I hope they don't find out that the PDF is also stored in memory while it's converting! Next they'll ask you to convert the file without it ever actually going into RAM! Haha, that's about where I'm at with this project! Seriously though, if it were me, I'd tell them it has to be in a temp

I have a need to consume PDFs with the flash player - no problem in the past - just use PDF2SWF to convert to multiframe SWF and loadMovie. The problem I'm having now is that the specs I've been given require that no PDF files be stored on the server, so the PDF can't physically exist, even in a

If you're already using PHP on the server side, I can't see why you wouldn't use AMF - it's binary, where xml is not, and is far more verbose to send across the pipe. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shaw, Matt (MTVN) Sent: Thursday, April
