I really really really hate Scribd - see here and here and here and here and here for backstory. It's just so remarkably, intentionally bad for a service that's barely more than iframes on top of S3.

So... implement our own iframes on top of S3.

  • Move existing scribd documents to S3
  • Implement PDF iframe widget
  • Update old Scribdb embed codes with new widget code
  • Implement thumbnail generation
  • Develop a print archive page
  • Implement PDF upload in the CMS with drag-n-drop

Tagged systems/architecture because thumbnailing the PDFs may prove difficult. Don't really know what'll be involved in that.
