Chef LeeZ GWD PDF not an image & IFrame with PDF not cross platform.

Google Web Designer,  GWD, forum post:  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/gwdbeta/TsIwOT_OlIA/ShlftHDBzrYJ

We have built a GWD Iframe inserting a pdf into this test page. We are told GWD insert image does not recognize pdf as an image.

 It works fine in Chrome and Thailand I E but fails to render the iframe in USA I E. (no iframe or pdf) and I don't know how that is even possible but that what the test shows (no iframe in USA IE).

Chrome

                                       
 I E Thailand

I E USA
 and not at all on Android 
even with adobe reader installed to both Samsung androids (Galaxy 10.1 and 5 inch Galaxy Note) both operarting on android 4.1 or higher. 
Android Thailand
Until resolved GWD iframe does not import a PDF cross platform!

  1. Yup, that's correct as far as I know .pdf is not GWD recognized image. Further more the GWD video viewer only works with 3 types of video files. To use this feature one must convert their current videos one of the supported endings. For me that's 30 + videos. So our work around for that is to hyperlink to your video functioning elsewhere.

  3. We have also built an html iframe and inserted a .pdf url within it with success on chrome, and nothing on android and thailand Ie working fine but USA I E give an empty iframe. SO the GWD HTML iframe is not cross platform.
