Unable to see pdf file in Chrome browser

[dharma_esampalli]

Hi all,

In my web dynpro application, I uploaded and saved a PDF file in a ztable with a field data type RAWSTRING. My PDF file is saved and I'm able to preview it( See on the Same Screen) with help of UI Element 'Interactive Form'  in Internet explorer. But if i run the same application in Google Chrome, i'm UNABLE to preview my PDF and even i'm NOT ABLE to view the UI Element 'Interactive Form'  on my Google Chrome browser. If I open the link, it is directly asking me to Save the PDF file. I think there is some settings to be changed in Google Chrome. Any Solution please..

refer below images.. first image is from IE and second image is of Google Chrome..

Hi Sekhar,

Chrome has built-in PDF viewer, which is not supported with Adobe Forms and ADS.

Disable that option and install Adobe Reader up to version 11. Do not install Adobe Reader 12 (aka DC), it's not supported yet.

Regards,

Diego

Hi Diego,

In Chrome, the PDF preview is not working. If its working for you, may I know about your Chrome Version ? I'm using Chrome Version 44.0.2403.157 m . I have the steps you said. But not working.

Hi Sekhar,

I'm not sure about all the versions but:

(1) Google ended support for plug-in in Chrome

(2) SAP say Chrome not supported for IFbA

(3) Adobe say Chrome not supported for PDF forms - users must upgrade to HTML forms

(4) SAP recommend Arch FLM for HTML e-forms. (See page 9.)

So if you have upgraded Chrome you may have run out of support.

Hope that helps

Chris
