I will have a page that will regularly updated by a client (using something like TinyMCE), adding links to PDF files that I want to open in a lightbox on the page. Does code to make this a lightbox need to have the link of each PDF inside it or will the code cover any PDF links on the page? I am relativly new to lightboxes in general and was wondering if this is possible, thanks.
I believe PDF is too much for lightbox, use ThickBox with iframes instead.

Is it possible to access the DOM of a embedded PDF file opened in Chrome?
If you simply open the DevTools in Chrome, only the EMBED tag is visible:
But there is a mouse over PDF file opened in Chrome and right-click => code view, then a completely different page code opens:
Can I get access to it?
Thank you in advance!
Yeah so it looks like you've got multiple documents on a page. Its similar to iFrames in web design. I'm not sure 100% because I cant look through the link.
But I'd highly recommend downloading the PDF as a file, then using ADOBE Pro's library to scrape or w/e with the PDF functions. You eliminate the whole aspect of timing, page loads, and page changes, when you get a direct link to a pdf, and then manipulate the data on the user or cloud PC.
I need to open a PDF in the client.
The PDF its generated in my Controller (i have no problem with that) and i need to show that PDF inside a layout (not a window).

You could show the pdf in a SmartGWT component using an IFrame.
See this sample and this forum.
I am trying to do something like this
leafletoverimage.
Currently I am using background image and angular-leaflets tool for the click and comment.
I am trying to find out a way where I can have pdf file actually rendering on browsers, and able to click on different section of pdf file, have popover and enter comment about that section.
This is similar to what https://app.fieldlens.com/ and www.plangrid.com is doing.
is there something available in angularjs or any other solution is appreciated.
I've worked on a requirement that allows me to show a PDF file inside a browser by doingo a Response.ContentType = "application/pdf".
The problem is that the default view of the PDF is always showing the bookmarks menu at the left, is there a way by using HTTP headers or something to tell the PDF viewer not to show the bookmarks section?
Thanks in advance.
There's two ways that you can do it. The way that I would recommend is to actually open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and go to File, Properties. On the Initial View tab you'll see a lot of options for how to display the PDF. The second way I haven't tested but Adobe says you can pass various querystring options to the PDF. The one you'd probably want is http://example.org/doc.pdf#pagemode=none
The way how a PDF document is displayed can be configured inside the PDF document.
There are a lot of PDF editors that can modify the "viewer preferences" as it is mostly called. One free example is BeCyPDFMetaEdit.
I have a PDF document that needs to be pulled up in the browser, edited, and saved. I can save via the embedded adobe toolbar, along with all the other acrobat functions. But, what I am trying to see is if there is a way to display the PDF in a webpage alongside web controls.
For example, in the top part of the webpage I have a dropdownlist. It has a list of PDFs. I select one and the bottom part of the webpage opens up with the PDF.
Thanks.
Are you looking for something like Scribd's iPaper viewer?
You can embed it on your site or host with them.
This is typically done with an iframe.
Sorry, you'll have to use either Frames, or iFrames. Perhaps you can also get it via an <object> tag, but that might get browser-specific.
I would contact the people at ceTe (makers of DynamicPDF). Their product permits you to dynamically replace your page output with a PDF file but this involves changing the entire page (the mime-type will be pdf). Is it possible to output the page to a panel instead? I don't think so, but they would be the people I would turn to.
