I cannot scroll a pdf called inside a frame in iPad Safari

<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 />

I have already tried 2 things:

2-finger scroll

Using object/embed instead of frame

But this does not work.

In fact I have tried a lot of things...overflow, height, etc..

Please help me. Thank you in advance.

According to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1484 you cannot scroll anything inside a frame when using Safari on the iPad. The frames always get resized to fit their content (this also applies to iframes). To do this, Safari even dismisses the values for cols or rows you made in the frameset-tag and seems to use whatever value is needed. Unfortunately, the frame does not resize properly for PDFs so they get cut off.

I think your best choice might be to link the pdf directly...
