I’ve got a iframe with pdf file:

<iframe src="pdf/sample.pdf"></iframe>

How to set that the iframe is the same height as the pdf file, without scrollbars?

    If you want to display the PDF without scrollbars, you can do this by passing parameters in the URL. Adobe has documented this here:
    http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf

    Try this:

    <iframe src="pdf/sample.pdf#view=fit"></iframe>

    You are not exactly setting the height of the iframe to fit the PDF, but it is probably the most robust solution since it is browser-independent and doesn’t require JavaScript.

    Here is an update after Daniel’s comment.

    I created a test HTML as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
   <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
   <iframe src="http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf#view=fit&toolbar=0&navpanes=0"
      width="300px" height="400px"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

    This is how it looks in Chrome:

    enter image description here

    This is as expected.

    Note that I also turned off the toolbar and the navpane so there is room for the page.
