Is it possible to add an iframe or show web content within shoes itself? I'm basically trying to show a show a pdf within the shoes app itself.

Not possible with Shoes. The best you can do is ask a browser to show it and you won't have any control of what happens in the browser, assuming it does launch. Someone has written a Ruby gem to parse pdf's and in theory, if true, you might be able to display individual parts in Shoes elements or widgets but it would be tricky.

Cool. As always, thanks @ccoupe!
