Hello!

 

I am looking for a FSX addon for viewing Pdf tutorials in flight...is possible?

 

Thank you!

Not to be rude, but...why?

 

Just use a different program. Better yet, if you have a phone or tablet (iPad), look at it there. If not, print it out.

 

Flight Sim isn't really meant to open and read PDFs. You could certainly attach it to the kneeboard if you have it in an HTML version (but that conversion would be difficult, because it's not a direct conversion).

Why not just use Adobe Reader (free) and FSX in windowed mode? There would also be less of a performance impact, as the external PDF reader would not have to be running throughout the entire flight.

 

To read PDF files, I either use my former school computer (which is also used for tasks involving AVSIM, general documents, and web browsing) or GoodReader on the family iPad.
