conversion, as long as the reader has Flash installed (although Scribd has announced non-Flash
support for the Iphone). 29 All major types of documents can be formatted into iPaper, such
documents in Word, presentations in PowerPoint , PDF files,
documents OpenDocument in OpenOffice.org XML and filesPostScript .

to the larger Scribd community. The iPaper document viewer can also be embedded in any website
or blog, making it easy to integrate with documents in their original format, regardless of the file
format.

requirements are not met or there is no message, the display area is white or gray.
