Sometimes problems with PDF preview creation

[nettania]

Hi community,

I have installed and configured Alfresco on an ubuntu server as well as on an Windows server. On both system alfresco ist working fine except the fact that I have sometimes a problem with creating a Thumbnail/PDF view of a txt file, esspecially if I upload a new version.

The system informs me, that a preview could not be created and the catalina.out displays the following exception:

2020-01-22 13:30:17,180  INFO  [web.scripts.MimetypesQuery] [http-nio-8080-exec-4] Successfully retrieved mimetypes information from Alfresco.

This exception occurs no matter which browser I use. The only possibility to solve it, is to delete the file and make a new upload.

I hope someone can give me a hint hwo to solve this problem.

Thanks,

Hi @nettania ,

I have similar problems with ACS 6.1 Community on Ubuntu. I'm using dockerized solution. Actually, I have two kinds of problems:

1. First, the same as you described with PDF preview generating. Have you already have a solution?
2. The second, I often can not get  preview updated after document has been edited online and saved, for example with MS Office. Do you experience similar problems?

Thanks in advance for your reply 

[angelborroy]

Can you provide your configuration related to transformers in alfresco-global.properties?

[nettania]

Hello,

I did not find a solution yet, and I can cofirm you mentioned second problem, that after uploading a new version sometimes the creation of the preview fails, informing me, that the document cannot be displayed. The only solution I found, was to delete the document and create a new one. But this cannot be the only way.

Unfortunatlely alfresco's stacktrace does not really help to solve such transformer issues.

I'd recommend to follow Content Transformation Debug to find out, what Alfresco's transformer(s) are trying to do and which command fails and why.

[kovalev]

Hi @angelborroy 

My transform settings are:

content.transformer.PdfBox.extractBookmarksText	true
content.transformer.retryOn.different.mimetype	true
local.transform.service.enabled 	        true
lucene.maxAtomicTransformationTime	        100
transformer.Archive.includeContents	        false
transformer.strict.mimetype.check	        true

Also, I made such a test:

1. created new file in google docs and named it transform_test.docx
2. checked out from google docs, updated browser page and got file name changed and contents displayed as expected
3. opened this file in microsoft office right from preview page, edited and saved
4. closed ms word
5. updated web page with document preview - no changes
6. whent to document list and updated web page - thumbnail updated showing latest contents
7. opened document preview page - contents not updated

I put below trnsformation debug info on described case. May be this can clear what is going on.

Hi, Andrey!

Did you manage to find any solution or workaround to this issue?

I have faced the same error and it is very easy to reproduce:

1. Create txt file - preview works as expected

2. Modify this txt file - preview works as expected

3. Modify this txt file for the second time - Could not load PDF content in Chrome, preview not updated in IE.

I am using Alfresco 6.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Hi,

I have a similar error (I'm on Centos 7). ACS runs fine except that the PDF preview creation doesn't work for some of my documents (.docx). The problem seem to arise randomly as some docs might work, then after a while some of those same docs will display a 500 error similar to what you have.

Which transformer are you using ? the legacy embedded  transformer or the new T-Engines

If you are using legacy transformers ,please add folloing to alfresco-global.properties

content.transformer.OpenOffice.extensions.docx.pdf.maxSourceSizeKBytes=100000

if you are using the new T-Engine ,please edit the json configure file

 {"sourceMediaType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",   "maxSourceSizeBytes": 786432,                   "targetMediaType": "application/pdf" },
