Q: Safari in iOS 8.0 can not display a PDF embedded in a HTML page(with embed tag).
Safari in iOS 8.0 can not display a PDF embedded in a HTML page(with embed tag).
In iOS7.0 or earlier Safari can display the PDF if it is embedded in a HTML page.
demo page:
http://www.broadband-xp.com/test/ios/embed.html
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In iOS 8.0 with Safari access to the following test page:
http://www.broadband-xp.com/test/ios/embed.html
You will not see a PDF there.
2. In iOS 7.0 or earlier with Safari access to the same page.
Then you will see a PDF.
Is this change a bug or an expected behavior?

When is Apple FINALLY going to make this work again. We are now at at least the fourth major release of iOS 8!!!
It makes one wonder whether they really care. Perhaps the new Chinese buyers of the iPhone 6 Big don't need PDF.
