I am working to show in my view a PDF that comes as a URL. To do that I am using object tag. But my problem is that the PDF does not show.
This is my code, to start I hardcoded to test the behaviour in my view:
form id="EditRecurso" method="post" action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data"> @Html.AntiForgeryToken() @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Please fix the following errors.") <div class="container"> <div class="form-group"> @Html.LabelFor(c => c.Titulo) @Html.TextBoxFor(c => c.Titulo, new { @class = "form-control" }) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Titulo) </div> <div class="form-group"> @Html.LabelFor(c => c.Descripcion) @Html.TextAreaFor(c => c.Descripcion, new { @class = "form-control" }) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Descripcion) </div> //show here the pdf --> <object data="https://www.salisbury.edu/helpdesk/doc/Computer/Operating_System_Bios_Boot/OS_Windows7ProductGuide.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="600" height="300"></object> <div class="form-group"> @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Url) @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Url, new { type = "file", name = "miRecurso" }) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Url) </div> <button id="submiter" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Listo!</button> </div> And the result in my MVC view is this:
PDF not showing As you can see it never shows the PDF. But the object tag is there.
On the other hand, when I use plain HTML with the same object tag to link a PDF, this is the result:
PDF displayed in html document
<html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <object data="https://www.salisbury.edu/helpdesk/doc/Computer/Operating_System_Bios_Boot/OS_Windows7ProductGuide.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="600" height="300"></object> </body> </html> Any Idea what I am doing wrong and how I can fix it?
