My embed element is able to show pdf preview in chrome but not in safari. Can anyone advise on how I can render the embed PDF Preview element on safari?
I have tried some of the methods but none worked.
Recommended way to embed PDF in HTML?
Thank you!
<embed src="" type="application/pdf">
In many mobile browsers, PDFs are not able to be rendered using standard embeds, instead, you might want to turn to a library such as pdf.js by Mozilla. This library renders pdfs independently of the built-in PDF viewer, so it doesn't have the same restrictions as embeds.

I'm looking for how to embed a PDF file in a web page that will be viewable in the native Android browser / Chrome. If I use something like this:
<object data={'LINK_TO_PDF.pdf'+'#zoom=100&scrollbar=0&toolbar=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&navpanes=0'}
type='application/pdf'
width='100%'
height='90%'>
<p>This browser does not support inline PDFs. Please download the PDF to view.</p>
</object>
It works great on Chrome, FireFox, and Edge on Windows. It works great in Safari on iPad (iPadOS) and Safari on iPhone (iOS).
But it does not display on Android.
The files are not publicly accessible, so I cannot use the Google Docs viewer.
PDF.js doesn't seem to help. PDFObject doesn't seem to help. I've looked a bit at ViewerJS.org, but most of its source code has not been updated in 7yrs.
I've seen lots of questions and answers about this, but most of them are old. Surely in 2021, there's a way to do this that works with Android?
(Having to download the file, open it up in a third-party PDF Viewer app, and then close it, switch apps, delete the PDF, and go back to the webpage seems very backwards.)
How can this be done to provide a good user experience on Android?
The Embedded PDF in my HTML page not working correctly just shows a file name on the page but works fine in Chrome
<object data="content/en_US/download_assets/1.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="{{width}}" height="{{height}}">1.pdf</object>
Height and Width ill map externally
unfortunately IE is not the greatest browser and requires some help to view a pdf
Open Internet Explorer and choose Tools > Manage Add-ons.
Under Add-on Types, select Toolbars and Extensions.
In the Show menu, choose All add-ons.
In the list of add-ons, select Adobe PDF Reader.
Click the Enable button.
I have an iframe which loads PDF. It loads PDF successfully in all browsers. But anchor tags inside those PDFs are not clickable in Firefox and safari.
In works fine in google chrome.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
It looks working when used Embeddable Google Document Viewer (http://googlesystem.blogspot.in/2009/09/embeddable-google-document-viewer.html).
Working:
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.realtimecases.com/system/cases_offereds/media/000/000/009/original/Public_Relations_Communications_Overview.pdf?1453309175&embedded=true" width="100%" height="900"></iframe>
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. Click here to download the PDF. Or click here to install Adobe Reader.</p>
<embed src="lorem.pdf" type="application/pdf" />
</object>
</body>
This worked for me!!!
Here is the WORKING Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/Z99gr/9/
Hope it will be helpful for others in future!
To anyone that has this issues in the future, you have to turn off compatibility mode for intranet sites.
Tools > Compatibility View Settings > Uncheck "Display Intranet sites in Compatibility View"
Developer tools overrides the compatibility view and displays the page in IE11. Compatibility makes the page display as IE5
Found a fix that worked for me...
I was using IE11, Win7 enterprise, and latest version of adobe reader XI which I had just updated.
The website I had a problem with, was using <object></object> to do the imbedded PDF (it was a CQ5 component, if that matters).
I didn't have to modify the html -- this is what i did:
1) Go to internet options in IE
2) Go to Advanced
3) Click "Reset...". I also clicked "delete personal settings" since I mainly use IE for testing web development so there's no much there...
4) Requires computer restart, so do that.
5) When you are back in, open IE11.
6) It will prompt you if you want to use it's default settings/accelerators. I said YES (i usually always said NO to this, in the past).
7) Open site, and enjoy success.
It also fixed this example site for me, so I know something good happened.

I tried doing the "TabProcGrowth" fix in the registry (some other solution i found earlier), but that didn't work either. Only resetting IE to scratch worked for me.
Solution: Install adobe acrobat reader.
It appears to me that IE uses whatever reader is installed to view embedded or natively opened PDFs, whereas chrome, edge and other modern browsers comes with a PDF viewer of sorts.
My website will have a logo on the header that will play as a flash movie (animated flash movie .swf). I am looking for code / algorithm that will display an image with the same dimensions as the flash movie if Flash is not installed or enabled for the current user accessing the site. How do I do this?
You can use general object fallback detection. The way this works is that anything the browser doesn't know how to render in the object tag, it will fall through to the content inside.
A clipped version of your code would look similar to this:
<object id="my-flash" src="movie.swf" width="800" height="600">
<img src="fallback_image.jpg" width="800" height="600" />
</object>
Of course, you would need to wrap your actual Flash embed HTML around the image, but that's the idea.
I suggest using SWFObject for this. It works great, it will work cross-browser, and you can specify which version of Flash you are looking for (this could be key since there are some major differences). Check this tutorial on providing alternative content, which is exactly what you want to do.
