Scroll PDF embedded in HTML

I have embedded a PDF file in Iframe. My html file has buttons "UP", "DOWN". When I click on these buttons, I want the pdf to scroll up or down.

Is there a way to control the pdf with javascript or any other way. I will be using Internet Explorer6 for this application and Acrobat pdf reader.

You can read PDF Open Parameters.

Briefly you create an <object> tag such as <object type="application/pdf" data="file1.pdf" width="500" height="650" ></object> and you pass the parameters like file1.pdf#toolbar=0 &scrollbar=0. You can manage the up-down with links or images with html.

Hardly.

What you might be able to do is to put the iframe into a div with overflow: auto, and give the iframe a very large height value so the containing PDF is at full size. Make the surrounding div less tall than the iframe. When your buttons get clicked, scroll the surrounding div.

I haven't tested it so there may be some snag on the way, but this could work - and is probably the best you can do.
