of all three choices (AIR+AJAX, +Flash, and +FLEX) I went on the AJAX route. But it seems that it can't show Flash embedded in HTML (using the traditional OBJECT tag).
Is it by design? or my fault?
i think it's your fault. there are a number of air "web browsers" and they all can display flash just fine.
google for some. i found one here and it gives the source code as well
I've found the culprit: my window is transparent.
According to adobe, SWF and PDF won't be displayed if transparency is used.
I don't know much about Ajax but i do know the preferred method to embed flash into html is to use swfobject. have you tried that yet?

I need to display uploaded scans (JPG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, etc.) in the browser's window instead downloading them to a local pc and using external apps like Acrobat Reader.
I made some research in the web on that issue but wasn't really successful.
Does anyone have hints, code snippets, how to achieve that ?
EDIT :
Since I am not looking for a solution which supports viewing scans in a typical browser like Chrome, FireFox, etc. but supports viewing scans in an XPage view within Notes I need to ask my question again.
What is the best (recommended) way to view different types of scans, uploaded as PDF, JPG, TIFF, PNG, etc., in Notes within an XPage view ?
Take a look here, XPages: Embed PDF and possibly Office files
Here is some code that I have in an app for PDF's.
I tried using Bumpbox, and pdf.js and while I could get them working, iframes seemed to work best for me with using normal Domino attachment urls in xpages
I am not sure if this solution is right or not, but it works well for an app I have that only has PDFs. It does work on mobile too, at least on iOS.
<iframe
src="#{javascript:
var url = 'https://app.nsf/';
var doc = sessionScope.docID;
var atname = #RightBack(sessionScope.aname,'Body');
var end = '/$file'+atname;
return url+doc+end}"
width="800" height="1000">
</iframe>
If you are looking at using different file types you need to use a renderer, give it the attachment URL, and then display what the renderer returns with. I haven't looked at this in a while so things might have changed. Look for a lightbox clone that can display pdf. I think Orangebox was one, bumpbox looks to not be updated but I was able to get that working for me.
This method will display everything inline. I would love to see some type of renderer like pdf.js for xpages.
I do some research on QLPreviewController, it requires me to use the QLPreviewController to present a document or something like that. Is this possible for me to get the live document content as icon but within loading the QLPreviewController? Thanks.
No, this is not possible on iOS (yet).
I want to convert html to pdf dynamically in objective c.
what is the best way to convert it, so that it maintains its look same as html.
Thanks in advance.

UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToFile will help you to create a PDF file which shows your web content. Read through the documentation and create your own solution or just follow the tutorials I found:
Convert Html or UIWebView to pdf in iPhone or iPad
Making a PDF from a UIWebView
I have used this Haru open source library, it is quite simple and useful for creating pdfs http://libharu.org/wiki/Main_Page
Objective-C is a programming language, it doesn’t know anything about HTML or PDF per se. How to do this depends on the framework you’re using. I’m assuming here you’re using Cocoa on OS X.
There you can load your HTML into a WebView provided by WebKit and then use the NSView method dataWithPDFInsideRect: to render it as PDF. I haven’t tested this, but maybe you’ll have to add the web view to a window before you can query the PDF data.
I am working on the PDF App for iPad and facing an issue: how to search a text in PDF and also how to highlight that text?
Yours is the same big problem I'm having. My understanding is that, currently on iOS 4.0, the main public API is CGPDF . It allows us to parse PDF, and with it we can search strings in it. See also this Quartz 2D document. It also allows us to render it on the screen using CGContextDrawPage. However, it's not yet possible to get the position of a text in the rendered image. (On OS X it's possible using PDFKit.)
So, I'm afraid that you need to implement the PDF spec yourself to get that info. I think GoodReader etc. is working very very hard to implement these.
I had the same trouble recently and then I found FastPDFKit. Have tested the package and it's working great.

How to add/access hyperlinks (both internal and web page) in the PDF in iphone?
Sri
Not sure if you are asking this from a user or implementation perspective, I assume implementation as this is a programming Q/A site:
The PDF will more than likely be rasterized to an image for the phone, it will be up to the reader to extract the text/links and overlay these over the image to make them clickable.
I have seen this type of thing in flash readers/pagers where these link/hotspots are configured manually, obviously not an option for a generic PDF reader
This is the best that I have found on SO: Fast and Lean PDF Viewer for iPhone / iPad / iOs - tips and hints?. Many links and helpful tips.
