I've already warned them that a PDF embedded into a page is impossible. That may not be true, technically, for all I know, but I've sure never seen it, and don't even want to try to go somewhere that so few have gone.

I would expect that putting the PDF in an <iframe> would work, but I wouldn't trust browsers or the Acrobat plugin to not crash horribly in that sort of situation. It's also going to be very confusing for users seeing the Acrobat toolbar floating in the middle of their page. It would be interesting to see some tests of PDF-in-<iframe> done in various different browsers, but unless it just happened to work perfectly in every common browser (we can all dream, can't we?) I wouldn't touch it. Jasper
