pip install Pillow

)

Usage

Create a CMS page with a placeholder, upload a pdf file using filer and simply insert the plugin PDF File.

Note that currently the thumbnail size is adjusted only in the template at cmsplugin_pdf/partials/pdf.html.

Templatetags

get_page_count

Use this template filter if you would like to display the page count for a pdf file:

{% load cmsplugin_pdf_tags %}
Pages: {{ pdf_plugin.file.path|get_page_count }}

Settings

CMSPLUGIN_PDF_DISPLAY_TYPE_CHOICES

Default:

[
    ('standard', _('standard')),
    ('small', _('small')),
    ('highlight', _('highlight')),
]

When using the PDF File plugin in your django-cms placeholders you will notice that you have three choices for the Display type. This field can be helpful when you want to render a file differently in different parts of your site. If you need even more display types, just set this setting to a different list of tuples.
