CF8 - pdf files do not display in a browser

We are setting up the multiple instance capability using jrn4 with cf8,
with apache 2.x on Redhat linux 5.X.
For the when browsing to the main cfusion instance I can see pdf files
but if I go to the document root of an instance, pdf files are not displayed.
Infact it hoses whichever browser you are using.
I can see cfm, txt, html files.
Anyone have an idea what is happening?

I tried your recommendation of turning off coldfusion and it
appears the problem of not being able to display
a pdf file has nothing to do with coldfusion or with apache.
The problem appears to be how we are mounting the documentroot on a linux server
from a windows file server using a cifs mount.
It seems to handle text files properly but not pdf files (it may have problems
with other types of files), perhaps it is an issue with end of line or end of
file which is confusing things.
This is the mount command we are using
//win_file_server/xyz     /data/xyz          cifs   user,ro,credentials=credentials,uid=48,gid=48,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755
The credentials file contains
username=some_name
password=xxxxxxxx
uid=apache
gid=apache
filemode=0660
dirmode=0770
nosuid
nosetuids
It works file if the documentroot is on a mounted unix file system, but not windows.
Does anyone know if mounting a windows file system can work properly?
(Perhaps we are missing some additional settings).

  • In FireFox 4.0, PDF files will not display

    After updating to 4.0, PDF files will not display in the browser window as before. All I get is blank screen. Everything works fine in IE9. I have updated all the plug-ins, including Adobe Acrobat. Also have enable Display PDF in browser in Acrobat Reader.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

    Hello
    My pdf files do not display the full page on Creative Cloud (side of pages missing).
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Creative Cloud is the process used to download and install programs... which program are you using?

  • Some PDF files are not displayed in Bridge

    Hello,
    here is the problem: I use Adobe Bridge CS2 to browse my large collection of PDF files, and unfortunately some files are not displayed in the Filmstrip View mode; instead a generic icon is shown (bridge1.png). Most PDF files, however, are displayed correctly (bridge2.png). Is this the problem of Bridge or of certain PDF files, and how should I fix them to make them being displayed by Bridge?
    Thanks.

    curt y
    In fact, all files have similar type of content (research papers). However, I found out that all files which are not displayed are "protected" by the publisher such that they only can be viewed and printed, but not modified or disassembled. Apparently, this causes the problem with Bridge not displaying them. It's a pity that Bridge cannot handle them...
    Thanks for the help, though.

  • Pdf files will not display in english, windows default

    Hello,
    When I download a pdf file I cannot get it to display in english.
    the default is set at windows, but I always seem to get a display in other languages.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Pam

    Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
    Adobe Reader version 11.0.04  is now working for me.
    Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

  • A pdf file will not display in a new window in FF12 (and many previous revisions)

    There appear to be several different ways to display a pdf file from a browser. One is just opening another tab and displaying the file. This way works. Another option is a 'download' window will open up downloading the pdf file which can then be displayed successfully. A third way is that another external window opens with some application verbiage displayed which is then overwritten by the actual pdf file. This method does not work for me. I have to go to Chrome or, pardon the expression, IE, to get the pdf files displayed in this manner.
    I have a jpg of the opened window with no pdf data displayed but I didn't know how to include it.
    Thank you.

    Can you try in safe mode please?

  • Compressed PDF file is not displaying properly in Windows 8 Reader app

    Hi,
    We have compressed a PDF file using some third party library. The compressed file is displaying properly, when we're opening the file with ADOBE reader. The same file is displaying blank, when we're opening the file with Windows 8 reader.
    Can anyone help us to solve this issue?

  • PDF files are not displayed

    Firefox does not display PDF files. I did not have this problem before and tried just about everything that has been mentioned under help and in the forum - including a complete and clean reinstallation. So far NOTHING seem to have any effect. For a while it says in the lower left corner "transfering data" (or something like that), but then is says "Done" and all I get is a blank screen.

    Hi,
    The problem I have with displaying PDF files is still the same: as soon as they are locked against editing (NOT password protected against opening) files cannot be viewed on Creative Cloud.
    I just downloaded one of the files to my computer and e-mailed it to myself: GMail can view it without any problem. It's a bit strange that Google can do something Creative Cloud can't.
    And its REALLY annoying that some PDF files just can't be viewed in Creative Cloud
    Thanks for your help!

  • PDF files are not displayed. Why?

    Most of the PDF files I uploaded are not displayed on Creative Cloud. Some I can view page by page, but most are only displayed as generic PDF icon.They are not very complex or difficult files - What is the problem? My InDesign files are displayed nicely. Even GMail displays the PDF files without a problem.
    Any suggestions?

  • Some PDF files will not display Why?

    When I try and display some PDF files they only open up a blank screen. Any ideas.

    I am having the same problem with Safari, I will save Adobe Reader to desktop quite it and try to open it again and get a blank and it telling me it doesn't recognize it. Then I copy it from Safari, and paste it into Firefox and it will open in Safari and anywhere it want to open it. I just use this instead of trying to open it again in Safari.

  • PDF files are not opening in IE!!!

    Some PDF files are not displayed while opening in browser IE . The PDF files are generated through servlets (JWS 2.1). While analysing the problem we have found that the one request invokes the doget() method of the servelet more than once. This problem is not appearing in netscape.
    Please give suggestions.

    I am having the same sort of problem. I have a form posting to a servlet that displays a pdf based on the vars posted to it. My doPost() calls doGet(). When I post to the the servlet the doPost() is called and then it calls the doGet() and then SOMETHING else calls the doGet() again. Since the vars that I am using to load the pdf are posted they are out of scope for the second doGet(). I tried two things to fix this:
    I changed my doPost() method to do nothing but check the request variables and hold on to them. Then I changed my doGet() to use the values that I held instead of the request vars. This only worked sometimes.
    Then when I rolled all of my code back and changed my form from POST to GET everything worked fine. It seems that there is something that causes the browser to always call the GET when you are using application/pdf. If my doPost() calls my doGet() everything is lost on the second doGet()
