MIME encoding of a PDF file in an HTML page

Question

Can a PDF be MIME encoded and included as part of the payload of an HTML page? This site shows that you can include a MIME-encoded image or a CSS in an HTML page: http://www

Answer 1

I've tried it with iframe and embed, worked in chrome, opera and safari, no ie or ff

<iframe src="data:application/pdf;base64,base64encodedpdf"></iframe>
<embed src="data:application/pdf;base64,base64encodedpdf">

Maybe with some tweaking you can get them to work for ff and maybe ie.
