There are basically two ways to view PDF documents online. One is to embed the document the other to link to the document.
Here's the difference: |
When you embed a pdf document it becomes one of the "Objects" within your actual html web page. Unfortunately though embeding pdf documents into a html page often results in unstable web pages that many users won't be able to open at all.
On the other hand when you simply link to a pdf document the visitor can usually view the document simply by clicking on the link.
This causes the browser to open the pdf document as a new page (if the visitor has the appropriate pdf reader installed. they also have the option of downloading it as well.
I would recommend using the second method as my experience has shown that embed pdf usualy cause a LOT more trouble than they are worth.
