What I want to do is to import a PDF image into a stack as a
customprop. I anticipate using this for sensitive documents that will
need to be contained within a password-protected stack, and I don't
want the files themselves left on the user's disk drive. It looks as
if I'll have to store the PDF binary file as a customprop then delete
the file, and then when the user wants to access the stored file spit
the PDF out to disk on demand for viewing and printing using Preview,
then delete the file from disk when done. Is there any other way? Can
I print an image from a player control? Or even better, is there a Rev
external that will convert PDF files to an importable image?

this, a library maybe. Or perhaps I'm moving towards the drooling

It's not age, just experience. :)
You're absolutely right, there is one way to display PDFs in Rev and
it's very limited: on OS X only you can display PDFs inside of a
player control. This does not work on Windows or Linux, and as you
can imagine has a limited UI (you can't select text, for example,
and the page is rendered scaled within the player without scrollbars
of its own, so you'll need to put it in a group of you bother with
it at all).
