Basically, is there a method on the $item that let's me grab dcterms:format info?</a> </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/using-pdf-documents#post-377 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:26:17 +0000 SheilaBrennan 377@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Hi mdowns, </p> <p>Have you modified your items/show page in the design theme files to view the documents on your public site? </p> <p>In case you haven't seen them, there are instructions in our How To section: </p> <p><a href="http://omeka.org/codex/IPaper_plugin" rel="nofollow">http://omeka.org/codex/IPaper_plugin</a><br /> <a href="http://omeka.org/codex/PdfMeNot_plugin" rel="nofollow">http://omeka.org/codex/PdfMeNot_plugin</a></p> <p>As for exhibits, unfortunately the exhibit builder is not equipped with a document viewer, like you can use in the archive. Images will appear in your exhibits, but Omeka does not create thumbnail previews of PDFs.</p> <p>Hope this helps,<br /> Sheila </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/using-pdf-documents#post-373 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:26:47 +0000 mdowns 373@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Two Questions/Comments about how to use PDF documents in an Omeka installation.</p> <p>1) On the individual item pages, I don't really like the way that the default setting ust puts it as a little tiny link at the bottom of the page. I installed the pdfmenot, but it significant limits the quality of the document. </p> <p>2) I have created exhibits, but when I try to put the pdf's on there, they do not show up. Instead of any document, I simply get little gray squares where there are supposed to be pdf files. In other exhibits, I images which work just fine. What can we do?</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
