1231046 - The PDF viewer only shows blank pages

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::PDF Viewer, defect)

Description

[Sxean Lee-David [:sxean]]

When click on link to open a .pdf the Mozilla browser downloads 
the file, however upon completion there is no prompt to open with 
an available .pdf reader, or a prompt that informs user that a "reader" 
is required to open the .pdf file. 

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Aries to 20151207143802
2) Go to a link for a .pdf file such as: http://www.tinaja.com/glib/pdflink.pdf
3) Proceed to click on link to open .pdf. 

Actual:
When click on link the file proceeds to open in browser but never open. There is no further
dialogue, just a blank webpage. 

Expected:
When file is completed opening or downloaded, a message prompt informing the user that
a reader is required to open file or a message prompt giving the user a choice of which 
reader to open the .pdf file with. OR, the .pdf opens within the browser unerringly. 

Notes: Bad User experience. Even with downloaded .pdf readers there is no current way 
to associate the .pdf readers with a .pdf document in order to open it from a link 
or upon download.

Nominating to block since this prevents use of any pdf file on Aries.  Let's get a window here.

Jonas this issue seems to have been caused by the changes to either Bug 1216687 or Bug 1226909.  Can you please take a look?

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

Is this reproducible in Mulet? Or is there any other way I can try to debug this without having to set up a full B2G build stack?

Comment 7

[Jayme Mercado [:JMercado] (Inactive 3/4/2016)]

I'm not familiar with Mulet but I know No-Jun is so he may be able to assist here.

Comment 8

[No-Jun Park [:njpark]]

I built the Mulet with the latest gaia/gecko, and the PDF opens properly within the browser on all available resolution.  I think this might be Aries specific issue, since this is not reproducible on Flame either.

Comment 9

[Martin Shuman [:Marty]]

I was able to reproduce this with the latest Flame Nightly 2.6 build, as well as the latest Aries Dogfood build.

I downloaded a 1040 form from wwww.irs.gov, and the pdf viewer displays the file as a blank page.

Not sure if you guys are going to work on this further... at the same time, PDF looks broken based on the report.

I don't really understand what was asked above. The regression is not caused by the PDF.js update, right? 

We can look into bad rendering of the PDFs when the integration between Gaia and PDF.js will be restored. BTW, the updating of the PDF.js for Gaia is blocked by bug 1171998, so current version is outdated and might not work for some PDFs.

Comment 14

[Mihai Barbat]

This used to work until the 6-th of December 2015. The next day it got broken. Ever since we cannot see any PDF files on Firefox OS.

Comment 15

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

Oh!  Not 100 % sure if there might be any breaks or not in today's build due to gecko.  If it is gaia, then yes.  It could be fixed.  So all we have to do is get a new version checked into the main repo?

With the way that spark is setup, it should be possible for at least the aries device.  It just needs to be in the spark distro.  At the same time, not sure what's going to happen with b2g.

Comment 16

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

There's a regression range here. So this is almost surely due to bug 1226909.

FYI, with bug 1247266 Pdf.JS works again on my Z3c KK build.
