No, sorry. I was just talking about images. For PDFs, you either have to 
use the _canonical_uri (isn't that a snazzy name?) or do some html 
embedding in an iframe tag. That is what Tobias' macro is supposed to help 
you with -- putting things into an iframe.

The first approach of course, as Mat noted, is to see if your browser can 
display PDF's in the browser at all. Perhaps navigate from within your 
browser and attempt to open the PDF. If The browser can't open the PDF, 
neither can TW (TW just leverages existing PDF magic -- doesn't make its 
own).

I believe Firefox has its own internal PDF viewer, so it might be a better 
browser to test on. Other browsers need to use a plugin to interface with 
an external PDF viewer like Acroread. Or at least that is my (probably 
broken) understanding.

I couldn't get Tobias' PDF macro to work with the address he used (maybe 
because it has to be translated by bit.ly) , but it worked fine with local 
PDFs which is your use-case and the situation you would have using local 
dropbox files. Even though they're synched by dropbox, they're really just 
local files.

So you would type into the body of a tiddler something like:

<<pdf "../Images/MyPDF.pdf">>

Good luck!
