Creating a blog post from a PDF file in fastpages

nbdev

Sometimes, I find it easier to convey my thoughts with handwritten notes and such. Using Notability, I can export my notes from my iPad into PDF documents, which can probably be embedded into HTML or similar. Since I’m already blogging using fastpages, is there a convenient way I can set this up in an automated way? perhaps a _pdfs folder?

The goal would be to have the PDF render in the same bounding box as a normal blog post would, but without the scroll bars that sometimes come with embedding documents, so I guess one would scale the width of the PDF to the page?

This is a pretty basic question I imagine, sorry in advance :slight_smile:

In theory it is possible if you have a way to convert your PDF into an image or place it inside an iframe. I don’t know off hand how to do this, though.

The Customizing Fastpages section of the README includes some links that may be helpful on getting started with adding functionality like this https://github.com/fastai/fastpages#customizing-fastpages
