@manuelgit I tried this issue in my local instance, this is not reproducible. So can you check this again

@satish.dvnk this accurs in documents when you click in file preview or in details, view file

doesn´t work in chrome or firefox

@manuelgit Can you share me the file where you are trying to view in CRM

@satish.dvnk sure. doesn´t really makes difference, but here you have a sample:

Document Pdf for demo preview

pdf.pdf

@satish.dvnk This is cause by the htaccess that is blocking direct URL access to files. That make sense, the problem is that is also blocking the pdf viewer from loading the file.

Probably we should add a parameter to the request to by-pass the htaccess file restrictions

So how can we fixed it?

mentioned in issue #636 (closed)

This is how I solved it. Pleas let me know is this is a security issue.

Make this changes in the .htaccess file in /vtigercrm/storage/ Change: <FilesMatch ".(gif|jpe?g|png)

There was an error rendering this math block. KaTeX parse error: Expected &amp;#39;EOF&amp;#39;, got &amp;#39;&amp;amp;&amp;#39; at position 2: &amp;quot;&amp;amp;̲gt; To: &amp;amp;lt;Fil…

wrong way to fix it, as it reduces security, the .htaccess is their for a reason.. the correct fix is

The preview is also broken if you have your storage directory secured, the fix is in file: /public_html/layouts/v7/modules/Documents/FilePreview.tpl

change line 54 which was:

                       {else if $PDF_FILE_TYPE eq 'yes'}
                            <iframe id='viewer' src="libraries/jquery/pdfjs/web/viewer.html?file={$SITE_URL}/{$FILE_PATH}" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe>

to

 {else if $PDF_FILE_TYPE eq 'yes'}
  <iframe id='viewer' src="libraries/jquery/pdfjs/web/viewer.html?file={$SITE_URL}/{$DOWNLOAD_URL|escape:'url'}" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe>

@wayne.maw correct. Reopen as seems not a good fix the .htaccess way.

#1028 (closed) is more recent and presents a fix.
