Common requests:
- Create PDF from what you see on screen
- Render printable content, e.g., next-gen Flash Paper

Should that API be PDF itself, or is MARS the proper mechanism?

This FR has been re-purposed to be more general.

Old Description:
I would really like to see an API to allow us to view and create MARS documents within a Flex application. I think this would offer a much better document quality level than the current print APIs, as 1) you would have much more control over how the document would be laid out, and 2) the ability to convert the flash-based vector art and text to SVG when you create the document would yield a higher resolution, and thus a cleaner printing, document.
