CKAN PDF View provides simple and effective PDF viewing capabilities for CKAN resources by using HTML object tags to display PDF files directly within the browser interface. The extension handles both locally hosted and remote PDF files, automatically embedding them in a responsive viewer that works across different browsers and devices. It requires the resource_proxy plugin when accessing remote PDF files to handle CORS and security restrictions. The viewer provides basic PDF functionality including page navigation, zoom controls (browser-dependent), and full-screen viewing options. This extension is ideal for organizations that need to provide immediate access to PDF documents, reports, and other document-based resources without requiring users to download files.
