Creating a FlashPaper document in an external application (Windows only)

You can convert any printable document type to a FlashPaper document. Converting documents to FlashPaper is useful for displaying documents that you cannot typically display in a web page. In some cases, you may find it easier to work in an application other than Contribute when you want to specify the area of a document that you want to save in a FlashPaper document. For information about setting the print area for a Microsoft Excel document, see Selecting a Microsoft Excel print area to convert to FlashPaper.

To convert a document to FlashPaper while working in a different application:

  1. In the application that you are using to convert a document to FlashPaper, select File > Print.
  2. For Printer Name, select FlashPaper Printer.
  3. FlashPaper Printer appears in the list of available printers.

  4. Set the printer options you want to apply to the converted document. For example, in some applications you can print a range of pages or the selected pages.
  5. Click Properties, if you want to specify the page orientation and page size of the FlashPaper document.
  6. Click OK.
  7. The document is converted to FlashPaper and appears in the FlashPaper viewer.

  8. Select File > Save to save the FlashPaper document in the desired location.
  9. Tip: You can insert the FlashPaper document in a Contribute draft by using the Insert > Flash Movie command.
