“Previously mentioned document sharing application Scribd
has updated its embeddable document reader to iPaper, a fast, efficient
tool for embedding any document, from PDFs to PowerPoint to Word
documents. We’re seeing more and more web-based PDF viewers, like the recently posted PdfMeNot,
which is a great thing for anyone who’s sick of wrangling with offline
PDF viewers when all they want is a quick look at a document. iPaper
offers a much more functional experience than PdfMeNot, so hit the jump
for a look.
The main features of iPaper that stand out over PdfMeNot are the
ability to zoom pages, view thumbnail previews, and actually scroll the
content with your mouse’s scrollwheel (which doesn’t work for me in
PdfMeNot). iPaper even does search, and it provides simple links on
their site page to download and save the original version on your
desktop as either a PDF, plain text document, or even synthesized MP3
recording of the document.
The biggest downside right now is that the embedded Flash app isn’t
entirely friendly to its surroundings, which is why I placed the
embedded file below this text instead of directly after the jump (the
embedded document was covering my text).”
