View a PDF on the website
I use PDF documents, some one page, some more pages.
On that same website, it is strange - some of the PDF documents show up, others are prompting me to download, then view them from the Download folder.
It is the same website, the same browser
What can I do for all PDF's to show, rather than download which is not friendly at all.
I know, this is NOT a WB question, but hope that someone here can help
Thanks

Re: View a PDF on the website
The behavior of PDFs is controlled by the browser and user preferences.
But this may be helpful:

Re: View a PDF on the website
Ok, I created a sample page here:
squadron-125.org.il/page5.html
1)But, when you click the link, instead of just showing the document, it prompts to click to read it, what for is that?
2)Also, is there a way to have the page show a different pdf, by calling it with another pdf link?
Thanks

As a web designer you have no control over this. The user is in control over this.

Re: View a PDF on the website
How is the user in control over this, visitors to the site keep asking me
Fact is, that on that same website (and also on others)
The same machine
The same browser
The same "User preferences"
Some pdf's are showing as expected, some are not
I am suspecting something to do with the page structure? But what can it be?
Thanks again

Re: View a PDF on the website
The user can configure how PDFs are displayed by the browser. In their browser or system settings they can configure if the file is download or viewed directly in the browser.
This is browser specific.

Re: View a PDF on the website
But,
The "User" is me at this point
I have NOT specified anything in my browser
The browser is all the time the same browser
It is all on the same website
The only difference is the pdf itself, or here are two examples :
https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewe ... f/bugi.pdf
The above is working with the "Google" help, makes it slow to load
This one however is a call to the same page directly and instead of showing the file, it downloads it
https://squadron-125.org.il/mypdf/bugi.pdf
To see the difference, you have to try it on a mobile phone
Cheers

Re: View a PDF on the website
Did you try the PDFObject extension?

Re: View a PDF on the website
Yes, I tried : https://squadron-125.org.il/page5.html
But,
1) Have a look at the link - it shows only a small view, I made it in preview to show the whole page
2) It doesn't work on my tablet, or my mobile - it prompts me to open, but the button doesn't do anything
Maybe the item 1 above is connected to the problem in item 2?
So, what else can I try?
Thanks

Re: View a PDF on the website
I'm sorry, in that case I do not know what else to try.
But as previously mentioned, the behavior of PDF is implemented in the browser.
Note: I am not sure if the PDFObject script can be used in a layout grid, so you can try to place it outside the grid.

Re: View a PDF on the website
I took a basic example from the project originator and did this example, no layout grid
https://squadron-125.org.il/objectpdftest.html
It works OK on the desktop, but on my mobile phone - the page is empty, the same on my Android tablet
The script (you can see the source page) has a fallback to pdf.js - but it seems this is not doing much
Thanks

Re: View a PDF on the website
The website of PDF Object states that mobile browsers do not support embedded PDF:
https://pdfobject.com/#browser-support
So, if even this developer (who dedicated a lot of time to this) cannot make it work then I am not sure if it's possible.

Re: View a PDF on the website
Hello Michael,
Of course not, it was just a test page for Pablo which has been cleared since.
But, try this one now : https://squadron-125.org.il/adobepdf.ht ... ochure.pdf
If you need any help, just ask
Cheers
