This session will make you rethink everything you know (or think you know) about PDF. The new native Flash support in Acrobat 9 will allow you to combine the power of Adobe's core technologies to present all kinds of content, documents, Flash, video, images, and animated 3D in one ubiquitous, easy to use, cross-platform format. Joel Geraci, Acrobat Technical Evangelist, will provide an overview of the integration points between PDF, Acrobat, and Flash and introduce you to PDF Portfolios, Flash video in Acrobat 9, and Flash widgets that will play inside PDF files.

Cheers,

ted :)

This is very nice, but the exact opposite of what I was really looking for.

We are building a Flex app and would like to serve up a PDF to be viewed within the Flex app without having to launch another browser window or download the PDF to be read by Adobe Reader.

Are there any plans to support PDF natively in Flex?

I doubt we'll ever see pdf support in flash because the flash player is optimized for the web to have a minimal footprint while the Acrobat Reader is comparatively massive. Pity Adobe killed flashpaper.
