Thanks Tim,

Your remarks about the browser got me thinking.
I *cleared my browser cache* (Firefox), and the PDF error disappeared,
and I was/am able to download PDFs as an anonymous user.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Eric,

As noted in the DSpace Documentation, both COAR Notify and Quality Assurance are disabled by default.  You have to manually enable both via a configuration setting.  See the configuration docs for each at:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/COAR+Notify
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Quality+Assurance

Based on the snippet of the error you've shared, it almost sounds like you have a custom PDF viewer or something in place? The error says:

Message: Invalid PDF structure. viewer.mjs:12365:13

I'm not sure what "viewer.mjs" is?  I don't believe that is included in DSpace by default.

So, this all seems odd to me, as I'm not sure what is attempting to open your PDF files.  By default, DSpace will just stream the PDF to your browser (which should trigger a download unless your browser can open up PDF files).

As a sidenote, I also can verify we don't see this same behavior on our demo site (running 8.1) at https://demo.dspace.org

    I think they are causing PDF downloads to fail for Anonymous users.

    Starting with 8.0, *as an Anonymous user*, I've been getting
    *@ Authentication is required (status:401 exception: Access

    which causes the PDF download to fail with the following error in
    the browser console.

    /*When logged in as an Administrative user, no errors occur, and

    My guess is that somehow COAR Notify - LDN Services
    <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/COAR+Notify+-+LDN+Services>
    and Quality Assurance
    <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/OpenAIRE+Integration>
    features have been enabled by default,
    and that is causing these errors. I also note that 2 new Solr
    cores are included in DSpace 8.x, *qaevent* and *suggestions*.

    I'm pretty sure I don't need any of this LDN / Quality Assurance
    stuff. And I'm hoping if I disable them, Anonymous users
    will once again be able to download PDFs.

    Thanks.

    Eric Montague, Developer
