A great feature that was launched in the 4.7.0 release of Media Manager, will improve the user's experience "BIG TIME"! Inside Media Manager it is now possible to preview / read PDF files.
...
Step 1 of our SEO initiative is part of this release. It makes it possible to specify and control search engine tagging of the Media Manager at a global level.
PDF Reader
The PDF Reader is available for PDF assets in the asset preview. It can be accessed from the asset manager list, by click on any PDF asset in order to open the preview. The Reader will dynamically load the PDF asset and render it. The user will be able to navigate though the PDF pages, zoom in and out and print the document.
...
Starting with this version, we will make sure that all the colors used in Media Manager are declared as variables and therefor can be modified using the methods described in the Style Guide. This will allow you to customize to an even greater extend than before.
Security type 'ItemSecurityReadAccessOnlyPublic' now works with Solr
This feature needs DAM 4.5.2 or newer.
Digizuite_system_framework_search has untill now used 'ItemSecurityReadAccess' and unpublished assets would have to be filtered out by defining a seperate searchfield. With 'ItemSecurityReadAccessOnlyPublic' these 4 filters are applied:
1) deleted = 0: deleted assets are filtered out.
2) is_public = 1: non public assets are filtered out.
3) expiration: an unused feature but nonetheless expired assets are filtered out.
4) published: an asset needs to have been fully through a publish otherwise it is also filtered out.
When installing a new Media Manager Digizuite_system_framework_search comes with this securitytype but any existing adapted version will need to be updated manually.
How the new implementation works?
...
It is strongly recommended to revert any changes made to DigiZuite_System_GetAllBackendMemberGroups and DigiZuite_System_GetAllBackendMembers as temporary workarounds to this issue.
PDF Reader
When opening the preview for a PDF asset, the reader will open at 100% zoom level on the first page of the document. By using the scroll bar on the right-hand side, the user is able to scroll through document and navigate to other pages. On the center bottom of the screen, the reader will display the current page being rendered in the document and the total number of pages available.
...
Note: The system is pre-configured with some common meta tags that you probably want to edit to match the usage of the Digizuite™ Media Manager.

Changes in Searches
The new PDF Reader requires that the GetAssetsById and DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search searches will return a value field named pdfUrl. This update is normally made automatically when running the upgrade scripts. However, if you are using a modified version of any of the searches upper-mentioned, you will need to update the XML of the search and add the following value field manually:
