Using PurePDF is it possible to view PDFs?

Can yo开发者_如何学Pythonu use PurePDF to view files or is the api only for writing them?

Based on the PurePDF Project Page, reading and extracting information from PDFs is supported:

read existing pdf documents (extract strings, streams, images and all the informations from them).   See HelloWorldReader.as for an example 

However, if you're looking to view / rasterize a PDF, that's a much more complicated task and doesn't look like it's supported as part of PurePDF.

I suggest converting the PDF into a swf file. There are a number of projects out there (including free / open source) that convert pages into SWF files, including being able to still extract the text. :D

It looks like you can either navigate to the url of the PDF (maybe in an HTML component?) , OR a richer solution might be to use the open source flex paper : http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/
