WEBDAV Changes not saving

Post by vlkmxhn »

Hi everyone,

we are using PDF-XChange Editor in our local government organisation. We got nearly 800 Clients using the Software. Also we use a central Document Management System.
The DMS system is serving files using WEBDAV.

On some clients there are no problems and on some clients changes they made to a pdf file are not saving. Sometimes they never save. Sometimes they save after a second try.

The changes are for example adding text, adding annotiations, rotate site....

Version 10.0.1 build 371
Windows 10 x64
Clients and Webdav Location same LAN

Hi, vlkmxhn

We will need to collect more data to be able to speak to this. Unfortunately the WebDAV plugin being new does not sport any logging options. I have asked the dev who made the feature what we can do, he is unavailable until tomorrow. We may need to create a special "debug build" for you that is designed to log the transactions/communications between the host and client. If that is the path he recommends would you be amenable to that? It would involve installing a special version on the problematic machine.

Kind regards,

Hi, again

what you can do is run this PowerShell after replacing "localhost" with the WebDAV server:
Hi.
I need them to run PowerShell,

Code: Select all

(Invoke-WebRequest https://localhost/* -Method 'OPTIONS').Headers
replacing https://localhost with the server they are using
and send us the report.

If the server is a public server you can just give us the URL and we can do it ourselves.


Kind regards,
