I have a large PDF and I need to show it 50% reduced in size inside a div tag that is 600px 600px in size. I also need to offer the client a zoom function.
Should I use the “object” tag? But can I reduce the pdf size inside an “object”?
Is there a jquery example or anything out there?
Need help.
No. PDFs cannot be displayed in a DIV, as they’re not html or an image. You can convert the PDF to html/images on the server and display that, just like google’s “quick view” function does. But in general, PDF rendering in-browser is dependent on the presence of a plugin (e.g. Adobe Reader, Chrome’s built-in rendering engine notwithstanding). Plugins can’t be displayed in divs, just embed/object/iframe sections.
