I've embedded a 10 page PDF in a slide as a Web Object. However, the PDF will not scroll past the first page, and the page has grey space above and below the page itself. Here is my index.html: <html><embed src="2016_DDoS_Attack-Trends.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%" /></html> I found that if I show the Adobe Reader Toolbar I can scroll through the PDF using the Show Next Page button, but that's non-intuitive. I also need to get rid of the grey space above and below the PDF content. Thanks for your help.

FYI - A PDF embedded as a web object does not scroll in Safari. Works fine using Google Chrome and Firefox.

Hi Bob, Thanks for your post. I'm not sure I've seen this happen before, so I'm glad you reached out. Where is the PDF document stored--on a web server? Do you have a link you can share with me?

At the moment I've been sandboxing, so it's all on my computer. I've found that running the HTML5 version with the player set to fill browser window fixes this.Thank you very much for your reply.

Glad you got it sorted, Bob. Best of luck, and let us know if you run into any more snags along the way!

Thanks, Cristina. A good thing for others to keep in mind!

Embedded Web Object PDF not scrolling

Has there been any progress on solutions for the Safari/PDF especially on iPad scrolling issue? Our courses have a ton of PDFs and this sort of locks us out of the mobile market.

Thanks!

  Hi Jake!
  
  Thanks for checking in! We are continuing to monitor the impact of this bug where you can't scroll through a PDF embedded in a web object. To help you plan, we've prioritized other bug fixes for the upcoming releases and this hasn't made it on the roadmap yet. I'll be sure to update this discussion when it is slated for an upcoming release.

    Hello, any progress with this bug? I've just noticed that a web objecting containing a Vimeo link doesn't work if embedded within a scrolling panel. When will this be fixed?

Hi, Anthony.

If you are linking to a PDF online, you can add "page=x" (where x is the page number) to the end of the URL.

For example: "www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4"

Let me know if this works!

Is it possible to add a hyperlink to a specific page of a PDF?
