RScribd is a Ruby gem that lets you stream documents (typically PDF''s, but also Word docs, presentations, RTF files, and more) on your website. It leverages Scribd''s API and iPaper viewer to present a document viewing and hosting experience independent of Adobe Reader. Scribd will host your documents in their original format, free of charge, and make them available for download. Your documents will also be converted into a platform-independent Flash version that can be viewed directly in the user''s browser using the iPaper viewer: http://www.scribd.com/ipaper The Ruby gem allows you to upload, categorize, tag, organize, and search documents. You can associate these documents with users on your website -- so, for instance, if you run a job-hunting website, you can use RScribd to allow your users to post their resumes, which will be hosted by Scribd and streamed to your website. I''ve written the gem to be as Ruby-like as possible. With only a few lines of code you can add document-sharing features to your site easily. Check out the RDocs at http://rscribd.rubyforge.org for usage examples. Sign up for an API account at http://www.scribd.com/platform (yeah, signing up sucks, but this is a hosted service, so bear with me! At least it''s free :) ). Let me know your thoughts, too!

Tim, Great idea. Does rscibd also open text search inside the documents? Can end users on the client site tag documents?

Yes, it does fulltext searching; no, only authors can tag their documents. Tim Morgan Scribd, Inc. michael.l wrote:> Tim, > > Great idea.
