designing, developing, testing, and publishing the website. When that
work is done, you can use Macromedia Contribute to manage your site,
and to set up users to maintain content on the site.

What you can do with FlashPaper
Macromedia FlashPaper lets you easily convert any printable document to
a Flash document (SWF file or PDF file). Flash documents are typically
much smaller than other document types, and you can view them in any
browser that supports Flash, or directly in Flash Player.

much smaller than other document types, and you can view them in any
browser that supports Flash, or directly in Flash Player.
You can view Flash documents across platforms, and retain the formatting,
graphics, fonts, special characters, and colors of source documents,
regardless of the application and platform used to create the document. For
example, if you created a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet on a Windows XP
computer, you can use FlashPaper to convert it to a Flash document, and
then send it to a Macintosh user.

Because you can embed a Flash document in a web page, you can publish
file types that most people can’t easily view on the web today, such as
Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visio, and even QuarkXPress and AutoCAD.
When a user opens your web page, the Flash document opens instantly, so
the user can view the file without leaving the web page.
