That's not a problem with this, just most browsers set set to hide insecure content on when browsing secure pages. Whether it was an image or PDF or video, if it isn't from an htps source it won't display.

There's nothing int he code that forces http. If your provide an https link to a PDF no reason it wouldn't work.

<div align="center">
<p align="center">
<embed src="{param}" type="application/pdf" width="700" height="900">
<br />
<a href="{param}">Click here to view or download the file directly.</a>
<br />
</embed>
</p></div>

However not every site supports https so you're limiting the content you can embed, but it's the same limitation you always had.

When you use the code you can leave the http off the URL and instead of:

[pdf]http://www.qapla.com/ju/PDFOpenParameters.pdf[/pdf]

use

[pdf]//www.qapla.com/ju/PDFOpenParameters.pdf[/pdf]

That will automatically fill in the http or https depending on what the page is using at the time it is viewed, the only problem is not all content is accessible via both an http and https link so some things may work one way but not the other.
