HI all,

I'm trying to embed a pdf document into a html page. I'm using the following code to do it:

EMBED SRC="test22.pdf" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="650"

however I want to have more control then just opening the pdf, I want to be able to minimize the toolbar, control the zoom etc. I looked at some code on other peoples sites and i found this line :

EMBED SRC="test22.pdf#pageid=page=7 zoom=200,200,100"

However this doesen't seem to work when i copy and paste it in to my code. It doesen't display anything. Is there a mistake in this code??

Any ideas??

Why can't you link to the file instead of trying to embed it?

This will load the pdf into the browser with total functionality (provided acrobat reader has been installed on the system) or the user can right click and save target to download the file in the directory of their choosing.

I just posted zoom=200,200,100 into a URL for one of my PDFs and it did change the zoom.

Wouldn't it be easier though to control this stuff by setting it up in the document itself?

i'm trying to embed it into a page that has other elements as well. I don't want to link to it I just want to embed it. I have seen it done on a different site using the code above but when I try it it does not work. Is there any where i could find out the attributes for the embed pdf tag.

How do i set this stuff up in the document it self.

thanks for the reply.

The attributes (and behaviors) of the EMBED tag are different for every browser.
