I’m using fancy box to embed a pdf into a modal, code below:
<object data='pdf/document.pdf#view=FitH&scrollbar=0&toolbar=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&navpanes=0' type='application/pdf' width='360px' height='510px'>
<embed src='pdf/document.pdf#view=FitH&scrollbar=0&toolbar=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&navpanes=0' type='application/pdf' width='360px' height='510px' />
</object>
This works fine in all browsers except in IE9 and 10 where the modal will load the PDF the first time, but when I close the modal and open it again I get a grey box where the PDF should be. In IE8 the PDF does not load at all.
I thought about using an iFrame, but I need to display inline content alongside the PDF, i.e.; PDF on the left, with inline text and image on the right.
Any thoughts?
You may try the following alternatives to display PDF embedded in HTML page:
PDFObject script to embed PDF.
PDF.js viewer (client-side javascript PDF viewer, see the online demo) but notice it requires IE 9 to IE 11 as minimum depending on PDF;

I want to display my PDF files on my web page.
This is my code which works perfectly my computers browser but id does not display in mobile's chrome shows the message
plugin not supported
this is my code
<embed src="http://health.ntuh.gov.tw/health/NTUH_e_Net/NTUH_e_Net_no91/%E7%99%8C%E7%97%87%E7%AF%A9%E6%AA%A2.pdf" type="application/pdf" />
You can use Google Drive PDF viewer with Object data
ex.
<object data="https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=http://health.ntuh.gov.tw/health/NTUH_e_Net/NTUH_e_Net_no91/%E7%99%8C%E7%97%87%E7%AF%A9%E6%AA%A2.pdf" type="application/pdf">

PDF must be a download to browsing device So Some browsers can display with their pdf extension and some may not have such a pdf extender.
Users can set their own PDF preferences like display or not display after download or use a different PDF extender.
Embed is not the preferred method for serving a PDF, the most preferred method is text or a thumbnail cover / image icon with <a href=file.pdf download> click to download whole file</a> this reduces the load on the server (reduced cost like Amazon / book sites)
 
2nd best is one iFrame on a page Below on Right (more than one means multiple downloads.)
Finally an Embed (Object is a method to be avoided as now depreciating / not good) See your Embed in an Object Above Left
Hi I have problem that I want to embed my website pdf file in books.google.com by iframe. I have tried that answer but I dont know that how to give my site link to iframe
<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:0px" src="https://books.google.com.kh/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=website.com/test/CV.pdf" width="500" height=500></iframe>
So any suggestion or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
It does't seem that you ever uploaded your PDF to books.google. You will have to do so in order to get the embed code to include in you site.
With the direct link you provided, you can embed that like this:
<iframe src="http://www.softbroz.com/test/CV.pdf" style="width:718px; height:700px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
If you want to embed a PDF from books.google, you will have to upload the PDF first, then follow these instructions:
Embed a PDF located on google drive
Select your PDF in Google Drive. In the toolbar click on the eye
icon to preview the PDF.
You need to pop out the PDF by clicking on the Pop-out icon (square
with an arrow).
The more options icon (3 dots) has the option to embed the PDF.
Copy the embed code. Use this in your site. Notice the default height and width in the code of
640 by 480 pixels. You may want to edit those values to show the
size you want in your embed.
I was given an interactive pdf file, it has a slide with a small slideshow (3 slides) when looked at that particular slide. There is a play button and stop button at the bottom that appears/disappears if you move your mouse over it, and we can choose to play it or stop it. I don't know if its a video though. But, there is some interactivity in that slide. I tried to embed this pdf in an HTML file iframe. It works for the most part but the interactivity doesn't work in chrome: I have Version 53.0.2785.143 m of chrome.
However, not sure if by fluke or what, in IE 11 its working. Any ideas on how this can be made to work on chrome? I am using a simple iframe
<iframe src="file://C:\Users\svboll\embed-pdf\Interactive.pdf"
style="width:718px; height:700px;"
frameborder="0"></iframe>
IE 11 uses the Adobe Reader plugin (if available and it sounds like it is) to display the PDF in the iFrame so you'll see the interactivity play correctly there. Edge doesn't and neither does Chrome. Chrome uses it's own built-in PDF viewer which doesn't support most interactivity. For interactive PDF, you simply will not be able to create a consistent experience of PDF in an iframe across browsers, platforms, and devices. This is not a limitation of PDF, it's a limitation of the viewers in that they have not fully implemented the PDF specification.
I've been playing around with different methods of displaying PDFs with the goal of finding a way of changing the grey background to white.
Here is a simple example using object tags (I get the same result with embed and iframe tags):
http://jsfiddle.net/5CALy/7/
HTML
<object data='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58922976/test.pdf#view=FitH&scrollbar=0&toolbar=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&navpanes=0'
type='application/pdf'
width='84%'
height='110px'>
<p>It appears your Web browser is not configured to display PDF files.
No worries, just <a href='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58922976/test.pdf'>click here to download the PDF file.</a></p>
</object>
Thanks!!
The OP Link actually now succeeds by default, here is the view of requesting no pdf where response is with image on white background
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58922976/test.pdf
However it is normal to use a dark or light presentation background for images PowerPoints pdf other viewing
It is entirely up to the viewer
This browser only opens files in external mode
Or why not rainbow friendly?
But for the answer, ask users to do it themselves
For Firefox users there is a hack see How can I enable dark mode when viewing a pdf file in firefox https://stackoverflow.com/a/74564207/10802527
You can but cannot!
I mean,
Every browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc.) use their own PDF engine for displaying embedded PDF Files. You can use JavaScript or jQuery to detect the element which has the grey color and change it to white but you'll have to do this for every browser available in the market which is nearly impossible. Moreover, Web Browsers do not provide you an API for this.
The only better solution for this is to make your own PDF Viewer:
You can use this https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/ opensource package (By Mozilla) to get it done.
Welcome!
I need to embed a PDF document inside an HTML page. The PDF is dynamically generated, i.e., not a static file, but rather a byte-array generated using a PDF toolkit (in my case, "Apache PDFBox"). I have a Java Web app.
From what I understand, there are 2 ways to embed a PDF: using the OBJECT and IFRAME tags.
The <object> tag does not work for me. When I have a dynamically-generated source, it takes 20 sec. to render. I'm not sure if that is a problem of the Acrobat Reader plugin, but I have not been able to get around this strange behavior.
The <iframe> tag works fine and displays the PDF. But here's the problem: My PDF has a Submit button which submits the form. After I submit the form, I need to re-display the PDF with some kind of status message. The form output goes to the same frame. Thus, I get a Frame-inside-a-Frame. There is no way to break out of the current frame, because I don't have access to the <form> tag. The form is contained inside the PDF and Acrobat takes care of submitting the form. If I have extra elements in my frame, such as a text message, I will get cascading frames.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
<object data="myfile.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.
No biggie... you can <a href="myfile.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a></p>
