PDF on desktop

[JL]

Embedding pdfs using the methods described at Tiddlywiki.com / embed pdfs and other documents doesn't seem to work on Tiddly Desktop. I guess this is because Desktop doesn't have a pdf renderer?

Works for me, drag and drop on a TW5 on my screen because of TiddlyDesktop!

Sorry for late reply.

If I do drag and drop, I get an Acrobat error & a javascript error.

If I use the canonical uri method (which I'd prefer), I get the same Acrobat error, but no javascript error.

Acrobat is not the default pdf reader on my system (OSX).

In firefox, the pdf tiddler was blank, but followed these instructions from Mozilla to fix.

Thinking it must be the Acrobat NPAPI plugin, I removed AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin & AdobePDFViewer.plugin from /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ , but Acrobat error persists in TW Desktop

So I'm still stuck

I serve it from Google docs

Thanks, that could be a workaround.

JL,

TiddlyDesktop has its own browser (A branch of code which includes chrome I believe) which should use the local machines PDF handling. If you can reinstall your PDF reader it may resolve things.

I tried to replicate this but I need to reboot my computer.
