 * Hi,
    I have tried using [embed width="500"]http://example.com/path-to-file.pdf[/
   embed] I have dropped width to 200 but it is still the same size in the post 
   and the right side is cut off and the “page” of the pdf extends past the normal
   post margin. Any help please
 * Clive

 * Which version of WordPress are you using? Also, are you specifying a height as
   well, or just the width?
 * Changing the “width” parameter in the embed tag works for me in WordPress 3.5.1.
 * Peace…

 * Thanks tomdkat,
 * I revisited it to answer your question and realised that whilst the visual tab
   was as above, the text tab was[embed [code]width="500"[/code]]... not sure why
   but I removed the "code" tags and now it works fine.
 * I am using 3.5.1 by the way
 * Regards
