Hi James Try the <embed> tag <http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_embed.asp> instead:
Here's an example how to turn it into a macro: [[$:/embedPDFmacro <http://xn--mns-ula.dk/udtalelser/hu/#%24%3A%2FembedPDFmacro>]] $:/tags/Macro: \define pdfembed(url) <embed src='$url$' type="application/pdf" width='100%' height='915'/> \end Usage: <<pdfembed "web adress or file path">> You might even be able to leave out the type attribute and experiment with other filetypes..
