Visual Composer and PDFs

[Dietmar]

Hi there,

how can I place PDFs with the Visual Composer?

If you’re talking about links to them, then you can add the link using text box or perhaps a button or even an icon.

An icon would be nice, but icons in the composer are font characters!

[sharmstr]

Sorry, I dont understand why that’s a problem. Add the icon you want and type the link to your pdf file in the “add a link” box.

Ok, again:
How can the .PDF shown in a Lightbox?

[sharmstr]

🙂 That’s very different than your original question. Try adding this to the link rel=”prettyPhoto”. Let me know if it works.

According to the prettyPhoto docs, you should be able to open a pdf using iFrames. I’ve tried do it, even by initiating a custom prettyPhoto instance, but I get the same error. I think it has something do with the prettyPhoto being loaded in magnificPopup and the error is actually coming from that plugin and not prettyPhoto. So then I tested my own instance of magnificPopup and still couldnt get it to work.

Sorry

OK, I will try something different 🙁

[sharmstr]

The kleo guys might know how to do it, so leave this topic unresolved. Good luck.
