Using PurePDF is it possible to view PDFs?

Can you use PurePDF to view files or is the api only for writing them?

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/

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

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.
