Hi everyone,
I would like to have bigger preview images for my pdf's (they are just one page) I would like to be able to read them to nice resolution already in the preview (without opening the pdf file itself)
Is there an option or a workaround to view a pdf file bigger that "medium" directly in the wikidot page without clicking on the image?
Thanks
Al.
I do not know another trick as the
[[gallery size="medium" viewer="no"]]
: /all-filles/EinladungVernissage0208.pdf
[[/gallery]]
Could be there is a trick for an image - sized(not gallery - thsi is a thumbnail) image tag?
Edit: [[image /all-files/EinladungVernissage0208.pdf width="800px" ]] works well!
You have to adjust the size with the width and higth parmaeter…

Great tip, Helmut. What if I want to show all the pages in a (multi-page) pdf? Any chance?
Yes, this works well for most pdf files.
But not for a pdf file saved by "Visage Expert Pdf"…
( i tested it with my Handbook.pdf - the front page - this does not work…
I try now the pdfmailer - a printer driver…
It seems that not all pdf - formats are usable for gallery or image tag.
PS: it is always possible to get a screen shot of a pdf and to show such manual made "thumbnail" of a pdf…
Example of my pdfmailer pdf file:
[[gallery viewer="no"]]
: /forum-screenshots/Handbook_pdfmailer.pdf
: /forum-screenshots/Handbook.pdf
[[/gallery]] |

Click on both "thumbnails to see the difference of the pdf files!

A Web2.0 pdf viewer that I am currently experimenting with for a local wikidot-hosted community online newsletter is Issuu. After registering (free) you upload your pdfs (although you can embed those that are already on the site). You copy the embed code given to you, put it inside html tags and then reference the html codeblock in an iframe. The user sees the pdf in mini-viewer with page flips as shown below. When the mini viewer is clicked the full screen viewer opens in a new window.
I will write a how-to or snippet on this as soon as possible. I know it's not in native wikidot syntax and is yet another of my embeds, but I think Issuu is really good.

Thanks, Rob. That would be similar to using Scribd (as shown by the current featured wiki, Wikipiano). I was wondering if you guys would know of any service that would allow hosting our pdfs in our own sites; we would provide only a link to the file and the app would take care of displaying it. That's for my library wiki, which already hosts hundreds of pdfs. I just wanted to avoid having to upload all my files to yet another site.
By the way, would the dev team be interested in developing some sort of embed for Scribd's iPaper technology? I unfortunately don't know how these things work, but I'd be willing to learn. But first I would like to know if it would be possible to make it work with individual Wikidot sites (do I have the right level of "autonomy"?).
Yes, Issuu is very similar to Scribd.
I think what you are wishing for is a more developed PDF viewer module for wikidot. And of course a bulk uploader would be very useful.
Scribd iPaper
You can embed Scribd ipaper into your wiki in the usual way. From the Embed menu select the code:
and put it inside html body tags as shown below. Then add an iframe to refer to the number of the codeblock on your page. In my example below it is the second block of html on my page, hence the /code/2.
