Yes, first what you need to do is upload the PDF to your File Manager. Then, open the page where you want users to click on the PDF and put it in edit mode. In your content area, create a link to your PDF by highlighting the name of your pdf (ie, Click here for PDF) and clicking "Add File" in the editor. When the File Manager opens up, find your PDF, select it, and pick "Choose" from the top left dropdown. This will take you back to your editor, and you will see that the wording you highlights (Click here for PDF) is now a link. Highlight the words again and click on the icon that looks like a little link, and it will open up a little window. Under the General tab, in the Target field, select "Open in New Window" and publish the page. The link to your PDF should now open the PDF.

I'm more looking for something like what i already have here:http://plav-gusinje.nl/index.php/about/incassomachtiging/... .
i'm using a google docs addon to do that, but it doesn't work for internet explorer. So is there another way to do that? with the php block maybe?

Unfortunately, users can set their browsers to either open PDF's in their browser or in a separate window. Their browser obeys them, not the developer. That link you provided is displaying images of the document, not the PDF itself.

Wish I could be more helpful. I've tried this myself and have had no luck.

mhawke, I think you're right, because I tried to find an IE friendly solution for Google Docs and right now, it's just not happening until IE decides to update their permissions I believe. That's why (although it's not ideal) I think putting the PDF directly in the Concrete file system is the way to go.

I do this almost daily. I use a PDF reader driver found on the internet . Install it and it becomes a selectable reader option.Then you can view PDFs in any program at all, including Adobe Acrobat . Just open a PDF, select view, then you can read all your pdf files. if you haven't found a good choice , you can have a try. best wishes.

If anyone is still looking for this it's easy - just upload the pdf - copy the url for it and make an iFrame inside an HTML block

If someone is still interested, see my free plugin at the marketplace:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/pdf-viewer...

Does your plugin support 5.7.x?

I'm not sure how micrdy feels about this but I have modified his free package to work in my 5.7 test installation. I can post the zip here if micrdy is OK with that.
