Here is the Fiddle link "http://jsfiddle.net/Z99gr/2/" which similar to my code, I have created a Image slider using Galleriffic. In the image slider along with images I am showing PDF embedded.
The Fiddle link and my image slider works fine in Chrome and Firefox, but in IE I its not loading. I am testing in IE 11
In IE, when I open the "DOM Explorer (F12 - debug tool of IE)" and selects the <div>
which contains the <embed>
tag for PDF, it show below code.
<div id="pdf">
<embed width="500" height="375" src="https://www.adobe.com/products/pdfjobready/pdfs/pdftraag.pdf" type="application/pdf">
</embed>
</div>
And when I just edit anything in this HTML TAG within the "DOM Explorer (F12 - debug tool of IE)", it loads the PDF.
This is a very weird nature of this issue.
I don't understand how to fix this issue.
Please suggest!
I am getting below results inm IE11:
Where as the results should be something like this (its a screencapture from Chrome):
I was now able to embed the PDF file IE using "<iframe>
" tag.
I replaced "<object>
" and "<embed>
" tag with <iframe>
and its working fine now with all 3 browsers, Firefox, Chrome and IE.
There are 2 ways of embedding PDF in IE.
1st way: Call PDF directly in <iframe>
Below is the updated code:
<div id="pdf">
<iframe src="https://www.adobe.com/products/pdfjobready/pdfs/pdftraag.pdf" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
<p>It appears your web browser doesn't support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
</div>
2nd way: if the browser doesn't have PDF reader the u can call an HTML in page <iframe>
which contains <object>
tag .
Below is the code for 2nd option
<div id="pdf">
<iframe src="pdf.html" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
<p>It appears your web browser doesn't support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
</div>
Code for "pdf.html"
<body>
<object data="lorem.pdf" type="application/pdf">
<p>It appears you don't have Adobe Reader or PDF support in this web browser. <a href="lorem.pdf">Click here to download the PDF</a>. Or <a href="http://get.adobe.com/reader/" target="_blank">click here to install Adobe Reader</a>.</p>
<embed src="lorem.pdf" type="application/pdf" />
</object>
</body>
This worked for me!!!
