hihi, i've also worked quite a bit with generating PDF documents (iText, JasperReports via iReport) so i know Acrobat pains too. (yes Acrobat is very moody, it works one day then not the next, and only for ppl it likes) :)
i went to that website: http://www.sos.state.co.us/biz but couldn't find a working example of a PDF document displayed embedded *within* an html page. that is, the Acrobat plugin window occupying a sub portion of the entire displayed html page. is this not what the original post was about? or did i simply not find the working example on the website? (i went to the "File a document" section and brought up the PDFs on the subsequent page but they all 'took over' the entire browser window) it would be awesome to see a PDF embedded in an html page without using frames. woodchuck --- "Frank W.
