Re: [Dspace-tech] PDF viever
actually... I really jumped the gun when I thought I had it working...
turns out that the images that did finally come through in the viewer were
simply cached images...
I had been playing with direct links to see what the problem was so I was in
fact just looking at cached images from page 1 and 2...
so, I'm right back where I started...
I can view the PDF in a full size viewer... I can also look at individual
images that make up the viewer pages...
BUT... when in the iFrame on the item page it just won't work...

From the DRI above you have a few choices of how you may want to construct
the link to your bitstream. In the example I posted, I grab the bitstream
ID xsl:value-of select=substring(@ID,6)/, so I can avoid spaces
completely. Otherwise if you want to use the filename, you'll have to do a
url encode.

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

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...

Re: [Dspace-tech] PDF viever
really is solved this time...
the problem is browser security
google needs/wants to push a cookie onto the user...
my security settings blocks third party cookies
once google.com is made an exception the issue is resolved...
for my PC...
I can't say that I personally find this solution palatable, but the problem
is solved and policy is another story.

Re: [Dspace-tech] PDF viever
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.

[Dspace-tech] PDF viever
Hi all I want to enable PDF viewer for DSpace so that a user who doesn't have PDF application installed can just view the document on the web browser without the need to install PDF viewer. 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.

Re: [Dspace-tech] PDF viever
That should be pretty easy in XMLUI using something like Google's viewer, especially if you have no collections that need to be authenticated. 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-dspace/ 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.
