Hi Klaus, Haven't used revBrowser before but I got the example from runrev's web site at http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4071/l/15963-how-do-i-display-a-pdf-in-rev
However, nothing displays in the browser image no matter what pdf file I select. Also tried it with a straightforward http:// url and nothing displayed. Any tips on how to get this to work?
