Hello there list! My name is David and I'm from Argentina. I am quite new with Dspace (and java) development and I am failing to find a solution for my problem.
My client (a library) wants to show pdf files embedded directly in the
page of the item detail "display-item.jsp". I tried several aproaches
but non where 100% efective.
I tried:
a. Embbeding the pdf in the page using PDF.js but the script doesn't
work perfectly in IE and Chrome, some (few) files fail to load.
b. Embedding the pdf with a reader made with flash. Converting the
pdf to swf with a custom filter made with pdf2swf. But my client is not
convinced by flash. He wants something that works with firefox in unix
as well and flash is certainly dying as a linux/unix friendly
technology.
So now I had the idea of converting the pdf file to a collection of pngs
(using pdftoppm) and show the pngs in a custom javascript "gallery". But
I am not sure if and how can I convert one Bitstream (the pdf file) to a
collection of Bitstreams (the images) and save them to a bundle. I
looked at the documentation but it kind of assumes that one wants a 1:1
conversion. And Google returned nothing.
If someone could help me or give me a trail to follow I would be very
thankful and of course whatever I end up making I will publish it in my
git account for the public
I am developing in dspace 1.8.2 (client is already using this version
and, by now, refuses to upgrade)
Thanks in advance!.
