Feature Request - Exclude Chromebooks? Oct 11, 2021 19:41:05 GMT

I have a survey that will not work on Chromebooks - It is displaying a PDF in the survey, but the method I am using (putting it in an iframe) is not working on Chromebooks. There is already an exclusion for phones and tablets, and Chromebooks are really an extension of the Android phone OS. Can that exclusion criteria be added for Chromebooks?

Thanks - Dana

PS: I appreciate the irony of Chromebooks not working with the Google docs viewer in an iframe. LOL!

Currently that is not possible. I will look at this, and see why the PDF does not always work on Chromebooks. Interesting issue.

Yes, you are right, it is funny they do not support this. Have you checked if the HTML to embed might be different for Chromebooks. I don't have access to one, so I cannot test, but I wonder if it works in Google Chrome, I will test now and see what I can do. It is nice that you can embed PDFs this way. I can possibly build in an option to exclude chromebooks. But so weird that they do not support this basic functionality.
