That's why one needs to make sure that the user expects, and is aware, that a PDF is going to open down there in that little <iframe/>. I do not see any motivated use for a PDF in this fashion on a normal site, but, in a document versioning system or a CMS, sure, that would be awesome. Otherwise I side with Jochem. This is not an approach that should be used in any normal web page, it should be utilized with care, where it is needed, and the user has to be made aware that when clicking on a specific link, a PDF will be loading. Otherwise, some poor webmaster's going to have to answer to Jochem, and they don't want that. ;) Regards, Torgny
