The basic answer, anointed by Adobe, no.. 

 

There is no COM bridge in Air, and I don't expect there to be one
either.

Although that's a java bridge

Subject: [flexcoders] Can AIR call local DLLs?

 

I have a couple older Flash 8 apps that are wrapped inside Zinc, and
that call a custom DLL I did that takes some XML output from the Flash
and blends it with an XML report template to spit out a PDF. I have
some new applications to do, converting Flex web apps to AIR. But I
need to print PDF reports for them as well. For AIR, is there any way
that I can use the same custom print DLLs I have already written?

I don't want to write these reports in Flex, they are really long and
complex, and it would be a bad idea to have two versions to maintain
along with the web-based versions.

I just upgraded to Flex 3, but haven't seen this exact issue dealt
with - printing to a PDF using some sort of external report template,
rather than writing it out inside Flex.

Thanks!
