How does Folio work?
Folio makes use of Macromedia Flash Paper technology. This enables the client to print documents to Folio from any source file or pdf document. Folio is not your typical page turner and does not use the open source page flip code available online. Most other page turners either rely on custom making each swf file for each page or creating jpegs for each page. Folio is a mature product and is unique in that it works from converted pdf, word document and any other publication format that can be printed to flash paper. One of the added benefits is that all text in the document is searchable so there is no need for time consuming meta data files.
