    • Linking to pdf forms

    Posted by cmgross
    Is there anyway to upload and link to a pdf form so that it is viewable within the browser. Whether I use a file gallery or attach it to the page none of the browsers I've tried recognize the links as pdf. Instead they try and download the file. These browsers view PDFs on other sites inline so I'm not sure what I am missing.

    You can simply FTP the PDF file to your site and link to it with:

    Copy to clipboard
    [somedirectory/foo.pdf]

    That's unfortunate. We've trying to keep things simple enough that non-techies can update sections of the site. We'll just have to make do for now.

    I think it may be a problem with the way you have Acrobat installed with your browser. On my Tiki, the PDF attachments open just fine (that is, in the browser).
