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 -- will

Don't quite understand the question, are you talking about uploading attachments to a node, or actually embedding a pdf using an img tag? If so, does that even work in a web browser?

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.
