I think it means Shock Wave Flash (that’s what Flash was called before Macromedia bought it, and later Adobe bought Macromedia. Two key words in your post. First is "think". Second is 'was". You think wrong. SWF stands for Small Web Form. It used to stand for Shock Wave Flash. Used to. As internet technology evolves you must evolve with it. Otherwise you make ill informed statements such as your comment above. "Originally, the term SWF was used as an abbreviation for ShockWave Flash. This usage was changed to the backronym Small Web Format to eliminate confusion with a different technology, Shockwave, from which SWF was derived."]]> Sat, 07 Jul 2012 19:29:28 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165624 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165623 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 18:35:59 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165623 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165622 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:46:41 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165622 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165621 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:22:16 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165621 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165620 @12, promytius: if all you can do is parade your ignorance of the English language in an attack on the developer's own usage, then it's to be hoped you're not employed in any sales or marketing function yourself (quote: bad grammar leads to bad sales unquote.) There'll be many posters here, and many developers too, to whom English is not their first language, so it's a matter of regret that you seek to display a linguistic superiority that's entirely irrelevant. Still; you're not the first to do this and, sadly, you probably won't be the last. At issue here is whether this app does what it says. It doesn't. There's no 'page flipping'. At all. Absent such novelty value, the question arises as to why the developer is even bothering to offer it here, because the caveat -- Strictly personal usage -- rules out the very market to which it is so obviously aimed: commercial users, who wish to allow on-line prospective customers to work through the pages of their website sales catalogue. Given that the app's rendering is unintelligent -- no keyword search, for example -- it's hard to see why a $27 retail sticker is in place anyway: commercial users are going to expect more bang for their bucks than an on-line 'reader' that does no more and no less than can be achieved for nothing at all by allowing a customer to download the pdf file and read it with any freeware they like and keep it on their computer for as long as they like. Thanks then, GAOTD, but no thanks: this giveaway doesn't work for a domestic audience and it's some way below anything a commercial purchaser would expect. Rather than some daft argument over grammer -- and, dear #12 promytius, if you wish to get into that, how come you missed the real error in your quoted sentence? (Oh, heck: I've just given you the clue) -- the only matter worthy of debate is how come today's developer has named an entire company after a flippin' flip book that doesn't flippin' well flip??]]> Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:24:43 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/pageflip-pdf-to-flash/#comment-165620
