I guess this is a part Elements and part general website thing. So I (with Claude help!) have created a pdf viewer with page controls and zoom in/out in a custom HTML component. It works great, happy to share if anyone is interested? It allows you to set the pdf file path in a properties box so the final website is limited to that file, but that is what I wanted.
Then I wanted to put it in a password protected section. This simply does not work, it messes up the page badly, ignores the password etc.
So then I made the password a page protection with a redirect. This works great. BUT is there any way to hide the page URL of the redirect? Because of course anyone with the password can access the file and then share the URL of the redirected page.
Dave I did a free PDF viewer a while back however could not get the âtoolbarâ to work on iPad and phone as it needed an extra component, if you ahve cracked that then please I would be very happy to see it. My one was done with a button or picture trigger have a look here. https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/pdf-embed-free-project-beta-v2-elements/54092/3
Sorry Am I missing a trick here? First of all when loaded I get a red bar with âFailed to load PDF: Load failedâ and an open button, which when opens opens a PDF, this when scaled just loses part of right side of pdf, which was a problem I had with my initial set up until I rectified it.
So I am non the wiser as I have exactly the same as my open modal with a button PDF Viewer that shrinks the sides of PDF when opened on smaller device. Can you kindly attach few pictures to show tool bar on iPad and iPhone as Iâm not seeing anything different to mine. TIA
Ok perhaps crossed purposes I pressed the open button and got next page/ download zoom controls etc. and a narrowed page hence pics. On opening I get the small view as per pic. I wear glasses so like things big!
OK more confused, âmy pageâ what are you referring to? If itâs my project for PDF yes the limitations are it opening and squashing screen and also theres no menu bar on iPad/iphone as apple doesnt have it. We discussed this at time. I thought youâd made me happy today but it appears same as mine in the squashy bit.
I am not sure how to assist further, sorry you have an issue, the attached screenshot is from my phone, it has page control, zoom control, âFITâ option.
Ok, but the thing is this. If you donât press the Open button then you have the toolbar with page control next/prev etc to change page, zoom in/out and FIT. BUT there is no scroll through the pages. Press the open button and you no longer have the toolbar but you can manually scroll down the file.
I have just noticed though that on my iPhone the zoom +/- does not work
Dave - the joys of experimenting! The image was too small thats why I opened it. Didnt check anything else but will delve a little deeper tomorrow, as just in from swimming and having a bite to eat soon.
BTW when I press the open button it opens perfectly on all my devices, just wiypthout the toolbar but with scrolling. The zoom control works for me on Mac and iPad but not on iPhone, I will investigate this.
