<object data="data/test.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="300" height="200">
alt : <a href="data/test.pdf">test.pdf</a>
</object>


Save with .shtml extension

works cross browser but IE Mac 5.2.3 Lynx 2.8.5 don't like it.

Hi
Thanks
I tested already this code and worked with Opera, Safari and Chrome but not with FF and IE8.
I will change the extension for .shtml and test.

I want to display a pdf file that has internal bookmarks to other files. When I view the pdf file directly using Acrobat Reader, the bookmark links work properly. When I view it in IE8 only the first document displays and the bookmark links in that first page do not work. How can I get the bookmark links to work when viewing the pdf file in IE8? Thanks.

Hi John
How do you do the links? Do you insert the complete path? like this: "http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.html"?

try adding #page=53&pagemode=bookmarks to your object statement to specify the start page number and turn on bookmarks.

so <object data="data/test.pdf" type="application/pdf#page=53&pagemode=bookmarks" would change to <object data="data/test.pdf" type="application/pdf"
