Trouble getting PDF to display

[wblakenc]

I have been searching the net and found a few different ways to display a PDF in an AIR app.  I can get a PDF to display using the users PDF client (which in my case opens FireFox and displays the PDF).  I would rather avoid this as I would like to embed the reader inside the AIR application.  After doing more research I found the following tutorial:

Basically the tutorial embeds a web browser that is created in the AIR application which should be able to display the PDF.  This does not seem to work for me.  I can display regular web pages but when I try and get it to display a PDF nothing happens (just a blank white screen).  I have Acrobat 9.0 Pro on my computer so this "should" work but doesn't.  Any suggestions?

Ok, figured out the problem.  Wasn't the code but the fact that AIR 1.5 does not like Adobe 9.2.  I had to update Adobe Air to 1.5.2.8900 which included a fix for the problem.

So long story short, if you are trying to display a PDF in an AIR application, make sure you are using the newest version of AIR otherwise you will most likely get a white screen.
