I have a question about PDF files with Jquery.
Though most browsers has an embedded PDF Viewer, but what i need is something totally different.
while i was browsing IKEA Catalouge http://onlinecatalogue.ikea.com/TR/tr/IKEA_Catalogue/
i found it simple and professional, viewing the catalouge this way is so easy and nice, but on the other hand it's using Flash which I don't recommend !
So, is there any possible way to read the content of a PDF File using Jquery and then i will write the arrow keys function to go to the next page or go back and so on ?
Waiting your help and Ideas.

I am looking for ways to present a PDF file in the browser but make it not downloadable or printable.
If someone really goes through all the trouble to disable the JavaScript library or anything like that, that is fine. This is more for the reason that the content within the PDF will be updated regularly so if you download it it will be out of date by the next day.
I also cannot rely on marking the pdf as protected or encryption as a reasonable way to accomplish this.
If you have any library recommendations or anything else it would be appreciated. I am currently exploring if it is feasible using PDF.js and ViewerJS
I was able to find a solution using ViewerJS and this CSS. The CSS shows a blank page when you try to print (ViewerJS already distorts it to a non-printable state) and ViewerJS prevents you from downloading as a PDF file and instead tries to save as an HTML file.
This meets the requirements of making it just inconvenient enough to discourage users from trying to download the file since the file is always easily accessible on almost any page of the site.

I would like to generate a PDF portfolio using JS from an HTML/CSS page on a local machine. I would use a PDF template file which includes a PDF portfolio Navigator in SWF form. I have successfully accomplished this using C# and a command line program, but can not identify the proper Javascipt components to do this browser-side or pseuo-server with Node.js. Basically, I am looking for something which will allow me to append a PDF to a new or existing PDF via configuration choices and an 'assemble' action using a JS or HTML button. iTextSharp provides the required PDF interaction functionality, but I can not figure out to run this inside an HTML to allow configuration via the HTML/CSS DOM (i.e. checkboxes, text field desciptors, etc...). Does a library with this type of functionality exist?
So you want to create a PDF using JavaScript?
On a quick google search, I found what appears to be a javascript library for creating and manipulating PDFs call jsPDF
If you want information on how to upload files with JavaScript alone, here is an article on how to do that. It also shows you how to use the file element.
For style, I recommend using a CSS Framework is you don't know much about CSS. I personally use Twitter Bootstrap for quickly prototyping things. It's quick and easy, and has good documentation. You can also use this to see how to make a form in HTML. I haven't got any good starter tutorials for HTML off the top of my list, sorry.
If you don't know much about JavaScript, when it comes to getting the options from the form, so that you can use them as configuration options, I'd suggest using the jQuery framework. It'll help you get up and running quickly enough
Note, all of this shouldn't replace basic training in JavaScript and HTML/CSS. Frameworks make things simpler, but if you don't know how to do something without a framework, you're going to have a hard time with a lot of the more complicated things. This goes for every language
I'm trying to send stuff for people to look at that includes HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Jquery, but I don't know how to send it to people so they can check it out without creating a website and buying a domain and having them see it there. Is there a way to send it so people can actually look at it (not just the code) or is there a different work around?
You could open a site with 000webhost for free and upload them there. I daresay that's not actually off line but it might be handy anyway.
Put it all in a folder, zip it, email it to them, tell them to decompress it and click on the HTML file. It will open in their default browser. Alternatively, if you need to get something from the web, you can put it in a JSFiddle
I have a script already for uploading pictures, but I want the ability to select more pictures at once on upload,by holding down ctrl,I know I can use uploadify but I don't want to start over, mabe you guys know a script or something for jquery, that will work without to remove the current code, or you guys could give me a snippet.
The ability to slect multiple files in entirely the browsers features. Which cannot be changed by using a Javascript or css or html. Using uploadify or similar as you mentioned in your question is the right way to go.
You know uploadify also uses the swfobject.js, to overcome this limitation by using an actionscript instead.
You could write your own upload system in javascript with ajax. See http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/
Basic workflow
get local file contents
push to server via ajax
With this you could do a multi-file select and/or drag and drop upload system. Best and maybe only solution if you want to stay in javascript.
I am trying to implement pdf annotation with ipad using uiwebview. I am able to load the pdf file but i am not able to use the functions. I felt that i am able to use javascript with uiwebview and implement the things,but then found saying that javascript is not available for pdf file.
http://www.icab.de/blog/2010/01/12/search-and-highlight-text-in-uiwebview/comment-page-3/#comment-7600
Can you help me with some solution if possible. I am now really in need of some solutions.
Thank you.
Alas, you can't do anything about PDF shown in a UIWebView.
You need to work hard parsing PDF files and manipulating it.
