How parent win can know when a PDF file has finished loading in a child win?

Juergen Thelen, Cathy Low, 


Just embed the desired PDF file in your child document using

  <EMBED src="my.pdf" ... ></EMBED>

Most browsers will fire an LOAD event when the embed finished loading, 
so you can use the onLoad Handler in your childs <BODY> tag to call a 
function residing in your parent window, e.g.:

  <BODY onload="parent.ChildFinishedLoading()">

Hth, Juergen
