I'm quite sure that on my PowerPC Mac a high resolution PDF in a LiveCode Player object was displayed not like a bitmap but just like it was in Preview or Acrobat. I assume that LiveCode is tapping into QuickTime to render PDFs, so why is the PDF file's resolution degraded? Is there any prospect that this will be corrected in future releases? I have not tried revBrowser to display PDFs, so am not sure how its resolution works; but as I understand it revBrowser does not let us view pages other than the first of a multi-page PDF. Regards, David Epstein This probably doesn¹t help you, but in years gone by, my experience when using a player to view a PDF resulted in the content being displayed as a bitmap image, regardless of the type of content. So enlarging beyond 100% would often appear pixelated. I never encountered a player-viewed PDF displayed as anything BUT a bitmap. But this was all QuickTime stuff, so things may have changed more recently.
