How to Publish the Document on the Web?

You have several options here. In any case, after publication you get a link to your document. You may pass this link to the people you want to see your document, send it in e-mails, publish it on your web site, post to forums, etc. And everyone can view your document in Print2Flash format without having to install special commercial software to see it!

You don't have your own web site

If you don't have your own web site but wish to publish your document on a forum or a discussion group, you may simply upload generated .swf file to the forum (assuming it is allowed by their policy). Then the forum should produce a web link to this file which you should see on forum pages. Then anyone is only one click away from this link to your document!

You have your own web site

If you have your own web site, you have a number of options detailed below.

Publishing as a standalone Flash document

If you want to publish your document as a standalone Flash document, simply upload generated .swf file to your web site and then anyone can access the document by a link to your web site. For example, if you uploaded a document named MyDoc.swf to the root folder of your web site named mysite.com, you can access your document via this link http://mysite.com/MyDoc.swf 

Publishing as a standalone web page

If you want to publish your document as standalone web page, this is easy to do as well. First, save the generated document as HTML with Save as HTML menu option. This will create an HTML file and a related folder. Upload the file and the folder to your web site and the document becomes accessible by a link to the HTML file. For example, if you uploaded an HTML file named MyDoc.htm to the root folder of your web site named mysite.com, you can access your document via this link http://mysite.com/MyDoc.htm.

There are many benefits in publishing as a web page. First, you may insert another content inside the web page: text, links, graphics and so on. You may do this by editing the web page with, for example, Microsoft FrontPage. Next, you may control how the document appears inside the web page. You may specify document HTML publishing parameters: width, height and alignment in HTML Options window. And finally you may even publish multiple documents in a single web page (see Publishing multiple documents in a single web page).

Publishing inside an existing web page

If you already have a web page inside which you want to insert a Print2Flash document, no problem! You have to accomplish several steps:

1. Perform Save as HTML command to obtain an HTML file and a related folder
2. Open the generated HTML file in a text editor and copy the text between the following lines to clipboard:

<!-- Start of document code -->

...

<!-- End of document code -->
 

3. Open the web page you want to insert the document to in a text editor and paste the copied text at the place in the page where you want to see the document
4. Copy the folder you obtained at step 1 to the same folder where the web page is located

Then you may use the link to this web page to access the page and your document together as in the previous case.

Publishing multiple documents in a single web page

If you want to embed multiple Print2Flash documents in a single web page, first publish the first document as a standalone web page or inside an existing web page. Then you need to perform the following steps for each additional document you want to place in the same page:

1. Perform Save as HTML command to obtain an HTML file and a related folder
2. Open the generated HTML in a text editor and copy the text between the following lines to clipboard:

<!-- Start of document placement code -->

...

<!-- End of document placement code -->
 

3. Open the web page you want to insert the document to in a text editor and paste the copied text at the place in the page where you want to see the document
4. Copy the folder you obtained at step 1 to the same folder where the web page is located
