Me again.

Says it all in the title really. When exporting the zip file of a Page or Collection, any PDF files that are embedded don't show.

Is this standard?

Thanks!

Dan

Hello Dan,

I assume that you meant the HTML export?

This seems to be a problem with the display once the page is viewed in the offline HTML portfolio. I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1397628 for it.

Cheers

Kristina

It's affecting us too at Solent - I've ticked the box on the launchpad to say so :)

(Cross-posting from Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1397628/comments/4 )

I can see what the problem is. We display PDF's inline using the PDF.js library ( http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/ ). When we export to HTML, we don't include that library as part of the export.

So what we'd need to do, to fix this, is include a copy of PDF.js with the HTML export, and wire up the HTML to use it properly.
