Okay, thanks! I guess I can understand that, since it would make AIR platform-dependent in a way (even though that could be optional).
So, is it possible to create a PDF from an AIR app? Just create one from scratch and spit it out so that it opens in Acrobat Reader? Or if not, can I have a generic template of a PDF file, open it and modify it in AIR (using JavaScript or not), and then save it as a new PDF, then Exec the OS to open that file?
