jquery load pdf file with .load()

Question

can we load PDF file with jquery .load

Thanks

Answer 1

I don't think that you can load it into the page, but you could probably load it in to an iframe. You would use src attribute of the iframe rather than load().

Answer 2

What's the point? When I want to show a PDF, I simply redirect to it and it launches in Reader. I think this is the behavior any user would expect.

Answer 3

You can load it, yes, it's just an http request like any other. But you can't be sure of how it will look / how it will load, because browsers (and their users) configure PDF reading on the web in different ways!
