"ouch: the beginning of the end"

[Andre Garzia]

Hi,

If your objective is just displaying a PDF then you can use a RevBrowser
window to do that, and even use PDF.js if you want:

  https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/

This would allow you to display the files as they are but won't help you
change or create new files.
