Possible to view PDF files within Flash?

[Dralamir]

I was introduced to a project where, in theory, Flash should have the ability to browse through PDF-files from a certain directory and possibly view them within the movie. Trying to search for it so far has not yielded any results, so I turn to you guys for help. Ideas, pointers, hints for a new direction to look answers from.. anything would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy and Welcome... :)

I think Flash 8 can load the PDF file if run as a Projector(EXE file), but you cannot do that if it is a web project...

Where did you get that 'theory'???

Thanks for your reply - and the welcome.

Well, this project is a project where I was assigned the job to create an executable file for a CD-ROM/DVD. The Flash part is for the interface and the content is within PDF-files, which should be viewed, hopefully, by the PDF-viewer style (zoom and everything). But if this is not possible, I should access the content as text and then import it.. but it would the by far the simplest way to use the original PDF-files since there are maybe 100 PDF files involved.......

So, how exactly can I view the PDF files and what is the reason why exec's can show the PDF-files?

hi,
with the help of FlashPaper software convert your pdf files into swfs and load them into your swf.

that's it
