how to open a .PDF document in same window ?

I need help, I have a .PDF document and when a user clicks the link, I want it to open in the same window, not a new browser window, it shouldn't use the whole browser window, only specific width and height. Anyone know a code or something...

Appreciate it !

upload it to scribd.com and embed it to your site

 

You can use iframe to open the pdf file, when mouse click set src of iframe to pdf file.

 

Can you give me a code ?

 

It would be something like bellow:

<iframe id="myFrame" style="display:none" width="500" height="300"></iframe>

<input type="button" value="Open PDF" onclick = "openPdf()"/>

<script type="text/javascript">
  function openPdf()
  {
     var omyFrame = document.getElementById("myFrame");
     omyFrame.style.display="block";
     omyFrame.src = "myFile.pdf";
  }
</script>

^^ Simple, yet effective.

 

Use iframe it can be a good alternative.

 

Just make sure there's an option to download the PDF instead of forcing the crappy browser UI to try and get around it. There's a REASON I disable the PDF plugin for browsers as PDF's opening in a browser just pisses me off as a user.

That said, sounds like you want an OBJECT tag, or if you give a flying purple fish about "standards" use an iframe.

 

I have Use iframe it will give you results as per you need
