This is an addition to DSpace (on github @DSpace/DSpace) to add a button that previews a PDF within the browser. The preview currently opens up as modal dialog, but could also be embeded into the item view directly. It currently supports DSpace's JSPUI in version 6.3 only, but it should be simple to port to XMLUI or future versions of DSpace 6. If you need help porting it, please don't hesitate to contact The Library Code.

This addon was developed by The Library Code with the support of Leibniz Institute for Psychology Information (ZPID).
We will add one branch per supported version. Currently DSpace 6.3 is the only supported version yet: dspace-6.3-addition.
