Forum Bugs

PDFs don't get displayed in Google Docs

jprateragg
I didn't know what would be the most appropriate forum for this. Whenever I send PDFs generated with Prince to people with Gmail/Google Apps, the PDFs are not viewable using the Google Docs document viewer. This same error is always displayed:

"Sorry, we are unable to generate a view of the document at this time. Please try again later."

I don't know if this is something with how Prince generates PDFs or if I have a setting wrong. I'm using Prince 8.1r3 on Windows 2008 R2. Thanks!

Can you paste a link to a PDF that causes this error message?

Is it possible to email/pm you a document? I'd rather it not be made public. Thanks!

Sure, email me at [email:2q04pvsm]mikeday@yeslogic.com[/email:2q04pvsm].

Email sent. Thanks!

For the record, the issue was caused by unrelated text from the web application prepended to the front of the PDF file.
