You will need a PDF viewer component for displaying the PDF. You will have to configure the PDF component so as to limit download and print options.

I have a webform with and want to open it on smartphone - than take pictures of some documents which need to be merged in one PDF, and on the end this file need to be uploaded to server.
My solution is to use Google Drive to upload PDF (scan) to GDrive and then somehow download this file from gdrive to server via some sort of widget (any links appreciate) installed on website.
Maybe someone have a better idea?
I know its late but my answer might help others. I also face the same challenge and implemented a custom solution based on Javascript and Since you are using web form so this solution will perfectly fits on your need.
You have to use JSPdf javascript library, JSPdf provide you pdf object in your browser and you can upload it download it and there are many other thing to play with.
First you have to initialize JSPdf object as per your requirement. I am creating PDF with page size width:500px and height 500px.
pdf = new jsPDF("l", "pt", [500,500]);
Simply when you will take picture from camera you will have each picture in form of base64, that base64 format you have to insert in JSPdf object
pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPEG', 0, 0);
you can repeat the above code to add pictures from camera as much as you want, at the back-end these images are compiling and creating pdf document where each page have each images in sequence.
Once you are done, you can get PDF object in form of base64 object using below code that you can upload to any server.
pdf.output('datauristring')
above is only pdf part, you can find complete working example including camera part here Javascript Component to Scan Document
I would like to add a pdf file to the joomla media manager, and then select it as a full article image, so that I can get the link using json and echo it for every product, without having to manually add a pdf link every time.
However when I want to link the pdf file to an article, and browse to the folder where the pdf file is located, it says: 'No images found'.
Is it possible to add pdf files to an article instead of an image, using the media manager?
This is where I browse to my pdf file:

Hello #twan,
I can see only solution to your question is : PDF Embed Plugin from Techjoomla

Thanks,

i need a tuto about using pdf.js or viewejs to view pdf via browser. I found viewerjs.org but it doesn't help.
Any help thx in advance.
Try out pdf.js as it is very simple. Download the latest version here.
To show the pdf files traverse to web/viewer.html and it should load its default pdf.
As to the question about how to show your pdf's use: viewer.html?file=relative/path/to/your/pdf.
Say for example inside the web folder(the one in which viewer.html is there) of your pdf.js you create a directory say named pdfFiles and in it you add a pdf named say mypdf.pdf in it then to display it use: viewer.html?file=pdfFiles/mypdf.pdf and it will display it.
Almost all browsers are supported. Look here to know more about which all browsers are currently being supported.
Is there any alternative way to view PDF files on the web instead of using Acrobat Reader? I need to control the viewer to programmatically trigger the printing of the document.
The source of the PDF should come from a webservice URL / AspX
The easiest I would think is to use the Google Doc Viewer:
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=**PathToMyPdfFile.pdf**&embedded=true" width="600" height="780" style="border: none;"></iframe>
You need to host your PDF files somewhere online, may be in a file in your public website ( it needs to be a public site) and put the link to the PDF file in "PathToMyPdfFile.pdf" in the iFrame above. Then set the width and height you need.
Google even generates this code for you here:
https://docs.google.com/viewer
Then simply put this iframe anywhere in the body of your page where you want to display your PDF. This also supports many other file formats too.
There are quite a few options for document views online, some open source others proprietary. Personally, I've had good experiences with Flex Paper. This will allow you to include the document view on your website, and there are some developer resources which will allow you to integrate it with the functionality you're looking for.
For demos, see here: http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/demo/
You can use FoxIT PDF viewer. It's free and programmable.
How to display PDF thumbnails in ASP page
There is no built in functionality for ASP to process and manipulate PDF files. You will need to install a custom component on your server, make sure your webhost allows this, or ask them for a list of installed objects as they often have ones that will do what you want.
A good free on is GFlax:
http://download.cnet.com/GFLAx/3000-10248_4-10327603.html
It will allow you to chop a PDF up into seperate JPEG files, and from there you can get the object to resize the JPEGs into different thumbnail sizes for your needs.
The GFlax documentation should get you started.
Have you looked at this? Mapsoft ThumbNails
you can use Ghost script sharp for displaying pdf thumbnail . Here is the code
GhostscriptWrapper.GeneratePageThumb(filepath, thumbnailPath, 1, 20, 20);
