    Ha Rick,

    Fancybox-pdf uses an object embed and fancybox-iframe uses, well obviously, an iframe embed. In both cases it depends on the visitors browser (and if there is a PDF viewer plugin installed) if it is able to display PDF as inline content.

    To get around this problem (which cannot be adressed by FancyBox) you can use a third method which involves fancybox-iframe but linking not directly to the pdf file but to another URL. This URL can be found by visiting https://docs.google.com/viewer and pasting the direct pdf file URL in the form there. Then do not take the converted straight URL but copy the one used in the iframe code (including the &embedded=true) and use this URL for the links on your site.

    Hope that helps 🙂
