I'm embedding pdf files using something like this:
<div class="graph-outline">
<object style="width:100%;" data="path/to/file.pdf?#zoom=85&scrollbar=0&toolbar=0&navpanes=0" type="application/pdf">
<embed src="path/to/file.pdf?#zoom=85&scrollbar=0&toolbar=0&navpanes=0" type="application/pdf" />
</object>
</div>
It works but I want to set the pdf width to match the width of the containing div. Currently it shows up like an iframe with scrollbars, so to view the entire pdf, you have to scroll right to left. I want the pdf to fit the width of the container.
How do I fix this? I'm supporting IE8 and up.

I did that mistake once - embedding PDF files in HTML pages. I will suggest that you use a JavaScript library for displaying the content of the PDF. Like https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/
Simply do this:
<object data="resume.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="800px">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.
No biggie... you can <a href="resume.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a></p>
</object>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper{ width:100%; float:left; height:auto; border:1px solid #5694cf;}
</style>
</head>
<div id="wrapper">
<object data="http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf" width="100%" height="100%">
<p>Your web browser doesn't have a PDF Plugin. Instead you can <a href="http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf"> Click
here to download the PDF</a></p>
</object>
</div>
</html>
<object data="resume.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="800px">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.
No biggie... you can <a href="resume.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a>
</p>
</object>
If you're using Bootstrap 3, you can use the embed-responsive class and set the padding bottom as the height divided by the width plus a little extra for toolbars. For example, to display an 8.5 by 11 PDF, use 130% (11/8.5) plus a little extra (20%).
<div class='embed-responsive' style='padding-bottom:150%'>
<object data='URL.pdf' type='application/pdf' width='100%' height='100%'></object>
</div>
Here's the Bootstrap CSS:
.embed-responsive {
position: relative;
display: block;
height: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
Seen from a non-PHP guru perspective, this should do exactly what us desired to:
<style>
[name$='pdf'] { width:100%; height: auto;}
</style>
<embed src="your.pdf" type="application/pdf#view=FitH" width="actual-width.px" height="actual-height.px"></embed>

Chrome has its own PDF reader & all parameter don't work on chrome. Mozilla is worst for handling PDFs.
