Flashpaper

Saturday, September 6, 2008

Adobe have despatched Flashpaper to the same grave of irrelevant products as FreeHand and ImageReady.  Considering Flashpaper was made by Macromedia before their assimilation, it was kind of on the cards due to it’s competition with PDF.

From the article the CEO a doomed startup whines:

What about all the websites that have been storing all their documents with Flashpaper? It will be a major job having to transfer all those documents to a new solution

Perhaps if instead of willingly submitting to vendor lock in they stored their documents in a recognised, open standard that’s widely implemented by multiple vendors they would not have this problem.
