PDF viewer doesn't work - no error message.....

[5953lc]

What is the minimum PDF file version that should be used with the PDF.js extension? v1.2 or v1.4 ?

What is the best PDF file version that should be used ? Obviously I want to use the one with the least feature/bloat and most security I find acceptable... but the damned thing has to load my PDF's...

There's an error loading my PDF's, but no error code to work off of. Is there a PDF.js tester I can upload my PDF's too ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there @5953lc. Are you able to attach or link to a failing PDF?

[5953lc]

Ok. So what version of PDF does pdf.js support 100% ? v1.3 v1.4 v1.5

Are there any ways to speed up PDF viewing, like changing the resolution, color bits, page size ? It takes 8 seconds to render the page from a local network !!!

I am attaching a copy of a PDF that I can open up just fine with Mozilla Firefox 22.0 / Mozilla Labs PDF.js Viewer 0.8.1 without any issue what so ever.

But the same file I can't open up with Opera 15.0.1147.100 / Opera PDF.js 0.8.169 without it working. Attached is a screen shot of the failure to load - there is no error number at all ...

Thanks for answers to the above questions

Works for me, using the PDF.js Opera extension v0.8.169 from the Opera Add-on gallery and Opera 15.0.1147.100.
I've simulated a throttled + bandwidth-limited network, and although the PDF loads slower, it does show up. In either case, this is the rendered output:

So what would cause it not to render on my machine(s). I've got 2 windows 8 pro machines where I can load Mozilla/PDF.js and that combo will work. But when I load Opera 15 with PDF 8.169 or Opera NEXT with PDF 8.169 I get an error message ?

How do I even figure out where the issue is ?

@5953lc I tested and the viewer appears to work as intended for the file you've provided, on Windows 8. I don't know the answer to the question about "100% supported features", because I'm mainly working on the Chrome extension, not the PDF parser/renderer.

The PDF files referenced at test/pdfs/ range from version 1.0 to 1.6. To get an idea of what's being tested, I ran file *test/pdfs/.pdf |grep -oP 'version [0-9.]+' |sort -n |uniq -c, which yielded the following output (column 1 = number of pdf files, column 2 = PDF version):

  2 version 1.0
  3 version 1.1
  9 version 1.2
 28 version 1.3
 60 version 1.4
 18 version 1.5
 30 version 1.6
 13 version 1.7

Back to your issue

• Are you behind a proxy which mangles requests?
• If you change servers (e.g. a simple file server on localhost), does the error persist?
• If you start Opera with a new profile, does the error persist?
• Does the error also show up in the Chrome extension?

No proxy. problem still exists in if I change computers (same server) - even if it's a brand new windows 8 pro and I load opera for the 1st time with the pdf.js extension. if I use mozilla & it's pdf.js extension it works fine.

the ERROR shows up in chrome with PDF.js versions 3.0.3 !!!!

Here's some more information:

Opera Next 15.0.1147.100

Here is what the browser is sending to the web server:

Does this shed light on the issue ?
