Ms Sharepoint 2010 corrupts pdfs

Hello. Recently I've discovered that pdf files when uploaded and got back, has been corrupted. Does not matter whether you browse file with ie or download it to local... I've test it more than one pcs. Do you have an idea about this problem.
Thank you advanced..

Hi Ram,
Thank you, I did see the solution by (http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/)
In our environment it is not easy to install 3rd party solutions in a very large SharePoint farm,
I was looking for something OOTB or a little SPD programming
I also saw the 2nd link you sent me, it is the same link that it is in my question. I can include a dynamic link to the SharePoint list item, but it does
not talk about creating a Workflow variable to the files attached to the list item.
The above picture shows the SP List Item has a file attached. it is a word document.
I need to create a Workflow Variable that can get me a URL to that word document file in the [Current Item]

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Cannot complete successful installation of Yammer 3.1.4 Web part on SharePoint 2010 Standard

I have installed Yammer server component successfully.
I have inserted the Yammer Web Part (Ver 3.1.4) onto a page in SharePoint 2010.
However, when in view the page the place on the page where the web part should how up has an error:
System Exception: Unable to load web part.
When I edit the page and look at the web part, it looks normal, showing the feed types, but when I select a feed, like "Company Feed", I get a popup window that says "To save your change before continuing, click OK. To continue without saving,
select CANCEL.

Hi Larry,
According to your description, the Yammer web part doesn't load when you used it in a page.
You must configure the web part to point to a network. Edit the page, select the desired feed, and choose a network. Then, Save the page.

Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2010 with Acrobat X Pro

Is anyone else having problems integrating pdf document support into Sharepoint 2010?
I now have the icon showing for any pdf documents saved in a Document Lirary, However I don't get the options of Checking out - editing an checking in. There is also no revision control. I think that when I open a pdf document, the servers own copy of Adobe Reader opens, and not my local copy of Reader or Acrobat X pro.
I've done what it says in the Administrators guide for Sharepoint integration and I'm still unable to get this functionality to work. As we use interactivve pdfs for a lot of our internal documentation the pdf integration features are very important.
Any help from users who have already been through the pain of sharepoint integration would be really appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Bill,
Looking at your initial problem of not being able to open the SharePoint hosted PDF document from the web browser.
Could you please verify that as per the "Enterprise Administration Guide", the DocIcon.xml file of your server contains the following line:
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>
Please verify that the OpenControl attribute is also mentioned correctly. Without this the Acrobat Active X component would not be invoked.
thanks,
Shivani

Unable to check in PDF into SharePoint 2010 Enviroment with MetaData tags

Hi we have a client that is modifying a PDF file and then wanting to update and check it back into our SharePoint 2010 enviroment. We enforce a MetaData (Term Store) Feild to this Document Library. When Adobe trys to check in the file it bombs and freezes. If we remove the feilds we are able to check in the document. Attached is a screen shot of the Data Fields. Its odd that Adobe Acrobat X adds a GUID at the end of the tag. Is there currently a fix for this to allow adobe acrobat X to be able to check in the files with the MetaData Feild? Also We have updated Adobe Acrobat X to the most current update.

Hi ,
It looks to be a case of indexer problem on your UCM environment . Enable indexer* tracing with full verbose and capture server output with a new excel file check-in .

Submitting a pdf form to a SharePoint 2010 library

Hello,
I have a pdf form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. Right now the submit form button it configured to send the form to an email address. I need to be able to submit the form to a SharePoint 2010 document library but I can't get it to work. I get to the point where I can select the document library. A test document is send with "Testing Writeablility" inside but I am not able to click next to finalize the process. I have included a picture of where I get stuck at.
Is it possible to have a submit button send the form to a SharePoint library?
If it is can anyone please explain what I am doing wrong?
Thank you very much.

In case you need more, than just to save form in library as a file... Take a look on www.pdfshareforms.com. PDF Share Forms is a product wich allows to integrate PDF forms to SharePoint. It provides very powerful functionality: bi-directional data sync between form fields and SharePoint columns, offline support, digital signatures, workflows, etc.

