How to unload a PDF?

There are times where I want to stop viewing a PDF in our app as the user will be doing other actions, like viewing other media.So I want to unload a PDF from the Viewer so as to release resources but may return to view another PDF later.How can I do that?  TIARob

APP_RENDERING_FAILED

Is this the right place for a Feature Request 🙂If a pdf fails to load/render an event type 'APP_RENDERING_FAILED' is fired but there is no indication of why it failed.It would be useful to at least know if it failed becuase the file wasn't found or access was denied or it was corrupt and failed to parse/render.This would help support to deal with users. TIARob

google web apps embed pdf credentials fail

I have a google web apps script that delivers a web page and am trying to embed the pdf viewer to display pdf's from google drive, but am failing even with the example code. I have created a credential for the gsuite user running the apps script, and the script works without the embedded viewer.  When i run it with the embedded viewer I get an error message, how can i make this work / get the right credentials?  error message is - File preview not available; This application domain (https://n-w7drqfmvzgqptnxawu3wfueo6gcdcos4n6gmjxy-0lu-script.googleusercontent.com) is not authorized to use the provided PDF Embed API Client ID.

Use PDF Embed API behind a firewall

Just started to look at using the API to replace our current pdf viewer in our commercial web app.In some cases we have to run our app on a web server that is behind a firewall, will this solution work in that instance or does it always require an open access to the internet?ThanksRob

Update Member information to Excel Spreadsheet

I am the membership coordinator for a relatively small organization.  I need a way to email a form to members, asking them to update their basic personal information: name, addy, email, phone.  I also need them to verify that they have paid dues and when.  I have an Excel Membership roster already and I would like this form to update that spreadsheet automatically.  Can I use Adobe forms to do this?  I am not an Adobe or Excel expert.

Hello,We are a document service company and recieve large print jobs that consist of mostly pdf's. Sometimes these documents have several page sizes in one pdf and are a mixture of black and white and color. Some clients request a quote for the job before and this can be a long time consuming process.Is there a batch function or adobe app that can analyze PDF documents for page size and give you a list of all page sizes found ? Also is there a function that can detect visible color and not coded color, as in you can scan a black and white document in color, it will still look black and white but when printed on a color printer will usecolor tonner and not black and white tonner. Thanks.

Questions

Using the PDF Embed API with a list of pdfs

Hello, I am new to the PDF Embed API and I am not really a developer, but I am pretty good at playing around and figuring things out. I am playing with the PDF Embed API. We have long lists of downloadable pdfs for our products. I would like to have one column of pdf links on a side panel, and when one of our customers clicks on a link, have the linked to pdf open in the embedded window, which is located in the main column of the product page. So far I can have one snippet of code for one link, but I would like to have different links open up in the embedded window as a customer clicks on them. I am trying to get away from our customers opening new tabs or navigating away from our webpage as they look through our downloadables. How do I adjust the code to support this?

PDF Embed API - Annotation & Search

Hi Adobe Forum,We have a unique request, not sure if it's possible, but would appreciate some guidance if it is.1. When adding an annotation, is it possible to get the selected text from that annotation, not only the bounding boxes?2. Is it possible to programatticaly do a text search in a document?3. If yes, is it possible to limit search to the current page you are on, and not the complete document? Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated! PS: Love what the people at Adobe are doing!!!

Clone and render the PDF Embed API in local

Hi,We are trying to integrate the PDF Embed API into our website to enhance the client experience of viewing the PDF documents. We have followed the guidelines from Adobe documentation to obtain the client ID registered to our domain.We have realized that we have to include "https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk/main.js" script to render the PDF viewer (This script internally makes multiple calls to other script files). Our firm has restrictions loading the above script and our cyber team has raised concerns over including a third party script in our website. Is there any way, we can download the PDF Embed API scripts to our code repository and start consuming without making any request to https://documentcloud.adobe.com. Note: We are using Adobe Experience Manager to build our website. Please let us know any alternative approach/options. Thanks in advance.

Custom tracking on embedded PDF

Hi,I'm using an external analytics API on my site. For it to be able to track activity in iframes, they say I need to include the tracking code into said iframes as well. In other cases, even for iframes from other domains, this simple thing worked:<iframe src="..."> <script> //tracking code </script> </iframe> But with the PDF Embed API I'm starting with a div, in which the iframe is created dynamically. Is there any way I can get my tracking code there?I tried adding the tracking code into the iframe.innerHTML after it's created but that doesn't seem to work for the tracking...Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to hide the header and page controls in the DC View SDK?

I would like to use a set of custom buttons outside the viewer to navigate through the document, and hide the viewer's interface. The showPageControls parameter doesn't seem to do anything when embedMode is SIZED_CONTAINER.  Can the page controls be hidden? There is an undocumented showTopBar parameter in the JavaScript code, but it doesn't seem to do anything, either.  Can the top bar be hidden?
