Display in PDF Browser Window option

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Reader version 8.1.2, We deploayed the software to a number of users using the adobe customization wizard to disable the "Display PDF in Browser Window Option"
We now want to enable this option for a few users that require the option ticked so they can view a pdf from a certain website.
I have tried deleting the bBrowserIntegration in HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Reader
\8.0\FeatureLockDown
This enables the option to be modified but once I tick the box and close and re-open adobe reader it does not remember that I have ticked it.
Without re-installing adobe does anybody have any ideas what other reg keys could need to be modified.
Thanks,
James

We also deployed 8.12 to over 1000 users with the "Disable PDF in browser" option checked using the customization wizard. Now we're finding some users need it to view certain PDFs in a web-based application.
We would like to add the option, but removing the registry key doesn't actually install the option when you check it. It seems you might have to create a new mst then redeploy. We'd really like to not have to do that, if at all possible.
In the Reader archives, one guy suggested running this:
msiexec /i Adobe_Reader_8.1_MUI.msi ADDLOCAL=ReaderBrowserIntegration
I haven't tried that yet. Any feedback or other suggestions?

Firefox upgrade once downloaded displays a blank browser window...how can I fix?

Are you using the Firefox 33.0.1 version?
*Help > About
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Nothing displayed in Repository Browser window of DTR perspective

Hi
I got following error message when I opened Repository Browser window of DTR perspective.
<i>There is no configuration found for com.tssap.dtr.client.eclipse.ui.treeBrowser.RepositoryView view. Empty TreeInput provider will be used.</i>
Then when I login to DTR server, there is no anything displayed in Repository Browser window.
Is there any body who can tell me what happened?
Thanks in advance!
Li, Hongyuan.

I ran into this problem before, but I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact cause of it.
What I did was to check in all my activities in that given client and remove all DTR projects from the client.
Then I removed the .dtc and .dtr folders in the user's documents and settings folder. This basically resets the DTR. Restarted Netweaver Dev Studio and the problem was gone.

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)

Basic Search portlet returns error when Display in New Browser Window set

Ora AS Portal 10G release 2 (10.1.2.x)
Have a region of type Portlets.
The enable users to include content in this region is enabled.
I added a Basic Search Portlet in this region.
Basic search works fine if launched from current area, however if change attributes of region to have a link that displays item in new browzer window, then
basic search portlet opens in new browzer window but returns error "Error: You do not have permission to perform this operation. (WWC-44131)"
The Basic search portlet in the new window contains a link to advanced search. If use advanced search, results are returned.
to test further, I added a advanced search portlet to this region, also with the display option to display item in a new window. In this case, the same error is obtained when doing a search.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any solutions?
Thks in advance.

Hi,
Can you clarify what you mean by "change attributes of region to have a link that displays item in new browzer window"?
Are you referring to Edit Region > Attributes tab ? Which of the Available Attributes did you select?
Thanks,

Controlling Browser Window Options

Hi,
I have published swf files from Captivate and uploaded them
on a server, then published the links to the files as URL's for
customer to view the movies in a browser. These links are either
provided as a clickable link or button in a web page or as a
clickable bookmark.
I want to edit the HTM file generated by Captivate to control
how the browser opens.
In one case I want to change the HTM to open matching the
movie size and without any toolbars, menu bar etc. In the other
case I want the browser to open in a separate window sized to the
movie and without toolbars etc.
I have tried inserting the following JAVA Script:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

</SCRIPT>
Which only resizes the window in IE does nothing in Firefox.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Claire

no back button? you mean there's no browser?

External displays - browser window position when disconnected display

I'm using a laptop, connecting one or two external displays, - one using the HDMI port, second using an USB "dock station" (Toshiba standalone). Second screen normally to the right, third screen (usb) above the laptop screen.
Often when I have disconnected the USB external display, my Firefox browser window are still "on the third display" - position as if this display was still active.
Even if I quit Firefox and restarts ( or even restarts windows ) the same position window is retained. The only way to fix it (when the USB connected display is not available), is to change the window position of the second (HDMI) display to cover the area of the USB one, then move Firefox window to my main laptop display, and then reposition the second screen back to the normal.
Normally, I expect applications to automatically reposition the windows to the available display(s) under the conditions that an extra display is removed. However, this seems not to happen with Firefox. It's inconvinient, but possible to fix with the second screen available, but I'm lost when I am not able to connect an external display ...
Is there any solution to this? Is it possible to change (reset) window positions directly in RegEdit ??

Dear varkgirl:
Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in a browser window. Is there a later version or other method ?

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in Acrobat and the pdf display within the browser window, as within our Online artwork Approval system we use the Acrobat Annotations server to annotate pdfs and publish to the server
But we can no longer get this plugin to work! Is there a later version ? or is there another way of forcing the pdf to open in a Acrobat Reader application (not the Mac viewer) within the browser and not open another window to display the pdf in Acrobat?

The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.

