Reader Plugin Layering
-
All, I am trying to simulate an MDI (Multiple Document Interface) in a web page/application using absolutely positioned
elements. It worked wonderfully until I put an into one of the "windows". The reader object wants to always be on top thus not allowing other "windows" to become the "active window" and be on top. I have searched both the web and the Adobe site for paramters like the flash that allows other objects to appear on top without luck. Does anyone know of any parameters or other means of getting a reader plugin object to recognize and use/conform to z-indexing? Thank you in advance.
Respectfully, Robert

I'm pretty sure that you can't embed PDF fies in a web page, they can only be opened on their own. So, Acrobat will always take over the page and open the PDF document.
Thank you for your reply. The allows you to embed a PDF file using the system default pdf reader which is usually Adobe reader. You can see this at http://www.sellingpower.com/test/sf\_advert/index.asp. Click on "Selling Power Demographics" to see the problem I am referring to. The
objects themselves obey the layering stipulations as is evidenced by the borders of the "windows." But the is always on top. Thank you again.

I suspect the only way you can do this is using an iframe. Incidentally, the URL you gave doesn't show any PDF for me, and the page has several errors (including one on the object). You should probably fix the errors first and see if that improves your problem.

Thank you for pointing out the warnings on the page. I will look into them. Most of them are acceptable warnings about ampersands in some of the URLs. You have to click on "Selling Power Demographics" to get the two "windows" to pop up. They are actually hidden, absolutely-positioned
elements.
