Introducing PDFObject. I recently worked on an e-learning course that required embedding some PDFs into an HTML file. PDF embedding piqued my curiosity, and has become something of a pet project. It sounds simpler than it is. No, scratch that… it is pretty simple. Stoopid simple. The problem is that there’s a lot of bad info about embedding PDFs floating around the www, especially regarding using the embed element. Note to readers: embed bad, object good. Unlike embedding SWFs, embedding a PDF is a breeze if you use the object element, and the object element has the added bonus of being totally standards-compliant. As I tinkered on my new pet project, I decided it would be nice to have a JavaScript script that could dynamically embed PDFs as easily as SWFObject allows SWF embedding.
One of the perks of using this script is that it makes working with PDF Open parameters much easier, similar to how SWFObject makes working with flashvars easier. PDFObject: Standards-friendly PDF embedding. Téléchargement d'Adobe Reader - Toutes versions. Installing Acrobat reader on Debian.
