Testing browser support for embedding PDFs
by Jonah Winters
I'm testing two methods. In the 1990s I used just the <embed> tag. It was not standards-compliant, having been introduced by Netscape, but a decade ago it had the best support across browsers. The "correct" way is using the <object> tag, which hopefully works better for everyone now. Since I'll be posting many hundreds of PDFs over the next couple years, I want to get it right, even if it means re-doing a hundred old documents. :-) Please post your feedback to the forum or email me at jonahwinters(at)gmail.com and tell me what worked best for you, and what kind of device you're running and what browser you used. Thanks!
Example 1: <object> tag -- the newer, probably better, method. Does it work for you?
Example 2: <embed> tag -- this is what worked best 10 years ago. Does it work for you?
