           Summary: Embedding of PDF's with < object > or < embed > fails!
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: PDF
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: lvschie at me.com


In Safari 5.1 and the most recent versions of WebKit the embedding of PDF's in the HTML tags OBJECT or EMBED fail (at least under Lion) and display the message "Missing plugin". In earlier versions of Safari (5.0x and lower) this worked like a charm. This is a major issue for us, because our software relies heavily on this and there are not alternatives available for Lion yet (Acrobat PDF plugin not supported onder OS X 10.7 Lion). It seems that the embedded PDF viewer only displays PDF's that are loaded directly into a page correctly, but not those embedded in the OBJECT and/or EMBED tags.

Example of code: 

< object data="file.pdf" width="80%" height="80%" type="application/pdf" >Object embed not supported by this browser < /object >

or:

< embed src="file.pdf" width="80%" height="80%" >< /embed >
