Hello list, On Windows 7 Pro 64-bit clients with 1.7.4 or 1.7.5 (unknown about the behavior on earlier versions), we have started noticing that Acrobat Reader X 10.1.2 is unable to save PDFs to AFS. It simply fails silently. Saving to other network shares does work, and of course other applications can save files to AFS.
The use case is when a website or mail client opens a PDF with Reader and the user wants to do a File -> Save As -> PDF directly to an AFS share. For now the work around is to first download or save to the local desktop and drag-n-drop to AFS. I have a SysInternals Process Monitor capture of the AcroRd32.exe process, and I see things like this when it attempts to operate on a \\AFS\ path: Operation Result IRP_MJ_CREATE NAME NOT FOUND IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL INVALID DEVICE REQUEST Control: FSCTL_LMR_QUERY_DEBUG_INFO IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL NO SUCH FILE Anyone else seen symptoms like this? I can't tell if this is a bug in Acrobat Reader or if it is an AFS bug (the "invalid device request" seem suspicious). I can make the Process Monitor LogFile.pml available if that would help. -- Jonathan.Nilsson at uci dot edu Social Sciences Computing Services SSPB 1265 | 949.824.1536
