Problem with PDF-Plugin from TechJoomla

Peter Hellinger

Articles Anywhere v13.1.3 [PRO], Joomla 4.3.0, Techjoomla pdf embed plugin V3.0.0

Hi Peter,
The pdf plugin is not executed in an {articles}-Loop. Code in the Loop:

{if [dokument-1:value] != "0"}
<div class="study-button">
  <p class="text">[dokument-1 layout='false'] <span>(<i class="far fa-file-pdf"></i>):</span></p>
  <a class="view-pdf" aria-label="Show PDF on screen" href="#" data-view="doc1-pdf-[id]" title="Dokument anzeigen"><i class="fas fa-eye fa-lg"></i></a>
  <a class="download" aria-label="Download Document" href="/images/documents/[dokument-1:value]" title="Dokument downloaden" download><i class="fas fa-download fa-lg"></i></a>
  <div id="doc1-pdf-[id]" class="doc-pdf">
    {pdf=/images/documents/[dokument-1:value]|100%|300|native}
  </div>
</div>
{/if}

This resulsts in the following output, with the plain plugin code and the filename is replaced.
{pdf=/images/documents/ma_arr-komp.pdf|100%|300|native}

If tried with the content trigger switch to "on", but this did not solve the problem.

Any ideas?

Best regards, Peter

Is that also a system plugin?
Try changing the ordering of the plugins in question.

No, the Plugin is a content plugin, I cant place it to the system plugins.

If I place the pdf-code in the article body, the plugin works.

I'm currently thinking about whether I should leave the PDF in the article, but declare it invisible via CSS and move it to the right place after loading the page with Javascript. Of course, I would prefer if we could solve this with Articles Anywhere.

The limitation is more in that PDF plugin, as it is just a content plugin.

You could possible also just place a placholder via Articles Anywhere (and the pdf in the article).
Then use ReReplacer to 'move' the pdf HTML output to the placeholder.

Ah, I just found a solution. Instead of calling the plugin directly, I use the following code

<div id="doc1-pdf-[id]" class="doc-pdf">
  <object type="application/pdf" data="images/documents/[dokument-1:value]" width="100%" height="600">
  Es gibt kein pdf-Plugin, es kann <a download href="images/documents/[dokument-1:value]"> die pdf-Datei heruntergeladen werden.</a>
  </object>
</div>

Problem solved. 🙂

Thanks for your help!

Even better. Just skip the pdf plugin ?
