Playbook Browser compatibility with Microsoft Web Apps

Just a humble suggestion. Please ensure that your next software update is completely compatible with the new office Web applications. I have been trying to use my Skydrive account for the last couple of months. I can see my document, open my document in the playbook browser but it will not allow me to add text when using the MS Word Web App. Thanks. If this is fixed I'm excited about what I will be able to do.

SharePoint 2013 cannot view PDF documents in mobile browser with office web apps

Hi,
I'm receiving the following error when viewing SharePoint 2013 PDF documents in a mobile browser after clicking on the filename:
"Viewing of .pdf files has been disabled in Microsoft Word Mobile Viewer. Please get in touch with your helpdesk."
My Question
Is viewing PDF documents in mobile browsers with Office Web Apps SP1 actually supported? If so, how can I enable it? I've already have pdf viewing working in non-mobile browsers. Word documents open just fine on mobile browsers too.
I'm getting conflicting answers for pdf mobile viewing support from various sources:
You've got Microsoft toting that they've added in PDF viewing on any device for Office Web Apps
http://blogs.office.com/2013/07/03/pdfs-in-the-word-web-app/
A MS support person saying saying it is not supported
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_web_apps_server_2013_support_blog/archive/2013/12/31/enabling-pdf-previews-in-document-libraries-with-office-web-apps-2013-in-sharepoint-2013-open-link-does-not-work-from-preview.aspx
Another person implying that it should work because you can disable pdf browsing for mobile browsers only
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/07/24/control-whether-pdfs-open-in-word-web-app-or-the-default-pdf-reader.aspx
What I've tried
When I started looking into this there was a mobile WOPI entry:
Application : WordPdf
Extension : PDF
ProgId :
Action : mobileView
IsDefaultAction : False
ServerName : 20SP8
WopiZone : internal-http
I tried experimenting with tweaking this binding by changing the DefaultAction to true, and even removing it altogether via:
Get-SPWopiBinding -Action "MobileView" -Application "WordPDF" | Remove-SPWopiBinding -Confirm:$false
But I still get the same message.
I removed all the WordPdf bindings and re-added them via:
New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName "<myserver>" –Application "WordPDF" -AllowHTTP
No dice. In fact the mobileview binding doesn't even come back... but I guess that is a different issue altogether.
Version
SharePoint 2013 (SP1)
Office Web Apps Server (SP1)
Farm Setup
Internal facing only
2 front end servers, 1 app server, 1 office web apps server

I think the PDF support, if it exists, in only in Office 365. Always remember that the Office 365 and on premises versions will never be in sync. On premise is updated using periodic service packs and Office 365 has continuous updates. (I've heard every
10 days.)
In my Office 365 / IE 10 tests, the PDFs open in the browser's default PDF viewer, in my case FoxIt Reader. So I can't prove one way or the other about support in Office Web Apps.

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

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.

Is there any solution for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

Hi there!
Is there any solutions for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no build-in feature that convert Office file to image format in Office web app yet.
I'll collect the information, and submit it with internal ways. Then, we could also submit the feedback here:

It's recommended to download and install

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

Yosemite compatibility with microsoft word 2008

I had held off on upgrading to Mavericks because of the issues surrounding the compatibility with Microsoft Word 2008. I am a student and need to use Word to do my work as well as having all of my current documents, including my thesis, in 2008 format. I don't want to risk losing the information or the ability to do my work and I was wondering if there is any information about whether the issue of compatibility with this version had been fixed. I don't have the means to buy a new version of Microsoft but would very much like to be able to update my system since I am still using Mountain Lion.

There has been a better and free alternative to old versions of MS Word and MS Office since forever. Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 is the latest version of a free and complete All-In-One document processor, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation, database, & formula software, found here: http://www.openoffice.org
It also reads, writes and translates MS Word, saves in many formats, and is pretty easy to use. It's entirely modern and compatible with all the latest Mac operating systems. Good luck.

Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 and LabVIEW 2012

Hello community,
on this page there is shown the Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW.
In our company we use actually LabView 2012 and it works perfectly with MS Office 2010.
Has anyone ever tried the "Report Generation Toolkit" of LabVIEW 2012 with MS Office 2013? Does it really not work? Has anyone an emirical value for this topic?

Hi digital_badger,
as you sure have seen in the link it is not officially supported by NI, which means to you one of the following things:
1. You could upgrade your LabVIEW and your Report Gerneration Toolkit to Version 2014 and use MS Office 2013
2. You could just try it with MS Office 2013 which might work but if it's not working you don't get any support from NI.
Even if someone tried it already and it worked for him does not mean that it will work on your machines. It is possible that on some of your machines it could work but not on others. Their can be a lot of problems while playing around with unsupported setups.
3. You could leave your setup as it is and stick to your MS Office 2010.
I hope I could give you a good answer to your question

I work with a web app that will not run on Firefox, so I changed my default browser back to IE but the URL link continues to open in Firefox. How can I get it to default to IE?

After changing my default browser from Firefox back to IE, other URLs are defaulting to IE but I have one URL that continues to default to Firefox. This web app will only run in IE so the only way I can run it is to open IE first and then enter or select the URL. Is there a setting someplace that will change the default browser for this URL to be IE?

