Hi Anil,
We run DSpace 1.6.2 at the Brasiliana Digital Library (
http://www.brasiliana.usp.br/bbd). Having mainly PDF documents (and some
JPEG images), we sought out some way to allow the user to view the documents
without having to download them, specially because our PDFs can get quite
large (they are scanned historical books).
We have implemented a set of solutions in order to get a PDF viewer and an
images viewer in our XMLUI theme, which in turn we have customized rather
deeply. We used the Adore
Djatoka<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/djatoka/index.php>image
server with modifications to also serve normal JPEG files via JAI and
PDF files via ImageMagick (originally, Djatoka only serves JPEG2000 and TIFF
files).
At the client side we used two javascript viewers, one for PDFs and another
for images. For PDFs we customized the Internet Archive
BookReader<http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader>,
and for images we customized the Djatoka version of the IIPImage
viewer<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/djatoka/index.php?title=Viewers>
.
Besides modifying a large part of the XMLUI module, in which we also
included the Discovery module (since we were using DSpace 1.6.2), we also
had to modify a small part of the DSpace core in order to allow
communication between Djatoka and DSpace (essentially, to make it possible
to get the files' paths at the assetstore).
There are, of course, still lots of improvements to be done, but we are
planning on packing everything and making it available, so that more people
could try it and maybe help fixing and improving it.
To see it in action:
- For PDFs: http://www.brasiliana.usp.br/bbd/handle/1918/00624510;
- For images: http://www.brasiliana.usp.br/bbd/handle/1918/624510002.
Things may get slow sometimes, and the interface is only available in
Portuguese right now. But you should be able to get most of the ideas behind
the system.
If you happen to get interested, we can continue communication and try out
some collaboration. That would be great.
Best regards,
Fabio Kepler

Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers
to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and,
should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database
