Is it possible to integrate PDF files

Hi,

does anyone know how to display PDF s in the Modx buildt website?
Are there snippets/plugins around for this?

Frank.

Yes, there is the File type TV that will allow you to upload PDF, DOC, TXT files. Is that what you are looking for?

Hi.

possibly, I did not see that, can you explain that?
I would like to more or less have ditto output a list of newsletters, which are pdf’s.
And have m readable inside the page layout. Acctually that’ s what the site owner wants.

PS the forum search seems to have problems, even a search for "ditto" gives 0 results, hence my question.

Try phpFileTree snippet: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=40853.0

As for displaying the actual file within the browser, the user would need to configure their Acrobat installation to open PDF files in a browser window (as well as having Acrobat installed). Also, some browsers may automatically open a PDF once Acrobat is installed, others may not.

The best way, IMO, is to put the .PDF files in one directory and write a simple snippet that reads the directory, gets the filenames, and returns a formatted list of the filenames as links. I’ve got one around here somewhere if you need to see how it’s done.

You should also add a "Get Adobe Reader" button.
