Re: loading pdf files

 

I was using edge. I tried using chrome just to see if that would make a difference and was able to get a pdf file loaded. I don't know why edge was choking on loading a pdf file. it didn't seam to matter what was in the file. I tried just making one with a simple sentence like this is a test to see if this file will load as the only part of the pdf and still could not get it to load in edge. had no problems whatsoever when I loaded that file and? another one in chrome on the same computer.

Pam,

as soon as the file is loaded it says it can't be read.
it does show up and that is what comes up.

?It would be interesting to know just what said the file can't be read. There are multiple possibilities (the site, your browser, a PDF plug-in for your browser, your operating system...)? It may be that a screen shot would be worth more than a thousand words here.

It is possible that somehow your files aren't being marked as PDF content when uploaded to Groups.io. In the Files list, what is the icon to the left of the file name? It should be a page with PDF inside. If it has a ? inside that's a big clue to the problem. Then it becomes a question of why Groups.io did not think the file was actually PDF.

Also, does the file name end with ".pdf"? If not you might try renaming the file before upload so that it does.

I can read the pdf that was uploaded to the files section here.?

?That's interesting. And disproves most ideas about issues with your browser configuration. Do you mean that clicking on the file name in GMF's Files section causes your browser to open the file directly in your browsing tab or window? or does your browser prompt you to choose an app to open the file or save it?

For me, also on Windows 10, both Firefox and Edge open the pdf in the browser.

I'm not sure what you mean about a pdf configured for the browser. I have adobe dc on my system.

?Current browsers usually include PDF display in browser. But they can be configured to run a browser extension, or to request that you open the file with an app or save it instead.? The in-browser display of PDF files in Edge and current versions of Firefox do not use Reader DC or other application software to show you the PDF file.
