Unable to Access local .pdf/.txt files on Raspberry Pi #16

pandeyprakhar00 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I tried opening .txt & .pdf files by typing the following commands in url section : file:///home/pi/Desktop/File.pdf

Assuming that i have the file placed on Desktop named "File.pdf" In the debug window i got the following message : GET http://0.0.0.0:8080/home/pi/Desktop/File.pdf 404 (Not Found)

Please correct me if i am making any mistake. Thanks in advance ! :-)

Hello,

I never try something like that, but I will be surprised that it can work !

Try to put your pdf file into google doc (or another web service) and use that link into the MagicMirror, probably better chances !

More globally my module is using iFrames, so you can also ask google how to display pdf files within an iFrame, it can gives you some advices.

Let me know !

Bye, AgP

I tried using google drive, However got this message :

Refused to display 'https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TxK9d4JswiPOuCFZ1XL0e3MKY6CJNaSj/view?usp=drive_open' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

I will google some other options and let you know.

Tried various options but none of them seems to work for me..

Ok then sorry, it is probably not compatible with pdf !

pandeyprakhar00 commented 4 years ago

I got a work around for pdf's, first we need to upload the PDF to

Yumpu.com

And then copy the embed link.. it's works for me.. :-)
