Apache need to bypass .PDF files in here

Question

Ok, I'm not fluent in Apache...

I have a .htaccess file setup like so:

<Files *>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost
</Files>

RemoveHandler .php .php3 .phtml .cgi .fcgi .pl .fpl .shtml

The Problem is I am needing to use .pdf files to link to a URL like so within this directory:

<iframe name="FRAME2" src="http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=URLTOFILE.pdf&amp;reqTime=1271316295&amp;embedded=true" width="500" height="280" frameborder="1"></iframe>

So the PDF file never gets displayed/embedded as it should within the page. If I remove all lines from the .htaccess file it WORKS PERFECTLY. However, I'm guessing that that is in there for security reasons. So, is there anyway to bypass PDF files only, so that they are allowed from ALL or a way to allow it only for the google URL in here?

Please help...arggg

And before anyone asks, "URLTOFILE.pdf" is actually pointing to a VALID PDF file on my server within the same folder that the .htaccess file is located in.

Thanks :)

Answer 1

<Files *.PDF>
    Order Allow, Deny
    Allow from all
</Files>


<Files *>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost
</Files>

These directive apply in the order they are specified. So, first, allow access to PDF files, and then deny everything not caught.
