Demo: PDF document in inline frame http://bit.ly/Fu2hS
For me, this works in Safari, and not in FireFox. Safari displays the
PDF inline, scaled to fit the iframe, but Firefox displays a blank
iframe and downloads the PDFs! In my experience, PDF's are treated
specially by browsers, and you can't rely on them displaying them.

Hello,
I have an iframe in my OL-application which shall display a pdf
document.
I have tried <embed> and <object>. Both tags do not display the pdf
in the iframe.
Does anybody know what I do wrong?
Kind Regards,
Marc
