   Finally the Adobe Flex Team had released that, good to see those for sure I will print those.
   
   Thanks Ted.
   
   Good shot buddy

   Hey Ted,
   I get errors trying to open the pdf files within acrobat reader: "A drwaing error occurred." Anyone else come across this? I've tried downloading them multiple times. I'd love to take a look at these.  

6. #  Josh Tynjala October 17, 2006 12:47 PM

   Oh sweet. I'll be all over these! Too bad my cube isn't quite a cube. I don't think I have room if they're as big as you're hinting.
   
   If anything, I can geek out my office at home.

   Hi Ted,
   
   for those who are will not be attending MAX, will they become available to purchase somewhere? Adobe shop for instance?
   
   Thanks,
   
   Sid

   To Andrew: I have the drawing error aswell, i have reader version 7.0.0
   The Flex PDF takes a while to crash, the AS3 crashes instantly.
   
   Cheers,

   Hello Ted,
   
   both pdf files throw an error when opening. Has anyone been able to open the files in Adobe Reader? I'm using version 6.0.
   
   Can I buy the posters online anywhere?  

10. #  Steve Webster October 17, 2006 1:27 PM

    Hi All. These are perfect for me in Adobe Reader 7.0.8 on Mac OS X, though they don't render at all using Preview.  

11. #  Anonymous October 17, 2006 2:05 PM

    I'd also like to know if I will be able to buy these anywhere if I'm not able to make it to MAX.

    For some reason I'm also unable to view them (in Preview on OS X)...
    
    I'm also interested in knowing whether they'll be available for purchase from Adobe.
    
    
    Thanks for the heads-up, Ted!  

13. #  Ted Patrick October 17, 2006 3:41 PM

    I am working to find an online printer where you can order the posters on-demand in small runs. The problem is the size they are just huge and most printers do not support them.
    
    Adobe doesn't want to make any money on these items on principal. I wish they were free, I want them to be free, and will work hard to find a way to make them free. I appreciate the feedback from the community on this. Posting the PDF source was the best alternative but is not a good final solution.

    Will you bring some of those to Max 2006 Taiwan and sell it there ? thanks.  

15. #  Carlos Rovira October 17, 2006 10:40 PM

    Hi Ted,
    
    I'm interested in a FlashPaper versión. Could we get it from some url?
    
    Thanks!  

16. #  David R October 18, 2006 12:38 AM

    I think the problem is you encoded the PDF files with some kind of security, or password, or encryption. Please try saving them again without these DRM things on it, since you say you want it to be free. You'd think Adobe themselves would be able to produce valid PDF files. I can't wait to be able to get a hold of these, thanks!  

17. #  Anonymous October 18, 2006 12:55 AM

    Error Opening the file:
    The files has security or password.
    
    Can you post them again, unsecured?  

18. #  David R October 18, 2006 1:11 AM

    Ok, I think I figured it out, and here are some 'fixed' versions of the PDFs. I wont guarantee that they will work, or even have the same quality, but a quick inspection looks like everything is fine: (includes both)

19. #  xeal October 18, 2006 1:35 AM

    Looking at the document properties I can see that the PDFs are version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x or better needed).
    That's why they are not viewable in older versions of Adobe Reader or by using the Preview from OS X.  

20. #  Falken October 18, 2006 1:48 AM

    Yeah, the fixed downloads are fine (kpdf on Linux). You should update the main story links.
    
    I'd certainly be interested in some sort of short-run online printing (to the UK), as spending several thousend quid to get to the US and the conference ain't gonna happen :-)  

21. #  Anonymous October 18, 2006 1:51 AM

    I didn't try David R's posters. I've had the same problem (drawing error occured) with reader v7.0.0 . Upgrading to 7.0.8 solved the problem  

22. #  xeal October 18, 2006 1:52 AM

    I am really happy about these PDFs (I was waiting for them since June :)) so I submitted the story to Digg.
    Now you guys digg it and let's help promoting this thing! ;)  

23. #  Tink October 18, 2006 6:21 AM

    These are a great idea.
    
    1. All us peeps who are passionate about the Flash Platform can geek out and drool over big posters.
    
    2. If you can actually read one of these from your workstation, it could save a lot of time referencing the help material.
    
