Hello DNN-community,

1) Which PDF-Viewers for "DNN Platform" would you advice? I search for a simple lighweight PDF-Viewer that can display a PDF in DNN in a new browser tab and has a zoom function. Both cost-free and non cost-free modules are of interest.

2) I also search for a more complicated module - a Flippingbook (german Blätterkatalog). It should be able to display a ready Flippingbook (a collection of HTML- and Javascript-files). Or it should create a Flippingbook suitable for DNN.
The flippingbook should be integrated not as an iFrame, but as a DNN module.

Have you made good experiences with some modules and could advice them?

Best regards, Adele

Adele,

I was looking for something like this as well a while ago - and did not find any specific solution as a DNN module.

But it should be possible (and not too complicated) to integrate a JS library like GitHub - loicminghetti/touchpdf: PDF viewer supporting touch gestures for jQuery using 2sxc or OpenContent.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

How about something free like:

This will use the browser pdf viewer which does vary between browsers.
