ONBASE

Sample PDF Documents

Using these sample documents to help with trouble-shooting
The purpose of these sample PDF documents is to help trouble-shoot problems displaying a PDF
document in OnBase. The commonly-reported symptom is that the document opens in OnBase but is
blank. The usual cause is that the PDF document itself is secured at some level, and the particular
viewer being used to open the document is defeated by the security method. (See the Help page.)
The sample documents provide a mechanism for disentangling the document security method from
other potential problems within OnBase. The sample documents provided here reside outside OnBase.
If there are problems displaying these samples, then the problem is related to the interaction between
the PDF document viewer and the document itself (most likely the document security). The problem
does not lie within OnBase.
In most cases, once a PDF document is open (even if it is blank), you can check the Security Method
and Document Restrictions Summary for the document by checking Document
Properties|Security.
The sample PDF documents are:

Plain (unsecured)
A vanilla PDF document with no security applied. The security method is listed as No Security.
