[support] accept pdf's as images?

[Metzler, David]

Yes that's true.  Remember that PDF's aren't renderable by any web
browser software.  They load acrobat reader to display, so it's not like
you can embed a pdf as an image in a browser window.  I'f you're doing
images, you really should save them as jpg or gif files. 

So no, you can't load all other types of images into  a web page, but
only jpeg and gif images. 

Alternatively you can enable the upload module and upload an entire pdf
document as an attachment to a node, but that still won't intermingle
html with pdf.

hmm, well i'd like to be able to 'create content - images' and then
upload a pdf file. i'd also in our wysiwyg editor be able to embed a pdf
as an image. maybe it does run up against the limites of browsers?

right now what i do is convert every pdf to a jpg.


thanks
