Should the originating PDFs used for the zine be 300dpi or 72dpi?

Question : Why am I getting javascript errors?

Answer : The first issue is most likey coming from a issue with a build we fixed recently. It should be fixed if you re-download the 2.2.9 build and if its not then contact us and we’ll direct you to a build where its not occuring.

The second issue is most likely a issue with your PDF2JSON installation and with the permissions on your server. Check so that the server side scripts are able to write to your working directory and it should go away.</p>

Question : Setting FitWidthOnLoad parameter not working

Answer : Looks like everything is correct. Send us a email (to [email protected]) with the complete url to where you have deployed the viewer and we’ll have a closer look.</p>
