Image and Text PDF Sharing Tutorial
Onto yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Primer Tutorial “Image and Text PDF” creator start, today we wanted to link in with our previous Web Share API Primer Tutorial work to offer some of our users the chance to share their work. Yes, it’s some of our users here because the Web Share API interfacing does not work on all platforms and only works for https: protocol URLs.
Also in the winds today is the “uniquifying” of media filenames for their limited lifespan.
And in a wind (called Mariah) we convert our PDF to a JPEG image via the great ImageMagick …
convert -density 300 pdffilename.pdf pdffilename.jpg
… command line type of command (accessed via PHP exec conduit) along the way, because that might come in handy down the line.
And then, “down the line”, we realized that for Safari platform work where a PDF is shown within an HTML iframe scenario, that JPEG image can immediately help, it being that (onclick event) intermediary between the iframe and opening PDF in a new window (but not good in the iframe element).
See this in action with the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (still a blank webpage without the user interaction, at this first draft) PHP web application (helped out by the changed HTML and Javascript web_share_api_test.html Web Share API supervisor) you can also try below.
