I have been trying to display PDF inside iFrame, it works well for all other browsers and platforms but not working with iOS. When I tried to access in chrome/Safari in iPhone/iPad, it shows the first page BUT does not allow to scroll down the PDF. And when it comes to HTML inside iFrame, it works perfectly, per my observation it looks like issue is with PDF inside iFrame on iOS. Tried all the links provided on various websites, overflow-auto, webkit scrolling, scrolling only y axis, position absolute/relative increasing the height which results in white pages and all other possible solutions, but no luck yet. The language of implementation is ASP.NET-C# where I am setting the iFrame source dynamically. Below is the source through which I am trying to achieve above task.
<div id="wrapper" class="Sales-container container">
<iframe runat="server" id="Contents" class="myiframe" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" />
</div>
.Sales-container{position:absolute !important;width:100%}
.container{margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;padding-left:7px;padding-right:8px}
.myiframe{z-index:0;white-space:nowrap}
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
If you don't need https, you can use the google docs viewer
make the src http://docs.google.com/gview?url=YOURADDRESSHERE&embedded=true
If that won't work for you, I'm currently looking into pdf.js

At the moment, I am working on a website that works with Wordpress and Elementor (latest versions). I'm trying to implement an iframe using an html widget in the Elementor editor. The iframe works via an external website link (of a client) and I would like the iframe to automatically adjust in height to the content of the iframe. However, I am currently not getting this to work with the code below. In the Elementor editor itself it looks good, but on the website itself it is barely visible (due to the limited height) and it does not work. I have tried the following codes as well: height="auto", height="100%", but they didn't work either.
Does anyone know how I can fix this, please? I did try some solutions on other topics, but these didn't work either (and I'm not that good at coding). That's why I created a new topic.
The code used:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/iframe-resizer/4.2.11/iframeResizer.min.js"></script><script
type="text/javascript">iFrameResize({ inPageLinks: true },
'#externallinkname')</script><iframe id="externallinkname"
src="https:// externallink.com/"
width="100%" scrolling="no"></iframe>
- Note: The names of the following codes are changed, due clients privacy: #externallinkname, id="externallinkname", src="https:// externallink.com/"
I need to embed a PDF file in an HTML page for the users to see it on every major device.
Most of the approaches work fine on desktop but they start to show problems on iPad devices. The PDFs are no longer scrollable if placed inside an iframe or embed tag.
I used the following techniques to overcome the problem:
1) Using pdf-image for node and converting the PDF to images and then sliding them in a div.
The problem in this approach is that the image quality gets degraded and is not suitable for viewing on Web.
2) Using PDF.js by Mozilla
It works fine on every device but it makes the page extremely slow and unresponsive on iPad
3) Using Google PDF viewer
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://public-Url-of-pdf.pdf&embedded=true" frameborder="0" height="500px" width="100%"></iframe>
The problem with this approach is that I need to make my PDFs publicly available which I don't want to do for security reasons.
None of the above method is working for me. Is there any solution available to embed PDF in a page which works on iPad also.
One of my colleagues told me about using LibreOffice(open office) headless to embed PDFs in my page but I cannot find any documentation about it usage?
Can anyone please help? :(
Thanks in advance!
<embed src="http://example.com/the.pdf" width="500" height="375" />
Try above one for pure HTML. But another option is if you'd like to use with javascript, try Pdf.js by mozilla. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js
I think the simplest way to embed a PDF into a web page is to use the object tag:
<object data="assets/test.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="800px">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.
No biggie... you can <a href="assets/test.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a></p>
</object>
What the code above will do is:
- If the user browsing your site has a PDF viewer plugin (which is included by default in some browsers) it will open the PDF in the browser:
- If the user does not have a PDF viewer plugin, they will be presented with a link to download the PDF and view it on their site.
I spent a lot of time with this issue and finally reached a solution for embeeding PDFs in a HTML files, also inspired by this post. You mentioned that "converting the PDF to images and then sliding them in a div" was not satisfactory due to quality problems. Here I experienced the same since the images were blurry.
