So what's the Java part of your question? Just serve the stupid file and see whether the browser can cope...

Display Excel on browser & read the edited Excel sheet

Hi,
Till now i was using POI api to create Excel sheet and add data to the sheet. Now we had a requirement to display Excel sheet on browser. User can edit the Excel and on click of Save button, we need to read the data and save it to Database. If i use frames i can display Excel on browser. But once user edits the Excel, how to read the Excel sheet which is displayed on browser.

It sounds like what you're trying to do is write an Excel<-->HTML converter, no? If you want it editable through a browser (presumably with no Excel installed) but stored in the native format?

How to display Excel output in browser instead of client desktop

Hi,
Similar to PDF and Text output, Is it possible to display Excel Output In browser itself.
Whenever we try to view the report where the output type is excel, the output opens in Excel Desktop version.
We have a requirement where we need the output to be displayed in browser itself.
I have tried modyfing the Viewer profiles but was not able to get the desired result. We are currently working on E-Business Suite 11g.

Centering and displaying 100% in browser won't work.

I believe I followed the instructions that were posted previously and I did some reading about centering a page and displaying the page at 100% but I can't seem to make them work correctly. I might have a conflict or something can you help.
I designed a website which was 1000px wide and now they want it changed (they want an image on both sides of the page)-so instead of changing it around completely and trying to mess with the areas and buffers and all of that fun stuff. I decided to leave the #container (which is were all the data for the site is and were as the template is applied to other pages the size will change -the height will change but the width should stay 100px.)that was there and then wrapp it up completly in another div tag which i labeled #master_container then I inserted 2 more div tags and placed the images on either side as is desired. I followed the instructions above (because now the site is soo big displaying in a browser is diffacult). I need the site to do 3 things.
-i need it to display centered on the page so that no matter what browser it is displayed in or what size screen it is viewed on it fits the center of the screen.
-I also would like it to fit the screen of the person using it so that they see the whole page as one and there isn't a huge blank space on one of the sides -right now it is on the right.
-if you know how to make the two images on the side of the screen scroll as the person scrolls down the page-(ie-so that they don't see part of the image sometimes and other parts of it when they move farther down-wouldl like it to scroll with them as they move down the page)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Ok I have no idea what i am doing wrong this is the most frusterating thing I have ever done. I will never build another webpage again.
Here is the problem that I have i don't care how it gets solved but I just need it solved. this is over a week trying to solve one problem. I just don't have the time to do it anymore but I need it done.
1) this page (http://practiceuploadingsite.info/) needs to be centered. That's all just centered in the brosers that it opens in. (nothing I try seems to work)
2) every other page on that website after you click into the home page (http://practiceuploadingsite.info/Pages/home.html) is made by the application of a template. All I want to do is keep eveything the same as it is right now and just add 2 background images (one on the right and one on the left) so that this:
fits inside of the blank space of this:
preferably so the images scroll down the page because the center colum will change height but not widith depending on the page the template is applied to.
I even tried to remake the template as to include the images all at once with the div tages and the header seems to have nothing but problems and I couldn't get them to stay together correctly. they keep coming up uneven and the header that is contained on the page spans the entire container and will not just stay the way it is.
Just please tell me how to do this and you will never hear from me again.
I am uploading the site information so you have the files I am working from Idk if it is something wrong with the headers the div containers or what but almost just put my computer through the window so I don't care how to get it done just please spell it out so I can follow it correctly.
THANK YOU!!

How can I display Excel document saved as html in ebDynpro Office Contol?

Hello,
I have a problem with displaying of Excel document saved as html inside WebDynpro Office Control.
Could you explain why OfficeControl cannot display Excel document with content type =text/htm?
How you know, control must be bound to binary data. And then mime type is set as
bin.setMimeType(new WebResourceType("html", "text/html", false));
The empty document is displayed always.
Nevertheless, excel file is displayed perfect, when
bin.setMimeType(new WebResourceType("xls ", "application/msexcel", false));

The OfficeControl UI element is made available as an ActiveX control, so that the UI element can be displayed in browsers that support ActiveX controls.
The ActiveX control enables display of the following documents:
1.Microsoft Word documents with the doc file extension
2.Microsoft Excel documents with the xls file extension
This is the reason why document with other content types are not displayed.
Data source must be bound to binary data because files are read as bytes in this scenario.
Hope this helps you.
Do let me know if your problem is solved.
Regards,
Vijith

Acrobat 9.5.0 - when logged in as ONE user unselect "Display PFD in browser" don't work

Have Acrobat standard v9.5.0 running on Win7 - 64 bits. All up to date patched. On one user I can not let PDF files downloaded from the Internet open in an external window. I in the Preference I have unselected "Display FDP in browser". Then I can see the file is downloaded, but never opened. I if select "Display FDP in browser" it is (now) OK. If I uninstall IE9 and am running IE8 or Firefox, everything is fine. It is also fine if I log in as another user.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat and reinstalled. Uninstalled IE9 and reinstalled. My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the registry HCU part for the "problem" user. I have deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0 but still I have problems.
My question is: Which part of registry controls IE9 and opening PDF files downloaded from internet? How can I find the "bad registry key" for the problem user?
Thanks in advance
Harald

Is IE9 Security preventing the download of the file? IE9 has a security feature that does this and pops a dialog at the bottom of the browser window, you might want to check it out.

