[LON-CAPA-admin] Unusual iPad behavior with pdfs

[Lucas, Mark]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to see if anyone has experienced an issue with pdfs and iPads.

Our lab writeups are pdf files. The students download them and print them for use in lab.

If a student tries to access the pdf file through LONCAPA on an iPad on Safari, the iPad only
shows the first page of the pdf file.

This is reproducible on several different iPads at this point. It displays properly in Safari on the Mac.

These pdfs are published. If I republish this file with a public access status so that it can be
accessed with just a URL and no login, the issue does not arise.

Again, I’m just poking out there to see if anyone has run into this situation and perhaps knows why
this might be happening.

Thanks!
Mark
