PDF FILE LOADER IN AIR

You can add a PDF to an AIR application by creating an HTMLLoader instance, setting its dimensions, and loading the path of a PDF.The following example loads a PDF from an external site. Replace the URLRequest with the path to an available external PDF.

import mx.core.Application;

public function loadPdfUI(path:String):void

{

if(hasAdobeReader())

{

var htmlloader:HTMLLoader = HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(true);

htmlloader.window.document.title="PDF CONTAINER - "+path;

htmlloader.window.document.width = Application.application.width;

htmlloader.window.document.height = Application.application.height;

var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest(decodeURIComponent(path));

htmlloader.x = 0; htmlloader.y = 0;

htmlloader.load(url);

}

}

private function hasAdobeReader():Boolean

{

return (HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK) ? true : false;

}

The hasAdobeReader() method is used to detect the Adobe Reader is in the system.
