Trevor,

Even so, Rev is the product that we all purchased to produce 
cross-platform apps. If Runtimes 'easy' solution is to wrap QuickTime into 
a player object to quickly support more filetypes, they should at least be 
working 'for us' to convince Apple to improve those supported filetypes to 
benefit everyone. If Apple insists that QuickTime for Windows will never 
support the PDF format, then other actions should be taken to directly 
support the format. After all, PDF is becoming the most common standard 
file format known to mankind.