Acrobat 9 "Display PDF in Browser" on IE7 crashes the browser

Hi,
Here's what is happening. My company purchased a few licenses for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9, and they were installed on some of the company laptops. These laptops are in a UAC controlled SOE environment, so the employees are restricted to do any updates/installations that requires rights. The Adobe Professional 9 was installed through SCCM advertisement, and the "Display PDF in Browser" option was enabled.We discovered that when we attempt to download any pdf files off the web, the browser would stop responding/hangs during the duration of the downloads (shown at the status bar of IE), and we can only kill off the process.
The current workaround is to disable the "Display PDF in Browser" and download the file directly. However, it came to some points where the pdf documents contains some dynamic links over https on the site is is residing. In which case, the pdf have to be open to view from the secured site for the dynamic link to works.
Previously with Adobe Reader 9, we face no such issue. Only after we installed Acrobat Professional 9, this issue surfaces.
We have tried uninstalling the Reader before installing the Acrobat to prevent any chances of conflicts, problem persisted.
Here are the versions of the software involved.
Adobe Reader v9.3
Adobe Acrobat Professional v9.0.0
Internet Explorer v7.0.6002.18005
I have looked through the forums for similar cases, unless I have missed the keywords, I do not see any similar cases.
Has anyone encountered similar issues? Would appreciate if you could share on what was done to circumvent this. Thank you!
Jiang.

Hi broger_1,
Thanks for your reply.
In regards to your query:
Is the problem seen with both Reader and Acrobat?
No, this is only seen when Acrobat is install. It is working fine when only Reader is installed.
What is your definition of a dynamic link? Post example.
At the moment, I cannot find a online example for reference. I will try to describe by example.
Let's say if I goes to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_1.pdf, and the "Display PDF in Browser" was already enabled.
The content of the broc_1.pdf contains a hyperlink that points to "../broc_2.html"
Our issue now is the we can only download the pdf file to a folder, say c:/pdfs/broc_1.pdf, so when we tried to access the dynamic link, it will tries to locate c:/pdfs/broc_2.html, which is non-existence. And direct access to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_2.html would not work for some reason (possibily session restriction, or something else).
What are your security settings? (is Enhanced Security enabled?)
This setting is currently disabled in the Acrobat Pro 9 preference. Should this stays as disabled?
This only happens when attempting to "download & display" any pdf files from the net, displaying of local pdf that is already downloaded is fine.

Adobe Reader X - Disable "Display PDF in Browser" via Registry

I'm trying to configure my organization's Windows workstations so that web-based PDF files open in Adobe Reader rather than in internet browsers. I have been able to configure Adobe Reader 9 installations to open web-based PDF files in Reader rather than internet browsers by using the following registry setting:
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
Value name
bBrowserIntegration
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
My problem lies with Adobe Reader X: I used the following settings in attempting to prevent Adobe Reader X installations from opening web-based PDFs in internet browsers:
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Originals
Value name
bBrowserIntegration
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Originals
Value name
bAllowByteRangeRequests
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
Hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral
Value name
bBrowserDisplayInReadMode
Value type
REG_DWORD
Value data
0x0 (0)
I've only had partial success, though. Internet Explorer respects the registry settings and opens web-based PDFs in Reader X. Firefox 14.0.1, though, ignores the registry settings and opens web-based PDFs in Firefox.
Is there a different registry setting I should be using so that Firefox sees "Display PDF in Browser" unchecked and allows web-based PDFs to be opened in Reader X? Is there another method I should be following for deploying this setting to Adobe Reader X clients?

Hi,
We'll, you've educated yourself well. Unfortunately, Acrobat products can't control what browsers do so uniform behavior is not possible. The setting is Adobe's best attempt and forcing some consistency.
The ReadMode setting only controls what happens in the UI after the PDF is open.

What is your operating system? Browser? Reader version?

