Re: [Flashcoders] RE: PDFs, HTML5 and iPads

2010-05-11 Thread Eric E. Dolecki
I have seen developers push a PDF document into a UIWebView (super easy and
it does work), but a better way of getting PDFs to display on an
iPhone/Touch/iPad is pretty simple too in your own application (if you're up
to it).

I thought I read something long ago where the actual display technology for
OS X (and perhaps iPhone)  is PDF - but I cannot find any links to that at
the moment.

Just some random tidbits,
Eric

I hear this new technology, "CSS-P" is going to make using tables for layout 
obsolete. Ha ha.

And Mac's "Preview" app is the default PDF reader.

Hi list...

It seems to me that Flash might not be the tool most "threatened" by HTML5, but 
rather the PDF format.  HTML5 obviously can't replace all of Flash's 
capabilities.  But, it has all of these new tags that enhance the accuracy of 
describing documents.  So, should the Adobe Reader plugin feel more afraid?  

On a side note, is the iPad supporting the Reader plugin?

Just wondering,
- Michael M.
