This is a long existing issue with Firefox to handle big PDF. Probably should report to Firefox. I do not know if others know how to deal with this.
You can use IE and Safari to open these PDFs. -----Original Message----- From: Shane Beers [mailto:sbe...@gmu.edu] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 12:48 PM To: dspace-tech Tech Subject: [Dspace-tech] Bug (?) opening a PDF in IR via firefox I'm going to guess this is related to the default functionality of how firefox opens PDFs, but I'll ask here anyway. The collection admin for a particular section of our IR wrote me saying that she was getting an error opening a PDF from the IR. She would get the error "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" from Adobe Acrobat. If she right clicked and saved as... to her computer and opened it it was fine. It also opened fine from IE. My guess is that Acrobat is trying to open the file before it has actually completed downloading. The file is 27mb, so that could potentially be the issue. It works fine from my mac and firefox browser, however. Is this a problem anyone else has run into? If so, is it something that can be "fixed" from DSpace's end? Thanks.
