Add PDF in mail Body with PHPMailer

Question

I would like to add a PDF in Body of mail, not with AddInlineStringAttachment() but in body. The goal is to see the pdf without download. Thank's

For that you will have to embed a PDF viewer in your e-mail, which doesn't seem to be possible. So your best bet would be converting the PDF into an image or HTML. — Keval, Jun 22 '15 at 06:49

1 - Using <object> tag:

<object width="400" height="400" type="application/pdf" data="http://emersonjair.info/files/rf-pibic-2013-Emerson.pdf"></object>

2 - Using <iframe> tag:

<iframe src="http://emersonjair.info/files/rf-pibic-2013-Emerson.pdf"></iframe>

3 - Using <embed> tag:
