Office web apps 2013 March update 2013....pdf preview

the web application is configured as permissive.
I did the following
Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
updated with the march 2013.
restarted the office web apps 2013 server.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://owa.domain.com" -ExternalUrl "https://owa.domain.com" –CertificateName "*.domain.is" -EditingEnabled
New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName "OWA.domain.is" -Application WordPDF
word / excel preview works
(Invoke-WebRequest
https://wac.contoso.com/m/met/participant.svc/jsonAnonymous/BroadcastPing).Headers["X-OfficeVersion"]
gives an error
PDF does not open in browser.
The updates in January were installed automatically.
Is that maybe the problem?
I have seen this:
http://www.wictorwilen.se/sharepoint-2013-enabling-pdf-previews-with-office-web-apps-2013-march-2013-update

Is it not working only for PDF files? I only used the zone external-https as an example so please confirm that you set the right binding. After all applications have the correct binding you need to create a result type for PDFs:
Site Settings > (Search) Result Types and then finding the PDF Result Type. Choose to Copy the Result Type.
Give the new Result Type an appropriate name, “PDF with Preview” for instance. Then scroll down to Actions and in the “What
should these results look like?” drop-down, choose to use the Word Display Template.

Office web apps Server for Sharepoint 2013

Hello,
I used the following article to install office web apps server and hook it up to a test sharepoint server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455(v=office.15).aspx. The OWAS service was verified as working by loading:
https://owas.companyname.com/hosting/discovery
For the sharepoint configuration phase, the following commands were run on the sharepoint machine:
1) New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName "owas.companyname.com" -- (owas.companyname.com) is the host name of the owas server)
2) Get-SPWOPIZone
3) Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-https"
However, office documents are still launching in the desktop office applications, not in the browser. Any ideas of what else I may need to do?
thanks,
Sherazad

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you fail to configure Office Web Apps for your SharePoint 2013.
How about run Get-SPWOPIZone? If you can get a result, it says that your SharePoint have connected with Office Web Apps.
Then you can run below command to change the zone to internal-https.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "internal-https"

Installation - Office Web Apps Server on SharePoint 2013 Foundation - Download missing

Hi all,
I'm trying to download Office Web Apps Server.
As of November 24th, the download was relocated on the Volume Licencing Center (as per this
link ).
Connected to VLCS, I'm trying to find the download from the tree / using filter..... I'm not finding anything.
Was the product renamed / not available at this time ?
Thx

Are you aware of the type of subscription needed to download it?
The client I work for is a government department.... I think they have quite a big subscription!
Thx.
Update
I just found a great link to the list of products available thru the Volume Licensing Program
(http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/products/products.aspx#tab=2).
Office Web Apps Server requires an Office 2013 Licence.... We are checking this requirement right now...

Office Web Apps Error after SP 2013 September 2014 CU

Hello Everyone,
I have a single front end and single SQL server for my SharePoint 2013 deployment. I also have Office Web Apps setup and running. However after installing SP 1 and the latest September 2014 CU it appears our users are seeing the below prompt
when open a Word doc in Office Web Apps.
However I am finding that if they use IE 9 or 10 and even Firefox everything works normal. This appears to be affecting just Word.
As for my Office Web Apps server it is still at Version 15.0.4420.1017 (RTM)
If I need to update my Office Web Apps server what order should i do. SP1, July, then Sept?
Thanks,
Ian...

You need to apply office web app update.
It should be in below order.

Office Web Apps server / Lync server 2013

Hi I have installed a Lync 2013 Server and Office Web Apps Server. Configured Lync topology, Office Web Apps farm and certificates.
However when i start the services i get this error message in the log saying Office Web Apps discovery failed.
Event ID: 41033
Description:
Office Web Apps Server (WAC) discovery failed, PowerPoint content is disabled.
Attempted Office Web Apps Server discovery Url:
Received error message: Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration
The number of retries: 1,
Cause: Office Web Apps Server may be unavailable or network connectivity may have been compromised.
Resolution:
Check HTTPS connectivity from this box to the Office Web Apps Server deployment using the discovery Url.
I can access the OWAS server Url from Lync Server
Connecting to the HTTPS discovery URL is working fine, and brings up the XML-page (after i click "show all content").
The two servers are located on the same internal network, DNS resolves fine both ways, and no firewall rules blocks any connections between the two. Can anyone please help me figure this out?
Only identical problem found online is here (Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration):
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2012/09/10/office-web-apps-server-amp-lync-server-2013.aspx
He resolved the problem by assigning a new OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. This however did not fix the problem in my case.
Regards
Sverre A. Veel

Hi,
In addition, please make sure you have restarted front end and office web apps server after reissuing the certificate.

Office Web App error - unable to open PDF after multiple trials

Hi, we are using Office Web App server 2013 on win server 2012 (NO Sharepoint installed) to preview files (doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx), OWA is set as http, wopihost
is http as well under different from HTTP80, HTTP809 application pool
File conversion if fine for small files and large files to some point - we can process same large pdf (100MB) 30-50 times, but after that there is a message
"Sorry, Word Web App ran into
a problem opening this document. To view this document please open it in Microsoft Word."
Server has plenty of free space, PerfMon
does not show spikes, no memory spikes in Process Manager. ULS logs do not provide any good info either...
No errors in event log under Applications,
System, or Microsoft Office Web Apps sections.
That error will be shown if we process
the same file. if try to process different file it works fine (again - few dozen times), but if after that I try to process first file - it shows error again.
Documents
are located on the same server as OWA installed, same machine has wopi site in non owa application pool (from Microsoft demo
- C#)
The only resolution i found is to reset
WAC server from PowerShell or restart IIS - after that it starts to process original file...
If I just recycle OWA application pools
- HTTP80, HTTP809 it does not help. (tried to change Recycling condition in IIS for those pools - it slightly improves situation but does not resolve).
I can reproduce such pattern with different file types, it just matter of number of hits.
Same error present if we use OWA and wopi on machine as https with certificate.
We use VerboseEx option for logging - no errors in ULS log files, but multiple Sync exiting
early records similar to
Sync exiting early: LastSyncTime = 09/16/2014 14:52:07

at System.Threading.TimerQueueTimer.Fire()
at System.Threading.TimerQueue.FireNextTimers()
---------------------------------There are some paired records
Cached service list has 39 service instances before the update
Cached service lists has 39 service instances after the update
So it goes as follows: OWA processing all formats fine, after trying same 100mb pdf file 50 times (it is possible to get same error with docx, just bigger number of trials) it does not process that pdf file, but processes others.
After IIS reset it works as usual again. After trying another 100mb pdf file 50-60 times OWA stops to process that another file... We are expecting large number of hits and resetting IIS every 30min is not a good solution...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi ,
Thank you for your post.
Whether the issue occurs with different file types or only the PDF.
Based on your description, when you reset WAC server from PowerShell or restart IIS, the issue is solved temporarily.
I recommend that you check the application account, re-enter the account, then reset the IIS.

Does Office Web Apps 2013 supports PDF Portfolio Documents

Hi Team,
Could you please let me know whether office web apps supports Adobe Acrobat X PDF Portfolios (Preview PDF portfolio files through OWA 2013 in SharePoint 2013).
Thanks!
Bharat
Thanks! Palani K

Hi Bharat,
Quote from the link you provided:
The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. You can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio. Depending on the circumstances,
PDF Portfolios offer several advantages over merging multiple files into a single PDF.
Since the issue is related to third party product, I'd recommend you also contact their support engineer for more sufficient resource and assistance.
There is not many articles as I could find that talk about pdf portfolio in Office Web App, here is a similar thread:

Using Office Web Apps Server with SharePoint Foundation 2013

I want to know whether I can configure Office Web Apps server to edit Excel documents on a SharePoint Foundation 2013 site.
I came across a TechNet article that states that "When used together with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App".
However, later in the same article, it states "If your organization licenses Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program, you can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises" (without mentioning Foundation or Server).

Hi Lemesnil,
The Office Web App server should support the Edit licenses for SharePoin Foundation 2013, Office Web App is free to
download, you can also try installing and configuring in a test environment, see more from the below article applied to SharePoint Foundation 2013.

Using office web apps with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I would like to use office web apps in our SharePoint 2013 environment. I would like to know if OWA has to have a dedicated server or can I install it on the SharePoint 2013 app server.
Sherazad

With SharePoint 2013, Office Web Apps cannot be installed on the SharePoint Server, it must be installed on its own server, not shared with any other IIS-based service (it essentially "takes over" IIS).

Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 Server

Hi All,
I have installed a separate server for Office Web Apps 2013 on Windows Server 2012 VM. I have followed TechNet's article on
Deploying Office Web Apps Server & exactly followed steps.
On SharePoint Server 2013 (Windows Server 2012), I followed TechNet’s article on
Configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint. The Office Web Apps on SharePoint 2013 environment works for
Excel document that shows “View in Browser” but
no Preview.
However, PowerPoint and Word documents doesn’t show “View in Browser”. I thought Internet Explorer 10 has some issue with Office Web Apps and checked on Chrome and results were same.
On SharePoint Server 2013 environment, I have configured 3 services applications, MMS, UPS and Excel Service.
1.) Do I need any other service applications to be enabled for OWA 2013?
I read number of blogs,
Installing Office Web Apps Server for SharePoint 2013 (Steve Mann),
Install Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 (Max Melcher) and Spence Harbar
(Enabling Office Web Apps Preview editing with SharePoint 2013). and all these blogs give more or less same steps that I have followed.
Strange thing is that Excel documents on my SharePoint 2013 sites are working but neither word or PowerPoint documents are not showing option for “View in Browser”.
I am using HTTP and not HTTPS.
2. Can someone please advice how could I solve the Office Web Apps 2010 on Word and PPT?
3. How to can enable preview for Excel, Word and PPT documents.
Thanks you.
Regards,
Aroh

Hi Inderjeet and Olafur,
Thanks for your reply.
@Inderjeet: That site collection feature on SP2010 works on our production environment but on SP2013 site collection there is no OWA feature. Microsoft recommends to have a separate OWA2013 server and what I create
a separate VM for OWA2013 server.
@Olafur: Your suggestion looks spot on. The OWA server does show the discovery:
Our SP2013 development server has limited RAM (4GB) and it think is causing the issue.
Let me check if increasing RAM solves the issue.
Thanks again for your suggestions. (Interjeet and Olafur).

Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013

We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features, have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
Thanks
MP

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
Check things below:
1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

PowerPoint presentations not working with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I have deployed Lync 2013 and Office Web Apps Server in order to share PowerPoint presentations. All te sharings are working fine (Desktop, Program, Whiteboard, Poll) but PowerPoint presentations.
I have re-installed Office Web Apps Server several times but it doesn't work:
Discovery URL is OK
Event IDs in Lync Server Event Viewer are OK
I have checked certificate and created it twice and that's not the problem (when tried to use a wrong certificate, the behaviour was different).
Tried aspnet_regiis but didn't worked.
Both Lync Server and Office Web Apps Server are updated.
Servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
I have tested both Lync 2013 and Lync 2013 Basic clients but no one works.
When I share a PowerPoint, I can see it follows the whole way through LyncShare, Lync Server and Office Web Apps Server. PowerPoint files get to Office Web Apps Server (different name but I can move then to other workstation and check
they are the files shared).
Clients begin showing a "Loading..." but end showing "Network connectivity lost or server too busy" (after 90 seconds more or less).
If I get URL from Lync-UccApi-0:
https://wacserver.domain/m/Presenter.aspx?a=0&e=true&WopiSrc=https%3A%2F%2Flyncpool.domain%2FDataCollabWeb%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2F11-1-90C848&access_token=AAMFEECCjUt7489YhSlhQY4GBWcGEIsJ8vG8JQH9w0g_TTTVe3aBEECCjUt7489YhSlhQY4GBWeCApwQgyBHjXVmSaUT70sAAlMNX4oAfTt5Nqgy5sJwqlLneNAxGYYIsFS5edC90AgIDURhdGFDb2xsYWJXZWI&<fs=FULLSCREEN&><rec=RECORDING&><thm=THEME_ID&><ui=UI_LLCC&><rs=DC_LLCC&>
If I put this URL in the browser, it turns black and shows "Loading..." and, after a long while, "PowerPoint Web App...", but it remains in this state (loading) without working.
In the Office Web Apps Server Event Viewer there are some errors related to other services I'm not using, as OneNote, or for Monitoring with the "PositiveDirect" and "NegativeDirect" tokens. Machine also answers it's
Unhealthy, but as I have read, this is not a problem.
In the ULS Logs I just see errors related to these events but logs for PowerPoint work fine. And IIS is answering with "200" (although there are a number of petitions that seem to be repeated:

It seems that something is not working between the clients and Office Web Apps Server. There is not a firewall and machines see each other. Certificate is accepted.
I have tried so many thing but none of them worked.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks!

