Pdf Viewer Online Url
Free URL to PDF Online Converter is a simple online tool to help you convert any webpage URL to PDF online conveniently and quickly.
I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this question here, but if someone can give me a tip that would be very appreciated.
I need to download some PDF files from a website. I can view each page by clicking on its link in the website, when I copy the link address then paste it to another tab it will show '404 not found'. I tried pasting the link to all of the browser, Internet Download Manager and some others, but the message is always 'not found'.
Can someone explain what did the owner of the website do to it, so that you must stay on the site to read the PDFs? And (how) will I be able to bypass this restriction?
Here's the website:
http://service.citroen.com/ddb/ (select a model then the PDF manual will show up).
Try right-clicking on a page, then copy the link address then paste it elsewhere.

You can find the real path to the PDF-file by checking the html code: http://service.citroen.com/ddb/modeles/c5/c5_c5/ed10-07/de_de/4_21_c5-al-ed10-2007.pdfMaybe they covered it with a 404-link to prevent downloading.
EDIT: Actually you don't need to search for the link. Hover the right side of the pdf and you will see a 'save'-icon.

Use chrome browserWhen you view the PDF document in the browser - right click and choose PRINTYou would see 'Destination' on the right side - Press the 'change' button and select'Save as PDF'
Voila .......
In Safari, I was able to right-click on the tag containing the PDF and select 'Save PDF as..'. Worked just fine. Try a different browser.
Sometimes, some web developer will run the PDF within a container to prevent people from downloading them. Not sure if this is the case in your website.
Your question will be moved to superuser.com I think.
If you disable the pdf plugin in your browser, it will give you the full url of the pdf that you can copy around.
They did some JavaScript event catching tricks where they catch the event of you clicking the link on the menu, parse the URL in the link (which is bad, as you noted) to figure out which file you wanted, then switch the PDF container to display that file from the correct subdirectory of the site.
The code seems to be rather well commented actually, but I don't know french.
Some sites obfuscate the links for things like images and pdfs in order to prevent you from 'saving' a copy. The best of vanessa mae rapidshare files. This is usually done with Javascript and typically results in a dialog message to the effect of 'we don't want you to download this'
Since you can't actually view things inside your browser without the actual ability to download it, this sort of 'copy protection' really is just smoke and mirrors. If you install a tool like 'web developer' or 'fire bug' (both for Firefox), you have the opportunity to view the source of the page after it has been mangled by the Javascript. Such source will contain the working download links.

Use content editor web part:-(http://www.sharepointanalysthq.com/2011/03/embedding-pdfs-into-sharepoint-2010-pages/)
First you need to find the URL to the PDF that you wish to view, after that you are ready to go!
Step 1)
Add a Content Editor Web Part to the page
Step 2)
Click on the ‘Edit HTML Source’ button for the Content Editor Web Part (not the page)
Step 3)
Add the following code:
Where:
src = The URL of the file, remember to put in a server relative URL to this!
height = height of the rendered PDF
width = width of the rendered PDF
Click on Save and you should see your PDF rendered
OR Use page viewer webpart:-(http://aalamrangi.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/how-to-embed-a-pdf-document-in-a-sharepoint-wiki-page-with-a-page-viewer-webpart/)
Steps:
Upload the PDF document to an appropriate SharePoint library and copy the URL in a Notepad. The URL is needed later.
Open the Wiki page where the document has to be embedded and click on the Edit icon at the top-left.
Click on the location or bring the cursor to the location in the Wiki page where you’d like to embed the PDF.
Click on the Editing Tools > Insert tab at the top of the page ().
Click on Web Part.
Select Media and Content in the Categories list box on the left of the page and select Page Viewer from the Web Parts list. Click on Add. This will insert the Page Viewer web part at the location of the cursor in the page.
Hover over the inserted Page Viewer web part. Click on the drop down button and click the Edit Web Part option.
Paste the URL, give a title and specify a height for the web part and click OK. You are done! The PDF will now appear as a document in a window and Adobe Reader’s normal features like zoom, pan, print etc. would be available to interact with the document.
Another way on Microsoft website:- (http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/embed-office-documents-and-pdf-files-on-a-website-HA102845475.aspx#_Toc362267437)
Adobe Pdf Viewer Online
You can use a CQWP (Custom Query Web Part) and create your own ItemStyle.xsl. Then simply add the CQWP to your site and select the source library and the Content Type you wish to show.
With this solution you can have one Web Part serving N listitems in SharePoint libraries, you can also query for Content Types on the whole site if you wish to show PDF documents from multiple libraries.
You can find more information about how to create a custom ItemStyle on the MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb447557(v=office.14).aspx), and there are also a few tutorials out there (like this one http://www.cwheeler76.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=9a19060b-0efe-4368-8360-b07d23dc5c7b&ID=6&Web=916c3f13-7f62-4b71-b302-6fd9106b4bb2).
If you want to iterate multiple PDF's from multiple site collections and have a search service running you can use a simmilar Web Part - SCRWP (Search Core Results Web Part) to iterate all documents from index.
On a side note, i wouldn't add to mutch <embed> tags to a site - this can have a big performance impact on the browser - maybe you'll find a solution with thumbnails.
