Hi,

I was wondering if anybody else seen this problem and maybe has a solution. I use Elog version 2.7.5 rev. 2172 that I compiled from the tar.gz package on a Ubuntu PC. It is very strange that everything works fine except I can not view / download PDF attachments specifically. I can view / download images and I can download all sorts of file formats: xls, doc, ppt, etc. Viewing in the same window / tab or in a different one does not work. Saving the attachment produces a file empty file with the correct name! This is so strange, for example following a link from an image or any other attachment type works but if that link is a PDF file I get an empty page! When uploading a PDF file there a thumbnails that are generated, I do view the thumbnail but not the PDF itself! I didn't even managed to start a download on PDF attachment.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

This sounds to me like you have a problem on your browser. I know that Acrobat Reader sometimes causes problems. The current version always crashes my broswer, so I cannot display PDFs inline, I rather have to same them, and the open them for display. Maybe you have a simlar problem. Since you see the PDF thumbnails, I believe that the PDF operations indise ELOG are ok. Can you view PDFs from other websites? Have you tried another browser? Maybe on another computer?
