thanks for explaining this, I have never come across this trick ;-)<BR>
However, I doubt that there will be a way to display a PDF file in Flash (what Xerte is). Flash officially supports a handful of HTML tags in its HTML text fields but embed is not one of them.<BR>
<BR>
You mentioned the poor quality of FlashPaper in your first posting. Isn't there a way to tweak the quality in some way? I have never really used FlashPaper but I just did a short test with a Word file converting it to FlashPaper and it looked nice and crisp. If your original document is a Word doc, have you already tried to convert it directly to FlashPaper? You only mentioned that you converted from PDF to FlashPaper.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>

<BR>
well its just a trick and even netscape should be able to do this.<BR>
to embed a pdf-file in a webpage you must write:<BR>
<BR>
<embed src="<A HREF="http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/manual/Xerte%20Getting%20Started.pdf">http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/manual/Xerte%20Getting%20Started.pdf</A>" width="50%" height="400"><BR>
<BR>
and I have already created a link but it is not what I'm actually looking for because we want the pdf-document in the presentation and not beyond of it.<BR>
