If you have a lot of PDF files it might not be the best to start the conversion of PDF to JPEG each time.

There is an online service that allows your visitor to view PDF files without having to install a PDF reader on their computer: http://www.issuu.com/

You just sign up for an account, then copy and paste their Javascript code into your pagelayout.tpl and whenever someone click on a PDF link on your website, ISSUU will download the PDF, convert it (takes 10 minutes) and the next visitor will have a nice online PDF reader.

See my blog below, right under the Google Ads, click on "Click here for a preview of Eye Spy Intelligence Magazine number 66":

So the first visitor will be downloading the PDF, but 10 minutes after, everyone will get the viewer.

Romeo, you have also this one:

http://www.scribd.com/

I have used both scribd and issuu with eZP, and I found scribd to be a better solution for my needs. It can also convert other formats like Word, OpenOffice...

If you need help in setting it up, feel free to contact me privately via my profile.

I'm glad you found my tip usefull, here are some pointers:

• if your documents can be freely accessed by public use scribd.Document.getDocFromUrl() it requires only the public key
• set the height of the scribd reader to the height of the page viewport and scroll the page to the top of the reader - it improves user experience
• setting scribd_doc.api.setFullscreen(true) in oniPaperReady() function doesn't work correctly, at least it didn't work on my site
