  • SILK Web Browser?

    From Dale@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 11 17:16:47 2022
    XPost: alt.html, comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets

    I use an Amazon Fire SILK Web Browser on my FireTV.

    https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Amazon-Silk-Web-Browser/product-reviews/B01M35MQV4

    It doesn't open PDF files on my website.

    Here is an example ...

    https://www.dalekelly.org/images/DaleRKelly122717.pdf

    I have been working on changing the PDF files to *.jpeg or HTML to view
    better on smart phones anyway.

    Anyone from Amazon listening?

    I remember there are open system W3.org file formats, XML/XSL, that are similar. I don't know anything about their browser support.

    There's a lot that Silk doesn't do. One thing that is DOES do is route
    all of your traffic through Amazon. Every thing you do online is exposed
    to Amazon.

    I know that Silk did not work with Roundcube (a popular webmail system),
    though I have no idea if that ever changed.

    Anyone from Amazon listening?

    Never has been, can't imagine they'd start now.

    I remember there are open system W3.org file formats, XML/XSL, that are similar. I don't know anything about their browser support.

    I'm not sure how XML is related to PDF in anyway, as it's a markup
    language similar to HTML and XLS is the file extension and file format
    for Microsoft Excel.

    Huh? Why ask here if you're trying to communicate with Amazon?

    You really expect Amazon staff reading Usenet groups?

    No, PDF is *not* a "open system W3.org file format" - it's the "portable document format" invented by Adobe.

    got it pretty much done

    https://www.dalekelly.org/



    Used Adobe Creative Cloud Express to turn PDF's into jpegs
    one example ...

    https://www.dalekelly.org/images/DaleRKelly122717.pdf https://www.dalekelly.org/UMS1.jpg
    https://www.dalekelly.org/UMS2.jpg



    coded HTML to combine jpegs, one example ...

    https://www.dalekelly.org/UMS.html


    coded one HTML from scratch and used Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to make one
    PDF from it

    You serve an images with 34 MB(!) and more than 5000x6600 pixels just to display a table with some text?

    At least you should create MUCH smaller images. But using the TEXT in
    that PDF and create an HTML version of that content would be even better.

    Yes - as I said - that browser does not support displaying PDF at all.
