How to open a pdf in its native reader in iOS using AIR?

Hi there,
I am wondering if there is any feasability of opening a pdf directly in its native reader in iOS environment. I needed this to happen from an AIR application.
I have found that AIR can be extended using a java program to do the above task for Android.
here is the link: http://www.jamesward.com/2011/05/11/extending-air-for-android/
Thanks in advance,
Sris

Thanks everyone for the solutions.
After working all the possibilities to open locally saved file on iPad
1. StageWebView 
2. navigateToUrl
3. file.openWithDefaultApplication();
4. Java socket extension for AIR,
I finally found a solution.
StageWebView works on ipad.
the code that works is as suggested by xperiments.es.fr
But the problem I faced was saving the pdf and opening the locally saved file.
Since iOS does not support desktopDirectory & documentDirectory, I tried to save the pdf in applicationDirectory/applicationStorageDirectory, that didnt work when I tried to open the pdf from those locations.
So the only way was to store the generated PDF in a temporary directory and StageWebView could locate and load that
It works!!!
Now the next challenge is, while the desktop (Windows) compilation of the app shows PDF reader with menu options, which does not show on iPad app. IPad app shows just a page index on left-top corner. It would be good if the options are shown as well.
Lets see!!!
Cheers,
Sris

    There is no easy way to implement this. Its better to instruct users the shortcut to open the link in new window.

    Hi,

    buttonListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {

    You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights
    management, use protected PDFs via LiveCyle/ Acrobat Connect or learn how
    to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
    it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

  • How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

    I am new to Indesign Server.
    I'm currently working on a pdf.
    I have a white blank pdf template.
    that I want to attach/glue it with images.
    How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
    Please, help me.
    Thanks.

    First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
    Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
    Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
    If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
    If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
    A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

  • When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

  • How do I open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012

    Currently I am unable to find a valid method of being able to open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012. I've tried displaying the entire database on a form, but when I do this all the other columns show up with
    the correct data besides the one containing the pdf's, it just displays <binary data> in each row down the column. I also tried another method with which you use the database as a dataset and can drag and drop the rows and columns into the form, which
    again works for all the other columns besides the one containing the pdf's but this time I'm unable to interact with the column  at all. 
    Not too sure if this is in the correct place, but any answers or help would be appreciated. Cheers.

    Alex,
    This forum is dedicated to Project and Project Server. You might get better response, if you post to a Visual Basic forum. Here are couple I could find.
