Flex/AIR/HTML PDF scriptable viewer


I've written a PowerPoint-like application in Flash, and now our client would like to view the speaker notes (a PDF file) on a separate screen while using the application. What I would need is a separate application/html page which can show the PDF and programmatically change page when the master slide changes.

Is this possible?

If so, is it easiest to go with a html page + javascript or a Flex/AIR app?

It needs to be done without changing the PDF's, since there are 600+ files that need to be viewable.


Solution

  • You can embed PDF's in adobe AIR using the html renderer. I've never done it myself, but there are some good answers here: How do I display a PDF in Adobe Flex?.
