    RE: Document PDF can not display in IE Iframe

    Hi,

    Thank you Scott for your reply.

    Maybe my post wasnt clear enough cause of my english.

    in fact I'm using SharePoint Document and I agree on Chrome and Firefox because they include a builtin PDF-viewer running in a secure sandbox  But not IE.

    I checked the PDF module in IE options and it's enable I don't know what can I check more.

    if you have any idea how to fixe this it will be really nice.

    Best Regards.

    Hi,

    If you are simply trying to put the url of the IFRAME pointing at the PDF then this won't be reliable on all browsers since there is a different implementation for each. Chrome has a built in plugin to show pdfs - but IE doesn't - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12974115/how-to-open-a-pdf-file-in-an-iframe

    You are better off using SharePoint to view the documents.

    Hope this answers your question
