How Do I Get Adobe Acrobat Files To Open In a Frame On My Web Site?

Lovejoy · Dec 12, 2001

Currently, I use many Adobe Acrobat files on my web site. They are attached via a link to the file. When they open, a new full Adobe Acrobat viewer screen appears. I would like them to open within a frame on my web site so that people can continue navigating on the site without having to click the "back" button to go back to the web site.

Any ideas?

I use a standard framepage setup. Contents "menu" frame on the left; data "main" frame on the right. In the contents frame I have this in between the head tags.

<head>
<base target="main">
</head>

In the body a standard hyperlink.
<a href="RefiningSurvey.pdf">Refining Survey</a>
User clicks the pdf link, and the pdf file opens in the "main" frame on the right.
