Aiyo! (Lamentations)
Windows won't play PDFs in QT...
Richard: did that windows machine have QT 7 for Windows loaded?
I'm sure you know this already but Apple just released QT with H.264
format capabilities for Windows just a few weeks ago... so I just
wanted to check if this was happening in the latest QT,
Dan: in the top of the open dialog box when clicking the browse
button in a Rev QT Player, it defaults to "QuickTime Movie", just
choose "All Files" and then the PDF files will be available as a
file choice (OSX).
But the "not on Windows" really a show stopper for this project. We
will call our friends at Apple tomorrow and beg!
