Good point, thanks for the catch. Gregg Wygonik's BlazePDF is a SWF file
which reads, parses, and then renders PDF content. Like all non-Adobe
PDF readers it doesn't support everything the file format can do, but
from all I've heard it's a good approach if its functionality fits your
job's needs.
(btw, I really like these approaches to render PDF within a SWF file, or
render SVG within a SWF file, or render XAML within a SWF file, and so
on... new web technology like the Safari/Firefox CANVAS tag shouldn't be
held in a little ghetto just because all the browsermakers haven't used
it yet... I think SWF can play a big role here, as a universal renderer
of many types of web content.)
