I'm glad you worked that out. I had never ran into window size problems. But
I was thinking of having buttons to let the user expand/shrink the size of
the viewer window. Some simple jQuery to make the height equal height+100,
and perhaps even a button to close the viewer.

<mets:fileSec>
<mets:fileGrp USE="CONTENT">
<mets:file CHECKSUMTYPE="MD5" GROUPID="group_file_156873" ID="file_156873"
MIMETYPE="application/pdf" SIZE="2672965" CHECKSUM=
"56f01cd0d6ce9bdfea6eebb1c3f9103c">
<mets:FLocat LOCTYPE="URL" xlink:title="HIL_ENICH_FMS_1.pdf" xmlns:xlink="
http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/"; xlink:type="locator" xmlns:xlink="
http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/"xlink:href=
"/dspace/bitstream/handle/1811/37140/HIL_ENICH_FMS_1.pdf?sequence=1"
 xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/"/>
</mets:file>
</mets:fileGrp>

>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.

<a href="#preview"
onclick="embeddedPreview('
http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://kb.osu.edu/dspace/retrieve/156873&embedded=true')
;">
 Preview </a>

(in my post here, the Google accessible / production box is still jspui and
this a work living on development, thus the /retrieve/)
