BB Code Enhancements - BBCode: Embed PDF Files (No JavaScript/No iFrames) (BB Code)

This is <embed> BB Code to embed a PDF file into your forum. The user needs a compatible PDF Reader such as Adobe's free PDF Reader. If they don't have one they will still see a link to view the PDF directly.

I am aware <embed> is not "proper" HTML but it works fine in all major browsers (IE/FF/Chrome/Opera/Safari) while <object> was not working for me in IE. If you prefer to keep to strict HTML guidelines and don't care about IE users then simply change the two instances of "embed" in the replacement code to "object".

This has been confirmed working in the latest releases of IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, and Opera.

I am also aware there are at least 2 other PDF BB Codes out there... I believe this implementation is better because one of them uses JavaScript and another uses an iFrame and relies on a 3rd party website (google) to display the PDF. My implementation uses no JavaScript and does not reply on any other websites.

Add a new BBCode

Title: Embed PDF
BB Code Tag Name: pdf
Replacement:

<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>

Example: [pdf]http://www.qapla.com/ju/PDFOpenParameters.pdf[/pdf]
(I suggest using your own example if possible.)
Use Option: No
Button Image: (optional)
Remove Tag If Empty: Yes
All Disable Options: Yes

Overall this tag acts a lot like the built in [img] tags.

Please mark as installed if you use this.

Check My Profile for other BB Code enhancements. They work on all versions.

Please try again because developers are able to see who has it marked and who doesn't, and it's not showing up for you.

As I requested before I need the exact code you are using that isn't working.

please try agin..

PHP Code:

<object type="application/pdf" classid="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000" data="{param}" width="800" height="900"><param name="src" value="{param}"><embed src="{param}" width="800" height="900" /></object>

HDMI, I don't understand you post... "please try agin.." ???????

[HDMI]

PHP Code:

<object type="application/pdf" classid="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000" data="{param}" width="800" height="900"><param name="src" value="{param}"><embed src="{param}" width="800" height="900" /></object> 


I meant to say ;
I recommend above code to enter instead of the code which is in the first message.
(For the version 4.1.11)
I hope this would be helpful.

Have a good work ...

Your code has a useless "classid" parameter... you should at least remove that from the code-

Your also missing the "type" from the <embed>

<object type="application/pdf" data="{param}" width="800" height="900">
<param name="src" value="{param}" />
<embed src="{param}" width="800" height="900" type="application/pdf" />
</object>

Not tested but that would be the appropriate code using both <object> and <embed>.

I am using Firefox and 4.1.12, the mod is working just great except that I can only scroll the pdf, the thread will not scroll wherever I try and click on the page.

Is there anything I can do about this.

I went to your demo page but can only see a list of BB codes and not a pdf.

[BirdOPrey5]

Fixed demo link- but there is no way to solve the scrolling issue. That's the same on all browsers.

Ok, thanks for letting me know.
