The simplest way to add/embed a PDF to your site, is to:

1. Add a plugin from the tool box
2. Place it on your page, the way you want
3. Add the PDF file by browsing for it.

That simple!

This will force the pdf to load on the user's machine (popup to view or download).

Put this in filename.php. Call that from WYSIWYG Web Builder (after uploading it).

<?php
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=filename.pdf");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
readfile("filename.pdf");
?>

And then put the filename.pdf in the root of your website. (public_html probably)

This is not correct. It embeds the PDF on the page. I have tested it both with IE, FF, Chrome as well as Nitro PDF Pro & Adobe Acrobat Reader.

May I have the link to the .php file? I don't think it will owrk on index.php files?

Why PHP? There is no PHP file. This is standard HTML file. See the source in the link I gave you.

You need a php file. To see it can be done visit http://www.jebentnietgek.nl and click the button on the right side.

You probably had mistaken that to be a comment on your way in the first post, right? I am sorry. It's a standalone solution for forcing a download or open locally.

Coughs....how to embed a PDF

LOL @BaconFries

The Plugin is by far the easiest way and almost under rated feature, I am not sure what Jerryco was referring, but did not make any sense at all as all the things he mentioned are totally unnecessary and it does not throw any errors that he was mentioning. I am almost sorry why I even started this thread.

lol each to there own thats why...
