One of the posts to the SuperCard list mentioned a neat feature using QT
under OS X: you can load PDF files inside of a Player object and then
(assuming you have the controller showing) page through the PDF using
the controller (or you can do so using a 'set the currentTime' script).
Resizing the Player object resizes the PDF, and it renders beautifully.

Note that this to require the release of 2.4.3 or higher of the MC
engine, so it only appears to work in Rev 2.0 at the moment.

Unfortunately it's not supported on Windows... dash it all... but for OS
X implementations, it's a really cool feature.
