Yes thanks, while I haven't done that in Rev, I assumed it to be the 
case, given QuickTime's features. But, as you know and have indicated, 
that technique has limited viability for distribution outside of the 
Mac audience... e.g. most computer users.

I'd love to see some way to either work elegantly hand-in-hand with 
Acrobat viewer, or be able to directly work with and display PDF files 
within Rev, on a cross platform level. Ideally, with links, view, and 
print functions intact.
