Bug 14644 – Fails to open PDF - WebKitErrorDomain 203

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: New Bugs

[Patricia Warwick]

I get this error - WebKitErrorDomain 203 when I go to this page (this is progress because previously WebKit crashed any time I attempted to open a PDF.)

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Hi Patricia, do you have any PDF plug-ins installed like Adobe [Acrobat] Reader?  They would be listed under "Help" menu, "Installed Plug-ins" (search for "pdf" on the page).

[Patricia Warwick]

Yes ... I have two:

PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3
Adobe Acrobat and Reader Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 7.0.9 — from file “AdobePDFViewer.plugin”.

[Patricia Warwick]

I should add that Safari displays PDFs although I get an error message "Plug-in cancelled" in the Activity window. Could the problem be due to the fact that I have two plug-ins for PDFs?

Possibly.  Try remove one (or both) of them to see if this error goes away.  The default should be that they open within Safari.

I removed the Adobe plugin and left the Schubert plugin and the page is displayed correctly now. (It also removed the Safari error.)
Perhaps the problem is that the plugin was for Acrobat 7.

Add back each plug-in (one-at-a-time), restart Safari and test.  This should tell you which one is causing the issue (or if they both must be installed to reproduce the error).

[Patricia Warwick]

Perhaps I did not make myself clear. I ONLY removed the Adobe plugin. I did not remove the Schubert plugin. Therefore I think that the Adobe plugin caused the problem.

Confirmed with r24399 and Acrobat Viewer 7.0.8 (plugin 7.0.5). I think this is a duplicate of bug 10510 (and also INVALID as such). Please confirm that you are getting the same console output (as visible in /Utilities/Console.app, console.log):

------------------------------------------
2007-07-18 20:55:28.840 WebKit[290] CFLog (21): Error loading /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/WebKit:  error code 4, error number 0 (Symbol not found: _WebCoreUnicodeDirectionFunction

The crash was fixed in bug 11430.

[Patricia Warwick]

That error message is in the console log.

Thank you for verifying this!

According to the analysis in bug 10510, it's a bug in Acrobat Viewer 7 that it cannot work with WebKit nightly builds (but it should hopefully work again after installing using Safari 3 beta, or a future Safari 3 release).
