If one is not available then it is not possible to emded the software application. I know there is one for Adobe Acrobat so you can embed PDF files. To draw an ActiveX control on a PDL simply go to the Object Pallette and select Smart Objects -> Control. This shows a list of all activex controls registered on your machine. Salma
