Does anyone know of a jQuery magnification plugin for embedded pdf objects?

So far all the zoom of magnifying plugins I have found are for images and I need something that will work when hovered over an embedded object tag .pdf file. Any ideas?

Solution

  • Basically images can be rendered properly from the browser and can be "embedded" into a web page, while the PDF cannot be embedded directly into html, and that's why they cannot be zoomed.

    You cannot see a PDF preview in a page. Well, it's possible, but not with pure JavaScript. You can embed the file in a web page using something like this: https://docs.google.com/viewer

    here is an example: http://code.google.com/apis/books/docs/viewer/examples/book-animate.html

    but I don't believe it's possible to achieve the effect you like.
