Very, very impressive work. Very cool. >From the notes, it appears that there are big problems to make it work on non-Gecko browsers (and even older Geckos). And even when it works, it's kinda sensitive to the precise version of Gecko and the OS it's running on. So for the time being it's not that useful for website designers. But... it could be an interesting option for Gecko-based browser users. Perhaps as an extension? Instead of using Adobe Reader, or Foxit, or PDF X-Viewer or whatever, which all rely on the plugin interface, this could use the extension API, which I understand (I'm not much of a programmer) offers more features. At least, it seems to open a PDF inside the browser faster than Adobe, which is not bad. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
