pdf reading in the site

Question

i need to provide pdf reading in my site, but i haven't done such before, so could you tell me how i can do it(just give me an idea, or some links...). thanks

Answer 1

If it is a static PDF file, just put it in public webcontent and give a link to the PDF file using the HTML <a> tag. The server will worry about setting the correct response headers. E.g:

<a href="file.pdf">Open PDF</a>

If you like to embed it in a webpage, then you can use the HTML <iframe> tag for this whose src attribute should point to the URL of the PDF file. E.g:

<iframe src="file.pdf" width="500" height="300"></iframe>

There's Flex Paper.

Answer 3

Just use any basic tag and it should open fine. Better yet, add the target="_blank" to make it open in a new window.
