I think the iframe and z-index solution will only work if code is added to the navbar template to define its z-index. So that way the navbar popups will be higher then the PDF iframe. That should allow the menus to open over the PDF. It might be worth it to ask over at vBulletin for some help or maybe with some of the big names over here even...

I don't think the navbar template is the issue, to the browser it's all the same web page, it doesn't know if some code is in the navbar template and some code is in showthread or postbit etc... also using this in the navbar is out of the question anyway for obvious reasons.

I put a lot of time searching the web for an answer for this and it always comes back to just not possible because the way plugins are handled by the browser.

OK, I been messing with this over at the forum, and it does seem to have a hang up in FF. I tried IE and works fine. In FF it loads everything just fine, but the scroll will only work on the PDF. No matter where you click on the forum, it doesn't remedy it.

BUT, you can get around it by keeping your bookmarks sidebar open, and after you load a page with a PDF, click the scroll bar on the sidebar, and it fixes things in the browser for some reason. ???? This is very consistent as well, using FF 2.x and 3.x.

Does this sound like something you can remedy for us FF users? Or should we just deal with it and use the back door I found? Not really that much of a pain now that I know how to get around it, but it would be nice if we didn't have to.

Other then that, I gotta say I still like it.

Yeah sorry there's nothing I'm going to be able to do about that unfortunately- I'm pretty much stuck with however the plugin and browser is programmed to behave.

Question... Is there a way with the bb code to block the ability to download the embedded PDF file. Meaning the save button on the toolbar would not show or be whited out?

[BirdOPrey5]

No, not with the BB Code... that is a setting that would have to be made by the software that created the PDF file- I don't know the specifics but I know you can set advanced PDF options in Adobe Acrobat so files are blocked from things live saving, editing, or printing.

I did up the security in my PDF so you can not save it. However, once you embed the PDF with this code the save button becomes active again. So my way around this for my needs is to PW protect the PDF. This requires forum members to enter a PW to view the PDF.

[BirdOPrey5]

Wow that sounds like a serious security flaw... did you by chance confirm if you could actually save the file if you clicked on the button? Maybe it wouldn't actually work?

Nice BB code
