It's not age, just experience. :)
You're absolutely right, there is one way to display PDFs in Rev and
it's very limited: on OS X only you can display PDFs inside of a player
control. This does not work on Windows or Linux, and as you can imagine
has a limited UI (you can't select text, for example, and the page is
rendered scaled within the player without scrollbars of its own, so
you'll need to put it in a group of you bother with it at all).
