Thanks. That's helpful. I wonder, though, if this the entire truth. i.e. are width and height really the only tag attributes that are supported? And what about "source attributes"? Are the ones mentioned the only ones implemented? Would you know where to find a comprehensive answer?
TIA,

Joel gave me some further detail on the attributes.

align=alignment

Determines how to align the object. May have the following values:


CENTER Center the header

LEFT Align to the left

RIGHT Align to the right

height="n"

Height of the object in pixels

NAME="name"

A name used to reference the object.

SRC="url"

URL of the object to be embedded.

width="n"

Width of the object in pixels

The [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/iac_developer_guide.pdf]Developing Applications Using Interapplication Communication[/url] also has some information on PDF browser controls, which may be helpful as well.

Thanks again, Ikassuba. It's very good to know (albeit a bit dissabpointing) that this is all there is. But I guess we're supposed to use Javascript for everything else, so Adobe restricts the attributes to avoid conflicts. Fair enough.

BTW, the "PDF browser controls" section of the mentioned document pertains to the built-in document browser rather than to web browsers, as far as I can tell.

Best regards,
