[Dspace-tech] Pdf problems
Hi, We are experiencing increasing difficulties in opening pdf- files via Dspace / Manakin. This is beginning to look like a serious problem which affects the overall usability of the software. The problem exists both in Manakin UI and Dspace UI. If someone has any suggestions how to make pdf files open in browser, please let me know.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems
The way pdf is opened depends on adobe-reader and the browser, not on the server. The setting can be adjusted per browser I believe. Reinstall the reader if in doubt.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems
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.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems
Dear Rune Pettersen, We have that problem with some pdf files and in some computers. Sometimes the file opens in IE explorer but not in firefox or mozilla in the same computer! One way to solve this is to set the browser preferences to open the file with the acrobat reader and not the plugin. Then the files open without any problem. But this has to be done individually by the user at his end. I don't know if this is the right solution.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf problems
We have introduced a setting in the dspace.cfg that will be available
in dspace 1.5 and also 1.4.x branch (so it might be available if we
do decide to do a 1.4.3 release). It is only in the JSPUI at the
moment and allows for the control of the disposition header on
Bitstreams being downloaded, it will inform the browser to switch to
treating the bitstream as a download to the file system vs. opening
it in the plugin or application.
the parameter in dspace.cfg would be:
webui.content_disposition_threshold=size-in-bytes
I you have experience with working in the source
/**
* Threshold on Bitstream size before content-disposition will
be set.
*/
private int threshold = ConfigurationManager
.getIntProperty
(webui.content_disposition_threshold);
... in method ...
protected void doDSGet(Context context, HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException,
SQLException, AuthorizeException
...
// Response length
response.setHeader(Content-Length, String
.valueOf(bitstream.getSize()));
if(threshold != -1 bitstream.getSize() = threshold)
{
setBitstreamDisposition(bitstream.getName(), request,
response);
}
later in the class...
...
/**
* Evaluate filename and client and encode appropriate disposition
*
* @param uri
* @param request
* @param response
* @throws UnsupportedEncodingException
*/
private void setBitstreamDisposition(String filename,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
{
String name = filename;
Matcher m = p.matcher(name);
if (m.find() !m.group().equals())
{
name = m.group();
}
try
{
String agent = request.getHeader(USER-AGENT);
if (null != agent -1 != agent.indexOf(MSIE))
{
name = URLEncoder.encode(name, UTF8);
}
else if (null != agent -1 != agent.indexOf(Mozilla))
{
name = MimeUtility.encodeText(name, UTF8, B);
}
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
{
log.error(e.getMessage(),e);
}
finally
{
response.setHeader(Content-Disposition,
attachment;filename= + name);
}
}
