Error opening PDF within Workbench

Hello,
We are on SAP MII 12.1.7 build 47 (SP07 patch 02)
I created a simple transaction to create PDF and stored under default web folder. The transaction runs fine, the PDF gets saved but when I try to open it within workbench I get following error
Files of this type cannot be loaded in the workbench, just imported and deleted
I tried saving both using
db://
and
web://
but when export the same PDF to my desktop i can open it properly and also contains needs data.
So, is it not allowed to open PDF within Workbench? or am I missing something here?
Please suggest
Regards,
Adarsh

You are correct - the workbench does not open PDF files (they can't be edited there anyhow).
If you want to see it then just use the relevant http path in your browser like any other web page.

Difference between opening PDF within IE with pressing SHIFT key and without SHIFT key

Hi,
I want to know when we open a PDF file within Internet Explorer it is using ActiveX control AcroPDF.dll behind the scene.
Now If I open PDF within IE with keep pressing SHIFT key the behavior is different then without pressing SHIFT key?
Is AcroPDF.dll behaves differently in this situation?
Thanks,
Twinkle

I've saved two files on my desktop:
f1040.pdf - downloaded from www.irs.gov - 187 KB
afmod07.2.1g.pdf - downloaded from my intranet - 1,04MB
I've powered off my PC and restarted for each file. I've opened files with double-click on them. I've encountered the same problem, when double-clicked on files in task manager two Acrord32.exe appeared, the PC was doing anything for about 10 second, after that I've encountered no activity in task manager (numbers not vary) for other 10 seconds (like freeze) and after that other about 10 seconds of loading. So after about 30 seconds the file opens with stand-alone Acrobat Reader (11.0.10).
If I retry now (after the first slow startup "of the day") the file opens in 2-3 seconds.
So:
- first open of the day or rebooting PC: 30-45 seconds
- second open of the file: 2-3 seconds
This is happening only with PDFs with forms.

Problem opening PDFs within an App-V session of Internet Explorer

I've seen similar post to this problem but no solution.
Problem is I am delivering a web based application using App-V. This works fine except when the User tries to open PDFs. This fails with the following error - "Adobe PDF Document" "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader"
"If it is running, please exit and try again"
I've tried the following scenarios, all fail.
Test with Reader already open and with it not open.
LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED set to TRUE or FALSE
Windows XP or Windows 7
Sequencing with Reader 10 installed which produces a different "Visual C++ Runtime error" on Windows XP (within the sequencing Process I'm unable to open a PDF document) Sequencer is 4.6.2.24020.
Reader Protected Mode turned Off or or Enabled (outside the App-V bubble)
Failure testing internal and external PDFs
Reader 11 makes no difference, still get the same failues.
Using ProcMon I can see AcroRd32.exe running but failing with "Access denied" error's writing to the Users's %Appdata%\Adobe folder and %temp% folders (permssions should not be an issue, User has full control). Last Access denied failure
is "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\UserCache.bin"(still fails is this is deleted or already exists)
It works fine just opening a PDF in a non-App-V IE session. I don't want to include Reader inside the IE Bubble.
Has anyone foudn a resolution to this? Thanks in advance for help.

Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
and
Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
(response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
"Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter

Error opening pdf file, but then it still opens

I am having trouble when I open a pdf.I am using the code below to open a pdf.
on mouseUp me
acro = bafindapp("pdf")
if acro = empty then
    acrofile = me.pPDF
    alert "This program was unable to find a suitable program on your system to open a PDF document. It will open www.adobe.com, where you can download a free viewer"
    goToNetPage "http://www.adobe.com"
else
    open the moviePath & "Resource\" & me.pPDF with acro
end if
end
When this is on a button, adobe reader will open, but gives an error saying "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."
When I hit the ok button on the error notice, the pdf opens.
Any ideas why I am getting this message even though the pdf opens after dismissing the message would be appreciated.

