topic Preview of huge pptx and docx documents is failing in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/preview-of-huge-pptx-and-docx-documents-is-failing/m-p/275597#M228727 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>According to this wiki page </SPAN><A href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformation_Limits" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformation_Limits</A><SPAN> there is a limit on the size of documents that can be previewed. I followed the guidelines in it to increase the limits but still not anything is working alright.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The thing is that the webscript that was calling the transformer was timing out I guess, because the transformation is taking too long. If I refresh the document details page after the preview was generated, the preview is now displayed with almost no delay as the preview already exists this time. I have to note that the machine running alfresco is quite slow and generating the preview according to the logs takes about 5minutes.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>This is the exception that I was getting after I tried to preview a document of 20MBs that I just uploaded:</SPAN><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />11:36:48,533 INFO&nbsp;

I have to note that the code listed under this ticket does not exist in 4.0.d and the bean configuration was pointing to a different class than the one listed under that ticket. Actually that ticket seems to have been created after the 4.0.d release so I guess the fix might come in 4.1.a? Anyway I added the code listed in that ticket in slingshot-application-context.xml and set the timeout to 10mins up from 2. This worked fine….</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But now I faced another problem. Apparently the swf that displays the preview has a separate timeout field…. So even though the webscript does not timeout…. the swf still displays a timeout message and does not display the preview. The logs print this error:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2012-05-21 13:07:46,935 WARN [webscripts.connector.RemoteClient] [http-8080-32] Exception during close() of HTTP API connection</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>… which I guess makes perfect sense and can verify that this is what is indeed happening?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now the problem is that I cannot find how to increase the timeout of the swf. Is that even possible ? I am also open to other suggestions if you have any for solving my problem.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 21 May 2012 13:45:33 GMT kriton 2012-05-21T13:45:33Z Preview of huge pptx and docx documents is failing https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/preview-of-huge-pptx-and-docx-documents-is-failing/m-p/275597#M228727 According to this wiki page http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformation_Limits there is a limit on the size of documents that can be previewed.
