Except you can only use it on Windows. I just went to download the "free version" (which is now a 30 day- trial). They want all your info and for you to be subscribed to Adobe to get it. Heck, they don't even let you download it. They have to send a link to your email first. Waste of time?? You decide. I will stick to flexpaper. Or roll my own.

Well, normally when you serve a PDF, the browser hands it off to a "helper" application, and usually that's Adobe Reader. Reader is then opened within the browser. This behavior is becoming a bit less common, as Chrome can render PDFs directly, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I don't know if I can. As I stated earlier, I've seen this with LiveCycle Workspace, which is a Flex app that loads PDFs. You can read all about that application here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/customizeworkspaceui.pdf I suspect it uses HTML to load the PDFs, as I mentioned earlier, but am not entirely sure. You can download Workspace and view the source code by downloading the evaluation or developer version of LiveCycle server - you'll probably have to install it, which is kind of a pain, but you should be able to download it for free.
