Inline view of PDF in static page possible?

[twa]

Describe the issue or problem
I’d like to integrate an inline view (the file should be displayed instead of downloaded) of a PDF (or Word) file in a static page (such as “About the Journal” page). Is this possible and how can I achieve this?

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0.13

Thanks,
Tobias

You’ll need javascript to load a library like PDF.js in order to accomplish this. There are at least two possible approaches:

• Relax the HTML Purifier restrictions in config.inc.php and in the code to allow entry of javascript in the text editor.
  • Prior discussion: Put video on first page ojs3
• Load some custom javascript on every page via the Custom Headers plugin, and use that javascript to look for a condition (like an a tag with extra data attributes) on the page you want to render the PDF.
  • Custom Headers documentation with Twitter example :https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/settings-website#custom-header-plugin
