From what I can see they are not actually expanding to show the pdf. They are expanding to show text that they typed in which is also in the pdf file.

Rt-Click web page, View page source

At the top of the HTML you will see a script type: <script type="text/javascript" src="sdmenu.js"></script> The file sdmenu.js has the source code for making the section expand.

Now Look for the an "a herf" tag that has a lot of text following it.

the beginning tag <a herf=" ">
the ending tag <a>

They typed some of the pdf text between the beginning and ending tag.
Notice how the tag div class="collapsed has a class of collapsed. This is why you don't see the text until you click in the area.





If you are using Chrome, just Rt Click on the element you are interested in and select, "Inspect element".
