself.

Flash paper has been end of life'd. They aren't supporting it, I wouldn't create a new product with it.

Print2Flash isn't bad. Check it out here:

There are some quirks with loading the assets sometimes but it works pretty well. It requires windows, MS Office, and Adobe Reader to support the popular formats (pdf, word, excel, etc.).

Good luck!
