This project is a mix of Player and native-code. There isn't yet good public documentation on its mechanics, even though the project raises a number of intriguing questions. I'm hoping we see more details soon. From what I've been able to gather in informal hallway conversations, I don't see much that would be transferrable to other projects yet -- my first reaction was "Wow, are they really reading PDF/A into SWF?", but that's apparently not the case either. Their remote retrieval might not even be using the Player; we can't tell yet. It looks to me now more like a one-off project than something we can reuse in various ways, but it would be better to wait for authoritative information to appear than to rely on the impressions I've been able to gather. jd -- John Dowdell .
