Adding a pdf file to a webpage....
Does anybody know how to add a pdf file to a webpage so people can view it from the site?
I don't mean by clicking on the link and downloading it, but I mean, for example Pole Position Magazine the magazine there. You can click on it and turn the pages. Is that some special kind of code or is there a way to important .pdf files into a flash movie, or what? I'm a little confused lol  |

That's a flash script they're using, probably custom

I love using techs like jQuery:
Demo Page: JQuery Media Plugin - Misc Demo Project Page: Media Plugin | jQuery Plugins You could also look at other Java type stuff, AJAX is rather cool too. Looking at that site though, as mentioned it looks flash and possibly custom but there are software out there to do similar stuff, below is few links but first I must state I'm not vouch for this software so please Google reviews for them if you decide to use them.

Apart from a couple of file viewers we use in document storage systems (000's$) Flash Paper from Adobe is well worth it.
Re-save your pdf etc. as a flash object and then embed/reference it. The other nice thing with flash paper is that you can control far better how it displays/control;s/prints etc.
