Simply attaching a PDF file to a post isn't going to make it appear on the page.

You need to put the URL to the attachment inside the PDF tag.

Like this:

For this to work whoever is viewing it also has to have permission to view attachments on your site.

Hi,

I am using it with VB4.1.7 I followed you instruction but after I post, it just shows me

[pdf]http://www.qapla.com/ju/PDFOpenParameters.pdf[/pdf]

instead of the windowed PDF document...

Any suggestion.....

Appreciations....

That would mean you either didn't set the field BB Code Tag Name: correctly- it should just be pdf

Or you set "Use Option" to "Yes", it must be set to "No."

Thanks, it was "Use Option" ....

Hy,

Me too

Please can you see the problem

Thank s

See my answer in post # 33.

Doesn't work. Instead I get a grey area where the PDF should appear.

Please post the bbcode you are using, exactly, here. (the path to the pdf)

My apologies, the bbcode is correct and appears to be working perfectly in firefox. But I switched to chrome a while ago, and there the attachments won't show up.

edit:
PDF files that are hosted on the site - uploaded to a folder through ftp - do work on chrome.

Thanks for the update. Please mark this mod as installed if you are using it.
