Yup, read the "Limitations" part...

FlashPaper documents can only be viewed in a web page, so you can’t email FlashPaper documents directly to others.
The text in FlashPaper documents cannot be searched or selected by website visitors.
FlashPaper does not support digital signatures, annotations and a host of other features of enterprise document sharing technologies like PDF.
FlashPaper is only available on Windows 2000 and XP, although Macromedia does have plans to support Mac OS X in the next release of Contribute.

It'll be a while before you see acrobat gone... it's just starting to get the recognition it deserves.

But this Flash Paper is amazing!! What a tool.

Doesn't sound like it.

Also, it appears that this is only available using Contribute. Contribute is pretty sweet stuff though. We use it here for some sites.
