Embedding PDF files with the Content Editor Web Part #SP2010 #SP2013 #MSProject
Whilst working on a proof of concept for a knowledge portal. We had the need to embed PDF documents into a web page and do some fancy jiggery pokery ™ around expanding the PDF view to full screen dynamically etc..
Anyway, along my travels I came across the query string API when referencing PDF documents for embedding purposes and figured it might useful for others as well. So without further ado…

File Download: PDF Open Parameters
Just for my own reference:
After the file name start with a #, then each parameter uses an &.
My Personal Example:
Code Example:
To demonstrate this, I added a Content Editor Web Part with some code to show the PDF file inside an iFrame.
For the purposes of my client who wanted to see if the PDF would scale if we resized the screen, I then wrapped some jQuery around it to resize the div and iFrame.
