Div over pdf iframe

I have a page with an iframe. The iframe has a PDF file as source.

I would like to place a div over the iframe, but the PDF file always stays over the div. I have tried with z-index, but it doesn't work.

Any sugestions, you intelligent people?

Thanks in advance

Can't be done.

And what about if the iframe has an MHT file (Web Archive) as source? Can it be done?

No,
System Objects such as DropDown Menus and Frames take precident over layers.

Uhm, that's not entirely true. I can place a div over an iframe, when the iframe source is, for example, an HTML page (giving the div a higher z-index, of course). Why can't you do the same when the iframe has a mht file as source?

Could you post an example of your code?

Well, if they wont, I certainly will, this has been giving me grief for days.

You need to put an IFrame under your Div Tag

So you hav the following

IFrame with PDF in it set to ZINdex = 1

IFrame under you DIV set to ZIndex = 50

DIV over the second IFrame with ZIndex = 100

You can use ClientWidth and ClientHeight commands to assign the widght and height to the IFrame under the DIV if they will fluctuate. This works in all browsers I believe.

How do I search selected parts of a pdf document? I'm trying to search a pdf document for keywords, but it has loads of pages and I only want to search through a bit of text. I tried highlighting the text but it still searches the whole document. Pls help if you know how, Thanks!
