Is there a way to have an iFrame with full toolbar except for the download button.
On the web I found this solution
<iframe src="URL#toolbar=0" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
But as u know it removes completely the toolbar and I would love to actually keep it.
CodePudding user response:
Mozilla browsers have no problem with Iframe, but browsers are configured by users to their security preferences.
<iframe id="page2" height="50%" width="100%"src="http://africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf#page=2"></iframe>
<iframe id="page1" height="50%" width="100%"src="http://africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf#page=1"></iframe>
Same as the web page text and images, Audio or Video content, all pdfs are "Download first to view" does not matter if
- A=Href
- Embed
- Iframe
- Object (avoid as depreciated)
- cUrl (Users direct get)
So why remove the button if its not showing in the frame due to any ad blocker or other user setting such as send downloads into external secured PDF viewer
Mozilla browser with pdf plugin or add-in or PDF extender same as Chrome/Edge
FireFox with a frame blocker active for the same page 3 blocked items.
If you wish to change the Iframe view you need to be the PDF viewer application, but there is no guarantee it is the one the user is viewing within.
Here is a demo of a browser viewer where the download and print buttons are removed. However Browsers need to allow the user to control their own view so I have also opened the download on the right in a companion viewer. A PDF client cannot view a PDF unless it is Decrypted after a download thus their copy is available for view and edit.
