Unable to open a KM document iView

Hi Experts,
I've uploaded an xls file in one of the folders in the KM content. I've created a KM document iView in order to access the uploaded  xls file. Now when I click on this iView in the portal I get a dialg box wherein it asks me to Open, Save or Cancel the file. I am able to save the file succesfully in my lcal desktop but if I choose the option to open the file directly without saving it, the file does not open up and it displays another dialog box to Save or Cancel the file.
I've also uploaded a pdf file in the same folder in the KM and have created a KM document iView to access it and I am able to open it properly without any problem.
The problem is coming only with the xls file.
I am able to open the xls file directly from the KM folder. But I am not able to open it as a KM iview.
I've checked the "Path to Document" property and it is absolutely fine. The file extension is also correct and the file is not corrupted.
Could any of you please help me in fixing this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi there,
Actually the name of the xls file is "US_Material_Group_GL_Account_Mapp" and the size of the file is 361 KB.
Now the "Path to document" as defined in the KM Document iView is  "/etc/<OuterFolderName>/Help Files/US_Material_Group_GL_Account_Mapp.xls".
Now, I don't think that the name of the xls file or even the path defined in the "Path to Document" property exceeds 217 characters.
Could you please have a look at the file specifications once as provided and suggest something?
At present I am using IE version 6.0 and I tried it out in higher IE versions also but it did not work out.
Or does it have any association with the MS office files and I did not face any problem with pdf file.
Also, is there any other kind of iView that can be created for an xls file which is kept in the KM folder?
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

  • Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

    Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

  • I am unable to open attachments (Word Documents, Excel file, Adobe) from my Gmail with Firefox.

    You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
    I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
    application/pdf
    Acrobat Portable Document Format
    Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
    (in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
    While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
    You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
    It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
    Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Unable to open older pages documents

    hello
    i've got a problem with the pages software.
    i've got the older version of 'pages' (4.3) and i've installed just recently the new version.  at least i think i have.  when i go to apple store and see recent downloads, i can see the new version of pages has been installed/bought (although i don't recall paying for it or receiving an invoice??)
    however, i'm now unable to open any pages documents that i created in 4.3.   i keep getting the message 'a new version of pages is needed to open this document'.
    when i click on 'more info' i get the apple pages site and i click on 'view in apple store' but from the apple store the new pages is 'installed'.
    so i'm stuck and typically, like today, i reeeeeeeally need this file.
    i've got a basic mac (bought in 2010) - i'm running os x 10.9.2.  there's no updates currently available.
    any ideas anyone?? 
    many thanks

    You have Pages 5 in Applications folder and Pages 4.3 in Applications/iWork 09 folder.
    Pages 5 is taking command and it seems you have opened the documents in PAges 5 without knowing it though they do not look quite the same when opened. See if you can open the document in Pages 5 and then go File > revert  or File > export > Pages 09

    I have verified in IIS , excel service related Application pool has started . and unable to recycling, throwing error message not possible
    Is it requried to restart the server???

    Hi,
    Please check your event log and see if there is relevant error message.
    If you have observed event id 5021 like this "The identity of application pool 625dfcc8e4054c7d8da14feaca288250 is invalid. The user name or password that is specified
    for the identity may be incorrect, or the user may not have batch logon rights".
    Then the error indicates the issue is caused by either of these:
    1. The account doesn’t have user rights to to “log on as a batch job” and “log on as a service” in group policy.
    2. The account permission is out of sync between SharePoint database and AD.
    If not, let me know the event id.

  • Unable to open a PDF document.

    Have Adobe Reader XI.  Am unable to open PDF documents and forms that are posted on-line.  A small black square appears in the upper left corner of the screen.  Have tried suggested fixes found on your website and nothing works.  I am becoming extremely frustrated with this software.  Is there a real live person I could talk with about this problem?

  • Unable to open a Page document on another computer

    I used Page to create a document and then emailed it to my home to continue working. I have Page on this computer, but when I try to open I get the message -- Unable to open “Gardiner List.pages” because it isn't a valid Pages document.

    I have just had the same problem. Another Mac user sent me a Pages 09 file that had been saved in Pages 08 format, but I could not open with my Pages 08. Then he sent me a Pages 08 file he created and I could not open that either. He also sent me a DOC version of the file, which I could open in Pages 08. Also, he had no problem opening a Pages 08 document that I sent him. Help.

    Hi,
    For this, if the user is added in admin group the reports will open. Otherwise assign admnistrator privileges to the mentioned Id and check.
    If you don't like to do so try this 'move the report to another folder and then move it back, it works'.

  • Unable to open a Word document?

    Hey,
    Was wondering if someone can provide me guidance as to why I cannot open a Word document sent to me (the file is received and downloaded by email).
    The error message that I get whenever trying to open the document is as follow:
    Tried opening the document using other software but without success. Also tried the suggested in the error message (i.e. repaired the file, open with text recovery... no success)
    I previously used PCs to open the same document. I notice that PCs from Asia are able in opening the file, while PCs in North America weren't... Very confused about the file type.
    Appreciate all your help!
    Peter

    Hi Csound1,
    I do agree that it has to do with the file itself. As far as I can see, the file itself is a .doc (Word document).
    I attached a document info screen shot here:
    Thanks again.

  • Unable to open any adobe document

    After the adobe security breach I cancelled my credit card and allowed my subscription to Adobe XI Pro to cancel.  Since then I have not been able to open ANY adobe document.  This means that I get stuck in a loop and the only thing I'm getting from Adobe is high blood pressure!!!
    Any chance someone out there can tell me what to do?
    frassled

    Thanks Claudio,
    I have attempted to open adobe documents sent as attachments.  Once I click on them I am brought to an Adobe pop up which asks me to renew my subscription or manage my subscription.  Once I choose manage my subscription I am brought in to my Adobe account and see that the subscription has been cancelled.  I have found my way in to a 'loop' in which I can get no further. On one occassion I was given the option of clicking a link to allow me Chat to an Agent but there was no link.
    What other information do you need?
    regards

  • Unable to open files in Documents

    Hi all,
    I've looked all over the internet for the solution to the problem I've been getting but I'm yet to have any luck with it.
    The only way I can explain it is by posting a picture. I'm unable to open any of my files or get any info on them.
    I was wondering if anyone knew what this was and how I can resolve it?
    Thanks

    Have you run Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility to repair permissions?  That would be the first thing I would recommend.

  • Unable to open existing Illustrator documents

    Help! I cannot open existing Illustrator documents! I haven't changed anything. All of a sudden when I go to File and choose to open a document it just freezes the application. I can create new documents, but not open old ones. This is a big problem.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application. I have tried opening the documents using my Finder window or through the application. Regardless of my method the existing documents will not open and cause the application to freeze. It doesn't give me an error message it just says "application not responding." I then can click to report the problem to Apple, which I have.
    Any ideas? Suggestions? Solutions?

    Post you problem in the Illustrator forum here http://forums.adobe.com/community/illustrator/illustrator_general. They will be able to help you.

    Hi,
    First thing after seeing your screenshot : URL are limited to 255 char. The URL seems very long. Is your URL
    more than 255 characters ? If yes ... you will not be able to open the document
    We need more information about the problem.
    Is the error only on one item or on each items of the document library ?
    If it's on each items did you try with another browser or on another computer ?
    If it's only this PPT file, do you have other powerpoint into this document library ? maybe try to upload another one.
    If you can open other PPT, try to click on the arrow next to your items and try to download a copy on your desktop ... try to open the file to verify the file is not corrupted.
    Also, don't forget to check your logs in the SharePoint Hive to have more information about your error.
    Best Regards,
    Frederic
