PHP 5.4 compatible?

Hi there,

PHP 5.4 shouldn’t be a problem. The error you’re seeing is cropping up occasionally all over the place and is a kind of connectivity problem on Google’s end. Some people who have reported this saw it disappear within a day or so without any action, while others found that moving their files to another web host (or a dropbox link temporarily) resolved the issue.

None of those are convenient, but unfortunately I’m at Google’s mercy in this regard. The plugin is working correctly but Google isn’t fetching the documents in a timely way for conversion. This occurs even if you use their viewer directly (without GDE).

Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon. I’ve definitely learned never to invest a lot of programming hours building up a product that relies on third party code, because it’s frustrating for me as well when there are issues I can’t control.

Thanks for the reply… my PDFs are on my server and I have also tried linking to them from DropBox and GoogleDocs directly without luck.. I will try to find a workaround.

Google Docs probably won’t work, but if you’re trying dropbox as a workaround and getting a different error message, you might be able to get it to work if you temporarily turn off “check for errors before loading viewer” on the Advanced tab.

Wish I could give you a more direct solution. ??

Using DropBox I get source code in the preview window.

Tried turning off “check for errors…” with no change.

Screencast link doesn’t seem good, but I’m wondering what kind of doc you’re embedding (you mentioned PDF, is that all?). I’ve seen that “source code” type appearance in the viewer when trying to use certain Office XML docs (docx, xlsx, etc.). But then again it may just be the HTML source of some other error page?