    3. Adobe get to blaze their logo over lots of office space!  

24. #  Mick October 18, 2006 7:17 AM

    Ted, where can I order these internally? I'm not going to MAX :(  

25. #  Anonymous October 18, 2006 8:07 AM

    Hi Ted, I would also love to order these, since i cannot make it to MAX.  

26. #  Hans October 18, 2006 11:43 AM

    From the PDF doc properties, it looks like the ActionScript 3.0 Class Diagram is one 40"x28" poster and the Flex Framework Diagram is two 48"x36" posters. Very nice.
    
    Ted, to clarify is it $20 or $30 for all three posters?
    
    I'd love free posters like anyone else, but $10 is really a pretty sweet deal for a print at this size. Large format printers typically charge $25-75 per print for on demand at this size!  

27. #  Anonymous October 18, 2006 12:05 PM

    Damn....
    
    I need a bigger office :p  

28. #  Z October 18, 2006 1:16 PM

    Hi Ted,
    
    We're a danish flash forum who're trying to print the AS3 poster. What is the best size for the it?
    
    Thanks!  

29. #  Ted Patrick October 18, 2006 2:50 PM

    THE POSTERS WILL BE FREE FREE FREE AT MAX. $0 for 3 gigantic posters.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Ted :)

    I can't make it to the MAX2006, so how can I get a copy of those API posters. I took them to Kinko's and they won't print them for fear of copyright infringment.
    
    Do you have ordering info?  

32. #  Jeremy Rottman October 23, 2006 10:40 PM

    I also have to miss max this year. Is there going to be some place to order these. I would love to have a set for my office. Would fit well with my other posters.  

33. #  JBOY October 26, 2006 2:12 AM

    Thnx David for fixing the download.  

34. #  Anonymous November 16, 2006 6:23 PM

    Is it me, or is everyone asking how to buy these posters and noone is answering? Where can we buy the *(&#! posters?  

35. #  iuliub November 17, 2006 3:16 AM

    Really impressed!  

36. #  gwiz January 18, 2007 12:03 AM

    Well fellas, looks like we gotta print em ourselves.  

37. #  Anonymous February 12, 2007 1:19 PM

    we need t-shirts.  

38. #  Anonymous March 3, 2007 12:29 PM

    Will those posters be updated for Flex 2.0.1 ? Some classes are changed.  

39. #  David R March 20, 2007 12:05 PM

    Here's a picture of them up in my office. I got them from Apollo Camp (yay)

    The actionscript 3 poster is available on zazzle.com. Prints very nice. Text isn't perfectly clear, but it gets the job done and provides a cool visual.  

41. #  Matthias April 4, 2007 6:02 AM

    Nice set of posters - and hopefully shipping in those seconds directly to our agency :)  

42. #  Torben April 4, 2007 6:15 AM

    Yea really enjoying this nice posters - lookin good at my wall =)  

43. #  Cosmin April 5, 2007 4:39 AM

    there's a typo in the first picture (i believe it's a typo....). instead of IPropertyChangeNotifier it's written IProperyChangeNotifier  

44. #  Anonymous April 5, 2007 2:47 PM

    I keep getting a 'bad encrypt dictionary' error when I try to open them  

45. #  Cosmin April 24, 2007 4:13 AM

    just received my posters! thank you ted!  

46. #  Sarge May 29, 2007 11:04 AM

    Some of us could not make it to MAX - is there a plan to sell these? Thanks! sgtpritchard at gmail.com - pixelfumes  

47. #  Anonymous July 22, 2007 10:13 PM

    I had mine printed at a FedEx Kinko's that prints signage. It is costly, for roughly $7 per sq ft, it comes out to be around $215 to have these printed at full size on a high gloss material. However, I have certainly found the price justified, plus they look and function great!  

48. #  Chris Charlton August 10, 2007 11:44 AM

    Seems the PDF's are blank?! Maybe download issue?  

49. #  jalava January 8, 2008 7:23 AM

    These files are password protected, therefore I cannot open them in photoshop which is required if you want to print them with non-postscript printer.
    
    Any help?  

50. #  dnk January 14, 2008 9:36 PM

    will there be an updated version for flex 3?
