Hi Bill If you have a look at the "Motovun Jack.pdf" tiddler in edit mode you'll see that it's a binary tiddler and that it's type is set to "application/pdf". Maybe this all happens automagically when you drag a pdf on to a TW? (import it into the TW document)
I don't know because I generally avoid embedding binary files in my TWs not to create a too big Tidddlywiki documents... Instead I would create a tiddler and set the type to "application/pdf" manually - simply write it in the type field if it doesn't appear in the drop down list already. Next I would create a new custom field: "_canonical_uri" and paste the URL to my web hosted pdf document (click add - or it won't be created). Usually I show pdfs via an iframe: <iframe width="100%" height="900" src="URL to my web hosted pdf document" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>. If I have a lot of pdfs to show I will create a global macro with the iframe like this: 1) Create a tiddler called eg $:/_iframe/macro (It doesn't matter what you call it) 2) Write something like this: \define iframe(url) <iframe width="100%" height="915" src="$url$" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> \end" 3) Tag it with $:/tags/Macro Now I can create an iframe with my pdf like this: <<iframe "URL to my web hosted pdf document">> in any tiddler. A more "involved version of the above macro could look like this: 1)Tiddler title eg $:/_iframe2/macro/link/fullscreen 2) Write: \define iframe2(url) [ext[Link|$url$]] {{$:/core/ui/Buttons/full-screen}} <iframe width="100%" height="900" src="$url$" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> \end Now I can create an iframe with my pdf like this: <<iframe2 "URL to my web hosted pdf document">> in any tiddler. I'll get a link to the pdf document and a button to open the tiddler in full screen mode at the top of the iframed pdf document. If I fetch all my pdfs from the same location I will add a "location snippet" to the macro like this: src="http://MyWebAddress/$url$.pdf" Then there is only very little to write: <<iframe "filename">>. Address and filetype is already set by the macro... Hope some of this helps - enjoy :-) Cheers Måns Mårtensson Den fredag den 27. februar 2015 kl. 21.32.28 UTC+1 skrev Bill Denbigh: > > Incidentally i did see the "Motovun Jack.pdf" tiddler inside of > tiddlywiki.com but can't figure out how it works.