Display PDF in Browser Option

I am able to open a PDF file from a particular protected Website. I can fill in the required info, but when I attempt to Save/File it back to the site, the following pops up: "For security reasons your return could not be saved. Please ensure that the 'Display PDF in Browser' option is selected under the Edit-Preferences-Internet Settings in Adobe Reader."
Adobe Reader XI, Internet Explorer 10 & Windows 7 are loaded on my PC.
I cannot trace 'Display PDF in Browser' under settings, but using Tools>Manage Add-ons>Toolbars and Extensions>Show>All Add-ons, I can see that 'Open PDFs in the Browser' is Enabled.
I also used the Registry Editor: Adobe>Reader>exe to confirm the Name, Type & Data in the string value: (ab), REG_SZ, C:\Program Files\(x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
No help is forthcoming from the Website, despite me logging a call to their service centre
Does the problem lie at my end, or the Website?

Hi Ben,
I manually added the registry setting but it made no difference.
I uninstalled 10.1.4 and reinstalled 10.1.3 and with 10.1.3 I am able to view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
I re-downloaded and reinstalled 10.1.4 and retried and now I can view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
Strange.

Display PDF in browser issue in 9.1.1

We deployed the 9.1.1 msp update to all of our clients but we realized that it unchecks "Display PDF in browser," so now I need to figure out how to get that checkbox rechecked for every current user and any new user that logs on.
I know that all I need to do is delete bBrowserIntegration in HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals but this will only change for the currently logged on user. For shared machines that we currently have deployed in our environment how to I change this setting for all of the users that are currently not logged on or for any future users that may log on?
Thanks for any help.

I would create a script to go into the active setup folder that will run when each user logs in. Appdeploy is a good website for stuff like this. Here is a link that will might be able to help you create a active setup script if you're not sure.

'Display PDF in browser' whats the default?

Can anyone tell me definitively what the current default setting has been for whether Preferences/Internet Options/'Display PDF in browser' is checked or unchecked?
I'm curious to know as well if it has changed with 8, 9, and 10?

For all three the default is "checked".
Be well...

"Display PDF in Browser" setting - $500 reward for the solution

The corporate policy requires the "Display PDF in Browser" setting to be unchecked for all applications, this is to open the PDF document in new reader instance but our specific application needs the reader to be opened in the same browser even if the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work? I am looking for programatic way to set this preference in HTML javasript or Java Applet or ActiveX or any other means. I am currently using JS and Object tag, the only functions that we need at this point are page navigation and getting current page using JS.
Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser? How can this be progrmatically achieved without altering the original PDFs?
I realize that this may be difficult and am looking for workarounds or alternate solutions to meet my req. $500 for anyone who could can provide solution.. Please email me [email protected]
thanks,
- Ray

Issues with Display PDF in Browser option

We've recently hit a problem with our application that used to successfully display PDFs in a web browser control. In Adobe Reader 9.x it worked no problem. In Adobe Reader 10.1.3, it stopped working. I'm working along the line that it is something to do with the interaction between the ActiveX viewer and Internet Explorer when in a Citrix environment. (IE is version 8, OS is Windows 2003 Server). To help determine it was the Citrix element that was the cause, with the 'Display PDF in Browser' option active and using Adobe Reader 10.1.3 I launched IE from a command window passing the pdf file name as an argument and the PDF was successfully displayed in the IE browser. Now Adobe Reader 10.1.4 the latter is no longer working; the PDF is always displayed in the Adober viewer.
Has Display PDF in Browser been effectively disabled in 10.1.4?
If it should work as before, what can I do to restore the situation?
TIA
Craig

Hi Ben,
I manually added the registry setting but it made no difference.
I uninstalled 10.1.4 and reinstalled 10.1.3 and with 10.1.3 I am able to view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
I re-downloaded and reinstalled 10.1.4 and retried and now I can view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
Strange.
Regards
Craig

I enable Display PDF in browser but still opens in Reader

Our current client PC's are Windows XP 32-bit, IE 7, using Adobe X v.10.1.2. We have an application that opens PDF files. We have the parameter "Display PDF in browser" enabled and it opens in the browser as it should.
However, new PC's are built with Windows 7 63-bit, IE 8, using Adobe X v.10.1.2. Using the same application with the parameter "Display PDF in browser" enabled, it always asks if you want to open in Reader or save the file. That shouldn't happen. It does this whether the paramter is enabled or disabled, it also does this using 32bit IE 8 or 64bit.
Is this a Adobe bug, Win 7 bug, or how can we make it open in the browser? Using another browser is not an option. IE is the company standard.
Thanks

Does it work correctly on "normal" web pages, e.g. the PDF links near the bottom of http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums ?
In a 32-bit browser, the PDFs should open inside the browser.
With a 64-bit browser, the PDFs will open in an external Adobe Reader window.
