  • 1.  Unable to open pdfs from RDS App

    Posted 03-19-2019 17:04
    Client just went live on a new RDS server (2016), they run from a published app for Sage 100, they are using paperless office for journals and registers. Users are getting the message below:

    Adobe Reader DC is installed. This does not happen to me (domain admin) when logged into the server nor when using the RDS App. IT also created a test user with the same rights as ordinary users (at least we think it's the same) and the error does not display.The pdf's are getting created in paperless, and the program continues on and allows the users to update (without seeing the register/journal).

    IT is at a complete loss as to what to do. I am thinking there is an association for the '.pdf' extension missing for all the users somewhere?

    Any ideas? TIA.

    Has the user tried associating one of the PDF files with acrobat reader?  Right click on the PDF file then "open with", choose Adobe Acrobat, then check the box to always associate .

    @Doug Higgs they don't get a desktop on the RDS Server. Reader IS associated with pdf's on their local machine, but it is the Terminal Server that is complaining.

    If this is popping up when printing a journal, have you tried opening a PDF using the Paperless viewer?

    Yep @Kevin Moyes I found that article as well, along with another and forwarded them to IT.

    Microsoft Gurus; is INSTALL mode necessary anymore with Server 2016 RDS?

    I think Windows may do it automatically now, but I still change user /install anyway out of habit.
