Parser PDF Library for ActionScript3 / Adobe AIR
I'm working on an AIR application,
My problem is that I have to extract text, images or any other objects from the PDF file and convert them to text or image controls respectively in my application and
then I have to add controls to the container at the same positions (same x, y, width, height) as in the PDF file.
Also I need to display thumbnails in the PDF in the list.
Is there a better option for parsing PDFs and generating thumbnails from PDF pages without using any server side scripts?
Is there any access to the open lib besides Alive PDF
?. In Alive PDF, my requirement is difficult to parse.
Your bit help is also appreciated.

You should try PurePdf: http://code.google.com/p/purepdf/
You can also use an external application and run it through the Air NativeProcess class

The SamplePDFLoader.mxml application class calls the IFrame component and loads the PDF when it finishes creating. Also, this class calls a JavaScript function through the external interface class for PDF printing when the user clicks the button. IFrame.mxml component, this component makes wrapper htmls htmls function calls to load PDF in div tag, move PDF with IFrame component container, etc.
If you have a budget, I can highly recommend the Java PDF library from http://bfo.com We use it on a large project and the results are really good.
