Hello guys. I want to show my users PDF files.
The reason why I use cgi to show
the pdf is I want to track
the clicks for
the pdf, and cloak
the real location of
the saved pdf.
I've been searching on
the Internet and only found how to show save dialog to
the users and creating a pdf, not show
the files to
the users.
What I wanted for is show
the users my pdf files, not creating or download
the pdf.
Here is what I got form
the official php documentation:
<?php
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
readfile('
the.pdf');
?>
Also my google-search-result perl code:
open(PDF, "
the.pdf") or die "could not open PDF [$!]";
binmode PDF;
my $output = do { local $/; <PDF> };
close (PDF);
print "Content-Type: application/pdf\n";
print "Content-Length: " .length($output) . "\n\n";
print $output
if you do it on ruby, please say it to me. But I'm not sure if my server support rails.
Sorry if my code is too far away from
the method to show
the pdf, since I don't know anything about pdf processing and how to implement this problem.
Lets assume that
the users have
the Adobe Reader plug-in. So, how to fix my problem?
