No problem - I thought that was an error message from the demo until someone 
else reported it... :)

Re: Web Area display PDF

I wasn’t able to get it working in Windows. It seems really close though.  But 
the IE rendering engine is so ancient.  

It ought to work fine on 4D Windows 64-bit with a Blink web area, but haven’t 
tried it yet.

I've only gotten this to work on Mac so far, even though the requirements for

If you do not mind, I will certainly use this in conjuncture with QPDF Plugins

A neat component I must say and it will add a nice touch to the application.

Re: Web Area display PDF

[Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech]

Hi Miyako,

About 3 months ago there was a discussion about viewing PDFs in a webarea on 
High Sierra
Then it was the believe that when using this in 4D 64-bit the problem was solved

However, now we are testing 64-bit for the first time, and when viewing a PDF 
in a webarea on High Sierra it crashes after viewing only two PDFs

Do you, or someone else, what is the problem with this? A solution would be 
appreciated.

Gr,

Piotr



there was a word on the release note.

evidently it was caused by the 32-bit version of PDFKit (Apple framework, part 
of the OS)

RE: Web Area display PDF

[Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech]

Hi Jeffrey,

We also have problems viewing PDF in a webarea with 4D 32-bit on High Sierra
Do you know if this is a 32-bit problem?
So going to 64-bit would solve the problem?

We are using 4d write and want to migrate it to 4D write pro
Now would be the time to do this if the PDF problem doesn't exist with 64-bit.

Thanks,

Piotr

Hello,

on WebArea with 32-Bit Mac you can use the Schubert-IT plugin: 
pdf-plugin-244.dmg

Hi John,

If you keep the pdf way, also check out the excellent PDFViewer plugin from 
pluggers.nl . I have been using this on Mac for a long 
time already. No Windows experience.

Which OS are you using? PDF display is broken in 4D 32-bit on High Sierra.

We got pdf.js to work in 4D on Mac but I haven’t gotten around to

Re: Web Area display PDF

[John Baughman via 4D_Tech]

I have removed the adobe plugin from both libraries. It still does not work.

Maybe I need to move away from the Web Area. What I have is a complex form with 
6 header sections. To create the document for display in the web area, I am 
building the report with these headers using Print form in multi level For 
loops and printing it to a pdf document on disk.

The only reason I need the document is to display it in the 4D web ares. This 
was working when I first created it over a year ago. The report itself is 
rarely used. After moving to v15, or perhaps earlier it stopped working and 
no-one told me about it. Now it has become an issue

 Is there another way to do this? In other words is there a way to build the 
report for display direct;y in 4D?

Myako, thanks for the link. GitHub frankly makes my eyes water. I don’t have 
any idea where to start with pdf.js to resolve my problem. Would your often 
touted pdf plug-in do anything that might help me resolve this problem?

John

Hi John,

If I remember correctly there used to be an issue with the Acrobat plugin and

its worth to give it a try. Remove the AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Interinet
