Joomla good PDF viewer - pdf

I'm searching for a good PDF viewer for Joomla, the problem is when there is a module in an article all the PDF viewers I tried so far show: {loadposition myposition} in place of that module.
Does anybody know a PDF viewer that will show the module.
I would also like it to have a header and footer option.
Thx.

I suspect that your extensions 'might' not be the sole source of your troubles.
Have you installed "Modules Anywhere" from nonumber.nl?
I recommend you try that first before assuming that the problem lies in your extensions.
Here is the appropriate link: http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/modulesanywhere
Install it, and make sure the editor plugin is also installed and enabled (Modules Anywhere may perform these steps upon installation), then open up the content item you wish to inject your module into and use the module selection tool provided to you by the editor plugin.
After you perform this test, you can more reliably assume that your PDF related modules are the culprits.
Good luck!

Intelij Ultimate 2019.2 JAXB

I have read how to generate a schema from a java class but the menu items mention dont exist. Information is given on how to enable the Web Services plug in which it says is built in, but I cant find it. I expect this is why the menu item under tools do not appear when the source file is open in the editor.
I cannot find the any plugin for JAXB.
The instructions I am trying to follow are at https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/generating-xml-schema-from-java-code.html
At
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/generate-xml-schema-from-java-using-jaxb-dialog.html
It says "This functionality is provided via the WebServices bundled plugin, which is enabled by default." but I dont see it in the list of installed plugins!
Must be doing something wrong but now out of ideas for what to try next.
Any suggestions?

Module Selection tab is missing in Prestashop 1.7.4

I've just installed two instances of Prestashop on my local server from the same downloaded zip. However on one install, the module "selection" tab is missing, preventing me from installing modules placed into the module folder.
I've tried clearing the cache folder to no avail.
Would appreciate any insight into the matter.
Kind Regards

That's a bug!
Waiting for the team to fix it.
But here is a work around:
Access the installed modules tab.
Above in the url, change manage with catalog as follow:
And finally, if you want to search a module you are building, or any other module, directly search it using the search bar (the category menu, can suffer problems, it doesn't show well, you can use the developer inspector, and change the css (set the z-index to a big number, something like 5000)), so it can be shown if you want! but it's faster to directly search for what you want.
And here you can see your module, you are building. If that's what you're searching, you can install it too.

Embed a PDF in github/gitlab wiki

I'm using gitlab to manage my repositories which has been quite pleasant so far. However the wiki could use a fair amount of improvement IMO.
It's really annoying when you already have documentation that you simply want to add to the wiki. Translating a table or pdf to gitlab flavored markdown can be time consuming and non-trivial.
My question is two-fold.
Has anyone had luck embedding files (specifically pdf's) into their github/gitlab wiki? This should definitely be possible on gitlab but is their an easy way to do it? I have a documentation repo set up, it would be awesome to embed files linked from the documentation repo.
If not embedding files into the pages. How do you efficiently translate a document to gitlab flavored markdown?
Had the same issue and landed here, maybe this helps somebody.
I didn't find a way to embed the .pdf into a page but what I did was to add the .pdf to the wiki folder (like a normal page). Initially this didn't show up in the sidebar nor was it searchable from Github.
It is possible however to link it directly from other pages or a custom sidebar (see for example osquery's wiki for a nice sidebar). Clicking on the link allows you to download the .pdf (didn't find a way to preview it in the browser)
It is possible that such action type is not allowed only in cloud gitlab version, cause gitlab-gollum lib documentation describes it so:
[[Gollum|gollum.pdf]]
I use Gitlab (self hosted) capabilities to render MarkDown pages regularly for documenting my projects.
The best way to copy paste html or pdf documentation and translate into perfectly formatted MarkDown is to use Typora. Typora has these very useful capabilities:
Support for Gitlab TOC rendering (i.e. [[_TOC_]])
copy and paste from HTML pages to MarkDown
upload of images
IMO is very easy to use for documentation with GitLab.

download indirect link file with visual basic .net

To download a file from internet using vb.net there is a couple of methods to make it works, but the problem is that some of links are having problem while downloading and i think problem is that links are not directly, so is there anyway to download file with indirect links thank you :)
HttpWebClient.AllowAutoRedirect allows for automatic redirection. However, AllowAutoRedirect defaults to true, so you may need to look elsewhere in your code.

How to create firefox3 sidebar?

Hi I want to create sidebar in Firefox 3 but have no clue how to do this.
I find tutorial on MDC (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Creating_a_Firefox_sidebar) but after installation extension do not work with "not compatible with Firefox 3.0.3" error.
Does anybody have any tip or link to some resource about how to make sidebar?
Well, a Firefox extension, be it a sidebar, toolbar or whatever other type of extension is basically a mix of XUL and Javascript, all packaged nice and tidy into an installer package called an XPI.
For an excelent XUL tutorial see http://xulplanet.mozdev.org/tutorials/xultu/.
For information about building extensions and the package format see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Building_an_Extension.
For a sidebar you basically have to override the browser's sidebar area by using an overlay. For good overlay information check out MDC and the excerpt at http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mozilla/excerpt/FirefoxHacks_chap01/.
All you need except the links above is knowledge of XML, some Javascript and a creative mind.
To fix the problem you faced above, you have to specify the correct version of Firefox in the install.rdf file. For Firefox 3 set maxVersion to:
<em:maxVersion>3.*</em:maxVersion>
