Issue with embed PDFs on www.professeurphifix.net

[benoit74]

I'm trying to crawl www.professeurphifix.net and I've an issue with embedded PDFs

Let's focus on https://www.professeurphifix.net/orthographe_impression/ortho_a_1.html as an example.

The code showing the PDF is :

<embed src="ortho_a_1.pdf" width="680px" height="600px">

It is hence not explored by default by the crawler, but this is not a big deal thanks to the "recent" --selectLinks setting ;)

Command used:

crawl --scopeIncludeRx ortho_a_1 --selectLinks "a[href]->href,embed[src]->src" --seeds https://www.professeurphifix.net/orthographe_impression/ortho_a_1.html

With this "tweak", the resulting WARC contains the PDF but "something" seems to prevent it to be displayed on replayweb.page (and in the ZIM as well obviously).

Do I miss something? Is this rather a wombat.js issue?

Sample WARC with the HTML and the PDF:
rec-da74c0c8fc0b-20250328092919995-0.warc.gz

I was able to load the PDF in both Chrome and Firefox just now in ReplayWeb.page.. Or maybe it works in some cases?
What browser were you using?

I still don't achieve to do it from both Firefox and Chrome on MacOS (latest versions or so)

Firefox:

Chrome (message is a bit clearer):
