VBGallery & *.pdf Files

InterFX · January 28th, 2006, 10:55 AM

I have the following...

How do I upload or use a preview images of the *.pdf files? They will all start to run together after I add multiple *.pdfs...

If this will not work, how do I configure this category to just show them in a list format???

Thanks -

Good question. I have no answer yet, but I'll do some reading.

I played more with it, and have not find any other good solutions yet... Anyone else out there have some ideas?

Zachariah -

Did you ever have any other ideas on this... Still not sure what is the best solution w/ VB Gallery

The list view will be the simpler fix.
- add template and few settings.

Maybe - Dropdown Category Tools -> list view / thumb view (toggle) ?

Thumbs of PDF's will take a little more.
- Perhaps even 3rd party.

Would require some hacking...

Essentially if the site was using ImageMagick instead of GD and if the site installed Ghostscript then the code could be changed to add PDF to the types of files that get a thumbnail generated for it.
