Embedded PDFs

We have PDF Embedder installed on our site and I suspect that allowed me to add the PDF by “inline media”. However, this does not address the error of not seeing the PDFs in Firefox, Chrome or Edge when they are visible in Safari!

Okay, there are two ways to add a “PDF” to a WP page:
– one is to use a plugin like PDF Embedder;
– the second is to simply add inline media and select a PDF from the media library.

I used the second method. In Safari, on the Mac or in Mac IOS on iPhones, the text from the PDF added as inline media to the page is visible and can be edited just like any image file. However, this image does not appear when viewing the page with other browsers such as Firefox, Chrome or Edge.

Using the first method, with a plugin, the PDF appears on the WP page, but looks like a PDF window! It is visible with other browsers.

Aesthetically, the second method produces a cleaner looking page. See the page now where I have used PDF Embedder for the first PDF under the title The Garden. Under the titles The Road to Emmaus, Thomas, The Fish, The Lamb, and Pentecost, the Pdfs were added via inline media. These latter Pdfs are only visible when viewing with Safari!

The question remains – why do the images load correctly in Safari but not with other browsers?

AS you have noticed, I have been editing the page, trying to figure out how to get the PDFs as images (discussed in my previous posting). That’s why are seeing differences under the various headings.

How can I generate an image for a PDF?
