I need a flash program similar to this on google:
<[login to view URL]>
I need a flash program/page that will display two pdf pages like google does in the above link. This flash program loads only the desired page from a pdf file and transfers it. For example, if you have a 20 Meg PDF file consisting of 200 pages, then the user might access [login to view URL]
to view page 12 of the document, and only that page is downloaded, not all 20 megs.
Flash program should have option to jump to a specific page, go forward/back one page, zoom in/out, and user can mouse scroll wheel up and down to read additional pages. Information should show number of pages(this can be entered in a config file by the user and does not have to be extracted from the pdf) I would prefer if the User can view the end of one page and the beginning of the next just like the google site works now, so they do not have to read the last word on one page, then jump suddenly to the top of the next, they can see both, but if this is not practical then it is OK to jump to the next page without showing 2 pages at once.
In short, I need a stand alone flash clone of the google page.
I do not need a massive content management system. Just a stand alone flash that I can embed in a page is good enough and I can setup each page by hand with a config file.
I am not sure what would be the best way to implement the program.
I was thinking of a stand alone flash program for the web and a config file that tells it what pdf to load from and maybe a php page that tells it which page to load?
The final program must be able to show readable text, be easily scrollable, and load up to 2 pages without having to download the entire pdf to the end user.
Please let me know what flash/php experience you can offer to the project and how you would implement pdf viewing using flash.
## Deliverables
I am aware that there are free services that allow you to post your pdf files to pages like this and there is a FlashPaper program by macromedia but that is not what I need.
I hesitate to use flashpaper because it is no longer being updated and I do not want to link to someone elses site so the free or pay hosted sites are no good to me. I want an option that I can use in my own website.
Here is one of those sites as an example
