#PDF VIEWER IPAD HOW TO#
How to view Google drive pdf link in iframe This is relatively simple to do, and you can find simple instructions here: There are some jQuery solutions out there, but for my purposes, I found the simplest way to do it was to embed a google doc viewer link in an object or iframe tag. The only way to embed a PDF with decent results is to use a 3rd party rendering utility of some sort. Moreover, all browsers on an iPad are REQUIRED to use the Safari rendering engine, so you won't even be able to instruct users to install another browser. The way Safari handles PDF rendering is hopelessly in conflict with the entire concept of embedding a PDF in a webpage. I will try to save anyone looking for it some time: THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I have tried for years to find a solution to this problem. #container Īny way to get this done without hardcoding a crazy height? They're cheating by using a height of 10000px, which creates a lot of whitespace for a small doc, and potentially won't work for a very large doc: The question is, how do I make this work on the iPad browser?Ī similar question was posted here Making embedded PDF scrollable in iPad but the answer is not very good. I've got a jquery page with an embedded pdf which nicely scrolls on mozilla and chrome, but on safari (iPad) the PDF remains stuck on the first page and is not scrollable. PDFs view fine on their own when launched standalone, but not with the object tag. For some reason the iPad safari browser does not handle embedded PDFs well.
