The syntax you want to use would be something like this:

<object data='url/to/file.pdf' type='application/pdf' width='600' height='600'>
    <p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.</p>
</object>

  • Thank you but unfortunately is displayed in same way, just the grey area and i don't know what can be the reason. If i insert wrong path of the PDF it's says that the pdf couldn't be loaded. But if is the right path only the grey color is displayed.

    Sounds like the mime type needs to be added. Check these links out for some help with that. gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/… forumaspnet.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/…

Please use this approach for only allowing PDF, in Powershell

$webapp = Get-SPWebApplication <your webapp url>
$webapp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add("application/pdf")
$webapp.Update()

So you don't have to allow all file types by setting file handeling to permissive

  • Note: If copy/pasting this take care not to use the "Smart Quotes" around the mimetype.

Finally manage to fix the issue.

Central Administration > Manage web applications > click on http://yyy/ then General Settings > scroll down to Browser File Handling and select Permissive

This is not very recommended but i think is best if the mime type doesn't do the thing. However thanks for your time #iOnline247
