The PDFEmbed extension allows PDF files (uploaded to your wiki) to be embedded into a wiki page using <pdf></pdf> tags. The PDF file extension is automatically added and necessarily default permissions are configured. Future functionality will allow this extension to act as a media handler for PDF files.

Installation

• Download and extract the file(s) in a directory called PDFEmbed in your extensions/ folder. If you're a developer and this extension is in a Git repository, then instead you should clone the repository.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

require_once "$IP/extensions/PDFEmbed/PDFEmbed.php";

• Done! Navigate to "Special:Version" on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

If the default configuration needs to be altered add these settings to the LocalSettings.php file below the require:

//Default width for the PDF object container.
$pdfEmbed['width'] = 800;
 
//Default height for the PDF object container.
$pdfEmbed['height'] = 1090;

Usage Example

The PDF to be embedded must first be uploaded to the wiki through "Special:Upload". The namespace prefixed file name is then used between the tags to embed it in a page.

<pdf>File:Example.pdf</pdf>

With optional width and height.

<pdf width="500" height="300">File:Example.pdf</pdf>
