- jawngee 19y agoThey're using flashpaper on the backend I believe. Or possibly print2flash, which is what we use for uploaded screenplays at massify.com.
- snowmaker 19y agoAs a matter of fact, we're not. We built iPaper starting from scratch because there wasn't anything good enough to build it on top of. Both FlashPaper and Print2Flash are Windows print drivers designed as consumer applications. They were never intended for something like Scribd that processes millions of documents. The iPaper back-end is built for web-scale use.
- jawngee 19y agoI'm not trolling, just genuinely curious: How do you support word/excel/powerpoint 100% if you're not printing from the app themselves? Also, for the developer API, do you add advertising to the documents you convert? Are you approachable about private licensing?
