The process to enable AdobePDFViewer in Higfh Sierra appears to have changed a
bit. Maybe it changed earlier, but I did not notice.

David,
I hear you. I am being a bit stubborn just because it should be working, it
isn’t, and I want it to.
This is being deployed on windows and it is working just fine there. So no need
to buy anything, but it’s annoying that it does not work on the Mac.
I think I am going to call TS and if
I think the problem may be High Sierra.

John,
This all sounds very familiar & is why I went with Rob's viewer plug-in.
http://www.pluggers.nl/product/pdf-viewer/
This plug-in isn't crazy expensive like some of the PDF generating tools.
(I think Rob faces high licensing costs of his own on those.)

Try updating Adobe

Restarte the Mac.
I must not be doing it right as Safari continues to display using the Preview
viewer and Firefox displays in Adobe Reader. I have 2 plugins...
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFFViewerNPAPI.plugin
This R4.

Not running 64-bit so I don’t believe Blink is involved, but tried your
suggestion. Still does not work. It loads a blank html or any html for that
matter, but not a pdf.

That’s disappointing
Which version of 4D?
Is integrated web kit ticked?
I had a similar issue but don’t remember what fixed it.

I just checked and on my mac I did not have the adobe plug-in in the User’s
library folder but it was in the System Library folder. I removed it from the
system library folder and the 4D Web Area still does not display a pdf. Also
tried putting it in the Users library to no avail.

while Acrobat Reader was relevant on macOS, it planted itself as the default
PDF-viewer inside a WebBrowser. That didn't work well with 4D webarea. As far
as I remember at a place like this
/Users/~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/acrobatreader.plugin
Removing the plugin allowed 4D to display PDFs in p

Down the road I am going to have to display other file types. Not sure
yet how I am going to do that, but am hoping that I can do it in the a 4D Web

John,
I use Rob Laveaux's pdf viewer plugin rather than the web area.

FYI: There is a memory leak in the old web area with pdf display but not in
the new Blink based one, I'm not certain if that applies in your specific
case.

one thing you could do is to create a form with a web area,
a text input with the web area's url variable as its data source,
run it,
drag and drop a file to the web area,
and check what is displayed in the url variable.

Thanks Keisuke,
There is nothing in the path names that require encoding ie.. WA OPEN
URL(waDocument;"file://"+$posixPath) and WA OPEN
URL(waDocument;"file://"+$posixPath;*) return the same thing. For example with
the *…
$opsixPath =
"/Users/johnbdh2/Desktop/004_4_C_1987PB2-PG2MedOffc
keep in mind that a POSIX path is not the same as URL.
having said that,
WAOPEN URL (despite its name) accepts either a URL or a path.
for reference:
system file path:
Windows: C:\MyFolder\My File.html
macOS: Macintosh HD:MyFolder:My File.html
URL:
Windows: file:///C:/MyFolder/My%20File.html

I have a Web Area on a form that works fine when run on a windows machine but
not on a mac. I am using the following code on load of the form…
If (Test path name([Document]File_Path)=Is a document)
