"Display in browser" settings

Post by Meitzi »

I would like to hide toolbar when PDF-XChange open in browser. Toolbaars take too much space. And usually, when you open PDF in browser, you only want to look at it.

I did find out that "in browser" setttings are different than when you open program. So, I can manually close all toolbaars and thats it.

You can easily customise the toolbars for the browser plugin (separately from the standalone viewer), and assign a shortcut key to show/hide your customised toolbar.

I use the File toolbar, with shortcut "f" to show and hide it. Although I rarely use the comment tools from within the plugin, it is useful to have the different zoom and page views buttons on the toolbar, and a save as button. You may also want quick access to the bookmarks pane or the search panel.

Is it possible to control your browser plugin appearance with passing arguments in URL like Adobe Reader?

Thank you.

Hi, bubblehead.

All features from Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" specification are supported with the exception of the "toolbar=0|1" parameter, sorry.

The support for "toolbar" parameter will be added in the next build.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have tried the same syntax as is required for Adobe, but I did not succeed to control your plug-in:

Code: Select all

<iframe src="file.pdf#navpanes=0&page=1&view=FitH" ...
Do you have some instructions available?

Hi, bubblehead.

I checked it, it works properly.
The working example:

Code: Select all

<HTML>
<BODY>
<IFRAME SRC="http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf#page=5&navpanes=0&view=FitH" WIDTH=1024 HEIGHT=768>
If you can see this, your browser doesn't 
understand IFRAME.
</IFRAME>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You are correct! I was able to use these parameters:

Code: Select all

#pagemode=none&scrollbar=1&statusbar=0&page=1&view=FitH,0
As you mentioned earlier toolbar=0 was not effective. I will be eagerly awaiting the next release.
Thank you.

Forgive me for being a total noob, but I can't seem to find a toolbar of any sort when I open a PDF in a browser tab. I'm using google chrome. I know an earlier post mentioned that I can customise the browser plugin... unfortunately, I fail to remember IF I even have the plug in. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have to add that the reason I wanted a tool bar or a few buttons is that I wanted to be able to save a copy of the PDF opened in the browser.

Aha! Strangely enough, I managed to find the toolbar again. I must have just pressed F11 by mistake. No wonder I couldn't see anything. Silly me.
