Hello all,
I'm looking for a way to display PDFs on my company's website (a major news site) in a way that doesn't interrupt the user experience by opening new windows or making the user wait while a large PDF file downloads.
Ideally, we'd use something like Adobe FlashPaper to quickly convert PDFs to Flash objects that can be embedded in the pages. Unfortunately, Adobe discontinued FlashPaper some time ago and I can't find its successor.
Is there any Adobe software that will automatically build a Flash-based display object for a PDF? I'm aware of Acrobat.com's service, but it's important that we're hosting these files ourselves; Acrobat.com hosts the files that it displays, much like Scribd.
For complicated business reasons, my company would like to use genuine Adobe software, rather than third-party applications to accomplish this.
It's no problem if the solution ultimately involves sophisticated techniques like JavaScript. We'd like to have our programmers implement the solution on an internal server that members of the newsroom use to upload PDFs quickly and reliably into their stories--for instance, when they write about a trial and want to include some sort of massive court document with their article.
Any help would be enormously appreciated.

It was bundled with Studio 8, so worth checking if anyone in your company still has that laying about on CD.
