RE: Adobe Reader 6.0 problem

[Koes, Derrick]

Thanks Claudio and Celine. I think neither of these are my problem. My servlet is quite similar to the FopServlet.java that comes with the binary distribution examples.   Content type is set to application/pdf and the content length is set (which HTTPServlet will interpret as a Keep-Alive connection).  However, that's all that is set in the response header.   Derrick     -----Original Message----- From: Claudio De Bernardi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 12:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Adobe Reader 6.0 problem   I don't if the problem is similar to that I experienced some time ago. I had problem with Adobe Acrobat Plugin and Explorer (note that Netscape plugin and Acrobat window didn't have any problem). With some pdf file (not all) streamed from servlet the only result I get was a blank page. Sniffing the tcp packet I discovered that Explorer was waiting for data while server terminated the connection. I had that problem only on a JBoss/Linux platform, the same code running on Weblogic/Solaris worked fine ( I think the actual difference was the XML parser ). I  noticed that  the strange behaviour was related in some way to the file size. I "fixed" it by adding a white background image with size greater than 5K to the pdf page.

They were Pragma, no-cache and Cache Control, no-cache. I changed them to use an expiry date instead. I hope this helps.   Celine -----Original Message----- From: Koes, Derrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 July 2003 16:06 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Adobe Reader 6.0 problem I've already posted this to the Adobe forum, but I thought it couldn't hurt posting it here too.   Adobe Reader 6.0 causes Internet Explorer to "encounter a problem" opening a pdf (streamed from a servlet) on some occasions.  Changing the preference setting to open in an acrobat window will allow the pdf (streamed from a servlet) to open without a problem.   This problem DID NOT exist in Acrobat Reader 5.1.   The details of the error message are as follows:   Error signature AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName: pdf.ocx ModVer: 6.0.0.878 Offset: 001f196   Any help is very much appreciated. Since the data can be opened in an acrobat window, but not in the browser, I believe that the pdf I created is OK but the activeX plug-in for Adobe Reader 6.0 and/or Internet Explorer is broken.   As I stated earlier, this only happens on occasion.  The one common trait that these exhibitions contain is a "long" URL.  If the URL is short, the pdf opens without problem.   Has anyone else experienced this problem?   Derrick       This electronic transmission is strictly confidential to Smith & Nephew and intended solely for the addressee.
