Hey all, 

Cool tool.  But can't get it to run with my own PDF.  Works fine with demo PDF from tool.. so know I have the ClientID and credentials setup.


Works: http://c19rh.org/assets/1/yes.html

Error: http://c19rh.org/assets/1/no.html

Source File reference in no.html: https://c19rh.org/smx.pdf


What am I missing?  Thanks!

 

 

<!-- Works fine with demo PDF from adobe.com -->

<div id="adobe-dc-view" style="height: 760px; width: 800px;"></div>
<script src="https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk/main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){ 
		var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "d6b9af64d40d44bcafe797e71085ecc6", divId: "adobe-dc-view"});
		adobeDCView.previewFile({
			content:{location: {url: "https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk-demo/PDFs/Summary.pdf"}},
			metaData:{fileName: "Summary.pdf"}
		}, {embedMode: "SIZED_CONTAINER"});
	});
</script>

<!--  Swapped out location URL and file name - get "file preview error". 

<div id="adobe-dc-view" style="height: 760px; width: 800px;"></div>
<script src="https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk/main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){

	});

Ahh, figured it out.

 

If the PDF link is https://  in the code, then you have to load the page as https://

 

And if the pdf link is NOT secure, then the page has to load not secure...

Hi there,

After trying all possible hits and trials, I found a solution that worked for me.

Below is the code I was trying and was getting the same File Preview Error. As you can see, the url starts with http and ends with the file name.

I just removed the http://syncit.in and gave the rest of the path for the file name like below, and it worked for me:

Hope this helps solve the issue.

 

Regards

Adnan