Hi Thamara,
There is a HLB but I thought of that and tested both: with HLB and pointing just a Front End, without HLB. In both cases, results were the same.
I can access the Front End pool web services from the WAC server using the IE.
I'm watching now this event:

It seems that PPTs are being queued as they aren't actually showed.
Does this give you any clue?
Thank you very much.

Office Web Apps - working in other browsers but not Internet Explorer

Hi there,
I have office web apps on my SharePoint 2013 environment. The previews work file when hovering next to a document but if I try to open it, I get "Sorry, we ran into a problem". It looks as though Excel files open okay but I
have tested Word and Powerpoint documents and I get this error. Also, it only appears to happen in Internet Explorer - Google Chrome and Firefox are okay. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice. I installed the hoftix (on the OWA server) and now it appears to really be broken - nothing is opening using office web apps anymore.
I found this blog with the same errors I am getting - I'm guessing I will need to uninstall etc. too??

Exchange and Office Web Apps Integration - Wrong Url to Outlook Web App port 444

Hi,
I'm trying to setup Office Web Apps integration with Exchange 2013. Office Web Apps are working fine with SharePoint 2013 and the WAC servers are listed as in a healthy state.
When trying to open an office document from OWA I get the usual "Sorry...we ran into a problem. Please try again"
However I have noticed that the URL that OWA is passing WAC is in the format: https://exchangeservername.domain.com:444/owa/[email protected]/wopi/files...
This is the backend server address! All the internal and external urls for owa, ecp, ews etc are set to https://mail.domain.com and they all seem to be working fine. Client Access and Mailbox roles are on the same server.
If I change the url to https://mail.domain.com/owa/[email protected]/wopi/files... then the office file opens correctly in Office Web Apps
How do I correct the URL that OWA is sending Office Web Apps?
Thanks!

Hi DJL,
If everything works well except open document via OWA, it seems Exchange server 2013 has been configured correctly.
Please follow me to check Office Web Apps Server settings and Integration.
OWAS settings
1. Certificate:
Come from a trusted CA, include FQDN of OWAS farm in SAN field.
Exportable private key.
Friendly name must be unique within Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store.
2. Farm:
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm with following parameters
-InternalURL is the FQDN of the server that runs OWAS
-ExternalURL is the FQDN so that OWAS can be access on the Internet
-CertificateName is the friendly name of the certificate to be used for HTTPS
3. Explore this URL https://mail.domain.com/hosting/discovery
If OWAS works well, you can see a WOPI-discovery XML file in web browser.
Integration
1. Configure OWAS URL via EMS,
Set-OrganizationConfig –WACDiscoveryEndpoint https://mail.domain.com/hosting/discovery
2. WAC stands for Web Access Components.
Check App Log the 140 and 142 Event IDs for MSExchange OWA.
142 means the discovery of the OWAS was successful, 141 means something went wrong.
3. Enable OWAS.
By default, OWA Virtual Directory is already enable WAC Viewing on both public and private computer.
Please run "Get-OwaVirtualDirectory | FL *wac* "to check whether both “WacViewingOnPublicComputersEnabled” and “WacViewingOnPrivateComputersEnabled” parameter is True.
4. Method to collect logs on OWAS.
Run following command in OWAS powershell prompt:
Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm | FL *log*

Office Web Apps Integration in a Test Environment

I am trying to test Office Web Apps in an Exchange 2013 test environment and therefore have setup my farm for HTTP only. I have set the WAC Discovery End Point on the Exchange server and I can browse to the XML successfully however when I preview files
they are still being displayed using Web-Ready Document Viewer. I have checked the Event Log and found event ids 140 and 141.
Event 141 lists the following error - There was a failure connecting to or otherwise retrieving Data from the Wac Discovery Service. We will fall back to stellent. Successfully retrieved configuration data from http://server01/hosting/discovery, but
retrieved discovery xml does not contain an external https net zone node.
Do I need to configure HTTPS with a certificate in order to get this working in a test environment or should it work with HTTP?
Thanks

Hi Luke,
Based on my research, I found some people solved this issue via resarting MBX server and CAS server on Exchange 2013 server.
