I have two machines: machine 'A' has windows 2000 with ie6, machine 'B' has windows 2000 with ie6. I am calling a .pdf from html. The html transmission sends to an oracle application. The application has a pdf template and runs a sql against the db to populate the template with the dynamic data. In a perfect environment the pdf will return to the client machine and be viewed in the browser.
On 'A' ,from the browser, the report displays fine and in the 'Temporary Internet Files' directory I have one .pdf that I view by opening it in Acrobat and it is the same.
On 'B' ,from the browser, I get the static information from the .pdf but none of the info that is dynamically populated from the database. in the 'Temporary Internet Files' directory I have 2 .pdf's; when I view the first file (opening from Acrobat) it is the same as what I see from the browser (only static info), the second is the fully loaded .pdf that I would expect to see with all the data.
Initially I was speaking with Microsoft and we thought that the transmission might timeout before it would display in browser - that might explain why I get the static info from the report and none of the dynamic. Now I can only assume that would be true if it cuts the transmission, display the partial .pdf and when the transmission completes it still drops another file to the 'temporary internet files'
directory.
Couple quick things to note:
First: tell me what you think about this situation. I went into Acrobat Preferences and disabled the check box -- 'Check Browser Settings Within Acrobat', then ran the program to generate a pdf. It did not open the file in Acrobat but left an image icon in the upper left had side of the screen... no matter; that is not the issue. But... what it did do is generate the correct pdf file (and just one file) in the 'Temporary Internet File' directory.
Second: this issue was not effecting my machine - mine was a working fine. I have not changed anything but yesterday I started having the same problem and now I am in the same boat as the rest of the non-working machines. Others have experience the same pattern: the process works fine and then one day, it no longer works. I read an article from the Acrobat forum, on Adobe's website, that explained how acr*.tmp files can fill-up a directory and not allow any more pdf's to dropped on the machine - they should be deleted. This was not the issue in my case but it sounds like something similar could cause the issue... I do not now, just thought that this info could help.
