[Cc-webedit] online doc viewer

[Jim Dog]

Heya

If you want to use a commercial (but free) service that looks really
cool, the best one by far is http://www.issuu.com/

Alternatively, if you want to go the non-commercial route, I have
written some code for hyperactive to view docs online: for example see

http://northern-indymedia.org/zines

click on a zine then on the large image to view online

this uses flexpaper and is built with rails so you could easily
integrate it into the site. I'm working on a way for documents to view
without having to wait for the whole thing to download at the mo.

Another good, easy to deploy and cool looking option is at:

http://www.codebox.es/pdf-to-flash-page-flip

Scribd is crap and horribly corporate! avoid it like the plague!
