Doesn't Work At All For Me

It is not working on any browser.

I am using an Artisteer generated theme on WP3.7.1.

If I don’t use the [pdf] and [/pdf] shortcodes it shows as a link.

If I do use them it shows “Download the PDF file” on IE11 and FF.

On Chrome it shows grey area where I would expect the PDF to display.

On Safari (IOS7 on iPad) it shows as repeating the whole page inside the block where I would expect the PDF to display.

I would suspect that there is some clash with the theme.

Any ideas?

Many thanks…Peter

What URL have you tried to embed in that page?

The generated HTML is
```
<object class="vanilla-pdf-embed" data="#page=1&view=FitH" type="application/pdf" width="600" height="776">
    <p><a href="">Download the PDF file .</a></p>
</object>
```
obviously the data parameter is incorrect.

Browsers probably interpret that as embedding the current page within itself, which sounds like a bad idea. I wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes?

I have exactly the same issue and results as petermjames.

WP 3.8
The ugliest theme ever! (Not my choice)
It’s also on a secure server so there is no use in publishing a link to it, sorry!

Any help to petermjames will also help me, so thanks in advance.

Don’t include any HTML inside the [pdf] tag — just put the URL itself:
