if acrobat reader is installed on the system you can display the pdf in a web object

if acrobat reader is installed on the system you can display the pdf in a web object

or Foxit http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ which is way faster than Adobe Reader.

i dident know foxit worked with the web object, i only ever tested with acrobat, i'll install it right now then

Yep as long as it is your default PDF viewer, it will display in the web object.

cool, i might start useing pdf format for help files now then (as i hear a rumor that MS will soon drop support for .hlp and .chm files) , the loading time of acrobat vers .chm file put me off, just tested foxit and im happy enough with that

You can also open a PDF file using SumatraPDF and a button with On Click script like:

File.Run("AutoPlay\\PDF\\SumatraPDF.exe", "AutoPlay\\DOCS\\your_file.pdf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);

This way, you do not have worry about whether the end user has a PDF reader installed, it runs from the CD.

If you have a copy of Adobe FlashPaper you can convert PDFs into Flash .swf files. Then you can insert them directly as a Flash object. Controls to zoom in/out and print are embedded in the .swf file and displayed when you run your project.

FlashPaper is included with some of the Adobe suites, but I think you can also purchase it separately.
