Preview of pdf files before downloading
Is it possible to have a preview of pdf files before downloading? Implemented on wilddusk.com/go-wild. Client is insisting that viewers should have a facility to preview pdf files. Also, is it possible to hide 'Display' button appearing before Download button?

Re: Preview of pdf files before downloading
What about preview in full screen mode, instead of inside lightbox? PDFs are usually text documents, reading is difficult in such a box, also it is difficult to know what dimensions to set for preview window?
Feature wish: File name as link and Preview button - Open/View in full screen, Download button - browser asking for download, or direct download.
This will make Phoca Download useful for storing pdf or other documents, now it is designed mainly for downloading files/executables/programs/components... etc.
Users of documents storages are mainly interested of preview function.

Hi, you can change easily the link to preview in code - instead of popup to direct link but then it depends on user's browser like it will open it.

Hi, did you:
- select a pdf for preview in edit of a file
- did you enable pdf preview function in Options? (Preview settings)
