Description
Handling of PDFs, especially with Browsers with an installed Adobe Reader Plugin, is inconsistent.
Sometimes embedding works, sometimes not. Download links (without plugin) become links to embedded PDF (with plugin). ...
Steps to reproduce
Look at this with different browsers, with/without adobe reader plugin:
Link to a pdf attachment (default)
Firefox 3.0.13 / Linux / no plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: Text "Embedded application/pdf" (that is expected behaviour) |
Firefox 3.5.2 / Windows7 / disabled AR9.1 plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, Text "Embedded application/pdf" (that is expected behaviour) |
IE8 / Windows7 and WinXP / disabled AR9.1 plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: "Embedded application/pdf" (that is expected behaviour) |
Opera 10.00 / WinXP / disabled AR9.1.3 plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: text "Embedded application/pdf" |
Firefox 3.5.2 / Windows7 / AR9.1 plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: embedded pdf (that is expected behaviour) |
IE8 / Windows7 and WinXP / AR9.1 plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: embedded pdf (that is expected behaviour) |
opera 9.6.2 /Linux / plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: a big white nothing (unexpected) |
opera 9.6.2 / Windows7 / plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: embedded pdf (that is expected behaviour) |
Opera 10.00 / WinXP / AR9.1.3 plugin |
shows (after following link): Download link, below that: embedded pdf |
Safari 4.0.3 / OSX 10.6 / system default pdf plugin |
shows (after following link): an embedded pdf, as expected |
Link to a pdf attachment (&do=get)
Firefox 3.0.13 / Linux / no plugin |
shows (after following link): Browser download/open dialogue (that is expected behaviour) |
Firefox 3.5.2 / Windows7 / disabled AR plugin |
shows (after following link): Browser download/open dialogue (that is expected behaviour) |
IE8 / Windows7 and WinXP / disabled AR9.1 plugin |
same as IE8 with enabled AR9.1 plugin - WTF!? |
Opera 10.00 / WinXP / disabled AR9.1.3 plugin |
shows (after following link): white, empty page. No download dialog. |
Firefox 3.5.2 / Windows7 / AR9.1 plugin |
shows (after following link): Browser-embedded, full-size Adobe Reader showing the pdf (nice, but unexpected? One needs right-click->"save target as" to download) |
IE8 / Windows7 and WinXP / AR9.1 plugin |
shows (after following link): Browser-embedded, full-size Adobe Reader showing the pdf (nice, but unexpected? One needs right-click->"save target as" to download) |
opera 9.6.2 /Linux / plugin |
shows a white page |
opera 9.6.2 / Windows7 / plugin |
shows (after following link): Browser-embedded, full-size Adobe Reader showing the pdf (nice, but unexpected? One needs right-click->"save target as" to download) |
Opera 10.00 / WinXP / AR9.1.3 plugin |
shows (after following link): Browser-embedded, full-size AR plugin showing the pdf |
Safari 4.0.3 / OSX 10.6 / system default pdf plugin |
shows (after following link): pdf (covering entire window), as expected, (provides option to download pdf) |
Transclusion of a pdf attachment
there should be something embedded in between this line ...
... and this line!
Note: width and height needs to be given. Code is very generic and doesn't have any defaults for w and h.
Firefox 3.0.13 / Linux / no plugin |
shows: "test.pdf (default)" (that is expected behaviour) |
Firefox 3.5.2 / Windows7 / disabled AR9.1 plugin |
shows: "test.pdf (default)" (that is expected behaviour) |
IE8 / Windows7 and WinXP / disabled AR9.1 plugin |
shows: "test.pdf (default)" (that is expected behaviour) |
Opera 10.00 / WinXP / disabled AR9.1.3 plugin |
shows: "test.pdf (default)" |
Firefox 3.5.2 / Windows7 / AR9.1 plugin |
shows embedded pdf full width, 600px height (that is expected behaviour) |
IE8 / Windows7 and WinXP / AR9.1 plugin |
shows embedded pdf full width, 600px height (that is expected behaviour) |
opera 9.6.2 /Linux / plugin |
?? |
opera 9.6.2 / Windows7 / plugin |
shows embedded pdf full width, 600px height |
Opera 10.00 / WinXP / AR9.1.3 plugin |
shows embedded pdf full width, 600px height |
Safari 4.0.3 / OSX 10.6 / system default pdf plugin |
shows embedded pdf full width, 600px height |
Component selection
inconsistent markup used on AttachFile show page and when embedding pdf in wiki pages
- broken AR9.1 ActiveX plugin behaviour (disabling doesn't work)

Discussion
- if someone could try with other browsers with Adobe Reader Plugin, that would be great
- above, it looks a bit like opera 9.6.2 + plugin is broken (because it doesn't work at all) and they fixed it with opera 10
- if that is not the reason why it does not work on opera 9.6.2, i need more infos, like e.g. working html for opera.
Plan
- Priority:
- Assigned to:
- Status:
html output fixed by: http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.8/rev/aa10c2a001f5
- the reported broken behaviour of opera 9.6.2 / linux / pdf plugin seems to be an isolated problem on either that installation, or with that specific opera/linux version or with that specific adobe/linux plugin, same version on windows shows correct behaviour
