title: Is there another way to integrate PDF viewing in a Flex application?
body: <p>I'm looking at ways to embed PDF viewing in a Flex application.</p>
  
  <p>Currently the only option I've seen is by using the <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/html/HTMLLoader.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">flash.html.HTMLLoader</a> class, which only works if you're using AIR. This isn't a big deal -- I'm willing to use AIR if I have to -- but based on my experimentation with viewing a PDF this way it appears that AIR simply integrates the embedded Adobe PDF browser Plug-in for viewing, which not only shows the PDF page(s), but provides all of the manipulation controls as well (zooming, printing, etc.) which I don't want to see.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for something that works somewhat along the lines of the <a href="http://www.jpedal.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JPedal</a> library for Java -- an embedded component that simply renders the PDF alone.
  Has anyone found a way to do this with either AIR's built-in component or via some other method? </p>
