14th January 2021 - New version 1.9.5 - PDF Viewer plugin was created by Mr. Dam
The Edocman developer team are proud to announce the release of Edocman 1.19.5. This is a first sixth for the 1.19.x series of Edocman with the launch of the plugin - Edocman PDF Viewer
The plugin PDF Viewer size is about 1.68 MB, so that, we don't include it in Edocman Package Installation, when you download edocman_unzip_first.zip from us to desktop and extract it, you will see file: plug_edocman_pdfviewer.zip, you can install it through Joomla Installation manager tool. After installing it, please publish the plugin at Backend -> Extensions -> Plugins
Then, at frontend, the PDF file will be opened directly through Edocman layout instead of through browsers or Google Viewer. An outstanding advantage of this plugin is that when users don't have the permission to download documents, they can only view the content of the PDF file through PDF Viewer while the Download function is disabled.
NOTE: In case the Document View layout shows error: 404 Not found, you can follow below steps to solve the issue.
1. Using Notepad to open file: .htaccess and .htaccess.admintools (if exists)
2. Add this line of those files:
3. Save those files and test the PDF Document view function again
4. In case the PDF files can be viewed, you should unpublish the plugin Edocman PDF Viewer and using different Document view options of Edocman
Please upgrade Edocman 1.19.5 to get this great plugin for using

Thanks Dam.
I updated using joomla update and it seems to now be V1.19.5.
I also reinstalled the pdf plug in and it's enabled, but when I view a pdf, it's still using Google docs. Is there anything else I need to do? I have the configuration set to use Google viewer and I assumed Edocman would use the pdf viewer for pdfs and Google viewer for other filetypes.
However, if I switch off Use Google Viewer and view a pdf, I get what looks like a frame for the viewer but it has a 404 - Category not found error inside it - see screenshot. I can still download the document by clicking the Download button.
Any idea what's up?

When enabling the pdf-plugin and set the viewing configuration to use this (Use Google = No), I get the PDF displayed in the new module.
BUT, all the right hand icons are missing, so users cannot select: Print, Full Screen, Download etc. (see attachment)
How do I activate those right hand functions? (Using Google and Edge)
