yes i put exactly like that

Then I don't know what to tell you, sorry. It works on dozens, maybe hundreds, of other VB forums.

You don't have any "Replacement Variables" setup that could be interfering, do you?

The document view when I use it is skewed to right and down. Also when the post I have it embedded in comes up the browser looses focuses and focus is controlled by the embedded .pdf window.

I used the adobe .pdf document that discusses the controls and switches when embedding .pdf files and one of the controls is

http://www.xxxxx.com$fitH

This is suppsed to fit the document wigth wise in the viewable window... not.

Just added this BBCode and tested in Chromium Browser. Had to download Google Chrome .deb package, extract the contents and copy the libpdf.so file to /usr/lib/chromium-browser as Chromium doesn't have a .pdf plug-in (Google Chrome does). Restarted Chromium and went to your demo page and voila, embedded .pdf document! Just too cool. :cool: :cool:

Even though this MOD is from 2010, I've marked it as recommended for MOTM and of course, rated it Excellent. BOP5 continues to amaze me with his skills at providing improvements to vBulletin.

It really does look like there's an error in your HTML Replacement code. There's a dot where there should be a quotation mark. In addition, it almost looks like you have the code in there twice. Double check that you also don't have a plugin that automatically tries to parse PDFs installed.

i triple check it i copied the text exactly and follow the instructions
can you help me ?
i can give you admin premission for testing

thanks

Sorry guys... This is a simple bbcode, if it doesn't work I don't know why, it works on dozens of other sites.

There is nothing I can change in this mod to make it magically work on a site it doesn't work on now- the issue is external from this code.

I am marking this as unsupported because I do not have time to give the support some people are asking for.

I would suggest anyone having issues-
1) Try with a different browser
2) Make sire you have Adobe PDF Reader Plugin for your browser installed
3) Double/triple check the correct code in the BB Code Manager
4) Try from another computer

Actually it doesn't work. I've tried this on my forums and know how to write xhtml, xml, PHP and LUA. I can only figure there has to be something in one of the VB updates that is preventing it from property embedding.

It works fine on my 3.8.7 and 4.2.1 forums.

Can you see the PDF on this page? http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...e-Embedded-PDF

This is what it looks like to me (working):

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1377171151

After reinstalling it a second time, it now works on 4.1.11. Not sure why it wouldn't work the first time, unless I copied the code wrong. =/

When I use this bb code it will work in the test block below bb code manager but it doesn't work in a post. I get a black block.
Also the Click here to view or download the file directly dose not work.

any ideas of what I could be doing wrong?
I am running 4.2
Here is my post link:

I found what I was doing wrong. My link was incorrect.

thank you :)

good work :up:

how to make it work for mediafire
http://www.mediafire.com/view/d03dsz...Episode_10.pdf
??

Unless you have a direct link to the PDF file, you can't. The embed code is looking for an actual PDF file. Not a web page URL that happens to end in .pdf, but instead has a PDF embeded in it.

never mind, i figure out how to do for box.com

I have changed the bbcode so that users that see a blank pdf will have a link to click to view the file.

-----IF THE PDF IS BLANK CLICK HERE TO VIEW.-----

~~ok my bbcode settings are now as below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title = embed_pdf
BB Code Tag Name = pdf
Replacement =
<div align="center">
<p align="center">
<p><a href="{param}">---------------IF THE PDF IS BLANK CLICK HERE TO VIEW.--------------- </a></p>
<br />
<object type="application/pdf" data="{param}" width="800" height="900">
<param name="src" value="{param}" />
<embed src="{param}" type="application/pdf" width="800" height="900">
<p><a href="{param}">Click here to view or download the file directly.</a></p>
</object><br />
</embed>
</p></div>

Example = [pdf]http://www.baymeadowscommunitycouncil.net/pdf/visionplan.pdf[/pdf]
Description = Allows you to embed a pdf file.
Use {option} = Yes

Remove Tag If Empty = Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code = Yes
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code = Yes

Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code = Yes
Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code = Yes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This seems to work for now until a better solution is found.
Anyone that sees a problem with this please let me know and show me a better way of doing this.
Thanks

Working with 4.2.0. Marked as installed, thanks!

don't work with mediafire...

Hey Joe, your pfd bbcode was working great on a vb4 site before it was changed to https.
Any idea what would cause it to stop functioning?
The acp is not https and the pdf bbcode example works fine there, thoughts?

Try pdf from https source. And check in browser if it blocked http scripts. And if it is, what happens if you allow them.

Weird, but confirmed same issue on my own site. I guess browsers just don't trust pdf files, even if loaded over https. I suppose its because these days PDF files can submit data on their own outside of the security of the rest of the page it is loaded on. I haven't checked yet for any fix, too many other things to deal with on the https conversion. But if I find a fix I'll post it.

I confirm to me does not work. It worked perfectly before migration

Seems changing to an <object> tag instead of embed makes it work... There are some other small changes to the replacement code:

Thanks Joe, What small changes?

Sorry Joe, http link still refuse to work for me.

You can compare it to the one in the original post, I didn't change it. Things like width and height specified as CSS now.

All I can say is it works for me. PDF file is also on my own https server. sure it won't show if loaded from http link.

Make sure you edit the post so it rebuild the cache if you didn't make a new post or truncate the postparsed table.

Thx BirdOPrey5, now it's ok!

Is there a PDF Viewer in the works for vB v5?
