Though the following code validates ok as W3C compatible, I can't seem to get it to work in IE7 & IE8, as I keep getting the message 'Your browser does not support embedded PDF files'. The 'any_pdf_file.pdf' it calls, can be any PDF file. Someone in Canada can get this code to work on their IE8 machine, but I can't - see next paragraph.
I am based in the UK and I do understand that my IE8 (currently reverted to IE7 to try & solve this problem) is different to US versions in that in 'Tools/Internet Options/Security' there is a Checkbox called 'Enable Protected Mode' which is not on my UK version. (Incidentally, I believe this missing Checkbox is the reason why 'Nuances's PDF Convertor Prof. V6' keeps crashing my IE8 - Nuance is currently investigating this problem.) I have tried various combinations of this code, in an effort to get it to work - my attempts can be seen at 'http://www.surreytt.co.uk/STTA_General/Statistics/' and in the various sub-folders. ================================================================================ ================== <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>any_pdf_file</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > </head> <body> <div> <object width="800" height="800" data="any_pdf_file.pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=0& scrollbar=1&page =1&view=FitH" type="application/pdf" title="Title of this pdf file"> <p>Your browser does not support embedded PDF files.</p> </object> </div> </body> </html> ================================================================================ ============ John F. |

Don't know for sure, but I think this is controlled by user settings. I found this test page.
http://joliclic.free.fr/html/object-tag/en...cation.html#pdf According to the author's notes it should work in most browsers. I doesn't work in any browser I tried, but I don't allow my PDF reader to "open inside the browser" (or whatever they call it). |
