WebViewer v1.7.1 (Mar 24, 2014)

Main changes are:

• Fixes an issue in WebViewer 1.7.0 for the upcoming Chrome 34 as Chrome has decided to drop support for some functions that were used in WebViewer. See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=347506 for more info.

Hello Matt,

I'm still having xod rendering issues with chrome 34 and webviewer 1.7.1 . The xod get rendered with the HTML5 webviewer with all browsers, except chrome 34.
With Chrome 33 all is working fine.
We have also did some test with Chrome Canary (v36) and seems they fixed it. There's any temporary workaround to avoid this?

Hi Alberto,

Are you able to view http://www.pdftron.com/webviewer/showcase/? I'm using Chrome 34 and was able to view this demo just fine and it's running WebViewer 1.7.1. Maybe the issue is with a customization you've made?

Hello Matt,

no custom js, cache cleared.

i've tried to dig in the code and the problem is in the line 358 of WebViewer.js:

when i call this.contentWindow.CoreControls, it returns undefined, that doesn't happen in other browsers, also in chrome 33 works fine.

Chrome 33 & Firefox ( breakpoint on the line):

 

this.contentWindow.CoreControls

function (){} core-compressed.js:1

this.contentWindow.CoreControls.DisplayModes

Object {zl: "Single", Ch: "Continuous", Wk: "Facing", Xk: "FacingContinuous", Vi: "Cover"…}

Chrome 34:

this.contentWindow.CoreControls

undefined

this.contentWindow.CoreControls.DisplayModes

TypeError: Cannot read property 'DisplayModes' of undefined

Seems Chrome 34 iframe DOM doesnt work in the same way of other browsers.

Hello Matt.. i have doublechecked again your example and i've noticed i have mantained linked a compressed ( by myself ) part of the library with the old code.

Sorry for the time waste and thanks again.
