Can you set a PDF to NOT open in a browser?

Is there a way to set a PDF so it opens up in an Acrobat reader, but NOT in a viewer's browser?

No, you can't control how it will be opened by a reader. You can recommend to your user(s) that they download Adobe Reader and provide a link to download the software.

PDFs do not open in the browser since IE11

Hi,
since the IE11 is installed the PDFs do not open in the browser with Adobe Reader, but directly in Adobe Reader.
The PDFs can be filled but not saved online because they are not open in IE.
If I disable the PlugIn in IE11 and activate again it works again indefinitely.
Can you help me?
PS: translated with Google Translate
Thanks

This, to me, sounds like it's working. Or perhaps a problem with the translation?

Can I set 'junk" controls to NOT open (show as read) emails when I manually mark them as junk?

I prefer to NOT open email messages that are junk, because I believe this could notify junk mailers that they have found an active email address. However, if I right click on an unopened email in my Inbox and select "Mark" and then "As Junk", the email is placed in my Junk mailbox (as I prefer) but shown as opened. Is there some way I can prevent the emails from being opened when they are put in my Junk mailbox?

You can try to un-check the 'Mark messages determined to be Junk as read' option.

In any case, when marking a message as Junk, it isn't opened. It just gets marked as 'Read'.

Can you set a pdf to default the page scaling to 'off'?

We have a pdf that our customers will print to measure their arm, but most printers tend to page scale and therefore the measurements will be off, is there a way to turn this option off in the pdf settings?

Tricky - PDF file not Opening from Web Browser based application

Hi Guys,
Just a brief history about the issue:
At my client site everything was fine when IE7 was there and everybody were able to open PDF files from web applications in browsers. But after a IE8 upgrade, things changed and customers are facing problems. All are Windows XP SP3 machines
Issue: If they try to open a pdf file from the browser it just stucks at 0% and hangs with "Cancel" button. Even if they try to save that file it tell downloading and hangs again in the screen without downloading the file.
Initial fix:
Open Adobe Reader
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> set the indicator "Display PDF in browser"
-> Reboot the machine
This fix worrked for some people but many user are still experiencing the same thing even after changing the setting many times.
Friends, Is there anything else might be creating the trouble here. Please let me know, and why it is that for some systems it is working and for it is not ?
Thanks,

There was a browser bug with IE in the past that seemed to span several browser versions. It had to do with the interaction of the browser and the webserver. The short version is that I had to toggle the caching option on the folder.
Here's what I ended up doing for my client:
Move their PDF documents into a subfolder called forms and all Flash animations into a subfolder called flash
Marked all folders in the site to "Expire Immediately" (IIS -> highlight root folder -> Properties)
Individually marked the "/forms" and "/flash" folders to toggle this caching option
In this way, it allowed dynamic pages to deliver non-cached content (from the server's perspective) and it allowed binary downloads like Flash animations and PDF files to work as expected without errors. The bug has to do with the cache-negotiation handshaking that goes on between the browser and server.
This may not be what you're seeing but it's good to remember because I've seen it often: the settings that you'd use to optimize a web applications don't seem to work for binary downloads like a PDF document.

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents in the pages app?

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents from the internet into the pages app?

No - and you can't open pdf files in the Pages app on the iPad anyway as far as I know. You can export a Pages file as a pdf but you can't open them in Pages.

Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

Hi all,
I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
I created an Automator action that does two things:
gets the selected Finder items
opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
Thanks...

is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Can you lock a pdf file?

Hi all! I have a client who has created a pdf booklet. It's a form that people will be filling out. She wants to distribute it on a CD. So... people will have to be able to copy it to their computer to open and fill it in. However, she then wants them to NOT be able to copy the pdf (she doesn't want it duplicated so that others can use it). Is this even possible? Can you lock a pdf like that? Thanks!
Julie

>What kind of restrictions?
Check File>Properties>Security for the different options.
Keep in mind that security on a PDF file is easy to get around.

Password protected PDF files not opening in Android

Hi
I was trying to open my credit card statement on my Android Galaxy S2 I9100 phone. Although it looks like that the Adobe reader 10.0.2 version (Build 40862) is capable of opening Password protected files but I got an error "The document cannot be opened because it is corrupted or damaged."
I tried downloading it multiple times but faced the same issue. I googled and found that the similar issue has been reported by other users as well.
Is this a known issue? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help.
Thanks,
Anuj Aggarwal

Hi Anuj,
Normally this error message comes when the pdf content is corrupt.
Can you provide us with few more details to help us narrow down the cause.
1. Are you able to open it on Desktop Adobe Reader ?
2. Are you not able to open any of your credit card statements ?
3. If possible can you share the pdf with us, so that we can isolate the issue at our end(your data will be kept confidential). If not can you share the name of the bank on which your credit card is issued so that we can get hold of similar pdf ?
Thanks in advance.
