How I make the Web Browser Control to display a PDF in Windows 8

I have an application that run ok in previous version of windows,  Where I can load a PDF file and the web browser control automatically use the Reader OCX of Adobe,, After Install windows 8 and download the reader for windows 8 still get and (X) where the document should be displayed.  I use the following command in my program to force the windows 8 to use the same web browser (10) in my web browser control.
WebBrowser1.Navigate(DocumentName,"",Nothing,"User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/6.0)")
But still get an  (X). IF I use the URL that is in the property of the (X) and paste in my regular IE10, it open the PDF file.

Adobe Reader Touch is a Windows Store app and does not install a browser add-on/plug-in for "in-browser" PDF viewing.
You can either
Install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app) which installs browser plug-ins for Microsoft IE and Mozilla Firefox
Use Google Chrome, which has a built-in PDF viewer (enabled by default)

  • Visual Studio 2013. Viewing a PDF file via the Web Browser control in Windows 8.1

    I am writing a Windows Forms application in which I need to view PDF files via the Web Browser control. When the control is given the Navigate() command, Windows takes over and asks which program I want to open the file with. All was fine with VS 2010 and
    XP. I have un-installed "PDF Complete", which was the default PDF viewer, but I now get asked for an alternative.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Mike,
    It seems that we could use Internet Explorer to open a local .PDF file if it has the Adobe Reader. I doubt that the web control would be related to it. Like the MVP's suggset in the following thread, maybe it would be related
    to certain plug-in tools in your side like the adober reader.

  • How to close the web browser

    How can I be sure the web browser and all screens are completely closed on the droid 2

    Why is closing the browser important? Are you concerned about battery life?
    To close any app that is running you can go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running and force stop on the browser.
    It is certainly harder than on PC or MAC platforms, and even on some other smartphones.  At the same time, in many smartphones including Windows Mobile, iPhone, BB and others, the general model is different than computers - the general approach is that well behaved applications in essence are meant to be demanding no CPU when they are not in focus, unless there's some explicit background function like periodically obtaining e-mail and such.
    Certainly this may not always be the case, especially if an app is not coded correctly - but generally the guidelines for developers of smartphone code across multiple platforms discourages having an exit button and instead focuses on how to make sure an app is well behaved and low in demand during expected prolonged periods of dormancy.

  • How to make the web part and web part zone smaller?

    Hello Community
        On WS2012 running SharePoint 2013 Server when you edit a page
    the web part zone is big and when you add the web part the web part 
    is big also.
        So the question is how to you make web parts and web part zone
    smaller?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to make the web part zone and web part smaller.
    When you edit a page, you could change the height and width of the web part in Edit Web Part -> Appearance by typing in the Height and Width field. The size of the web part zone changes with the web part.

  • How to close the web browser already opened by a SAP report?

    Hi all,
    pretty strange question: a report written on an old 46C system "triggers" a web app opening a web link with the predefined browser.
    I've seen many alternatives to open a web page (call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute, call method open_browser), but no methods to eventually close the browser and I wonder if it's possible.
    The meaning of this request: the report will probably scheduled, so we'd like to trigger the web app and then close the browser... we are using this unusual method since managing web service calls in our obsolete system seems problematic (we opened a thread in SOA section specifically on the topic... seems it's not possible to do in a "clean" way).

    After trying a bit, I noticed it's not possible since there's no control on the lauched application. Solved using a workaround, thanks

  • Safari 7.1 opens direct image links centered in the web browser. I need it to open them left aligned like before the 7.1 update. How do I do make it do that?

    This is a major issue. I need the browser to open images left aligned like it did before this update. This is a major break to force this on people. There should be a option to click. "Check this box to open images centered in the web browser" and "Check this box to open images left aligned'.
    Not that hard to do. Now I am forced to resorting to asking how I can force my browser to go back to how it worked before the update.

    Anyone have any idea how to force Safari to work like I want it to?

  • Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.
