display a PDF from cloudinary

Question

I can load a pdf in cloudinary but i can't display it. I tried with :

<%= cl_image_tag worker.cv.path, width: 1000, height: 1000,crop: :fill, format: :jpg %>

Renders in

<img width="1000" height="1000" src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dgl9juzps/image/upload/c_fill,h_1000,w_1000/v1498033370/owpbctm8yi8pbwsxt3wz.pdf.jpg%22"  alt="Owpbctm8yi8pbwsxt3wz.pdf">

but it doesn't work.

Thanks for help

What doesn't work? What is the expected outcome, what does the template render return? — Roland Studer, Jun 20 '17 at 07:50
I can't see the pic, it prints a string and the icon a of an image... — Tana, Jun 21 '17 at 08:24
Could you post a rendered tag as an code example? Are you sure, that cloudinary supports these features for pdf? It seems to me that you probably cannot use an image tag to display a pdf without converting it to an image first. — Roland Studer, Jun 21 '17 at 08:42
Have you had a look at http://cloudinary.com/cookbook/convert_pdf_to_jpg — Roland Studer, Jun 21 '17 at 08:43
Yes i tried with this but it doesn't work : here is my code : <%= cl_image_tag worker.cv.path, width: 1000, height: 1000,crop: :fill, format: :jpg %> — Tana, Jun 21 '17 at 08:55
Best to edit the question. Do not try to put code in the comments. — Roland Studer, Jun 21 '17 at 08:56
I mean the rendered tag. What is the output in the rendered html — Roland Studer, Jun 21 '17 at 08:57
Roland je vois que tu es Suisse, peux tu m'expliquer en français ce dont tu as besoin stp? merci — Tana, Jun 21 '17 at 10:14
Salut Tana. C'est difficile de voir ou le problème est, si on ne voit pas ou le faute pourait être. J'aimerais bien voir tout le image tag come `` Parce que je pense le probleme est que demande a cloudinary un truc, que n'existe pas. — Roland Studer, Jun 21 '17 at 10:17
Je viens de mettre le code a jour et j'ai essayé en transformant le pdf en jpg comme dans la doc cookbook de cloudinary mais rien.... — Tana, Jun 21 '17 at 10:32

The rendered link has two problems:

<img width="1000" height="1000" src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dgl9juzps/image/upload/c_fill,h_1000,w_1000/v1498033370/owpbctm8yi8pbwsxt3wz.pdf.jpg%22"  alt="Owpbctm8yi8pbwsxt3wz.pdf"> 

// src = "http://res.cloudinary.com/.../owpbctm8yi8pbwsxt3wz.pdf.jpg%22"

The trailing " from the %22
and the file extension is .pdf.jpg instead of just .jpg

The link works if you just call:

http://res.cloudinary.com/dgl9juzps/image/upload/c_fill,h_1000,w_1000/v1498033370/owpbctm8yi8pbwsxt3wz.jpg

So maybe you should only pass the filename without extension to the helper.

Thanks Roland, the problem is that i should call users downloaded pdf...How could i pass this differents filenames without helpers? — Tana, Jun 22 '17 at 07:17
