Dynamic PDF Within IFrame
I am creating a dynamic PDF using data from an SQL database, creating a FDF file and sending it to the browser. That works find.

My trouble comes when I try to put that content within an <IFRAME> tag. Instead of displaying within the IFrame, it fills the entire browser window.

Has anyone had any luck filling an IFrame with dynamic pdf content? If I use a static .pdf page it works fine, but using FDF, it does not.

My content head that I am using is: header("Content-type: application/vnd.fdf")

Looking forward to your input!

Obvious question: Are you using width=xx height=xx ?

It sounds stupid to ask... but I've learned that a lot of the time, it is these simple things :)

Believe me, I am all too familiar with the "stupid things"! However, in this case, yes, I do have the width and height specified. And like I said earlier, if I just point to the plain .pdf form, it appears in the IFrame just fine; but when I try to populate that .pdf with data it fills the entire browser.

Thanks again thought for the input. All suggestions are appreciated!

Hi,

Just came across this thread. Would you mind sharing how you write the PDF files?

TIA
