SAPUI5 PDF Viewer Embedded not working on chrome

[PedroLazaro]

Hello experts! Good night!

In my current project I'm trying to load a pdf embedded in the view via the sapui5 PDFViewer control, but It only works on Microsoft Edge browser. In chrome, I'm getting a generic error like 'It was not possible to load de pdf'. 

For my surprise, the same occurs when I access the sample page:
PDF Viewer - Embedded - Samples - Demo Kit - SAPUI5 SDK (ondemand.com)

on chrome:

in edge :

here, if it is of some help, I have the console log of the chrome:

The same behavior was identified by my teammates.

May you share some thoughts?

Best regards!

Maybe a bug in ui5? Have you tested with other ui5 versions?

I know the problem from some customers who have deactivated the internal PDF reader in their browser. Have a play around with the options.

Hello, @gs_debo! Unfortunately I didn't find a solution by now.

Hello Pedro and comunity,

I've got the same issue... With this config in my browser:

While I was debugging Chrome and Edge at the same time I could see in Chrome the error MSGID: SAPUI5_APPRUNTIME_MSGID_236 but in Edge this ID never appear in the whole process (this is a hard way but i'm desperate):

I'm looking for more related to this error code but I cannot find anything...

Anyone who knows about this error?

Thanks and regards

Does anyone have a solution for this Problem? I am also experiencing the same issue.

Hi, 

i found this Note: https://me.sap.com/notes/0003510069

The issue is related to a new experimental flag being introduced by Chrome, specifically the "OOPIF for PDF Viewer" flag.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Florian! Thank you for share it! I disabled the flag and now it works!

Please let me know if you find a solution 🙂

Hi Pedro,

Which version of Chrome do you use? I have v129 and can preview the PDF fine. You can raise a ticket here also, since it has nothing to do with your custom code.
