I'm using my SM 2.39b1 on Win7 att, but I think the problem also exists
on my Linux SM as well.
The Australian Government has recently set up a single web site
(my.gov.au) for a taxpayer/citizen/whatever to use to communicate with
all the various Government Departments and for them to be able to e-mail
me letters rather than actually sending them via Australia Post. The
Help screen list about 50-60 FAQ with answers and, of course, I cannot
see my problem there.
A lot of these documents have attachments, supposedly in pdf format, but
I've yet to be able to read a single one of these attachments. I thought
I had Adobe Reader as one of the SM extensions, but I don't and I've
looked through 200 of the 800 Extensions at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/seamonkey/extensions/ but cannot find
the Adobe Acrobat/Reader extension listed.
However, when I'm in my profile on the my.gov.au site and select one of
the gov mail and click on one of the attachments, I get.....
1. A Blank Browser tab with
https://my.gov.au/attachment/viewAttachment?id=K206326391&commid=78533324
in
address bar
2. The Download Manager opens showing it is downloading, e.g.,
"d6zZmvam" (no 3 letter (e.g. *.pdf) subsection), which is file type
data:application/x-moz-playpreview;,application/pdf and the Download
Manager downloads 15bytes of 15bytes, and,
3. Eventually Adobe Reader XI (version 11.0.2) opens (outside SM) and
tells me "Adobe Reader could not open 'd6zZmvam' because it is either
not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for
example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly
decoded)." Note the file name, d6zZmvam, has no subsection.
Is there something I can do (apart from bitching to the Government!!
Somehow!!) so that I will be able to communicate with assorted Gov
departments??
You could try <https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js> scroll down to Browser
Extensions and install the Development Version.
PDF's should open in a SeaMonkey tab, if they have a .pdf extension.
That, I think, is the problem, Walt, .... the file name (e.g.
K206326391) doesn't have any filename extension.
Already had pdf viewer (pdf.js) installed, but I guess I've now got the
latest version, if nothing else!
Yeah!! Your making me install the latest version of PDF viewer must have
done something as I can now view at least some of the PDF docs .... at
least all that I've tried, so thanks!!
Unfortunately, or fortunately for those that hate it, pdf.js isn't built
into SeaMonkey like it is with Firefox.
I recommend bookmarking the github link and checking it periodically for
new versions.
It is a WIP.
