Hey,

i am having a problem with displaying PDF files, when i am trying to 
display the PDF file, i get the "file is damaged and could not be 
repaired" message.

This is the code i use in my main-page.
For each file, there is image with a form attached.

<form method="post" action="bekijk.asp">
	<td align="center" width="80">
	   <input type=image src="images/bekijk.jpg">
	   <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<%= rsnaam("instrID")%>">
	</td>
</form>

The information is sent to "bekijk.asp" wich has to write the name, date 
and filename to a database. And then redirects to the PDF file.
Before this, i could just write <a href="../<%= rsnaam("instrID")%
>">Link</a> to the page.
But here they asked me if it was possible to track wich person looks at 
wich file. Therefor i tried this.

The u-drive is a virtual-drive that i maked on my server.
It links to the files on an other server.
And the PDF files, work great when i just open then.
Only not when trying to use this application.

This is my bekijk.asp file.

id = request.form("id")
dim sql
sql = "SELECT insFileNaam FROM instructies WHERE instrID LIKE '"&ID&"';"
dim rs
set rs = server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
rs.open sql, cnn1, 1,3

file = "../../u-drive/doc/" + rs("insFilenaam")

dim sq2
sq2 = "SELECT * FROM geraadpleegd"
dim rs2
set rs2 = server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
rs2.open sq2, cnn1, 1,3
rs2.addnew
rs2("instrID") = request.form("id")
rs2("gebruiker") = session("user")
rs2("datum") = now()
rs2.update

response.redirect file


thnx

What browser are you checking this in? Or does this happen regardless of the
browser/ platform?

I had a similar problem a while ago but it was a strange intermitent problem
with MAC OS and uncompressed PDFs. In that case the file would read as
damaged when opened automatically (through a broswer) but would be fine if
opened from within Acrobat. I upgraded latest versions of the plug-ins etc.

It seemed to work. Have your PDF's ever been compressed as Stuffit archives?
- I only ask because that's what had happened in my case.

Hey,

the problem i have is under Internet Explorer.
The PDF's are not compressed or something like that.
I think it isnt a problem with the files, 
but that there is a problem with the "Response.Redirect File",
does anyone knows a solution?
I have a meeting this afternoon and it should work by then :-)
Or does anyone knows an other solution to open a PDF and keep track of 
those who are viewung the files?

thnx

an other strange thing is, then when i press the "look" button,
i get the "file is damaged and could not be rapaired" message.
But when i press F5 (refresh) then. The PDF does load.
Strange if you ask me.
