Has anyone successfully convinced SuperContainer to render pdfs on an OSX Server 10.6 running Java 6? I referred to the workaround that suggested running SuperContainer via Java 5 rather than Java 6; but on my system I no longer have access to the Java 1.5. I am guessing that it is the incompatablity between SuperContainer and Java 6 and CoreImage tha is causing the problem.

thanks

SuperContainer is fully compatible with Java 6 on OSX and on Windows.

SuperContainer will only generate PDF previews when you are running SuperContainer in stand-alone mode using SuperConainerServer.jar on OSX. SuperContainer will operate on port 8020 when using this deployment.

Thanks - this is a powerful forum! - where previously uploading a pdf yielded only the name of the file being displayed; since the above post; uploading a pdf now generates a thumbnail which was exactly what I was after. Funny, I changed nothing between the upload not generating a thumbnail, and now generating the thumbnail.

Thanks for your help, whatever is was, it has fixed my problem.

Further investigation shows Smefs post wasn't a miracle cure - Smef is quite right; all works fine provided the PDF being uploaded has a .pdf suffix - with the suffix a thumbnail is rendered, without a suffix CoreImage must not know what type of file it is dealing with and gives up so you end up with only file name and size info being displayed.

But all good - SuperContainer works very well and has solved a major problem for me.
