If I understand right, this brings the Chrome rendering engine to Xojo in Webkit mode ? Does it support display of PDF files like Chrome does ? If this is the case, it will be a great improvement to be able to display PDF without the need for the Adobe Acrobat plugin.

Can you confirm/infirm ? Thxs

First, please ask in a new thread. This one was only for announcements. Second, the plugin just adds additional classes to access functions on a HTMLViewer using WebKit on Windows. It does not help on PDF plugins.
