I’m running Nextcloud AIO, version Hub 26 Winter (33.0.6) on Debian 13.
I discovered recently - I assume it’s a recent update that did it - that I can no longer open certain PDF’s (which, to be clear, I can still upload just fine).
A 99.7MB PDF opens, and a 101.1MB PDF doesn’t.
I’m guessing that a 100MB cutoff has been introduced.
I get this message:
I hope there is a setting for this in the user interface, as I am not at all comfortable editing config files.
Yep, you found the point there. That message comes from ONLYOFFICE, not Nextcloud’s upload limit. Its default maxDownloadBytes is 104857600 bytes, which matches your 99.7/101.1 MB test.
Try Open with, then pick the built-in PDF Viewer. If that works, the file and upload are fine. Only ONLYOFFICE is hitting the limit.
AIO doesn’t seem to expose this in the UI. I wouldn’t edit the managed container since an update may wipe it. If you need larger PDFs in ONLYOFFICE, I’d ask the AIO project for a supported override.
Thank you for your reply.
I get the error when I try to view an existing PDF - which is over 100MB, I think that is established.
If I right-click a PDF in the file list, I get this menu :
View works, so that is a step forward - but on closing the PDF, I see that it has been opened a second time, one of which is in Office, I believe - with the error message.
Still not fixed in Nextcloud AIO v13.4.0
PDF’s should not open in Office by default, either.
That completely fixed my problem. Thank you!
