Display PDF Webpage

[manojmakku]

Hi All,
I need to embed a PDF document in my webpage. I used Iframe for that. The problem is in IE when the PDF plugin is not installed, IE asks the user to download the document if the user says no, and click on another tab in the top navigation, the previous page's content is shown as "Action cancelled by the user". Is there any other alternative for this iframe for displaying the content?

Thanks

<img src="whichever.pdf"> would be a better way to embed it than an iframe but you are still reliant on the PDF plugin being installed for it to work properly. At least with not using an iframe it doesn't affect the browser history.

Thanks for your reply. I tried the img option, but I'm not able to see the PDF even if I have a plugin installed.

Might read the following and see if you might want to convert it:

Best not to use a format that triggers the browser to open other programs external to the browser.
