Hi Kevin,

1. what exactly is the "PDF viewer stack"?

2. "browser image" is the biggest misunderstanding ever created by LC in my opinion! :D
What LC calls a "browser image" in their "browser" examples is JUST an empty image object, unfortuantely named "browser image",
but it ONLY serves as a reference for the RECT the browser object is set to!

They should have called it "empty image object representing the rect for the browser object, but has nothing to do with the browser actually"! :D

3. On Mac OS X this is build right into the OS, but on Windows we need the Acrobat browser plugin to be able to display PDF files in a browser

4.

Sorry, no idea what that means.


Best

Klaus
