Scrolling PDF's in supercontainer web viewer on iPad

[DataCruncher]

Hi all,

I've struggled with this for a while now:

I have an IWP site set up that will display a PDF stored in a supercontainer field. To achieve this,

I have a filemaker web viewer set up that points to the RAW data of the PDF stored in the supercontainer field.

This solution works very well when accessed using any web browser. It even works when accessed using Safari on an iPad;

the first part of the PDF is displayed properly. But the problem is: I can't scroll anywhere. The iPad scroll function scrolls the entire page rather then just the PDF; I can not get to the second page of a multi-page PDF file, I can not zoom in, I can not move anywhere with this PDF.

Can you think of any solution that would make this work on the iPad? I can't go with FileMaker Go. I need this to work with Safari or even another iPad web browser....

I was thinking if I should try to use Supercontainer companion plugin to download the supercontainer content into a filemaker content field, but that would defy the cause of using supercontainer in the first place, plus I'm not even sure it would behave any differently on the iPad.

What can I do?

Thanks,

This is how a lot of mobile browsers work. They render the entire page and then scroll or interacting moves a "window" around viewing portions of a page rather than actually moving the content like a computer does.

I would recommend using the default /Files/ URL on FileMakerGo or giving FMGo users an "Open" button that they can click to open the PDF in their PDF reading app.
