title: Embedding pdf and images in html
body: <p>I need to embed both pdf-files and images in my html-page, however, due to the fact that my html contains a form and the user has to be able to decide whether he would like to upload a pdf-file or an image, I need a flexible solution regarding how to embed either a pdf-file or an image with the same code.
  I read that I could possibly use the <code>&lt;object/&gt;</code> tag, however, I also read that that's not a very "elegant" and possibly slow solution.
  I also considered to use <code>&lt;embed/&gt;</code> which, as of right now, is the best solution I could come up with. Unfortunately I couldn't find out about if it's a very conventional solution or not.</p>
  
  <p>I can't seem to find very much resources regarding this topic online, hence why I'm asking here. Are there any other/better ways to embed a pdf- or image-file in an html page?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I want top display the pdf kind of like a file. Also, I don't want the user to be able to resize the pdf in the viewer</p>
