Cross post from web developers, since this is more server based I think: I have several services with a geodatabase feature class having attachments.  These attachments are almost always PDFs.  After much experimenting I have noticed that any PDF over 5MB in size will load as gibberish in the browser window. To narrow this down to ArcGIS server, I put the same file out in a directory on the web server and browsed to it and it opened fine in the browser using the Acrobat plugin.  Previous web searches had led me to believe there might be a problem with the plugin, but since it displays fine outside of a ArcGIS map service I believe the plugin and the web server (Tomcat) are configured correctly. Is there some minimum size limit or buffer size in the REST configuration I need to enlarge?  Because it seems to always be around 5MB I get the impression there is some coded limitation somewhere that needs to be increased. ...

When I add the map service in ArcGIS.com I can get a list of layers that are able to be turned on and off.   When I add the same service to my javascript viewer (template viewer) I only get one layer which is the service name.  From what I can tell it looks like I should be getting a list of layers that can be toggled on and off as well:   function addLayerList(layers) {     var layerList = buildLayerVisibleList(layers);     if (layerList.length > 0) {         //create a menu of layers         layerList.reverse();         var menu = new dijit.Menu({             id: 'layerMenu',             baseClass: "customMenu"         });         dojo.forEach(layerList, function (layer) {             menu.addChild(new dijit.CheckedMenuItem({                 label: layer.title,                 checked: layer.visible,                 onChange: function () {                     if (layer.layer.featureCollection) {                         //turn off all the layers in the feature collection even                         //though only the  main layer is listed in the layer list                         dojo.forEach(layer.layer.featureCollection.layers, function (layer) {                             layer.layerObject.setVisibility(!layer.layerObject.visible);                         });                     } else {                         layer.layer.setVisibility(!layer.layer.visible);                     }                 }             }));         });         var button = new dijit.form.DropDownButton({             label: i18n.tools.layers.label,             id: "layerBtn",             iconClass: "esriLayerIcon",             title: i18n.tools.layers.title,             dropDown: menu         });         dojo.byId('webmap-toolbar-center').appendChild(button.domNode);     } } //build a list of layers for the toggle layer list - this list //is slightly different than the legend because we don't want to list lines,points,areas etc for each //feature collection type. function buildLayerVisibleList(layers) {     var layerInfos = [];     dojo.forEach(layers, function (mapLayer, index) {         if (mapLayer.featureCollection && !mapLayer.layerObject) {             if (mapLayer.featureCollection.layers) {                 //add the first layer in the layer collection... not all  - when we turn off the layers we'll                 //turn them all off                 if (mapLayer.featureCollection.layers) {                     layerInfos.push({                         "layer": mapLayer,                         "visible": mapLayer.visibility,                         "title": mapLayer.title                     });                 }             }         } else if (mapLayer.layerObject) {             layerInfos.push({                 layer: mapLayer.layerObject,                 visible: mapLayer.layerObject.visible,                 title: mapLayer.title             });         }     }); return layerInfos; } ...

I have a dataset with a lot of missing attribution.  As opposed to presenting the user with a popup that shows a bunch of empty values I'd like to toggle the visibility based on whether the particular field has a value.  so for instance for a given fieldname definition: {fieldname: "DPTH_M", label: "Depth (meters): ", visible: true }, if DPTH_M was empty I would not want to display this in the popup.  Can visibility be toggled true or false based on this requirement? ...

What gives? I have uploaded 3 valid metadata documents.  They have bounding coordinates (have to to be valid) yet they do not show up in any keyword or location search. ... View more
