Hi Todd,
Thanks for that information.
Looks like displaying our PDFs in a simple browser object works fine. It's easy
to convert the word docs over to PDF, and they seem to be displaying perfectly.
The PDFs appear seamlessly in the app. We have no need for editing of these
documents once they
Hi Richard,
We had the same issue, but we needed to actually edit the documents. If you
just need to display, HTML is the way to go. I suggest you use Base64 to
put the image in the HTML so there are no possible broken links. It is easy

I haven't done this, but it is pretty clear that since word can save to PDF, if
livecode can display PDFs efficiently, that's going to be your most efficient
and flexible approach. You do the formatting in Word, then export the doc to
PDF. You might also try displaying the PDF in a brow
I am building an iOS app in which I need to display numerous (upwards of 50)
documents that contain mixed text and images. A typical doc would be about
three legal pages long and might contain 5–6 small images interspersed among
the text. Basically, Word documents. When displaying each doc, I w
