Essentially I am using the HTMLviewer and reading in an .htm file which itself embeds a pdf. The .htm file has the following html statement (call it help.htm for instance) <object type="application/pdf" data="G:\sample.pdf" " width="90%" height="90%" < >/object > Then I use a simple htmlviewer.loadurl "G:\help.htm" statement in the open event. This works just fine and does the job I want with IE/Chrome et al (except Safari). Not hugely elegant I admit but ok. I am working with Win7 and have all the normal browsers installed. My question is - How does the HTMLViewer work exactly?, Is it dependant on/linked to a particular browser? or is it truly standalone code? The reason for asking is that my "trick" does not work with Safari, though safari happily opens pdfs from the interent, so would the fudge work in the app running on a MAC if HTMLViewer were dependent on safari? If the answer is no can anyone tell me how to embed a pdf into safari?. Hope this makes sense Thanks Top Akiland Post subject: Re: Viewing PDF filesPosted: Wed May 29, 2013 8:38 am Joined: Tue Jan 04, 2011 3:02 am Posts: 1225 Location: Jönköping, Sweden It's a Web App right? _________________ http://www.linkedin.com/in/albinkiland Dev. iMac 27" + 2x22" LG (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 120GB SSD) OS X 10.8 REAL.Studio Web Edition 2011r3 Top ngmp Post subject: Re: Viewing PDF filesPosted: Wed May 29, 2013 8:54 am Joined: Wed Jan 09, 2013 5:53 am Posts: 20 Hi - thanks for the reply... Actually no this is a desktop app. The appp writes the .htm file internally, then creates it, and deletes it on closing down app. User picks which pdf to view Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ]
