Hello there,

Thanks for your recommendation. Though I hadn’t been looking for a paid plugin, I figured that $7 wasn’t too big an investment. Although, I didn’t see an option in the plugin to specify which pages to not show the share bar – just the option to show it or not on the home page and show it or not on all pages.

However, this basically suited my needs.

(Is the more expensive version – the $35 one – able to be deselected for specific posts/pages?)

I had some trouble installing the plugin; when I uploaded it normally through the WP dashboard, I got a message saying the folder was empty. I ended up having to upload it to the plugins folder via my cPanel, then upload it via the normal dashboard uploader, after which point I could activate it.

Cheers

Nay…

I’m actually having (almost) better luck with

<div style='width:660px; height:500px; overflow: scroll;'><embed src="http://wefarmgreybruce.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Issue3.pdf" width=100% height=100%></div>

That gives me back the two vertical scrollbars – and one nonfunctioning horizontal one, but the document’s a bit cut off.

Oi – well, you’ve done a lot; I wouldn’t have been able to get this far by myself, I tell you. I’m about to sign off – if you’ve got any more thoughts, feel free to post! If not, thanks for getting me this far. Time to keep tinkering!

Thank you, and Best Regards!

…and the code in place is:

<div style='width:660px; height:500px; overflow: scroll;'><embed src="http://wefarmgreybruce.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Issue3.pdf"></div>

What the…I’m not sure what’s going on…

Okay – let me try this again…

There’s an idea – it’d kind of crossed my mind, but I never tried – though I shall now. One moment – thanks!

Close to it; except for the vertical scroll bar beside the vertical scrollbar (do you see how if you move to the right side of the document with the horizontal scrollbar, there’s a second vertical scrollbar nestled against the main vertical scrollbar?

Would there be any way to get rid of that (the second vertical scrollbar)?

Cheers

Okay – great, let me give this a try. Should only take a minute. I didn’t quite get that I didn’t need a <div> before the div style. Here we go…

Hello! My apologies for the late reply.

I tried what I think you mean, but it doesn’t seem to be working; perhaps I don’t have the basic grasp of it.

So, as I said, the original code I had in the post is:

<embed src="www.mysite.com/doc.pdf" width="700" height="2400"> – “mysite” being the domain, and “doc.pdf” being the embedded PDF.

The width and height I specified in the embed code are in pixels and are the best numbers I could find for the PDF to display decently in most browsers.

You said to nest the embedded file within a div. I assume – and here’s where I could be totally wrong – that that means the code in the post should look like:

<div><div style='width:20; height:2400; overflow: scroll;'><embed src="www.mysite.com/doc.pdf" width="700" height="2400"></div>

Have I got this completely wrong? Obviously, I have, because the embedded PDF remains unchanged, and I see the
“<div style=’width:20; height:2400; overflow: scroll;’>” at the top of the post above the PDF.

I’m also not clear about the width and height that you specified in that bit of code; I assume it’s the width and height that I want the scrollbar to be, but I’m not sure. And do I need to change any of the other values/parameters?

Sorry – probably sound like a total noob here, but I’m quite lost at the moment; your help, if you’re still around, is appreciated!

Thank you!

Best Regards
