Couldn't you take a screen shot of it then turn it in to a gif, jpg or a pgn then embed it? Otherwise it is a file and your would have to upload it, but maybe I am wrong and somebody brighter will respond
Download the plugin smartfiles
for *blogs & *pages embeds ?
Started doodling with some code for such a feature..
came up this ->
the special tags are @PDF and @VID and they should trigger a dynamically
generated IFRAME or DIV as container for the external EMBED objects.
This idea came to mind from researching the open source cutting-edge for video embed API specifications.
Wondering of a new PlugIn "DDS-Video" is in the making" ?;-)
@Tahoe Billy, thanks for the suggesting. i'm downloading that plugin now. @DhrupDeScoop, yes i'm trying to do it for blogs and page embeds.
are there any 1.8 plugins for .pdf files?
@rohonupe99 You can update the smartfiles plugin to elgg 1.8, it is not that hard

if i knew how to do that rj, i wouldn't have asked the question.
Is it that difficult to embed PDFs into a web page ??
@Dhrup that's how I do it too =)
Just the simple will do the trick(according to google). Of course you will need to filter the file type (MIME Type?) to avoid conflicts.
