In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Height is too shortI’ve released v0.0.6, which sets a default height of 500em. I would prefer to be able to set a height according to the page size of the document being embedded, but I don’t think that’s possible. This should be enough to make it readable in the common case. Remember, you can always adjust the embed frame’s dimensions with the
widthandheightparameters to the shorttag:[pdf height='200em' width='100em']...[/pdf]Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Update caused errorSorry, that’s my fault. 0.0.5 will be out in a few moments, and will fix this.

In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Zoom or magnify setting?There’s no need to use raw HTML snippets for this. You can specify the frame width with the shortcode:
[pdf width="1px"]PDF URL[/pdf]Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Zoom or magnify setting?Yes, because the plugin doesn’t provide any way for you to set the zoom/scaling. It is currently hardcoded to fit the PDF horizontally in the embed frame. The full width of the PDF should fit inside the frame horizontally. This isn’t supported in Chrome, however.
Again, there is no way to configure it differently. I’d happily accept patches to change that, however.

In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Doesn't Work At All For MeDon’t include any HTML inside the
[pdf]tag — just put the URL itself:[pdf]https://steelwrist.com/extranet/files/2014/02/208037_A.pdf[/pdf]Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Zoom or magnify setting?There is no zoom option, so that won’t have any effect.
PDFs should be scaled to fit in the embedded frame horizontally in most browsers (Chrome doesn’t support that).

In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] "Vanilla PDF Embed" in IE browserForum: Plugins
In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] "Vanilla PDF Embed" in IE browserIt will depend on what the mobile browser supports. I imagine it should be supported, but I haven’t done any testing with mobile browsers yet, so I don’t have any specific information for you.

In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] "Vanilla PDF Embed" in IE browserSome browsers don’t suppoert embedding PDFs, unfortunately. IE might require the Adobe plugin, for example.

In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Mobile ResponsiveSorry, I’m not sure I understand the problem you’re describing. In any event, I don’t have any Apple devices to test with. I happily accept patches if you figure out how to fix the problem.

In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Download the PDF file.Can you show me more precisely what you’re doing, what HTML it produces, a screenshot of how it appears in your browser, and which browser you’re using to view the page?

In reply to: [Vanilla PDF Embed] Fit width in embedded box??You can do the following:
[pdf width="100%"]...[/pdf]to set the width of the embed itself. But, you cannot currently change the zoom at which the PDF itself is embedded inside that frame. It should fit the horizontal width, but some browsers (notable Chrome) don’t respect that.
