Hi!

I'm having trouble getting PDF files viewed in a Shadowbox iFrame. I've checked the pdf checkbox in admin/settings/shadowbox, but no luck.

I've tested in the newest versions of Firefox and Safari.

PDF support depends on a browser plugin being available. It's not really recommended as I think only Safari comes with one built-in.

Okay, I am having a little bit of trouble figuring something out. I can have the shadowbox open a PDF without issue. When I go to view source I see that instead of being just an iframe, it is actually an iframe with an embed in it. I can't, for the life of me, figure out where the embed gets created from. The reason it is important is because I would like to restrict the toolbars that are shown to the user and make the PDF display at 100% width, which I believe can be achieved by passing in a query string to the embedded PDF src.

Any help would be appreciated.

PDF support in browsers uses a browser plugin. I think the only thing you can do is send a width/height to Shadowbox via the JSON parameters.
