Macromedia FlashPaper (originally known as Flash Printer) is a software application developed by Blue Pacific Software before its acquisition by Macromedia. Adobe, which later acquired Macromedia, now distributes the software. Its functional design mimics Adobe Acrobat Distiller: it behaves as a virtual printer. Documents printed to Macromedia FlashPaper become Flash or Adobe PDF files.
Macromedia FlashPaper was packaged with Macromedia Contribute, Macromedia ColdFusion, and Macromedia Studio, and is still currently available as a standalone product. Macromedia Studio was replaced by Adobe Creative Suite, and as of 2008, Adobe has finally announced it would no longer develop FlashPaper.
A free alternative which prints SWF (flash files) from within Windows Vista is ByteScout SWF PRO. The company that originally developed FlashPaper does sell variants of a Vista supporting SWF printer: Blue Pacific Print2Flash in so-called Basic, Pro and Server Modes, all as either 32 or 64 bit editions.
