Displaying a pdf in-slide Dec 19, 2017 By Sam Carter What is the best way to display and scroll a pdf in the slide without opening a new window? A technique that works will in both Flash and HTML5 is critical. Sam

Chrome/HTML5 displays the same but expands the size of the pdf so only the left 60% of the document is visible. Sam

Yep. It may take more than one image, but just create a scrolling panel and
