I am experimenting with some new technology that instantly turns a PDF into a Flash book. This is really valuable when you need to show someone an entire book. The process is easy. You upload a PDF file to Issuu.com, and they send you a link to it. You are given a number of options for linking to or embedding the Flash file, including a mini-browser, which loads quickly. You can even add the file to Facebook. In Issuu's viewer, you can get a complete view of the document, which is large enough to read. A number of large publications are using this solution, including JPG Magazine and Beast Magazine. It's always a good idea to read through the terms before posting your work.
