 * Sorry, by ‘theme’, I should have typed ‘template’. I’m kind of new to WP and 
   the terminology escapes me sometimes.
 * I was originally (when it didn’t work) using one of our templates that has nothing
   on it (no html/head/body tag). That template is supposed to be used for pages
   that are embedded in pages (and so don’t need all those page tags). When I switched
   to a template that actually used get_header(), get_footer() and all that jazz
   to get the html markup from our header.php and footer.php files, the plug-in 
   worked great.
 * So I’m guessing not having the proper page markup hindered the [embed] ability
   to do its job? If you want to look into it further, create a template that has
   absolutely nothing on it (except something displaying the post content), and 
   use that as the template when using the plug in. it just shows up as plain text[
   embed]http://mydomain/files/filename.pdf[/embed]. If you use a template that 
   uses html/head/body, problem solved.

 * Never mind – i switched themes and this fixed it. Thanks!

 * I’m having the same issue. It’s a file ending in “.pdf”, the embed media setting
   is turned on, and the results are: [removed][/removed]
    Any ideas?