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

Outlook 2010 corrupting incoming pdf attachments for one user

I have one user here that is having incoming pdf attachments get corrupted in Outlook 2010. When she tries to open the file, it gives
the error "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)." I can open the pdf files in her
webmail, and I also installed another mail client which can open the same email attachment fine. It is obviously something about Outlook 2010 that is corrupting the pdf. I have a comparison of email headers from a good email and a corrupt email, as well
as a comparison of the content of a good pdf file vs a corrupt one. The corrupt pdf is all zero's. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Hi,
Please try to save the PDF file to local and then double-click to open it if you haven't tried this.
Also make sure the user has installed the latest version of Adobe Reader.
In addition, did the user get the PDF attached email from an online mail interface? If so, please try to send the user an PDF attachment email using Outlook to check the result. Some email providors (especially web email) encode the PDF's for a faster
transfer but when they are received at the other end, they aren't recognized as a PDF so they get corrupted. See:

Submitting PDF Form to SharePoint 2010 Library

I've inherited a simple PDF form created with LiveCycle ES2. We'd like to be able to let users Submit the result of the form in a PDF format, to a SharePoint 2010 Library using a Submit button. I've added a button and configured the Control Type to Submit. I've added a SharePoint library to the Submit to URL: field and changed to Submit to PDF. Now when I click the button, it opens the SharePoint library but nothing is there. I'm sure there's more I need to do to get this working. Do I need to install the server-side stuff for LiveCycle on the SharePoint server?

This is not striclty my area of expertise so I don't want to give you a bum steer - at best my response is vague but it may give you a few clues of where to start looking. I'm not too sure how you might have confgured this but your PDF form needs somewhere to send the data and then receive and store it - that's not a SharePoint list or document library (I seem to recall reading somewhere that you can do clever stuff with PDF and SharePoint but I don't think it works out of the box like you're describing here - that info basically alluded to using PDF and SharePoint together [like marketing statements] but didn't go into the hows). I suspect that submitting a PDF form may result in an XML data stream but don't quote me on that either. Alternatively if Acrobat is going to collate results then I think the form being submitted may need to end up in the same locaiton as the "master" PDF form but again I'm guessing a bit here too. For all intents the "master" pdf form may need to reside in SharePoint (and as a result it is addressable on a URL or as a file via WebDAV) in which case it will (or ought to) function like any other PDF form where you can collate results to a spreadsheet. If thats all it can do then using SharePoint seems moot. I think Google is your friend here :-)

Sharepoint 2010 .pdf will not open 'There was an error opening this document'

In a Sharepoint 2010 document library attempting to open a .pdf from a machine connected externally to the system the error "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." comes up.
When connected internally .pdf files open as expected.
The .pdfs are being opened in the client application.

I can select a .pdf in the library, then choose 'Download a Copy' in the Sharepoint ribbon, then choose 'read', then the .pdf displays.
But I cannot just click on the item, it will give the error listed above.

Getting an Error when checking a PDF back into Sharepoint 2010

I seem to be getting an error every time i want to check a document back into Sharepoint 2010. Error attached for you.
Does any one have any ideas why this may be happening?

Sorry - I am using Adobe Acrobat XI

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Sharepoint 2010 Site Web Analytics and Site Collection Web Analytics reports

Hello,
On our existing MS CMS 2002 site, we use Google Analytics to track file views, e.g., PDF, DOC, etc. This is very important for us as we need to know who is looking at the files we provide, how often, referrer, from what location, etc. Google Analytics
provides this information when we add the proper GA code to every file anchor e.g.,
<A onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview ('downloads/PDF/filename'); "href="/NR/rdonlyres/B3084801-F110-405E-AF75-7737AB8EC4FD/4542/filename.pdf ">
We are in the process of implementing a new public facing Sharepoint 2010 website. Will native Sharepoint Analytics provide us who/when/from where etc. data on file views as above?
Thanks

Hi ara99,
In SharePoint 2010, we have improved the set of Web Analytics reports that are available out-of-the-box, which will provide insights into
the behavior of users of your SharePoint sites. There are three categories of reports that you will find:
Traffic reports;
Search Reports:
Inventory reports
