Displaying PDFs

Question

Currently I have code that displays PNG images and comments from a database linked to each Image. I realized that I will also need to do this for PDF files.

How would I edit the current code to display PDF documents instead of PNG Images?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Given that there is no straightforward way to display pdfs inline in a similar manner to images, you could consider the following:

Use cfpdf action = "thumbnail" to convert the pdf to a series of images .
Then, load the images for a given pdf in a jquery carousel to make them available to review.

Using a carousel to contain and display the pages of the 'pdf' would give you a result similar to when you display a single image for review and would probably let you retain a similar look and feel to your page.
