In the above example −
We have first created button “Embed pdf” that will execute the embedObj() function when clicked by the user −
<button onclick="embedObj()">Embed pdf</button>
The function embedObj created an <embed> element using the createElement() method of the document body and assigns it to the variable e. We then set the <embed> element height, width, src and border properties. Finally the <embed> element is appended as the document body child using the appendChild() method −
function embedObj() {
var e = document.createElement("EMBED");
e.setAttribute("src", "Text-converted.pdf");
e.width="400px";
e.height="200px";
e.style.border="2px solid blue";
document.body.appendChild(e);
}