The reason I assumed, or asked, whether it was Windows-only is because of your use of the backslash character as the folder delimiter. To make the script cross-platform try the following:
on mouseUp me
acro = baFindApp("pdf")
if ( acro = EMPTY ) then
    alert "This program was unable to find a suitable program on your system to open a PDF document. It will open www.adobe.com, where you can download a free viewer"
    goToNetPage "http://www.adobe.com"
else
    mPath = _movie.path
    tFile = mPath & "Resource" & mPath.char[length(mPath)] & me.pPDF
    if baFileExists(tFile) then
      OK = baOpenFile(tFile, "normal")
      if ( OK < 32 ) then
        -- see docs for numbers and their meaning
        alert "Error opening file:" && OK
      end if
    else
      alert "File not found:" &RETURN& tFile
    end if
end if
end

Error opening PDF files on the network

I have documents in PDF format on my internal network, but when I open them directly from the network using the Adobe Reader, I get the following message:
"There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found". But this occurs in only a few users, and possibly users who did not have this error, they have. We found that uninstalling and reinstalling the software solves the problem, but then it returns. Is there any explanation?

Adobe Reader 11.0.09;
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional;
I'm accessing the file from a local network drive. The file is located in one of our servers.

Error opening PDF files from search results webpart on anonymous SharePoint 2013SP1 site with IE

Clicking search results, in the strict sense pdf files, using IE on an anonymous SharePint 2013SP1 site, I received the error: There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I would like to solve this problem on the server side.

added permission to open items: $Web.AnonymousPermMask64 = "ViewListItems, ViewVersions, ViewFormPages, Open, ViewPages, UseClientIntegration, OpenItems"
Client side solutions:
c1) Open Link with “Open in new tab” or “Open in new window” => OK
c2) Disable IE Add-on “Adobe Acrobat Sharepoint OpenDocuments Component” => OK
c3) Set bDisableSharePointFeatures to 1 in regetit => OK
Server side solutions:
S1) Turn off Client Integration => didn't work, still same error
S2) Modify DOCICON.XML => didn't work, still same error
I gave these two options a chance:
first: <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
then: <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>
I modified DOCICON.XML on both hives 14 and 15.
Remarks:
- After changingparameters I allways did an IISreset.
- As far as I understood I can only change bDisableSharePointFeatures on Client Side.
Any help, suggestion, idea wellcome!
Thanks!

Hi folks, here's the reason for my problem. I used the oob search result web part. The result items (PDF items) are rendered by the template Item_PDF.html/Item_PDF.js. This template holds a code snippet that assigns a certain OpenControl to the PDF item - that's hard coded. So, no matter what you configure in DOCICON.XML, the PDF item will be opened with the control "PdfFile.OpenDocuments". Solution is e.g. just to leave the OpenControl blank.
template:
/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_PDF.html
/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_PDF.js
code before:
ctx.CurrentItem.csr_OpenControl = "PdfFile.OpenDocuments";
code after:
ctx.CurrentItem.csr_OpenControl = "";
Enjoy
Harry

Error opening pdf and file can't be found,why

I received an attachment in my BT emails and opened it,then printed it.When I tried to find it so I could copy it to my Outlook emails it had disappeared. Adobe said there had been an error opening it and the file could not be found.What happened and why?
Hacien

I described what had happened when I tried to view a pdf, and said that when I found the pdf and tried to open it again, all I had was a message telling me there had been “an error” and as a result the file could not be found. I don’t know if it was hidden or deleted and asked “why did it happen”
If Adobe does not give me any more information than that, how am I supposed to give any more information?
It was the first time I had used the Adobe reader, and I was not expecting someone to be so terse in their reply to my query. As the song says, “Everybody’s got to learn some-time.” It would be easier if the ones who DO know could remember the time when they didn’t know.
To avoid further embarrassment, I will withdraw and not attempt to use your forum again.

