 * It’s not natively possible, but you can probably use another plugin to provide
   the lightbox and put the GDE shortcode into it.
 * I hope to add alternative options like this to GDE 3.0, after the 2.5 beta cycle
   is finished.

 * Yesterday I was searching for plugin to open a pdf file for my website, and I’d
   find that you were looking for the same.
    I tried the plugin that I recomended
   to you above, however, I find that this plugin [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/prettyphoto-media/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/prettyphoto-media/)
   it’s so much better an easy to use, just install and add to your link tag **rel
   =”prettyPhoto” **and thats it.
 * This is the web of the original autor, it explains how to add any media file,
   images, youtube, quicktime videos, pdf, iframes, etc…:
