The module takes advantage of EMFIELD functionality and hooks. I asked the maintainer of EMFIELD, aaron, if he wanted the module as a new provider, but he refused due to a lot of providers are inside the scope of emfield and he can't handle more. He suggest me to provide it as an extra module. Using the capacity the emfield, this module integrates well with views and with whatever other resources emfield are used for.
EMSCRIBD has a lot of formatters for the scribd documents: thumbnails, thumbnails linked to the original documents, tags, embed code (so to display the document inside drupal).
A nice use of EMSCRIBD module is found at www.hillandknowlton.com. In streams, resources, a slideshows and documents are scribd documents presented using panels, and views, in a very beatiful way. Click in any of the documents (the formatter used was thumbnails with links), redirects to the corresponding embeded document inside the drupal site.
