ZaaIL is just a SWC that can be used against any Flash project regardless of where it's made (Flex, Flash Builder, Flash Professional). Cheers, Nate Hey Eric,

How do you mean “Flash project”?

Is there any documentation on how to use ZaaIL in Flash projects? Looks awesome, but I’m obviously missing something. Is there any documentation on how to use ZaaIL in Flash projects?

Thanks for your answer. That seems to be very complicated porting a pdf library. Do you see any other possibilities to bring pdf Files into an AIR app, besides the HTML Loader ? I know the pdf2swf from swftools, which generates a SWF from a PDF File, but unfortunately there is no swc which can be used directly via AS3 in an application. @Nate.

I'm not aware of any open source C PDF parsers... although to be honest I haven't really looked hard for one. PDF is tricky though... because it's not all Bitmap data. It has support for fonts, text and images. Anyways, there isn't any reason you couldn't do an Alchemy port if the parser existed. Cheers, Nate @Benjamin

So that its possible to give an image preview as Bitmap in Flash from an uploaded PDF File ? I want to integrate PDFs in an AIR APP and the possibility to display PDF in HTMLLoader is very uncomfortable or better said, completely buggy unusable. Benjamin @Nate, Great work !!!