You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys 
Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs 
Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser' 
Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
Check the default settings in: 
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left) 
Open: Custom (click arrow on the right) 
Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser" 
Click OK

Smart View add in 11.1.1.3 Compatibility with Microsoft Office 365

Our organization is looking to move to Microsoft Office 365. Is there any compatibility issues with the Smart View add in version 11.1.1.3? I checked the certification documents, but they do not mention anything about Office 365.

Office 365 Web Apps are not supported and cannot be supported as there is no platform for add-in's in that environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13602
Most Office 365 uses cases and users end up with Office installed on the desktop and at that point we are talking about normal Office Support. Right now it is up to the Office 365 administrator to determine the version of Office to be used by their 365 users. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637585.aspx
Short answer is that Smart View does not support Office 365 Web Apps and there are no plans to support the Web Apps.

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:

Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
If I disable editing I got this message:
I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.

Hi Gary Jiang,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing issues about
apps for Office.
Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
Office
Protocols forum.

Issue with office web apps sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document.

Hi All,
i am having issue when trying to open the word file using office web apps farm. i have multi-tier farm (2 wfe, 2 apps and 2 owa). is that something wrong with certificate or the way AAM configured. Can anyone give me some direction please?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you failed to open the word file using office web app.
Please open the word file using office web app in other SharePoint sites and test whether this issue occurs. Also, please test whether all words have this issue.
Please reset IIS on the OWA server.
Please disconnect the SharePoint Farm from Office Web Apps and reconnect it. Then check the WOPIZone and TMG server.
Please created certificate for your PC and update mappings of IP addresses.

Open links to documents with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I am trying to configure SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps Server 2013 in a Multi Tenant environment for a client that has specific requirements when it comes to document handling.
They have a number of document libraries where the majority of their user base will only be able to view the documents it contains using the Office Web Apps Viewer and not be able to download it or access it using the local client (Their SharePoint Group
membership has View Only Permission on the Site). We see exactly this behaviour when the documents are accessed from within the Document Library App or associated Web Part but not if the documents are linked to from elsewhere within the Site, e.g. The
library in question is being used to store newsletters and they want to be able to insert links to the latest newsletter in an Announcement or Newsfeed item. As it stands these links present the user with an access request page or with Read permissions on
their SharePoint Group a browser download dialog.
My initial searches have so far brought up a suggestion to
doing the reverse in search which might be promising and updating workflows to modify the url provided in an email to the appropriate wopi url which in my mind suggests a user manual. Something that would work automatically on at least the
Site, better Site Collection or ideally Site Subscription level is what I am looking for as our clients users are far from technically minded and a lookup table of file extensions and how to construct the url is out of the question.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice provided.

OWA Blank Attachment Preview with Office Web Apps Server

Environment: Exchange 2013 CU3 / Office Web Apps Server 2013
OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
After implementing Office Web Apps server per the Integration with Exchange 2013 instructions, attachment previews in OWA show up as blank windows. The pop up says Opening your mailbox, then goes blank. I have the WAC endpoint configured in Exchange,
I can access the discovery URL from the Exchange servers, and I am seeing event 142. Some forums say that these events should be in the CAS application logs. I am seeing mine in the Mailbox server app logs. Has anyone seen a similar issue.
I have also attempted to view the ULS logs on the Office Web Apps server, but I don't see anything that looks like a rendering request. But, I also don't know what that request would look like. The Exchange and Office Web Apps server are
in the same network with no firewall in between them The local firewalls have also been turned off, so any type of blockage should not be the issue.

I dont want to be happy too soon, but i think for me this did the trick:
from time to time, this event appeared in the application eventlog:
Source: MSExchange Certificate Deployment
Event ID: 2005
Task Category: General
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic
Description:
Federation or Auth certificate not found: ED2C3E86EBE821AAC2C0DEA85CAB5787E2CAC5F3. Unable to find the certificate in the local or neighboring sites. Confirm that the certificate is available in your topology and if necessary, reset the certificate on the Federation
Trust to a valid certificate using Set-FederationTrust or Set-AuthConfig. The certificate may take time to propagate to the local or neighboring sites.
The solution was found here: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/512374-missing-the-microsoft-exchange-server-auth-certificate
1. New-ExchangeCertificate -KeySize 2048 -PrivateKeyExportable $true -SubjectName "cn= Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -DomainName "*.yourdomain.com" -FriendlyName "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -Services smtp
Do not accept to replace the SMTP certificate when prompted
2. Note the thumbprint of the new certificate. Let us assume it is 7A39541F8DF58D4821967DD8F899B27410F7C081
3. $a=get-date
4. Set-AuthConfig -NewCertificateThumbprint 7A39541F8DF58D4821967DD8F899B27410F7C081 –NewCertificateEffectiveDate $a
Accept to continue despite the fact that the certificate effective date is not 48 hours into the future
5. Set-AuthConfig –PublishCertificate
6. Make sure to remove any potential reference to the previous certificate (which might not exist anymore) by doing Set-AuthConfig -ClearPreviousCertificate
Maybe this helps some of you too.