Error opening PDF in 9.1.0 ("Insufficient Data for image") and 7.0.9

I generate PDF documents in code (basically converts TIFF images to PDF, using FOP).
Few of the PDFs can not be viewed on Adobe Reader 9.1.0, and 7.0.9. But, these open fine on 8.0 version.
With 9.1.0 version I get error as "Insufficient Data for image"
With 7.0.9 the error is "A drawing error occured"
8.0 works fine and opens the PDF.
Is there any issue with 9.1.0 for opening PDFs, I got this version installed recently on my system.
Appreciate an early help/views on this issue.
Thanks,
Umakant

Try this - from adobe support!
It worked for me and (as it seems) solved a one year long anoying issue.
1. Exit Acrobat.
2. Choose Start > Run, and type: %APPDATA%\Adobe\Acrobat\ into the Open text box. Click OK.
3. Right-click either the 6.0 or 7.0 folder, and choose Delete.
I deleted both folders.
Dont worry these two preferences folders will automatically be renewed by acrobat!

Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?
Adobe Reader           9.3.2
Internet Explorer:        8 up to date
Message was edited by: battleaxes1

Hi, thank you it is working now, I deinstalled and reinstalled the complete
acrobate set, the reader is version 11 now,

Error opening pdf's from PC stored on Mac

I have been experiencing an error when attempting to open pdf's stored in the public folder on our Mac.
The message reads:
"There was an error opening this document. The file is already open or in use by another application."
It doesn't matter which PC we use to access the pdf's from and happens regardless of which version of Acrobat is being used, the same error occurs.
The public folder on the Mac has no restrictions.
Mac 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel
OS 10.9.4
Adobe Creative Suite 2014
*Also discovered none of the InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator files can opened from PC's can be opened while they are stored on the Mac either.
Thanks,
Chuck

Thanks for responding. We do not work using a Windows domain.
I can open .txt and Microsoft Publisher files, but I get errors on nearly everything else including any Adobe product files and Word files.
We used to keep files both the PC and Mac had to access on an external network drive, but exporting pdf's from the Mac (as well as opening and saving) took too long. So we moved everything to the Mac. If I have to work on a file I have to drag it to the PC desktop. We can't save directly to the Mac either. Files have to be copied onto the Mac.

Error Opening PDF from IE

When I click on a PDF link in a website in Internet Explorer 6, I receive the following error: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." I can choose to save the file to disk and then it opens normally from there. All our computers here should be configured the same and this works properly on another computer.
This originally occurred using Adobe Reader 8.0.0, so I downloaded and installed 8.1.2 and it still is doing the same thing.
I tried right clicking the link to open in a new window but I am receiving the same message either way.
Any help would be appreciated.
Matthew K.

Check the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Here check the default value. On an english machine, it has to be set to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
If you installed Adobe reader to a different directory, enter the path where "AcroRd32.exe" is to be found.

Error opening PDF using webdynpro

Hello All,
I created a webdynpro application that opens a pdf document using the code described in the following link.
Open PDF in New External Window
I am getting the following error:
"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
But I am able to open the same file using another ASP application.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance.

Nikhil and Vinod,
Thanks for your response. I used this code but it is not working. I am still getting the same error.
In my application, I am not reading the pdf from a file. Instead, it is stored in the database as a blob. I am reading the data using the following code:
Blob pdfBlob = resultSet.getBlob(COLUMNNAME)
byte[] pdf = new byte[1024]
pdf = pdfBlob.getBytes(1,(int)blob.length());
I am storing this value in a context and then displaying it as a pdf. I am using the following code to get bytes
byte[] pdfBytes = wdContext.currentElement().getBLOB(); (BLOB - name of the context attribute where bytes are stored)
and using the following code to open the pdf document (as suggested)
IWDResource pdfResource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(pdfBytes,"test.pdf",WDWebResourceType.PDF);
* wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(pdfResource.getUrl(0),"test.pdf").show();*
Am I missing anything here?
How can I force the pdf document to open in a browser window instead of Adobe?
Thanks in advance.
