Display PDF files inline (in an iframe)

[rugk]

Similar to displaying included image files it would also be nice to display PDF files directly.

Usually you would just need to create an iframe where the PDF file is loaded. Modern browsers do the rendering itself (Firefox e.g. uses PDF.js) or display it with browser plugins.

If you do you might of course sandbox the iframe correctly.

Or use pdf.js for every one and add a download button for then pdf.js do not render well ?

édith: it's what owncloud do btw

This would also be possible, but I'm not sure whether pdf.js would bloat this too much...
