it seems its a little more insidious than that... what I was experiencing first seems to indicate that the viewer isn't happy with PDFs that have spaces in the file name...
now, secondly, a working URL and PDF (one with no spaces in the file name) will properly display when directly browsed to... ie. grab the URL from the page source that the viewer is supposed to use... copy and paste to the address bar... and google will display the PDF no problem... however, within the embedded iframe that same PDF will only be "somewhat" loaded... the pages all display an icon for a broken image and not the PDF pages... erk Fred Edwards Systems Technician Patrick Power Library Saint Mary's University Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 3C3 Phone: (902) 420-5096 Fax: (902) 420-5561 E-mail: fred.edwa...@smu.ca Website: http://www.smu.ca/library/ -- On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 5:05 PM, Jason Fowler <jfow...@sbts.edu> wrote: > Two thoughts. > > First, are there any bitstream restrictions that would allow you to browse > to the URL but would not allow Google's servers to access it? > > Second, try manually entering the URL into this form ( > http://docs.google.com/viewer?pli=1) only omit the sequence section from > the end of the URL.
