We use PDF documents as online help files. The PDF help files are distributed with the thin client installation and are therefore on the client side. The help window uses the PDF control. To make the help file context sensitive, we use the Form.tag attribute as a descriptor which is identical to the appropriate bookmarks in the PDF file. When opening the PDF file from a certain form, the Form.tag of that form is passed as the bookmark to the PDF file which then is opened at the correct page. That works very fine with us. It also has the advantage that the user has a nicely formatted help file (hard copy) on his side and can refer offline to it as well.
