Mika, you didn't say what the problem was exactly, so it's hard to comment.
One problem I know of is that large PDF files may not display in Acrobat Reader when used as a "plugin" to a browser. In this case, you get a message from Acrobat saying that the file is damaged and couldn't be opened. However, if you download the PDF and then open it in Acrobat Reader then it works OK. If this is your problem, then you should be aware that these problems are caused by bugs in the interface between Acrobat Reader and the browsers in which it is embedded, and are not bugs in DSpace. My guess would be that the bug is actually in Acrobat Reader, in fact, since I have seen the same problem in quite different browsers. Although it's not really a bug in DSpace, there is a patch available to work around the problem, by getting DSpace to send a hint to the browser that the file should be downloaded (rather than displayed in a browser plugin). So if this is your problem, you might like to look at this patch: http://tinyurl.com/2pr3u7 This is part of DSpace since 2007-07-20 (SVN revision 2073) On Thu, 2007-09-20 at 12:57 +0300, Mika Stenberg wrote: > Hi, > > We are experiencing increasing difficulties in opening pdf- files via > Dspace / Manakin.
