I seem to be having mixed results when passing documents to iPaper
from a database rather than a file on a filesystem.
It works faultlessly with some document types; PDF's, Word and Excel
2003 etc. but consistently fails with all Office 2007 documents and
even Powerpoint 2003.
A typical example would be the file
http://v4.vestri.co.uk/contentimages/1page.pptx
which imports and is converted perfectly, but exactly the same file,
fetched from a DB and passed via a BinaryWrite:
http://v4.vestri.co.uk/Preview.aspx?ID=dd93172f-3c72-46c4-b182-6609d514f64e
Seems to import ok but the conversion process loops indefinitely and
when I view My Docs I see a whole series of documents with the status
'Conversion Failed'.
Any ideas or suggestions?
