There are a set of open parameter specify how the viewer should open the pdf . However, with the Chrome and firefox browser's default viewer , it does not work
<object id = 'zoomPage' type='application/pdf' data= '1.pdf#view=fit'><p>The PDF can not display</p></object>
I have tried the fit which I would like the pdf fill the object. If there is no parameter support , are there any workaround ? I tried a lot of approach but none of them work. For example, I also tried using iframe instead of object. However, the content does not resize. Thanks
<iframe src="1.pdf" width=1300 height=3300></iframe>
Searching a solution for a problem very similar to yours, I found an interesting thread on forum.asp.net. http://forums.asp.net/t/1877403.aspx?Issue+with+embedded+pdf+object+in+chrome+browsers
At the end of the page, there is a workaround by a user working smoothly in Chrome. That seems to solve the problem.
Here it is an example:
<iframe src="/Downloads/MyPdfDocument.pdf#view=fitH" width="700" height="880"></iframe>
For users fighting with http://pdfobject.com/ -> "pdfobject.js" like me, you can change few lines of code on both minified and develop version of pdfobject.
Find:
c.innerHTML='<object data="'+a+'" type="application/pdf" width="'+i+'" height="'+z+'"></object>';return c.getElementsByTagName("object")[0];
and change with this line of code:
c.innerHTML='<iframe src="'+a+'" width="'+i+'" height="'+z+'"></iframe>';return c.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0];
Hope this helps.
