Question

Embedding Foxit PDF Reader into a webpage

Answer 1

A:

Foxit Reader itself doesn't include any embeddable components; they have Foxit Reader ActiveX for this purpose, which is a paid component distributed separately from the Reader. For example, the Standard ActiveX version can be embedded into a web page in the following way:

<script type="text/javascript"">
function openFile() {
    document.getElementById("foxitReader").OpenFile("foo.pdf", "");
}
</script>

<body onload="openFile()">
    <object id="foxitReader"
        classid="clsid:DB2189DF-ABF4-445A-A4E5-BF32F2CEA4D9"
        width="800" height="600">
    <p>You must install Foxit Reader ActiveX to view this PDF file.</p>
    </object>
</body>

(I'm not a web developer, so this code may be far from perfect, but it should help you get the idea.)

If using Foxit Reader ActiveX is not an option for you, take a look at this question which discusses other possible ways of displaying PDF content.