In coded ui how do you correctly retrieve a browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader in browser

I'am running across this issue when I'm debugging or running my coded UI automation project, where i get the exception labeled "{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException}"
everytime i come from a browser window that contains a pdf reader embedded in it. This happens every time I retrieve the window and try to click back. It barfs when i perform the back method on it. I've tried different things but none has worked including
the playback wait.
var hereIsmypdf = ReturnPDFDoc();
public BrowserWindow ReturnPDFDoc()
Playback.Wait(1000);
var myPdFdoc = GlobalVariables.Browser;
return myPdFdoc;
hereIsmypdf.Back();
skinny_Will

Hi skinny_Will,
<<"{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException
According this exception error message, I did some research about it. I know that this exception error is occurred in
COM object which was disposed if you are using the COM objects in a same static class or variables which ware shared between tests.
So please you refer the following blog to use ExecutionThread element to instruct the test to use the MTA threading model. This way, the static instance of "store" can be shared across tests.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martijnh/archive/2009/12/31/unit-testing-com-object-that-has-been-separated-from-its-underlying-rcw-cannot-be-used.aspx
Note: if you are using the VS2013 to create the coded UI test, you will need to add a test setting file to add this
ExecutionThread.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256991.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
In addition, ad you said that when you playback the browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader and then it could not work.
I suggest you could try to add more searchproperties to find this target control and then check this issue.
I find a similar thread about your issue, please refer the Steve's code to check your issue.

Adobe Reader in browser window disappearing-need help

I have created a word document (WD1) containing links to other word documents (WD2, WD3, etc). I then turned WD1 into a .pdf file. I then upload this .pdf file to a web page. I go to this webpage and click the link to open the WD1.pdf file. When I click the WD1.pdf link on the webpage, a new browser window opens with Adobe reader in it displaying WD1.pdf. so far so good. Now when I click on the links to WD2 or WD3, these links open in Word and the correct files display, but the browser window containing WD1.pdf file disappears (thats the best way to describe it) and the first webpage is still open.
What I am trying to achieve is to have the second browser window stay open so the trainees using this web page will be able to click on the other references on the .pdf to get to all of the links without having to re-open it each time.
I have Researched in help and web forums, the only reference I can find is to uncheck the box next to Open cross-documents in the same window in preferences in Adobe. Which I have done and restarted my computer. I also noticed a preference show each document in its own window which is checked.
Here is the other rub, I have a desktop computer (OS is XP) and a laptop (OS is vista). I have Adobe 8.1.2 installed on both. The laptop with vista works the way I would like. But the desktop computer with XP does not. I did have Adobe 7.0.9 on the desktop but when it did do what I wanted I upgraded to 8.1.2 and it still isnt working. The real problem is that most of the trainees will be using their work computers with XP. I dont know even know if there is any significance in this observation or not. But thought I would throw it out there.
Does anyone have any suggestions of things I could try or know of any solutions? Please help.

There is a technology on Labs called BrowserLab that is designed to assist with browser compatibility. Is this question regarding BrowserLab or is the question more general?

Toolbar not displaying in Internet Explorer window

I have several machines running Adobe Reader 9 which do not display the toolbar when displaying PDF documents in a browser. These machines upgraded last week from an older version where the toolbar displayed. Any ideas how to get the toolbar to display in the browser window?

That's a nice page. Too bad it's built with such antique methods.
Anyhow, I'd make the following changes:
1. Move "</head>" so that it's below the embedded styles and just above "<body>" where it should be.
2. Move the Google Analytics code so that it's below "</body>".
That should get you going in IE.
And by the way, you would definitely want to add an appropriate doctype to the page.

Generate new browser window on using include directive/action tag in curren

Hi Life line
if i used jsp include directive/action taag inside my current jsp code it open new browser window but if i
not use that include directive or action tag in my jsp source it properly display next jsp in
same browser window
how i can rid of this .i am confuse why it happens
thanks
Vivek Harnal

1) on clicking view button it submit other page by
script function()
2) it work fine & display in same browser window if i
am not incliudes jsp page after body tag .Your included JSP has a head and body of its own. If the including page has a head and body of its own, then the two will clash. Generally, it is best to make includes be fragments, ie, have no
<html> <head> </head> <body> </body> </html> tags.
3) included jsp use for standard menu based Header
source of included page is
<script type="text/javascript"
src="menu_array.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="mmenu.js"></script>
<html>
<script language=javascript>
function show()
// Master array in Menu_Array.js contains sub menu
options available to super administrator
// show the menu
{ popup("master")
function show1(){
popup("requisition")

popup("purchase")

How do I set Firefox to automatically view text files in my browser window? Sometimes FF insists on downloading them instead.

I use my browser to monitor real time data streams (oceanography) and want to be able to view processing log files directly in my browser window. I have symbolic links from these logs (*.log) to my web server's document directory, using .txt as a file extension for the link (e.g. procdir/argos.m.log -> webdocs/argos_m_log.txt).
Some of these files will display in the browser window, but sometimes FF insists on downloading them instead. The only difference I can see betweens ones that work and those that don't (looking at the original log files) is that the "file" command shows some to be 'ASCII English text' and some (the ones that won't display) to be 'data'. I assume this means there's one or more unprintable characters in the source file - but I'd still like to view these directly in my browser window.

Prefix the link with the view-source: protocol (don't put a space between the protocol and the http link).

How can we popup "Operating System Browse Window " in OAF?

Hi...
I have "Import" button on page.
I want to display "Operating System Browse Window:" when user hits import
button.
This Browse window will navigate user to choose a file.

Hi,
You can use the component messageFileUpload for that. You can find some instructions on using it in the OAF Developer's Guide, Chapter 4: Implementing Specific UI Features, on the section "File Upload / Download". When you put a messageFileUpload on the page, it automatically renders the button to call Browse Window.
Thanks!
Thiago
