I use this on a WP website I am developing. Tested it just now on IE8 and it works fine. Really great plugin to use to get away from Flash and plugins that rely on Fash. Thanks!

Thank you for a very good plugin, only one I found that works with I.E.

In IE8, if you click “Fit Page to Screen”, it works fine.

I didn’t realize this affected IE7 as well, that appears to be new. Currently I can’t even get the viewer to load in IE8, which is a step worse than it was before (it hangs indefinitely or prompts for login to Google).

Adding google.com to allowed cookie sites is perhaps one step better than the corrections I suggest above, but still requires fussing with Internet Options, yes? I don’t see a simple way to add the domain otherwise. Open to suggestions on how to deal with this issue better.

correction, it appears to work with google.com added to allowed-cookies sites (not my domain).

i’m looking for a way to programmatically add my domain to the client-browser’s allowed cookies. even if a popup asks user permission, that’s still better than asking the user to deal with Internet Options dialog box.

i may be wrong about this, but i see this behavior– when i load a google viewer in IE 7, I get the broken link you show above.

but if i click the Shrink button, I can see the pdf. Do you get that?

i cannot comment on IE 8, because I refuse to install it on my computer.

(ps, Somehow the Vuzit embed does not suffer from this problem. they are non-flash, like Google’s viewer, which I prefer).

cheers!
