Importing pdf files or working with PDF files in player object

[Brian Yennie]

FWIW, I don't think you'll find this anytime soon. As evidence of how 
cryptic and hard to support the PDF format is, witness that there is no 
standard API for Windows and Apple only recently spun it's own. Almost 
all PDF viewing applications rely directly or indirectly on Acrobat 
and/or an Adobe plugin. And that's just to display the file, let alone 
break it apart and show it in some other format.
