I forget to tell it has to be:
"Keep page navigation visible on the same page" = checked

Hmm, PDFs have got to be the most inaccessible way ever invented for publishing a document. You can't have an accessible site AND use PDFs ...

However, we should improve XHTML strict, sure...

On this page http://joliclic.free.fr/html/object-tag/en/object-application.html with firefox 2 on mac os x, none of the plugins display for me, even after I installed Adobe Reader 8.

embedded PDF works on my Firefox 2 and IE 7 (on the page showed by Daniele). However it's quite probable that only a small minority of users will have the latest Adobe plugin installed for their browser.

I do use the PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3 from Manfred Shubert on my MacOS X PPC. I took it from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ and I see PDF correctly.
I was not able (shhhhh don't share this information) to install a PDF plugin (PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3 or Adobe Reader 8) on my MacOS X Intel.

You are right and I agree with you.
There are a lot of issues to talk about but... I don't want to.
Let me close saying, "You are right Martin and I would agree with you."

Embedded PDF now works fine in FF 1.5, FF 2, IE5, IE6, IE7 and Opera, and degrades beautifully in non-supported browsers (or when plugin is missing).

Thank you Nicolas.
> and degrades beautifully in non-supported browsers (or when plugin is missing)
I believe that if browser is not supported or plugin is missing the browser will try to download the PDF.
Is this true?

Important warning:
I just downloaded the file
<?php // $Id: resource.class.php,v 1.62 2007/04/05 05:51:12 nicolasconnault Exp $
and nothing more. I don't know if there are more files to download in order to see your improvement (see: my post in http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=68499)

I tried it and... I can't see the PDF unless I add width="300" height="200" to
<object data="http://daniele-ure.local/%7Edaniele/moodle18/file.php/2/sitoISS.pdf" type="application/pdf">
I feel that width and height are necessary! otherwise people can't see embedded pdfs.

To summarize:
What I have is this
<div class="resourcepdf">
<object data="http://daniele-ure.local/%7Edaniele/moodle18/file.php/2/sitoISS.pdf" type="application/pdf">
[[clicktoopen]]
<a href="http://daniele-ure.local/%7Edaniele/moodle18/file.php/2/sitoISS.pdf"> PDF </a>
</object>
</div>
<div class="box generalbox generalboxcontent boxaligncenter">
<p> PDF </p>
</div>
and doesn't work.

If I change it to
<div class="resourcepdf">
<object data="http://daniele-ure.local/%7Edaniele/moodle18/file.php/2/sitoISS.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="300" height="200">
[[clicktoopen]]
<a href="http://daniele-ure.local/%7Edaniele/moodle18/file.php/2/sitoISS.pdf"> PDF </a>
</object>
</div>
<div class="box generalbox generalboxcontent boxaligncenter">
<p> PDF </p>
</div>
it works

Please check the version control tab, you will see that there is a css file you need to update as well. We always try to avoid hard-coding visual elements in php files.

No it will just display a link to the file. That is the correct behaviour, because the resource is set to open up in the same window, keeping the navigation.

> Please check the version control tab
in the cvs web page?
in the plug in?
Please, let me uderstand...
TIA

I don't know what the "version control tab" is
but I found the update in the standard layout.css and I applied it.
It works greatly. Congratulation Nicolas.

Ok Nicolas

I now understand what you wrote.
Thank you. It is simple but I didn't know.
Thank you to everybody.
