Hi Måns,
I am sorry to post a reply on the old threat.
I found your scripts really useful and it works on embedded PDF into TW5
very well.
However, I encounter a problem when I tried to embedded a local PDF file in
TW5. It pops up a download window instead of showing PDF in the iframe.
Would you mind to shed some lights on that?
Thanks.
