roattw Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I have many PDFs on our site (embedded as uploaded PDFs with a link to file option in the text). In Acrobat the PDFs have their Initial View size settings set to 200%. But when opened in SQSP they only open at standard 100%. All other web apps honor the PDF view settings. Is this behavior exclusive to SQSP? Thanks! Link to comment

roattw Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Sorry for the delayed response. For example, on this page: https://www.tamingthesru.com/clinical-practice-guidelines This PDF is set for an initial view of 200%. https://www.tamingthesru.com/s/AgileMD-Chest-Pain-Acut-Coronar-Syndrome-110922.pdf Link to comment

But when opened in SQSP they only open at standard 100%. As far as I know, browsers ignore the Adobe setting and open at a zoom of their choosing. For example, Chrome typically opens the PDF at 100% but if you add #zoom=200 at the end of the link, it should open at 200%. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53c1a2cce4b0e88e61f99b70/t/636bdfb7d3b96b67565211c8/1668014007371/AgileMD-Chest-Pain-Acut-Coronar-Syndrome-110922.pdf#zoom=200 roattw 1 About: SQSP User for 17 yrs.

roattw Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the update. That makes sense. Seems like in v7 SQSP (or the browser at the time) seemed to honor it. We just noticed it in the past year so the browser is probably culprit. On first try, it looks like the browser, or HTML in general, doesnt allow query parameters and strips out the = and # sings so renaming it: Acute-Coronary-Syndrome-110922#zoom=200.pdf becomes Acute-Coronary-Syndrome-110922%23zoom%3D200.pdf Edited November 15, 2022 by roattw Link to comment
pfr Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Could you briefly explain please: "I have many PDFs on our site (embedded as uploaded PDFs with a link to file option in the text)" The pdf's are stored at your SQSP site? I need to do something like this if possible. Ideally I would like to publish directly the pdf files with enabled Hyperlinks option. Thank you in advance! Link to comment
roattw Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Correct. When you make a hyperlink in SQSP, and set it to Dile (as opposed to web address), there is an option to Upload File and set the link to be a document link to that uploaded file. The file management is less than ideal in SQSP though. Im thinking about putting all prospective file links on another webserver where I can create logical folder organizations. Finding a file once uploaded into the SQSP abyss is painful. You can make an index for files storage, but thats just another convoluted step IMO. Link to comment
