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 not possible to preview / read PDF files.
The only thing we changed in the Asset Preview is EVERYTHING.
How to access/use the new implementation?

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.

Managing Third-party Dependencies
In 4.7.0 we improve the way we manage third party dependencies like Google, Dropbox and SkyDrive Libraries.
Media Manager Skinning
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.
How the new implementation works?
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.
By pressing the ellipsis icon from the bottom right corner, the tool will open, from where the user will be able to change the zoom level of the PDF, print the document or open the reader in full-screen.
Note: Full-screen view and printing is available only on desktop browser that support this features.
How to configure the new implementation?

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:
<valueField id="pdfUrl" fieldName="asset.urlAbsolut(B1BB6F18-6FE5-441A-A3FA-E6FCA2769ACB,DA6EAD4E-6259-489C-98DF-8581C23C0F0E)" />
Asset Republishing
It is required that you republish existing PDF assets after upgrading to MM 4.7.0 is you wish to be able to render them in the PDF viewer.
