Scrolling photos/text.

[Aussie Bob]

I wish to place a scrolling area for a combined image & text document within a web page.
How can I create this in a Designer Pro X web site rather than have a link to a pdf file?

Bob, if your source document is a PDF, or you can convert it into one, you can use a Placeholder.

The trick is to drop the PDF onto your page as a Link, export the page, to ensure the PDF is added into your site and delete the link on the page.

I create my Placeholders by hand so:

• Create a rectangle the size you want to display the document in.
• Select it and then pick Web Properties > Placeholder > HTML code (body).
• Insert code similar to:

<iframe name=pdf src="index_htm_files/Stourpaine%20Parish%20Plan.pdf" height=100% width=100% frameborder=0 scrolling=auto></iframe>

Here is the end web page: http://www.stourpaine.info/villageplan.htm.

If you try to use the Xara "Embed a website widget", it complains if the URL does not begin with http://.
A workaround is slap in "http://www.google.com", click the Generate code button and then alter the src part of

<iframe src="http://www.google.com" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" name="xara_iframe" ><p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p></iframe>

to your required PDF.

Thanks Acorn.
Tried both but with no success. First option would not show at all and second would not allow file to open. Kept demanding a HTTP address.
Using Designer Pro X.

Can you upload a page with the PDF added as a link in a .web?
