Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1)  When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected.  However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option.  Why does this happen????? 
2)  The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email;   HOWEVER,  one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task.  Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ????  We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI.  Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

    In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div' or any of my 'designer' tools?

    Insertion of APDivs/Layers are deprecated in CC. Historically, APDivs caused many, many problems for people who didn't understand they were not intended to be used as a primary layout tool.  Look at FluidGrid Layouts.

    Why is extension not a drop down option for me under window (window > extension) in Illustrator CC 2014?
    I need to open an extension I have downloaded and added to the Adobe Extension Manager CC but the extension option on the window drop down is not present.

    SUCCESS!! I figured out that you need the Application Frame option checked in order to achieve the layout I like. Silly me.

  • Article IDoc not getting processed in PI for particle article type

    Hello All,
         I have an strange behaviour in my system.
    i.e 1, we are creating an article IDOC by using BD10 for particulat article type.
    2, IDOC created succesfully , then
    3, Process the IDOC in BD87 to push the IDOC to PI system .
    4, But i could not see the message in PI that too only for one article type.
    I'm wondering why this is not getting processed only for one article type and not for others.
    we also checked the basic filter for the message type in dist model and even i could not see any condition in PI also,
      Is there any thing else i should check? can you please help us on this.
    Regards , Sethu.

    Hi,
    Try to reimport the metadata of IDOC into PI in idx2. Also check the port definition in ECC and whether the segment is released or not. Please go through the below discussions it may help you.
    EDISDEF: Port XXX segment defn E2EDK35 in IDoc type ORDERS05 CIM type
    IDoc 0000000000181226 was saved but cannot or should not be sent

  • Not getting Selection(Prompt) option for the WebI Query.

    Hello Experts,
    I built WebI query for the custom query of SAP BI.I am not getting an selection or prompt for the WebI Query even though there is a selection in BI Query.If i develop WebI report for the standard query of the Bex i am getting selction options.
    Please suggest how can i do this.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shiva Kumar G.C

    Hi Shiva,
    Where in the Query Designer are the selections defined?
    Selections defined under Characteristic Restrictions should show up when you run the webi report.
    Additional selections created under Default Values won't show running a webi report (that is just an additional filter on the data retrieved from the data warehouse).

  • Open in iBooks does not show up in options for a PDF

    I am trying to get a PDF into iBooks on my ipad without syncing to iTunes. I read that when a PDF is opened in email or Safari an "Open in iBooks" option shows up. Under Open in.... I have about 6 options for different Apps but iBooks is not one of them. I do I get iBooks to show up in Open In.........?

    It might depend on whether the PDF has got some of digital rights management on it that is not supported by iBooks. I think the limit for the number of apps that appears in the 'open in' menu is 10 apps, so if you've only got 6, and iBooks is installed on your iPad, then it not appearing in the list kind of implies to me that it's not supported. Have you tried resetting your iPad to see if that 'clears' the problem : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    No the person who can check out using the link in the email has the same permissions as me.  We have looked at all kinds of settings, profile etc and nothing evident can be determined to explain the reason.  However, one difference we did notice is that this person does not have a default web browser set and thus when clicking on items to open, it always pops up a dialog box asking which program to use to open it with.  This person chooses Adobe Reader and it opens on the Sharepoint server as it should and she gets the checkout option in a dialog box just like clicking on the document in the library.  My theory is that this step of choosing the program to open with is interrupting the typical way a pdf file is handled when clicking on URL links to the document, which is…. it is opened as temporary internet file rather than on the Sharepoint server.   Hopefully someone can figure this out ☺

  • Whats the best option for passing parameters between tf?

    Dear All,
    I have three Task Flows:
    1. TF1
         -  Main Taskflow that calls a web service to gather its data
    2. TF2
         -  Secondary taskflow which receives a parameter and depending on the value of the parameter received will display its data accordingly.  Generally any data
         is feed from TF1
    3. TF3
         -  Same as TF2Use Case:
    All three TF will be dropped to the page as Regions in a Webcenter Portal Application. Changes in TF1 should propagate into TaskFlow 2.
    Question:
    1. How do I configure that changes in TF1 would be propagated back into task flow 2 and 3 and whats the best option for this?
    2. At runtime, user can choose to edit the page and TF2 and TF3 can be deleted but TF 1 should remain as the source of information.
    Given the scenario above:
    - shall I wire the taskflows via page parameters?
    - contextual events?
    What are the considerations that needs to be thought of. I havent done such requirements before.
    Please help.
    Webcenter 11.1.1.6

    Contextual events seem to be the best case.
    This way you can trigger whenever you want. Web services can be slow so you can trigger the event when the gathering of the data has been finished and then pass some value on the event.
    An event also has a payload so it's an ideal scenario to add the data from the service on it so you can use it in the other TF's.
    In order to manage the deletion of the TF1, you can use the UI events on the composer: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_page_editor_adv.htm#CHDHHFDJ

  • How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files

    How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files. I have been able to subscribe in the past, but now all I see is annual subscription. I do not need an annual subscription because I do not use it often enough.

    Hi paige1186,
    The Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which allows you to combine PDF, is only available at an annual rate of $89.99. We do offer month-to-month subscriptions of Acrobat Pro and Standard, but I think you'd actually come out ahead with the annual PDF Pack subscription, if you planned on combining files more than 3-4 times throughout the year.
    Best,

  • TS4022 why am I not getting the Advance options when I am in my iCloud account?

    Why am I not getting the "Advance" option when I am in my iCloud account?

    There is no 'Advanced' option at icloud.com. Is this a question of changing the default email address? I quote:
    In iOS 6
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Account (your Apple ID) >Advanced: Mail.
    Under iCloud Account Information, tap your email address.
    From the list of addresses available, tap the @icloud.com email address you would like to use as the default address for sending mail from iCloud Mail.
    In OS X Mountain Lion or Lion v10.7.2 (or later)
    Go to Mail Preferences > Composing.
    Click the Send new messages from drop-down and select the @icloud.com email address you’d like to use.
    At iCloud.com
    Go to the Mail app.
    Click the Action (gear icon) menu and choose Preferences.
    Under Composing, click the Set a default address drop-down and select the @icloud.com address you’d like to use.
