Error from reports from ZAM(Graph or PDF) - File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

I just noticed today that any Graph or PDF report I try to view I get the
following error - Error from reports from ZAM - File does not begin with
'%PDF-'. I tried to just save the file and then open it, but get the same
error. I can open other pdf files I have downloaded from other sites ok.
Anyone have any idea? I haven't done anything to that server that I am
aware of in quite a while.
Thanks
Bill

I took a closer look at the files it downloaded, opened them with notepad,
haer is what it says:
XSL Transform or subsequent processing failedThe document has no pages.

PO PDF Error - File does not Begin with '%PDF-'

Hi,
I am working on Implementing PO PDF with XML data and RTF Template. I have created a new template in XML Publisher and followed the following set up steps
Setup / Organizations / Purchasing Options / Control TAB / set 'PO Output Format' = 'PDF'
setup / purchasing / document types / select "Standard Purchase Order" / Set the Document Type Layout to your new template.
When I view the document from PO Summary > inquire > View Document, I get an adobe reader error
'File does not begin with '%PDF-', how ever when I preview it from the template definition, it opens fine.
I tried running PO Output for communication with my custom template but I don't see the parameter 'Purchase Order Layout'. The last parameter in the list is 'Include Blanket'.
Am I missing any set up steps? However when I use the standard Purchase Order Layout in Document Types set up, the Inquire > View Document created a PDF output.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sharmila

I encountered same error in BPA Invoice Print. I remove a MLS function from the program definition and this error disappeared. Have not fully investigated but maybe this will help. Thanks.

Cheers, Vasanth S

hi vasanth,
This issue might not be related to personas.
Is this happening with all the PDFs?
Also, i would recommend you to upgrade your personas SP to latest.

File does not begin with '%pdf' error with adobe reader 10.1.5 onwards

In our web application we are using activePDF toolkit (3rd party component) to fill up carrier forms on the fly which are PDF files.
The output file processed by the above library works fine when opened with adobe reader 8, 9 and10 on end user’s browser (IE); however, it gives below error when opening with adobe reader 11.
Till now, we have tried different settings at IIS level, Internet explorer e.t.c. suggested on different internet posts. However, we are still facing the problem.
While analyzing this we have come across following link
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
According to this adobe 10.1.5 onward file should only start with "%pdf". If file start with other than this we get file corrupted message.
Before we can communicate this message to client we want to confirm this for experts. Please let me know my assumption is right?

Rahti - i'm having the same issue but I not familiar with the steps outlined in the Adobe link below
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
Would you be able to help with how I can navigate to this on my PC to correct it for me.
Thanks.

File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

Please help, all was going fine with our adobe reader and all of a sudden this message started popping up. Here are details:
-Windows 7 64 bit home
-Adobe Reader 9 Version 9.3.0
-IE 9 32 Bit
I have tried installing/uninstalling every possible version of adobe (8,9,10,11) and nothing has worked. Our web application recommends ie9 w/adobe 9.3 which we have used without problems for years. Other computers are having no such issues. Have also gone into adobe preferences and unchecked displaid pdf in browser but then just a window opens with an exxed red box like it cant display. Any help would be appreciated!

The error in your subject line indicates that the file is corrupted.
Since this is happening only on one computer, I suspect that there is something wrong with either Windows or Internet Explorer.
I suggest that you try to download the file to your local disk, then check the file size (and compare it with the same downloaded file on a computer where it works correctly).

Urgent: File does not begin with '%PDF-'

Hi,
I am constantly getting this message when i click on certain PDF documents stored in my collaboration rooms.
Strangely, this is not happening for all the PDF docs and is only applicable to a few documents.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Julian,
Our great basis team was able to resolve the issue. The problem is related to scenarios where apache is being used as a reverse proxy to ignore requests for chunked responses. You do not need to reinstall apache but add the following line in apache config:
RequestHeader unset range

ABAP WebDynpro - ArchiveLink - PDF Error: "File does not start with..."

Hey community,
I have a WebDynpro application in which I want to show a Archive document.
I'm using FM 'ARCHIV_GET_TABLE' and then FM 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'.
But I only get the error message: (see also attached)
File does not open with "%PDF-".
Local\EWH...
Attachment two shows, how the data is stored in TOA03.
Document type is FAX .
I tried several FM and nothing worked.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you very much in advance.
Florian

Hi Florian,
I don't think you need to use FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING.
Just try to make of your binary output table from ARCHIV_GET_TABLE an xstring by concatenating all lines into one xstring.

Julien

Error: File does not begin with '

After changing two javascript "else if" statements to "if" in an Adobe LiveCycle v8 form, I received errors upon saving. Now the file seems to be corrupt because when I attempt to open it I get an error stating "File does not begin with '". Does anyone know what could be causing this AND MORE IMPORTANTLY if there is a way to salvage my form? Please help!

Hi VetSrini,
Thanks for the update. I was able to figure out what was wrong.
Now there is another problem. When i try "View Output", the excel file is shown and the following options are also shown:
1. As an XML List
2. As a read-only workbook
3. Use the XML Source Task Pane
When I try the first option, I get the following error:
An Invalid Character was found in text content
When I try the third option, I get the following error:
Cannot load the specified XML or schema source.
when i press the details button, it gives me the following detailed error:
An Invalid Character was found in text content
When I try the second option, i get the same error, but with some xml tags
Can anyone please help me and tell me why i am getting these errors.
Thanks in Advance,
Arun

Touchup Tool does not work with PDF

I am creating my own pdfs and when I open in acrobat pro I cannot select my text using the touchup text tool. I can select the text when I am just using a cursor, but the touchup text tool cannot seem to find it. The pdfs I am creating are very simple, but they work for everything I need them to work for except the touchup tool. Is there some coding I have to put in to make the text editable? Thanks for any help.

It does not say anything about about the pdf being broken when I open it in acrobat, where is the problem with it? I have a program that created this pdf file so I do not know how to fix it if it is broken.
