Using an iframe tag is the second way to embed a pdf file in an HTML web page. In web development, web developers use the iframe tag to embed files in various formats and even other websites within a web page. Due to its wide compatibility, the iframe tag is widely used for embedding pdf.
Fortunately, Adobe has released Adobe PDF Embed API (PDF Embed), an easy way for you to incorporate a PDF directly into your website with just an easy snippet of code.
