Embedded pdf in Bootstrap not full height

I am having a problem with my embedded pdf on this page. sponsorships The previous version of this site was html4 and embed was done with the object tag like this

  <object data="pdf/GreekFestSponsorship2013.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="700px"> 
  <p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.</p>
  <p id="missing-pdf-plugin">You can <a href="pdf/GreekFestSponsorship2013.pdf">click here to download the PDF file</a>.</p>
  </object>

This is the new code

/* Flexible iFrame */
 
.flexible-container {
    position: relative;
    
    height: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}
 
.flexible-container iframe,   
.flexible-container object,  
.flexible-container embed {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

You have 2 extra rulesets that'll work as intended but you need to...

...correct this in HTML:

<div class="flexible-container-embed">

to this:

<div class="flexible-container">

...and add this to .flexible-container CSS ruleset:
```
padding-bottom: 100%;
```

When adding those 2 rulesets, place them in a <style> element and then add that to be the last position inside the <head> element. Go to the Plunker link below for an example.

/* Flexible iFrame */
 
.flexible-container {
    position: relative;
    /* This blank line was probably:
    || padding-top: 56.25%;
    */
    height: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}
 
/* This ruleset says:
|| "Apply the following properties and their values to ANY `<iframe>`,
|| `<object>`, or `<embed>` THAT IS A CHILD OF any element with the 
|| class of `.flexible-container`.
*/
.flexible-container iframe,   
.flexible-container object, 
.flexible-container embed {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

When you applied these 2 rulesets, you had given the div that wraps the <object> the class of .flexible-container-embed but both rulesets apply to elements with the class of .flexible-container and any of it's children that are <iframe>, <object>, or <embed>. Basically, remove the ~~-embed~~ part of the class name.

Next was the padding-bottom property. This is commonly at 56.25% which when applied to the container of an iframe the proper context to maintain a height of 9 to the width of 16. That's good for a wide screen format video, but not so good for a PDF which is probably has an aspect ratio of 8:11 or 72% (I used 100% in the demo since that's what you requested, expect an edit that'll include a 72% version.) If we combine the padding with the height:0, we get a container that acts like "shrinkwrap" that adapts it's height according to it's content's width. Update: there's no discernible change from 100% to 72% because of the padding the PDF plugin adds.

I changed the <object> into an <iframe> because they are more versatile, you can use <embed> as well. Review this PLUNKER

It's quite difficult display the PDF file in full 100% height. You may want to take Bootstrap's responsive embedded media approach as the result is fairly decent and there's less hassle involved.

Please keep in mind that not all browsers support embedded PDF files, hence the notice inside the <object> tag.
