show pdf file in website

[mrkhan]

Hello ,

i am working on website where i need to upload PDF file with each product, its pretty standard i think

here is what i am doing 

1. i have created a new file type field name "pdf_file" and assign it to product template.

for showing PDF file in website , after searching this forum i have come to this solution , please guide me if its wrong.

1. i have created a new template name "pdf"

2. i have created a new page from "pdf" template and its url is "site/pdf", also i have allow the URL Segments.

3. now from my product page i have created a link to open pdf file like this "site/pdf/page_id"

3. in "pdf.php" file i have bellow code

<?php 
$pfile1=$input->urlSegment1;
$pfile=$pages->get($pfile1);
if($pfile->pdf_file->url){
$options = array(
    'exit' => true, 
    'forceDownload' => false, 
    'downloadFilename' => '',
    );
    wireSendFile($pfile->pdf_file->url,$options);
}

when this page open i got following error

Error: Exception: File does not exist (in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/site1/wire/core/Functions.php line 536)

i am not sure i am doing proper & secure way to display PDF file on website. as i said earlier what i actually want to do is Display PDF file in new tab when click on PDF icon from website in secure way.

 

Thanks for helping always.

What do you mean by "secure"? The normal way to do it would be this:

echo "<a href='{$page->pdf_file->url}' target="_blank">PDF</a>";

// or for a multi file field
echo "<a href='{$page->pdf_file->eq(0)->url}' target="_blank">PDF</a>";
