Question : after clicking on “publish & view”, i can’t view in browser or mobile preview

Answer : Could be that you have a local firewall that is blocking the application from showing the preview, are you getting any other warnings ? And this is the same with all documents you tried?</p>

Question : Unable to upload pdf

Answer : Please contact us via email with a link to where you have deployed the viewer and we will have a look at your configuration ([email protected])</p>

Question : Can the software be used to create a stand alone HTML4 and HTML5 version of the PDF ?

Answer : Yes you can load a these resources stand alone without being connected. Contact us for a code sample on how to do this</p>

Question : Is it possible to add a “previous page” control to the FlexPaper toolbar?

Answer :

We don’t have any implementation for managing browser history built into the viewer but this is not hard to add since FlexPaper is a jQuery plugin. See the following link for suggestions on the best javascript history plugins

Simply call the $FlexPaper(‘documentViewer’).nextPage() and $FlexPaper(‘documentViewer’).prevPage() on navigation</p>

Answer :

Set the “allowFullScreen” attribute to true on your iframe tag if you want the viewer to be able to go into fullscreen from your iframe. See the code snippet below for an example on this:

Answer : We don’t have this as part of our current build but we have ongoing discussions around adding this and we can provide you with examples of how to create your own bookmarks if you want to – contact us via email for details on this</p>

Answer : Not quite sure what you mean but you can indeed load the viewer without setting this parameter. If the parameter isn’t set then FlexPaper will render them on the fly</p>
