PDFs limited to 4kB on Win32

[martin@…]

I use the trunk version of trac with Python 2.3.

I've managed to run PageToPdfPlugin on Windows.

All pdfs end exactly @ position 0x12a0 (4kb). The first 4kB are (in hexedit) excactly the same as generated with command line.

I assume this is an python error, but please help me with this.

I can't see how this could be a Python problem. I suspect it's more likely to be a web server configuration problem, but without more information I can't tell.

These kinds of things are usualy because of not working with the file in binary mode.

[Alec Thomas]

Good point. Actually, I'm also open()ing the file then immediately unlinking it, relying on *NIX file ref count semantics. But perhaps this does not work correctly under Windows?

[Alec Thomas]

I also found ​this (note the 4096), which could be the culprit.

[martin@…]

I changed pagetopdf.py#27 to:

   out = open(pfilename,'rb').read()

Now it works for me.

Maybe cause was a \0 problem or something else.
