If it doesn’t like the spaces, you could just change the filenames and reupload the bitstreams. I try to never use spaces in filenames because *nix based systems hate them.
If you have high res images in the PDF, Google struggles with it. Still, you can put some image only stuff in there. For example, here’s a pdf of a MSS we have in our repository. http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdigital.library.sbts.edu%2Fbitstream%2Fhandle%2F10392%2F226%2FFreedomInPreaching.pdf%3Fsequence%3D1 From: Fred Edwards [mailto:fred.edwa...@smu.ca] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2010 8:27 AM To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] PDF viever 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<mailto:fred.edwa...@smu.ca> Website: http://www.smu.ca/library/ -- On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 5:05 PM, Jason Fowler <jfow...@sbts.edu<mailto: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. See if that makes a difference.

You should be able to simply make changes to your theme.xsl file to enable it (and perhaps messages.xml). No java coding would be necessary using this method. You could do something very similar to what I have explained here for the inclusion of the video tag for HTML5 pseudo streaming. http://neoarch.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/using-the-html-5-video-tag-in-ds pace/<http://neoarch.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/using-the-html-5-video-tag-in-ds%0Apace/> Instead of embedding the video tag, you would put in code to embed the viewer. I am in a bit of a hurry now. If you need more information, let me know and I can explain this more fully next week.

I am using XMLUI as a default and I need to show those changes on XMLUI. I also discovered that setting up most functionalities for JSPUI is quite straight forward than for XMLUI. The thumbnail preview is well setup on JSPUI than on XMLUI where I can see changes happened on the web interface. Regards, Lewatle This communication is intended for the addressee only.
