Phoca PDF Gallery

Post by LarKor »

Found Phoca PDF looking for a solution. I see a comment that Phoca PDF Phoca Gallery is "In Progress" Would like to know if this plug-in will solve my need.... and how soon will it be available?

I have an archive of weekly church bulletins. The bulletins are already PDF so I dont need to convert them. Each week the front page image is different so I wish to display Thumbnails of each document in a simple gallery; left to right, most recent date at the top left. Depending on thumbnail size, 6 or 7 across, then wrap to the next row below.

The PDF files are located in Joomla (1.6) images/bulletins. I would like to present the publish date (file name) below each thumbnail and the user would click on either the thumbnail or date to launch the link to the full PDF document using Adobe Reader. File name format is Bulletin.20111009

This application needs to be simple for a non-technical secretary to load the PDF file each week without the need to administer the back-end controls.

I do have other documents sent to me in MS Word that I currently convert to PDF using PrimoPDF. Your Phoca PDF product could save me this step.

Thanks, Larry

Hi, no Phoca PDF should print PDFs with images from Phoca Gallery.

If you search some gallery of your PDFs, try to use Phoca PDF, you can list files there where there will be download link and preview link for your PDFs, see e.g.:

Here's what I am trying to accomplish. This is from Scribd.com with a test set of my PDFs.

I wish to have the same gallery thumbnails of the PDF documents. Maybe this can be a Plug-In for Phoca Gallery?
