iFrame PDF All Of a Sudden, Not Working?

[Jen]

I have several Clients who have PDFs being displayed via an iFrame, on a new page. All of a sudden, when you access these pages, it just wants to open the PDF with Adobe Reader.

• What's happened?
• Can this please be fixed, or work the way it did in the past?

 

This is a real situation for a Client who has several dozen pages.

Team Ning - - please help.

Thanks in advance,

Jen

 

Update:

I'm using http://www.issuu.com/ for everything now - - my stuff, Clients, and we love it. It's beautiful, and has great functionality. I use the iframe tag, with their code.

i explored adding iFrames in various pages of my site last year.  i got them on discussions, videos and event pages.  Have a look and see if it helps you do what you want.

Hi SweetPotato - I was wondering whether you ever resolved this issue with iframes in Group discussions? I was not able to get an iframe to work in a discussion thread. Thank you! 

[SweetPotato]

I think I gave up trying to be honest. Sorry

Saw some additional discussion here fyi.

I'm sort of getting excited here...

So, let me get this straight....I can embed a PDF file onto a new page and members can visit the page and read it??

This sounds too good to be true.  LOL

My issue is that I have some very LARGE PDF files that exceed the 5MB limit Ning allows to be uploaded. So, could I embed these large files onto a page?

Is there a help discussion that will walk me through this somewhere?
