PDF File to View in Browser Window

Permalink
How could I set Concrete5 to view a content block-added PDF file in the browser window as opposed to downloading it?

Thx,
Spencer

Using a third party publisher like Scribd.com to store your document and use an HTML block to show the PDF.
This can be done pretty easily on your own (it requires you register for a free Scribd account) or the Marketplace has a pretty reasonably add-on to link to Scrib'd

That's an idea, but I have too many users and too many PDFs. What I am hoping for is that like the Document Library add-on it would open in the browser. Wordpress does this out of the box.

Thanks,
Spencer

I'm sure you've probably worked this out by now, but I just added a Reply to a similar posting that you may find of value:

I am going to submit a suggested change for this to be added to the 'Add File' dialog.

Good luck.
