Create PDF and Reader Open Parameters

Good morning Jason,

I agree, and I’m using the same FF browser for all my testing.

I’m sorry if it seems that I’m beating on this to excess, but let me back track a bit...

I’d like to be able to pass open parameters to the PDF reader using the url_as_inline_pdf code, as I'm able to using the output_as_inline_pdf.

The basic issues are that:

_____________________________________________________

I can always get the added open parameters to work for the the output_as_inline_pdf code.

In the head of my viewer:

<?php if (@$_REQUEST['pdf']) { createPDF_fromOutput('inline', 'example.pdf'); } ?>

In the body of my viewer:

<?php if (@$_REQUEST['pdf']): ?>&nbsp;<?php else: ?><a href="http://my_site.com/about.php? pdf=1&<?php echo $my_tableRecord['num'] ?>#toolbar=1&navpanes=1&scrollbar=1&zoom=100">CLICK TO CONVERT THIS PAGE TO A PDF</a><?php endif ?>

Example: http://50.6.159.105/about.php

____________________________________________________

But I can’t seem to get the parameters to work at all with the url_as_inline_pdf code.

Original code:

<?php
$url = "http://www.my_site.com/about3.php";
$data = createPDF_fromUrl($url);
createPDF_display('inline', $data, 'example.pdf');
?>

As modified per your suggestion: (pdf_parameters value: #zoom=185)

<?php
$url = "http://www.elleschorrphotography.com/exhibitions3.php";
$addon = $common_informationRecord['pdf_parameters'] ;
$data = createPDF_fromUrl($url);
createPDF_display('inline',$data, 'example.pdf'.$addon);
?>

Example: http://www.elleschorrphotography.com/exhibitions4.php

I’ve also tried using a command line switch with this code to no avail.

<?php
$GLOBALS['CREATEPDF_CUSTOM_SWITCHES'] = '--zoom 50';
$url = "http://www.elleschorrphotography.com/exhibitions3.php";
$data = createPDF_fromUrl($url);
createPDF_display('inline', $data, 'example.pdf');
?>

Example: http://www.elleschorrphotography.com/exhibitions7.php

I can only assume that my zoom syntax is wrong, because if I substitute –toc for --zoom 50 a table of contents is generated.

Example: http://www.elleschorrphotography.com/exhibitions8.php

The wkhtmltopdf help docs specify the format to be: --zoom <float> Use this zoom factor (default 1)

No matter what syntax I’ve tried, --zoom 50%, [--zoom 50], and both with commas after ‘zoom, I get errors.

Wow, am I lost.

Thanks for your continued help.
