When using LaTeX one can include a PDF as an image (this is usually done, e.g., with scientific papers, in which one can include a graph in PDF, so that it can be shown properly at different scales).
By using some tools like remark and MathJax one can create web pages with some LaTeX insertion.
Now, suppose I am interested in including a PDF as an image, as I usually do with plain LaTeX files.
I have tried to include my PDF using the <img> tag, and everything was working, since I realized that this only works in Safari (since Safari considers PDFs as images too). This consequently does not work in other browsers, as Chrome / Firefox.
So, I tried to include the image with an <embed> tag, as shown here. However, what I obtain is a mini-PDF viewer inside the browser, with a grey frame all around the image I am including. I would instead like to include just the image, with no frames.
Is there a way of reproducing this behavior?
Thank you in advance.
I dont know what type of framework or cms you use for your Homepage. But i guess you have to use sth like "imagemagick" to render your pdf files, like its done in wordpress or other cms systems.

The system I am working on has a questionnaire in it and then shows the responses to the admin in a nice report on screen. I need to create functionality that turns the on screen report into a pdf, similar to how the browser generates a pdf of the page when you select print. Although I need to only turn a section of the page into pdf. And it would be ideal to be able to alter the HTML so that the pdf page breaks don't interfere with the presentation of the report.
You can download a pdf of how the report looks, generated by the browser functionality. This is just an example, I need the pdf to be generated by a link or button and not include the whole page (the top part in this case).
I have tried some php HTML to pdf generators, but it's difficult because the HTML is dynamically generated so I'm not sure how to send all the HTML, once rendered, to the page that creates the pdf.
To overcome the page breaks, I've considered using javascript or jquery to read the height of the div of each question within the report and then write a simple script to calculate if the next div will fit on the page and if not add a margin on top of that div so that it starts on a new page.
What software can I use to generate the pdf, given these requirements? Either php or javascript. Appreciate the help.
Have you considered Snappy for PHP? It makes use of wkhtmltopdf behind the curtains to convert any HTML document into PDF.
We are using it and it works great.

You could try mpdf and use the page-break-inside: avoid property which is actually a CSS property. I have not used this, but it might be what you're looking for.
Looks like you can add this property to the <div> and <table> tags (mPDF Supported CSS).

Trying to play around with images on my product pages...well actually created a test page.
Unable to figure out a few things:
Where does one host a jquery file?
Do I need to have the jquery src for both jquery.min.js (many use the one hosted by google, if I am understanding any of this correctly) and jquery.elevatezoom.js?
If I end up not liking the zoom is this still an appropriate way to have a large image with small thumbnails beneath (perhaps I will explore how to click on the big image to open a full-screen version).
Should all my pictures be the same size? Right now I have square format photos and rectangle...it might end up looking horrible.
Do I put any code into CSS or just the layout and the specific page I want the images to take place?
Will these images replace the ones I upload through bigcartel's system?
There is already a jquery entry in the layout...do I just add to the end of this same section the additional src?
This is what I added to layout:
<script src="http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=24823496361920795072" type="text/javascript"></script>
This is my test page:
<img id="zoom_01" src="http://i.imgur.com/1L86Fcms.jpg" data-zoom-image="http://i.imgur.com/1L86Fcm.jpg"/>
$("#img_01").elevateZoom();
<head><script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script></head>
<img id="product_zoom" src="http://i.imgur.com/1L86Fcms.jpg" data-zoom-image="http://i.imgur.com/1L86Fcm.jpg" class="fade_in">
Thanks again for all the help and honestly probably biting off more than I can chew. I just wanted to play around with it and see if it would work/was something I liked, but seems like I have gone down a rabbit hole into a whole other world, way above my rudimentary html skillset.
Here is where I first saw the jquery stuff:
Can I integrate an Internal zoom on my products in my big cartel store?
The best place to host your javascript files is on a server that you have control over -but if you don't have any webspace, you can easily host files with a service like Dropbox or Google Drive.
The Luna theme you're using already loads jQuery in the <head> portion of your Layout, so you don't need to include that script again (and you'll get errors in your browser's javascript console if you try).
Since you're using a separate image zooming library that has a bunch of custom CSS, you'll probably want to have your CSS file hosted on a separate server as well. It's a good idea to put any files you're including in the Layout section, following the same format as the existing theme files.
It looks like the javascript file you're hosting on tinyupload.com is just bringing up a download page instead of actually loading the javascript content into the page, so you'll definitely need to change how that's loaded. Otherwise the HTML code you're using looks like it should work.
I have created a simple - HelloWorld.html Webpage with HTML, JavaScript, CSS.
When I run it from Eclipse IDE, It works perfectly on browser.
What it does is like: the page has 5 buttons,
and hellow World is displayed from 5 different <div>'s
that remains hidden and appears as inline after button click.
When I navigate to the work-space and try to open the HelloWorld.html file in browser manually, nothing comes correctly.
All properties: positions and bgcolors etc declared in external css file has no effect on browser.
I know it sounds stupid, but I'm just hating myself for this.
Does anyone know why is it behaving in this way?
PS:
1. I have no Server-side scripting in the file.
2. HTML, JS, CSS are different file.
My best guess would be that you are trying to use the css file with a realtive path, which changes when you don't host it temporarily as eclipse IDE does.
First, open the developer toolbar (f12) & check the network tab to see if the css file is being loaded at all.
Try using an absolute path instead & see if it changes anything.
In my Exp. i have seen this kind of problems many times, the Inbuilt browser of eclipse some times does not support all features especially when you doing like designing purpose.
you can use MS-IE 6 or Above version for same.
or you can try some other browsers like:- Mozilla,Chrome etc.
because it has features for developers for scripting , div , css and many more . so u can check with them.
Thanks,

It's because of file manager from which you have opened.
You just need to see the link in browser.
If it has a "content//:" in start then the css or JavaScript file you have linked in the HTML will not work.
What you need to do is change your file manager or create link manually.
To create a link manually you should use "file///:"in start for example if your file is in download then you should use something like that....
file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/My%20Web/index.html
Or you can use ZArchiver file manager and go to your file and use open with option to open file in browser.
I have downloaded a aspx webpage and saved it as html. I open it in IE and chrome and it takes time to load + some parts are missing. All the text is there but the onmouseover is not working properly and some css is not displaying correctly. Was the content not downloaded completely? i.e is it missing sme javascript, css or else?
I have done what you describe on many occasions for the purposes of putting together a prototype of new functionality in an existing application.
You will likely need to do a couple of things:
Ensure the paths to your JS and CSS resources are right (removing the unneccessary JS files, if any)
Also, you will likely need to update the paths in your CSS to any image resources in your page
I'd like to use CKEditor's Image plug-in separately from the rest of CKEditor.
Basically I'm creating a simple tool to edit webpages. Some parts of the webpage will be HTML and thus require the full CKEditor. But some parts will be images, and I don't need the full HTML editor, just the Image plug-in.
Is this possible to do, and what would be the "cleanest" way to do so?
CKEditor doesn't provide an image browser by itself, so you must research how to use the file browser component that you have picked by itself.
If you're using CKFinder look at the standalone.html sample, like shown in the "enhancing html forms" here: http://ckfinder.com/demo
