+1 Or, at least provide both options to visitors. As a Safari user I don't even need a plugin to have a great PDF viewing experience (even surpasses that of the Adobe Reader plugin IMHO). Being forced to view PDF inside Flash would just serve to irritate me to the point of never using a site again. Or at least not without a lot of grumbling and cursing of the site developer. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
