Viewing PDF files using iFrame.

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello guys,

I’m currently trying to view a PDF file in an iFrame. Although the problem is that, I can’t view the file. The PDF file is inside the same folder where the view page is:

ci
-application
-views
-documents
-index.php
-documentPage.php
-file.pdf


here’s my code:

Code:

<iframe src="file.pdf" width="100%"> </iframe>

What happens is this message displays on the iFrame:
404 Page Not Found

The page you requested was not found.


I don’t get it, is the Codeigniter framework responsible for this? When I declared file.pdf, does it like call some method or something? Please help
