iPad Frame scroll issue

I am trying to display a PDF in an iframe..So there are 2 frames and the bottom frame has the pdf. It is coded as;

<frame src="ebook.pdf" title="Content Frame" name="content" id="content" frameborder="0" border="0" noresize scrolling="yes" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresizescrolling="AUTO" framespacing="0" />

For some reason, I am unable to scroll through the PDF in iPad Safari...More specifically within the iframe..

Is this a PDF issue or is it an iframe issue?

I have tried the using the instead of frame..Still does not work..

Please help. Thank you.

Heres a link to an iframe that doesnt scroll on the ipad:

I have to redesign all my pages in iWeb now since the iPad won't scroll iFrames made with iWeb on my iPad. I get quite a few hits from people using iOS.

When you insert the <iframe> into a <div> with height specification and set overflow-y to scroll (maybe auto i did'nt try) you can scroll using two fingers on iPad. It has no effect on pc browsers.

Use (iOS App) Opera Mini browser instead, when clicking on a pdf in Opera Mini it induces Safari to open the PDF in a non-frame mode. Weird I know but it works.

Scrolling within frames is a tricky UX thing with the iPad -- try scrolling with two fingers. I don't know about PDFs, but that's how scrolling is done for other frames in Safari.
