PDF in Articles

[Rafferty]

Is there a means to display PDF documents within articles or is it not possible at the moment

Keep up the great job!!

[IchBin]

There's no way to do that currently, and no plans that I know of.

over at tufat, there is a flash PDF reader that will display it right in your article.

I think the reader cost $5 though.

EDIT: I didn't see it there. I did see it somewhere though. I will see if I can find it somewhere real quick.

Have you tried something like:

Code Select Expand

<object data="URL TO YOUR PDF.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="900" height="750" ></object>

YOu may have to use an Iframe.

Apparently, the flash PDF reader isn't officially released yet.

[Rafferty]

The little snippet worked fine for the time being, appreciate it, thanks

I am looking for the same thing.

I was able to use Iframe.  I think this will do.

Looks like that works good bluedevilâ,,¢, you may want to try the auto-resizing iframe code that G6 posted some time back... I use it on some articles/iframes and it works well.

EDIT: Just happened to have a copy handy.

<iframe id="myframe" src="http://www.yoursitehere.com/page_to_display/" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" style="width: 100%; display: none;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

[bluedevil]

wow!  Thats one big code hehehehe..

i was using this one:

<IFRAME src="http://www.anyurl.com/" width="100%" height=1050></IFRAME>


Thanx il try that

It helps in that for most cases it will do away with the double scroll bar effect... in most cases being the key words because a few times I've had to change the scrolling="no" to scrolling="yes" in order to get it to work correctly.
