Automatically open print dialogue when file loads

Hi - I am setting up a website which, after a user submits their info, opens a PDF in the browser window. Is there a way to embed in the pdf the logic that triggers a browser's print dialogue? If so, could you refer me to where I might research that? Thanks!

Don't know about the browser's print dialog, but you can have the Acrobat/Reader's print dialog launch by running this code in the console with the file opened:
this.addScript("print","this.print()")
After doing so, and saving the file, it will open the print dialog whenever it is opened.

Can you try resetting your preferences first and see if that helps - see Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences

When I connect my iPhone to my PC iTunes no longer automatically opens. And when I open it myself, my phone does not even appear under devices. Help please!!

Things to try:
Try resetting your phone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. When you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot.
Try a new sync cable (often the problem)
Make sure you phone is adequately charged
Make sure you are using latest version of iTunes

How To Automatically Open docx and xlsx files in Safari

I am been doing some searching but don't seem to be able to find an answer to what must be a very simple setting I am missing somewhere.
We have an intranet site with links to a number of docx and xlsx files, I need to tell Safari to automatically open those files rather than simply placing them in the download folder. The only information I could find mentioned creating a file called "com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist", I found an example of that file that was supposed to do what I am looking for but as far as I can tell the version of Safari I am running (5.1.9) is ignoring this file (placed in my user's preference folder in the Library).
It is frustrating to not be able to figure this out, typically I have no problem finding very basic settings such as these but this has me lost. In Firefox it is trivial and it must be in Safari too. Can anyone help tell me what I need to do so that Safari will automatically open newer MS Office files?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but there at least you are talking to people who all use the app, while in this forum (which is for hardware and not software in any case, so already off the mark, since the problem has nothing to do with hardware), it is probably a minority.

I wonder if there is another list somewhere of permissible extensions in that .plist....

How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB.

How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB? The devices do not pop up in itunes under a sync category, so I can't turn them off one by one, nor would I want to.
I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately and I didn't think it would as I only downloaded Firefox for the first time a few days ago even though I have had this problem for over six months using IE.
Anything else that you think is worth a shot?

How do I get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Etc. files?

I can't get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. files when I click on them from a Web site or Web-based email. They are automatically downloaded, but not opened. PDF files, and other "safe" file types, open automatically. The ""Open safe files after downloading" box is checked.
Any Suggestions? Thanks.

There is no glitch. Lion does support Office and Word. You can use Office 2008 or 2011.

How to prevent automatically opening of downloaded zip-files?

I have a problem to install an extension in Joomla. Joomla asks for a Zip-file. When I download the zip-file from the website, the zip-file is shown in Finder as a folder, i.e. an opened zip-file. Joomla does not see a folder, because it looks for a zip-file. I have a terrible solution, but I am sure others will know a better one. I used my old Windows computer, downloaded the zip-file that in Windows shows the extension .zip. Copy the file to Finder and now it shows in Finder the file as a zip-file. So, I suppose that my OS X (now Yosemite, but it happened already under Maverics) or my Safari changes a zip-file in an opened form. I could not find a way to change this to the state that Safari, Finder or OS X is not automatically opening zip-files.

Choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on General, and uncheck the box to automatically open safe files.

Any item downloaded automatically opens, instead of when I choose to open it. How do I stop this?

When I download mp3's, docs or powerpoints (to my desktop), these items are automatically opened in their respective programs. I would like to stop this so that items download to my desktop but stay closed until I doubleclick to open them.

I open the preferences and "applications" but I don't even see an entry for docs and ppt files and I see several for mp3's. I don't have a problem with the program being used to open the files, I just don't want them opening automatically.
Could you respond here: [email protected]
Thanks!

Problem with accordion widget flashing open and shut when page loads

why is it that my accordion widget flashes open and shut when the page is loading (see http://vincentballmusewebsite2013test.businesscatalyst.com/digital-illustration.html#.UVDr Ehx7JyII) have tried everything to solve this, and Adobes customer service is terrible they don't get back to you when they say they will.
Please help me someone,
Thanks

Thank you Zak for your help, I spent 5 hours going round in circles trying to fix that problem and that's all I needed to hear, a bit of honesty and integrity.and yes, Adobes terrible customer service has still not got back to after promising 2 level technical support to contact me last Monday, I wish there'd keep their promise
Pamela, did you try my test website or my own website and if so my own has now no accordion widget on it and my test website may need you to try loading a few times to see if it really works or not, sometimes it does actually work even on a pc but most times not.
thanks for you help too.

Opening a pdf file automatically opens last 13 pdf files viewed

I use Adobe Acrobat a lot and for some reason, I opened a pdf document yesterday and the last 13 files I viewed automatically opened. I rebooted my computer and it still does the same thing.
Does anyone know how to switch off this automation?
Appreciate anyone's feedback.
Sincerely,
dd1atslb

Do a Get Info on one of the PDF files - select the file (click it once), then press Command-I (Get Info in the File menu).
In the Get Info window, about half-way down is an item "Open with:" - set the pulldown menu in that section to "Preview".
If you want to make that change to all PDFs, then click the "Change All..." button.

Automatically opening Acrobat reader when PDF form is downloaded

Hello.
Hope we are all well.
I am wondering if there was a way to have the PDF form open up automatically in Acrobat Reader when the customer downloads it. Unfortunately I am dealing with people who aren't that internet savvy and usually impatient about it (they are tradies, mainly plasterers), so when they download the PDF form and try to open it, the web browser will try to open the PDF in another page making the "submit" button to stop working. Is there any tricks to bypass the browser from doing this so I can have it opened directly by acrobat reader if it is already installed on their pc? Cheers.

That's a shame. I have put a description on the page explaining (with a link) they will have to open in Acrobat for the submit button to work. I was hoping there might be a script to stop the browser trying to open the PDF form instead of Acrobat. Thanks for your reply .

I cannot print or open print dialogue

This morning I moved my MBP from home to the office and I can't print from any application.
The print dialogue box takes an age to open and there are no printers in there.
Also System Pref - Printers takes an age to open and its empty no printers?
Any ideas how I can reset the printer service/setting to default and reset, or recover my printers.
Thx

Thanks for the update John.
Found the fix on another part of the apple forum (https://discussions.apple.com/message/10776232#10776232)
Ended up doing the following:
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.old
sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Automatically refresh a report when it loads.

Hi,
I have a report created against the service request object which is accessed from the SR page using a weblink. However when the report is displayed it does not always show the current data. I have to click the 'refresh' link at the end of report to get it to display the correct data. Ideally I would like to avoid the user having to click 'refresh' so.....
Does anyone know how i could get the report to refresh automatically when it loads so that it always shows the current data?
Thanks in advance
