Yes, we have Flash Paper, using Distiller to create PDF’s, and there is even some open-source ActionScript out there to dynamically create PDFs (albeit very basic PDFs for the free version) …

But, with the future of Flash Paper eventually in the hands of a Adobe … generation of PDF’s from within Flash is an interesting matter … however for right now … I did get this recent email about an interesting product … send an email if you’d like to beta test.

Flash Handout BETA is finally here (well, it WILL be here shortly).

And now you can try out the first tool to convert Flash FLAs and SWFs to PDFs! Here?s what you can expect:

+ Extract FLAs & SWFs into PDFs with ease ?- no need to take screenshots or export images from Flash into a page
+ Print individual Flash frames or a frame-by-frame animation quickly & easily
+ Print preview your FLA & SWF files
+ Print slideshow-type handouts of your Flash file in PDF form
+ Create a presentation with slides from your Flash file

How does that sound?
