When I use this bb code it will work in the test block below bb code manager but it doesn't work in a post. I get a black block.
Also the Click here to view or download the file directly dose not work.

how to make it work for mediafire
http://www.mediafire.com/view/d03dsz...Episode_10.pdf
??

Unless you have a direct link to the PDF file, you can't. The embed code is looking for an actual PDF file. Not a web page URL that happens to end in .pdf, but instead has a PDF embeded in it.

never mind, i figure out how to do for box.com

I have changed the bbcode so that users that see a blank pdf will have a link to click to view the file.

-----IF THE PDF IS BLANK CLICK HERE TO VIEW.-----

~~ok my bbcode settings are now as below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title = embed_pdf
BB Code Tag Name = pdf
Replacement =
<div align="center">
<p align="center">
<p><a href="{param}">---------------IF THE PDF IS BLANK CLICK HERE TO VIEW.--------------- </a></p>
<br />
<object type="application/pdf" data="{param}" width="800" height="900">
<param name="src" value="{param}" />
<embed src="{param}" type="application/pdf" width="800" height="900">
<p><a href="{param}">Click here to view or download the file directly.</a></p>
</object><br />
</embed>
</p></div>

Example = [pdf]http://www.baymeadowscommunitycouncil.net/pdf/visionplan.pdf[/pdf]
Description = Allows you to embed a pdf file.
Use {option} = Yes

Remove Tag If Empty = Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code = Yes
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code = Yes

Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code = Yes
Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code = Yes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This seems to work for now until a better solution is found.
Anyone that sees a problem with this please let me know and show me a better way of doing this.
Thanks

Working with 4.2.0. Marked as installed, thanks!

don't work with mediafire...

Hey Joe, your pfd bbcode was working great on a vb4 site before it was changed to https.
Any idea what would cause it to stop functioning?
The acp is not https and the pdf bbcode example works fine there, thoughts?
