PDF embed not working in IE11, but it WORKS when edit the HTML in DOM Explorer (F12 - debug tool of IE)

I was now able to embed the PDF file IE using "<iframe>" tag.

I replaced "<object>" and "<embed>" tag with <iframe> and its working fine now with all 3 browsers, Firefox, Chrome and IE.

There are 2 ways of embedding PDF in IE.

1st way: Call PDF directly in <iframe>

Below is the updated code:

<div id="pdf">
   <iframe src="https://www.adobe.com/products/pdfjobready/pdfs/pdftraag.pdf" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
        <p>It appears your web browser doesn't support iframes.</p>
   </iframe>
</div>

2nd way: if the browser doesn't have PDF reader the u can call an HTML in page <iframe> which contains <object> tag .

Below is the code for 2nd option

    <div id="pdf">
          <iframe src="pdf.html" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
               <p>It appears your web browser doesn't support iframes.</p>
          </iframe>
   </div>

Code for "pdf.html"

<body>
    <object data="lorem.pdf" type="application/pdf">
        <p>It appears you don't have Adobe Reader or PDF support in this web browser. <a href="lorem.pdf">Click here to download the PDF</a>. Or <a href="http://get.adobe.com/reader/" target="_blank">click here to install Adobe Reader</a>.</p>
       <embed src="lorem.pdf" type="application/pdf" />
    </object>
</body>

This worked for me!!!

Here is the WORKING Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/Z99gr/9/

Hope it will be helpful for others in future!