However, I tried converting the images to SVG instead of PNG and the situation was a different one: The fonts were crystal-clear when embedding the image like below:
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="https://ik.imagekit.io/nudvztcu8my/pdf2svg_example_Ft2FQgqWaG.svg">
<!-- Your fall back here -->
<img src="https://ik.imagekit.io/nudvztcu8my/pdf2svg_example_Ft2FQgqWaG.svg" />
</object>
You can directly paste that snippet into a HTML file and you will see the result. For producing this example I used a ramdom PDF from ArXiv.org and converted it to SVG using an online converter.
There are also free command line tools like pdf2svg or commerical APIs like Aspose and probably it is worth examining which approach gives the best results.
You can easily build a slider which is loading the SVG images dynamically and it is even possible to scale them to different viewports due to the vector character of the SVG images. The approach so far worked for all PDFs I tried but probably it is recommendable to implement a fallback solution still using PNGs.
I am attempting to make my website use TLS / https. This problem occurs only on the https version and not the older http version of the website.
I have a link on my website which when clicked reveals an iframe on top of the rest of the website content.
The link looks like this:
Speed Check
It reveals this div (slightly modified to remove my actual URL)
<div id="speedtestmodal" class="reveal-modal tiny open" data-reveal="" role="dialog" style="display: block; opacity: 1; visibility: visible; top: 1130px;" area-hidden="true">
<iframe width="620" height="420" style="visibility:;" id="example" src="https://page.domain.com" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>
This works and the iframe and expected content is visible, the problem I have is that the page in the iframe contains a text box which the user should fill in. This behaves as expected in Firefox but in Chrome or IE attempting to click into the text box closes the entire Iframe.
The website is beta.domain.com and the iframe is page.domain.com so I thought the problem may be related to cross domain JS calls, to try and get around this I added the following to the head on both websites (as described at http://madskristensen.net/post/iframe-cross-domain-javascript-calls):
<script type="text/javascript">
document.domain ='domain.com';
</script>
But it has made no difference. Is there something that I'm missing here?
Is there any more information that I can provide to help debug this?
It turned out the problem was CSS related and it was only working in firefox due to a bug in the browser.
The Z-index value of the modal was causing it to be hidden behind another semi-transparent modal which is part of a separate function of the website.
I have been trying to add a javascript map to my wordpress site and for some reason the iframe is not respecting the height attribute I set.
I've tried it using < iframe > tags and even with a plug in short code. Both lines can be seen here:
<iframe src="https://www.shiftins.com/county/index.html" width="100%" height="900" scrolling="no"></iframe>
[iframe src="https://www.shiftins.com/county/index.html" width="100%" height="600"]
And can be viewed live on this page: https://www.shiftins.com/test-page-1/
I have iframes running on other parts of my site and they work properly. How can I fix this issue?
BTW I have tried !Important and still no luck.
On your live site the height of the iframe is set in the style with "height:150px" :
if you remove this from your css it will work like a charm :
I'm trying to figure out why my images aren't displaying properly within my iframe. Every browser works fine with the exception of Firefox and Safari. I can still click the links within the iframe and open up the corresponding page, but the images just won't display. I am using the instansive instagram widget as my iframe content (instansive.com). Their code looks like this - >
<!-- INSTANSIVE WIDGET --><script src="//instansive.com/widget/js/instansive.js"></script><iframe src="//instansive.com/widgets/427ad0d8ae95cfc36f19bb10c960dbf03bbef870.html" id="instansive_427ad0d8ae" name="instansive_427ad0d8ae" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" class="instansive-widget" style="width: 100%; border: 0; overflow: hidden;"></iframe>
I'm not sure as to what I am doing wrong, or why it isn't displaying correctly with these two particular browsers.
There is nothing to do with iframe. Try giving the image path as /test/image.jpg instead of full path. This may work
