Hi all How do i view a pdf from a folder for my CI website?
I have used the download helper to download the pdf need to give an option to the users to view first then download.


Thanks

Then you could have said so earlier
Anyway create a second PDF file which only contains the first two pages and link to that instead. If you need to SHOW the actual pages of the PDF file you need to upload it to a hosting server which allows you to embed PDF into your HTML page.
The easy solution though is to create image files of the two pages instead.
