Full Spectrum is distributed as an Adobe PDF file by default, so I don't really understand the question...

I think lolz wants us to deliver FS in an online format, or some way to view FS without downloading the PDF to their computer, as someone might find it later, etc.

I think something like Scribd would work well. It is discribed as a YouTube for documents.

A similar technology (FlashPaper by Macromedia/Adobe) was tested for FS release 1 without much success.

An average copy of FS release 3 is over 16 MB; it would take several minutes for it to load. Plus, if Adobe's browser plug-in is installed (which is the case for nearly all computers which can open FS) the same effect is achieved (with the same delay)

The benefits are very few, if any, and implementation, while easy, requires some time. Therefore we're unlikely to implement iPaper.

However, it is in our plans to produce a (reduced graphics) version of FS in HTML format which will be able to be viewed by any modern browser without the need of plug-ins nor downloads.

Do you have a USB memory stick? If so perhaps you can download it to there rather than to to the hard disk?
