inserting a pdf doc into an inline frame page - 3/5/2008 1:32:14
Hi, is there a way of inserting a pdf document into an inline frame page. I don't care if the doc is bigger than the page because the scroll bars will be enabled?
Thanks TJ

Sure - just put the pdf into the iframe source.

Hi Thanks for the reply.
I am only new at this so don't know html codes and just use the fronpage design window to create my website.
Can you elaborate on or show me what I should be putting into the source code.
If this helps this is the url of the page where I would like to insert a pdf doc into the inline frame on the page. http://www.townsvillewarriors.org.au/Rules.html
Not sure if this helps.
Thanks TJ

In Frontpage 2003, go to Insert - Inline Frame. This will create some code similar to this:<iframe name="I1">
Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.
</iframe> Now in the <iframe> element, you need the source of the iframe. Something like <iframe name="I1" src="pdf/example.pdf">

RE: inserting a pdf doc into an inline frame page - 3/7/2008 6:51:36
Hi, this still wont work for me when I try to put a pdf doc in an inline frame - it keeps openning up a new webpage.
The reason I want to make it a pdf doc is cause I have made the document in the inline frame a seperate webpage a .mht webpage but it takes up over 700k. If I could make it into a PDF doc which I can it reduces the file size to a quarter.
Just cant get the pdf doc to open up in the inline frame page. It allways opens up in a new page. This is a post of the original page when it is directed at openning up a .MHT page which works fine except for the size.
<iframe name="I1" src="images/2008%20TF%20Junior%20Rules.mht" width="773" height="742" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1">
Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.
</iframe>
I have tried this but to no avail.
<iframe name="I1" src="images/Draw 02 MARCH 08.pdf" width="773" height="742" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1">
Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.
</iframe>

why not just link to a pdf and a Word Doc (assuming it was done in Word in the first place) and/or then simply extract the text from the archive and place it in the iframe as text (view the thing in IE and copy the text from there and then paste into your iframe as plain text).
who wants to open a pdf in an iframe anyway? it's going to be too small and not zoom easily. keep it simple ;)

I was able to embed the pdf into an iframe - it just was difficult to read until I made it to be 100%.

I tried everything to no avail to get a pdf doc to open up in a common web page with a inline frame. It would always open up in a new window. I wish there was something just like when you make a hyperlink and then select the target frame as I1 or I2 meaning inline frame 1 or 2. But you can't. Is there some special code I need to know about?
Anyway I did like dave said and kept it simple and just made a link to the pdf doc. It works fine but not quite the complete finished look I was after.
