Re: PDF in Web Area not displaying on a Mac

David, I hear you. I am being a bit stubborn just because it should be working, it isn’t, and I want it to. This is being deployed on windows and it is working just fine there. So no need to buy anything, but it’s annoying that it does not work on the Mac. I think I am going to call TS and

I just checked and on my mac I did not have the adobe plug-in in the User’s library folder but it was in the System Library folder. I removed it from the system library folder and the 4D Web Area still does not display a pdf. Also tried putting it in the Users library to no avail. > On Oct

Oops did not finish a sentence… The process to enable AdobePDFViewer in Higfh Sierra appears to have changed a bit. Maybe it changed earlier, but I did not notice. > On Oct 18, 2017, at 11:13 PM, John Baughman via 4D_Tech > <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > > I think th

64-bit Client Server on Windows question

Hope this is not a dumb question… I am just dabbling with 64-bit 4D without any understanding about what needs to be done to deploy a database with 64-bit 4d. I do most of my development on a mac and deploy as required to mac and windows. I have a rather simple database born 32-bit on a mac

Re: PDF in Web Area not displaying on a Mac

Ortwin. I tried with both in, both out, one or the other in and out and the Web Area still refuses to display the PDF. The area remains blank. To all who have tried to help in this regard… I will have to put this aside for now. Probably make a call to Tech Support just to see if perhaps it
