Troy,
Unfortunately there is no cross-platform and reliable way to view PDFs in Rev... of course, the only thing I know of that matches that criteria is a web browser plugin, but here are some tidbits:
1) On MacOS X, Quicktime player objects can display PDF (go Mac)
2) You can launch a URL and rely on the PDF plugin in the browser- try a regular "file://" style URL.
3) You can open a file with an application, although the user may have to locate Acrobat Reader (and have it installed)
4) An external _could_ be written to actually use the browser plugin in a roundabout way, but it wouldn't be easy
5) Use altBrowser on windows as a browser object and load the PDF using a browser plugin this plus #2 might do the trick, albeit much different methods per platform.
HTH
Hey folks,
One of the big missing items in Rev (of the very few) for me is the ability to display and work with Acrobat PDF files. Has anyone done anything with PDFs? Either by remotely controlling Acrobat viewer, or via an external of some kind... or even considered the possibility? Just looking to open some discussion in order to gauge interest, or to see if any techniques have been developed.
