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?

Hi, this is the default feature, you can display preview button on your site, see:

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.

wilddusk.com/go-wild/category/3-nature-tour. Getting Details, Download but not Preview feature.

Hi, did you:

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