Hi guys,

When I try to view some PDF files that are linked through JavaScript on my iPad i only see the 1st page, and a bit of the second page.
When trying through windows I can see the whole document plus a toolbar that I cannot see on my iPad.
The screenshot shows the way I see it on Windows.

This is how I see the same page on iPad. I can't scroll down see more pages.

Wow didn't think you'd go to leedsmet like me :p

I just went on xstream and viewed a PowerPoint and all the slides came up? Not sure why it's not working for you.

PowerPoint and PDF are two very different things? Why are you suggesting this?

Is there a way I can see all pages on my iPad?

Apart from downloading it on windows then emailing it to iPad.

Tried two-finger scrolling on the PDF?

Try viewing the page source and getting a direct link to the slides.

Two-finger scrolling should do it.

You’ll need a PC for looking at the source. If that’s not convenient, they might use a logical naming scheme and you’ll only have to look up one and just chance a few characters in the address to access the rest.

You could simply download the PDF's and open them in iBooks or another reader for iPad...a bit of a roundabout way to do it but it'd work.

How so?

I know but I want to access it without doing so, as the notes get updated weekly.

Let’s say you go to the source and there’s some code to embed the PDF and the link is “http://www.site.com/foo/bar/lecture1.pdf”. It’s pretty easy to guess the next lecture will be at “http://www.site.com/foo/bar/lecture2.pdf” and the next one at “http://www.site.com/foo/bar/lecture3.pdf” ect. You only need to go through the process of going on a PC to find the link once, you can infer the rest.

I checked the source, but there is no ".pdf" phrase.
