Ask HN: SaaS solution to provide easy and nice PDF embedding in a web page?

6 pointsby andrea_sabout 10 years ago
I&#x27;m somewhat disappointed by the ways I&#x27;ve found to embed a PDF in a web page for user interaction... My main gripe at the moment is with Chrome, as it appears the Chrome PDF reader does not correctly implement the PDF Open parameters (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;chromium&#x2F;issues&#x2F;detail?id=64309).<p>So, my question: is there any friendly, use-and-forget service out there where I can just upload the PDF, easily embed it into my website and have the same interface cross-browser for interacting with the PDF, as well as the possibility to open it with &quot;fit width&quot;?

The Firefox PDF viewer (pdf.js) can be used in any browser from any website. <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mozilla&#x2F;pdf.js</a><p>See a demo: <a href="http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mozilla.github.io&#x2F;pdf.js&#x2F;web&#x2F;viewer.html</a>

pdf.js is where all the work goes these days - <a href="http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mozilla.github.io&#x2F;pdf.js&#x2F;</a><p>I haven&#x27;t used it for a couple of years but is was pretty good back then and playing with the demo now it seems very slick. I&#x27;d start there if I were you (maybe there&#x27;s a hosted service using it).

Shameless plug, GroupDocs Cloud Viewer API should support what you require, there&#x27;s a 14 day trial to allow you to try it out, I work for GroupDocs.
