myrddinwylt Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If you are looking to simply generate links to PDF's for viewing/etc in the browser, the simplest way IMO: http://docs.google.com/viewer?url= So for example, if you wish to view http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/89-599-m/89-599-m2006003-eng.pdf , you would use the following http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/89-599-m/89-599-m2006003-eng.pdf The only condition is the file has to be accessible online somewhere.
