Guest John-O Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have a business website with PDF newsletters. The web pages have a PDF file embedded in them using this code:<EMBED src="../pdf/NewsFlash_October16-2006.pdf" width="668" height="990" href="../pdf/NewsFlash_October16-2006.pdf" align="top">Everytime I or anyone else opens the page the PDF loads but then the error window pops up shutting down Adobe.Can anyone help me out?Heres the site if you want to check it outhttp://www.managementdynamics.com/GTM/mdi061016-0409.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftJIS Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 For one, I would ditch the PDF altogether and figure out another way to display the data. Otherwise, here are some of my thoughts:Please close the EMBED tag. I can't stand ill formed markup.I think the issue is probably on the client side, with whatever plugin adobe uses to display pages inline. This isn't as good, since there are people that either don't have the plugin, or block specific plugin/active-x use.You can consider putting in a frame, and having that frame just point to the pdf. I personally dislike frames myself, but it is something you can do.Otherwise, look into this: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashpaper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Can't you just link to them like a normal hyperlink, then just have a disclaimer that says you need Adobe so download the latest version here if you do not already have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmedwa04 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I have never really thought about embeding files in a page, but com to think of it, all files on our intranet at school are embedded in this sortof way, because when you click on them, they open in a small ort of frame with all the different buttons, like a mini program!

justsomeguy Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You're probably talking about the Acrobat plugin for IE, which is made by Adobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
