DocumentViewer not showing pdfs in Chrome

[petter.nilsson]

Hello

I've experienced some problems showing pdfs in the document view since a couple of weeks and since the last update of Chrome (before 92.0.4515.159).

It seams that there is something that is not correct in the pdfs becuase it only occures for certain files.

I have also tested this on the https://www.primefaces.org/showcase-ext ... /basic.jsf and also there, it shows up completely white.

I've found that by inactivating the css-property "color: transparent;" on the class .textLayer > div, at least the text on the document is shown.

I would like to upload som pictures but do not have access to a public server (If this can help, please let me know).

Kind regards
Petter Nilsson

hmmm I am using Chrome 92 and that Showcase PDF viewer is working fine for me?

[petter.nilsson]

Ok, is there any way to debug the viewer with a document that is not working for us?

Is there any errors on the Chrome F12 console?

Hello,

The only output I have in the console is the following:

I wonder if your issue is this: https://github.com/primefaces-extension ... -905268857

I just published a 10.0.5-SNAPSHOT build with the latest PDF.JS if you want to try that and see if it fixes your issue!

You just need to add this to your pom.xml to be able to get the SNAPSHOT.

Code: Select all

<repository>
    <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
    <name>Sonatype Snapshot Repository</name>
    <url>https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>

    </snapshots>

if PDF files are not opening in chrome try this method I hope it will help to open your file in chrome. Check if 'Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome' is turned on in Chrome. When this is enabled, all PDF will be downloaded instead of view. Near the bottom, click on PDF documents. Turn off Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome.

Hello @Melloware

Yes, that was the error and runs perfect with the patch.

Thank you so much!
