Modify existing PDF Add-on

Just to be sure I understand, we will download it and open it in the application?

The following example gives error: Unable to open the requested file!
Suggestion, when 'http://' is specified the 'PDF Viewer' field could change to the 'Web browser application' field.

Ok,
I see

Any updates? I have PDF Add-on version 1.3.0.0 installed.

Hi,
It's implemented in the version 1.3. Do you received an error?

Error Message: Unable to retrieve <filename>.pdf

I have PDF Add-on version 1.3.0.0 installed. While the screenshot example above works, it doesn't for the following:
http://sharepoint/sites/network/Shared%20Documents/IP_Addresses_1.0.pdf
Its probably related to the space (%20)

Have you tried with a pdf somewhere else?

Yes, the 'http://remotedesktopmanager.com/download/RDM6.0.pdf' example above works.

I will andré to do some test with %20

Hi,

I have just tried to view a pdf file in a folder with "%20" and it works.
I will let you do the same test.
http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Space%20folder/RDM6.0.pdf
I will delete this folder after you will have finish with it.

Is it possible that it is a security/login issue with Sharepoint. Do you need to have an open session ?

Regards

The SharePoint uses my existing Windows Security Credentials.

Successful for:
http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Space%20folder/RDM6.0.pdf

Unsuccessful for:
http://sharepoint/sites/network/Shared%20Documents/Standards/RDM6.0.pdf

Unsuccessful for:

All of the above examples are successful in a Web Browser.

Hi,
The add-on is not a web browser. We download the file and open it. This explain the problem with file://. For Sharepoint, I''m not sure that we are able to download a file if we are not logged. Just to be sure I understand, Sharepoint use your domain credentials? I will talk to André and he might be able to supply them.

Correct.

Hi,

Could you test this new DLL please ?
I added the possibility to use your default credentials.
You just have to edit your session to activate this option.

Tried to add new session using 'http://sharepoint/sites/network/Shared%20Documents/Standards/RDM6.0.pdf' and got the following error:

Hi,
This error usually happen when you have the dll installed twice. Once in the application folder and once in the %LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager

Thank you, removing the duplicate DLL resolved the error. I can now read the PDF file from the Sharepoint, but I must check the option 'Use default credentials'.

The PDFAddOn.dll file has not been updated on the Add-ons webpage, its still 1.3.0.0.

Are the other files even necessary?
AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll
AxInterop.PDFXCviewAxLib.dll
Interop.AcroPDFLib.dll
Interop.PDFXCviewAxLib.dll

Cheers,
thfs

Hi,
Have you tried the latest beta? This add-on is now included and it will be removed from the web site. So all those dll will no longer be needed.

My installed PDFAddOn.dll file is version 1.4.0.0 and works perfectly.

Cheers,
thfs

Hi,
I mean the latest beta version of Remote Desktop Manager (6.9.5.0)
