Display/Render PDF or docx files in flash same like jquery colorbox or fancybox popup

Hi,

I want to render pdf files on the fly in flash in nice popup window.

I am able to show PDF files in nice popup in colorbox or fancybox.

Same way instead of jquery colorbox or fancybox popup pdf files will be seen in flash.

Any Idea?

-Thanks

The problem is that PDF files need a reader application installed on the visitor’s computer, or a flash-based reader application supplied on the website.

For example: http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/

However, considering that Flash isn’t supported on mobile devices these days, it’s not really a good idea to go with a flash-based solution for things.

It’s usually best just to offer a link to the PDF file and let the visitor handle it however they capable of doing so.

Mozilla are working on a library that can render PDFs in the browser: http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/
Mad what you can do with javaScript today, eh?

I heard about that a while back when they first started working on it. Good to see that it actually appears to be in usable shape now.
