Issue while opening pdf files

Hello Experts,
We have a URL iview which is pointing to a HTML file and from HTML file we are calling a pdf document.When user clicks on link, pdf is not opening in some
laptops(but it opens properly in some laptops).We are on EP6,Adobe reader8.0.0 and IE6.URL called is
https://demo.xyz.com/ccp/demo%20test/demo%20test1/Test1234_test.pdf
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance
Kiran

very strange, the error seems not even to be consitent, is the pdf also stored in km?
Reason why I ask is because you mention "file not found" and that is very strange...
Did you do a http trace? for example with ieHTTPheaders --> http://www.blunck.se/iehttpheaders/download.html
These kind of tools can help you debug based on the http request/respons.
Good luck,
Benjamin

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

Strange question mark error while opening pdf files in adobereader from SAP

Hi Gurus
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
This issue occurs few times a day
This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
Environment
SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
Windows Vista Enterprise
Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
Please suggest
Thank you
Pavan

Thank you for the quick reply.
We tried many notes from Service Market Place. Also, Windows Team is in contact with Adobe.
As per Adobe's suggestions, we tried changing preferences of Adobe Reader. We think it might be a problem with SAP Frontend.
Present status - Issue still exists. nothing works.
Thank you

There are instances where Adobe 9 has problems opening in SAP Portal. This happens intermittently.
Try uninstalling the Adobe and downgrade to Adobe 8.

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Rusty Solomon : Adobe Reader Error while opening pdf files

Hello everyone,
I have a systematic error opening PDF files with Adobe Reader X (10.1.1)
"Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. Please excuse us for the inconvenience."
By waiting I installed Foxit but I would understand.
I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled but it's still the same.
Thank you for your answers in advance
Rusty Solomon

First I would try to update to 11.1.8.
If that does not fix it, tell us your operating system.

Error while opening PDF file downloaded from database Blob column

Hi All,
I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.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 docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Kanika

Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
Here is the code snippet ..
byte[] buff;
buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = is.read();
int b = is.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
if(blobDomian != null) {
TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
am.getTransaction().commit();
This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
Any thoughts from your side ???
Thanks
Kanika
The problem is resolved.
Changes made are instead of
InputStream is;
used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
and after
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = bis.read();
int b = bis.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

Error While Opening PDF File in SAP Inbox

Hello Experts,
I am facing a weird error in SAP Inbox while opening a PDF files (both created by custom ABAP programs as well as the one attached to a new SAP Inbox message from my desktop & sent to my Inbox as a test).
The error states that "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.".
I checked TCode DC30 also & found an appropriate program is already maintained for PDF.
I couldn't make out more out of this error message. Any inputs in this regard will be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Shaurya

Hi,
Find out the FM that's generating the actual error through de-bug and analyze the same by looking in OSS and or SDN.

Error while opening PDF file created in SAP System

Dear Friends,
We have customized transaction through which a Inspection Lot gets generated with predeifned Inspection Characteristics data. User enters the reading in that Inspection Lot and SAVE. In another customized transaction, this Inspection Lots gets Released and when released, SAP System generates PDF file through this custmized program and send it to repspective Mangers through SAP Inbox for view. Before 07.10.2010, this was working correctly. On 08.10.2010, our Basis team has applied patches provided by SAP. Afte that the generated PDF file can not be open. Error message shows that this file is damaged OR corrupted.
We wrote to SAP support but they advise to contact DAP Forum for the customized program, SAP supprt will not help.
We need help to overcome this issue.

Upgrade to Netweaver causing problem while opening pdf file in the portal

After an upgrade to Netweaver 4.0, the following code for opening a pdf file constructed from a byte stream passed from an RFC fails.
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse myResponse = request.getServletResponse(true);
myResponse.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"AIPDoc.pdf\"");
myResponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
ByteArrayOutputStream baosPdf = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
OutputStream os = myResponse.getOutputStream();
os.write(pdfResult);
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, os);
It throws a "file not found error" on opening directly. However, if saved and viewed; it opens fine. I believe we need to specify the portal url in the filename but not sure.
Thanks,
Devina

Hi Devina,
We are also opening a pdf file constructed from a byte stream passed from an RFC. Our problem is that we are experiencing inconsistent results. The file appears to open on some PC workstations but not on others. When it doesn't work we simply get a blank screen in the window. Did you resolve your issue? If so, perhaps you can provide us with some suggestions for solving our problem.
Thank you,
Angie

Issue with opening pdf file from web browser

I have Acrobat Pro ver 6 and Adobe Reader 9.1 on a computer. when my user tries to open up a pdf from the web he is getting the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a WEb Browser. Adbe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
What also happens is that Acrobat Pro ver 6 opens up and nothing is there.
I am not sure why he is getting that message since Reader 9.1 is installed.
Can any one shed some light on this for me.
This user needs to have Acrobat and Reader on his system. I understand that there are issues with having both.
Also he has it set up so that any PDF is opening using the Reader 9.1.
Thanks,

Your PC's default reader configuration for embedded PDFs has become confused, due to multiple Adobe PDF document solutions installed on one PC.
Solution 1:
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Make sure that the correct Default data value is set for the path where Adobe Reader or Acrobat are installed.
The default installation values are:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
or
"C:\Program Files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (not sure about this path. Check on your PC to be sure)
depending on whether Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat is installed.
Solution 2:
Configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application.
If you are using Firefox to browse the web, you can change this setting in Firefox by going to:
Tools > Options
Click on the "Applications" Tab.
The first item in the list should be "Adobe Acrobat Document". Under the Action list, click the drop down arrow and select the application you want to read PDFs within the web browser. Click OK, and you should be done.
If you're using Internet Explorer to view PDFs, try the below steps.
After you configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application, the browser starts the helper application in a separate window and displays PDF files within that window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader both include a preference that lets you specify Acrobat or Adobe Reader as the helper application.
To configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application:
Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Choose Edit > Preferences.
Select Internet on the left.
Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.
Quit Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
The next time you select a link to a PDF file in the browser, a dialog box asks what you would like to do with the file. If you select Open It, the browser opens the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader (the helper application); if you select Save It To Disk, the browser saves the PDF file to your hard drive.

I am having issues with opening pdf files directly from website on safari.

i cant open any pdf files from safari. the page goes blank when the link is clicked.
the same, however, can be easily viewed upon and saved on chrome or firefox.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
