I can view doc, ppt, ptf..in IE. I also have thumbnails of them. and I successfully drag the file to ActiveX document plugin test panel. but sitll couldn't view them including pdf.
Is there anything I should notice? security? antivirus program?
If you can view them in the ActiveX Document plugin's test panel then they should work in the viewer, provided you've added their file extensions to the plugin.
For PDF I recommend enabling the PDF-ActiveX plugin and not adding .PDF to the ActiveX Document plugin. This is because bugs* in Acrobat/Adobe Reader mean that some versions of it crash with the ActiveX Document plugin.
(*e.g. It doesn't check for errors when asking the host for interfaces...)
I guess I know what is going on here.
I'm using non-english OS environment, traditional chinese one.
the file path seems to be messed up. the file and folder name can't include any Chinese characters.
Of course, I use unicode version DO in windows xp pro. So I think it's still a bug right?

I'm not sure about the PDF-ActiveX plugin (it's not my code) but yes, the ActiveX Document plugin has not yet been updated to work with Unicode so this may be a problem.
Apologies for that. I'll add it to my list of things to look at.
I wonder if Opus could/should pass the short versions of Unicode filenames to non-Unicode plugins? (Or even send them an IStream so they don't have to know the filename, if they support IStream.)
pdf-activex also have a problem.
it works fine with english file path.
But with Chinese path, the Chinese charater seems pass O.K., but lack the file extension....then give me the IE error screen, "can not find the file".
I checked the file name IE tried to open.
For instance,
'e:"Chinese Char"\friends.pdf' becomes 'e:"Chinese char"\friends.'
Best regards,

this problem still on DO8.225u.
only on like C:\ root path, DO Viewer is OK.
if path is "C:\123\Not English Name\1.doc",DO Viewer not work.
