I m embeding a pdf document into my html code. For this i have wrote this code.
There are THREE ways to show a PDF in HTML: using embed, object, or iframe. Unfortunately using iframe will not allow the Adobe Javascript inside the PDF to post messages to the JS in HTML, because the hostContainer is undefined. Therefore I am forced to use embed or object. Fortunately thirtydot's style code also works great for object. Here is my working code...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Preview</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
object {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 0
}
</style>
<script language="javascript">
function handleMessage(msg) {
alert('got message '+msg);
}
function setupHandler() {
document.getElementById("myPdf").messageHandler = { onMessage: handleMessage };
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setupHandler();">
<object id="myPdf" type="application/pdf" data="file_with_actions.pdf">
Unable to open the PDF file.
</object>
</body>
</html>
You can read more about the Javascript stuff here.
I would try with an <iframe>
element.
If not, maybe transforming it into flash and then embedding the flash.
Also, try <!doctype html>
and see what it does, that's the standard doctype for HTML5
This is basically @tXK's answer (+1), but with working (battle tested) code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Preview</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 0
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src=""></iframe>
</body>
</html>
