Display PDF in Web Browser Setting

Good Morning,
We recently encountered some issues with Adobe 9.0.0 on Citrix servers. We updated to Version 9.3.4, since we had not fully tested Reader X yet.
The issue is that we have an application that calls to Adobe and opens PDF files within the application. When I log on to the citrix server locally, the setting Display in PDF Browser is selected. My account is an admin of our domain. When I log in to the server with a standard account, the setting is not selected.
I found the bBrowsing Integration key in HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobate Reader\9.0\Originals and when I am logged in with admin account it is set to 1, when I login with the non-admin account it is set to 0.
The same key also appears in HKEY_Users\.Default\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals. My question is this, can I set this globally on my Citrix servers so that the Display PDF is Browser is selected. when users login to Citrix Presentation Server, launch the applications that call to Adobe, that the pdf open in a web browsers of the applications. Currently, if you hit the link the PDF file will open in its own window.
Sorry if this is a bit wordy, but I figure it is best to give too much info as opposed to not enough.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Yes the pdf is opening in adobe. But I don't want to open a new adobe browser to open.
I want to display in the current web browser where my application is running.
eg. if u are embedding pdf file like this.
<EMBED src="temp1.pdf" width ="750" height="550"></EMBED>
It won't open the new window. It displays the result in the current window.
I have my pdf content in byte array. To wirte the above code i need a file. I even writes the byte array to a temporary pdf file. But I can't able to import that file dynamically to the WSAD workspace.
Is there any other way to embed the (byte array)pdf file in the current window.
Please advice me.
Thanks in advance.

I have set the CustWiz/MST to 'Disable and Lock' the ability to display PDFs in the browser. We want them to open separately in Acrobat. After I deploy, the setting IS disabled and locked, but when you click a PDF in the browser, it STILL opens in the browser, and not in Acrobat.
I am pushing Acrobat onto machines that already have Acrobat Standard 9 installed with the same settings. It worked properly then.
What is causing this setting to be ignored? How can I fix it? It's delaying my deployment.
I have to deploy Acrobat 9 due to the bug I discovered here:

This is getting a little irritating...

Thank you for the answer about updating the Foxit plugin. Firefox tags the Foxit plugin as potentially unstable, so it turns out I had another program killing the plugin's startup process so it was always disabled in firefox. I reenabled its startup process and updated the plugin. To get firefox to use it as the main pdf reader I went to options>applications and changed the option for pdf to the foxit plugin and everything works dandy now! Thanks again!

Opening PDF in Web Browser(IE)

Hi,
I have written a program to download PDF file. When user will click on "Download" link, PDF file should open in web browser IE itself. Currently file is opening in separate window. I am creating this PDF file run time and it is not stored in harddisk. In Acrobar Reader, I have checked the check box "Display PDF in browser". Despite this it is opening in separate window.
I have written following code:
byte abyte0[] = pdfGenerator.generatePDF(getXslFile(instancedata), new String(instancedata.requestResult.message, "UTF-8"));
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + instancedata.userId + "_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".pdf");
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
String s = new String(abyte0, "UTF-8");
servletoutputstream = httpservletresponse.getOutputStream();
servletoutputstream.write(abyte0, 0, abyte0.length);
servletoutputstream.flush();
Kindly suggest what is required to open PDF in Web browser (IE).
Regards,
Dev

I don't see anything wrong here offhand.
In your download link, you aren't using target="new" or anything, are you?

Use byte array of PDF to display PDF in IE browser

I get byte array of PDF as input argument. I need to use byte array to display PDF in IE browser. I am writing code in doGet method of Servlet to accomplish this. However, PDF never gets displayed. I see Acrobat starting, but original PDF never gets displayed in browser.
I am using code below in doGet of Servlet:
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setHeader("Expires", "0");
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
resp.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy
server
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=stuff.pdf");
byte[] inBytes = getBytesOfPDF(...);
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
if(inBytes !=null){
outStream.write(inBytes);
outStream.flush();
I added dummy name of PDF (stuff.pdf) for display, as I heard IE requires a file name with .pdf extension for display.
But I had no luck with the code above.
Any help with code will be appreciated.

Hi
Am using the same code and i am able to get the PDF out.
          /* Finally writing it into a PDF */
               response.setContentType("application/pdf");
               /* filename could be any thing */
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
                         "attachment; filename=Report.pdf");
               response.setContentLength(content.length);
               response.getOutputStream().write(content);
               response.getOutputStream().flush();

Display PDF on the browser from BLOB column

Hi All,
I have BLOB column in the table where we are storing PDFs.
I want to display PDF within the browser ( not as a download option) from that BLOB column, like clicking on the "Print" link.
Please let me know if anyone has any suggestion.
-Smith

Create this DB procedure:
procedure show_webdoc(io_blob    in out nocopy blob
                     ,i_mimetype in varchar2
                     ,i_filename in varchar2)
is
begin
   if dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob) >0 then
      owa_util.mime_header(nvl(i_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
      htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob));
      htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'||i_filename|| '"');
      owa_util.http_header_close;
      wpg_docload.download_file(io_blob);
   end if;
end;Get the blob and give it as input to this procedure. For a pdf the mime type will be application/pdf.

Cannot View PDF in Web Browser error

Using windows XP sp3 has adobe reader 9 on it...
Installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended was trouble prone enough, but now there is more...
When trying to open a PDF in a browser window, you get the following dialog error message (sample site:http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone)
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
For the cost of this program, I expected better. The above was not a problem before installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended.
Please advise.
Thanks
bob

I did a google search and found a fix that was a bunch of registry entries that worked for me:
Ted Neubauer, "Reader 9 won't open PDF from web browser" #15, 15 Jul 2008 7:47 am
It is just anoying to spend this kind of money on a piece of software and have so many problems out of the box.
Yes, I have run the updater software.
What is the phone number for adobe support?
Thanks

Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser error

I have a new computer and have Acrobat Pro installed. When I try to click on PDF links in browsers, I get an error:
Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser.
I want to be able to open these links using Acrobat Pro. What can I do in Internet Explorer so I don't always receive these errors, and so pdfs automatically open using Acrobat Pro?
Steve

Because it was not designed for Windows 7 doesn't mean it cant run.
If you install the applications as administrator, you shouldn't have problems. I have installed both Reader and Pro versions on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit without problems, as long as I did it as administrator. You right click on the setup and select Run as Administrator. You don't need to do it for updates if you go through the update option on the help panel.

OpenGL in C++ displayed on a web browser using java??

I have a OpenGL application written in CPP that I would like to display on a web browser.
I was wondering if their is a way to do this using java. Maybe somekind of java wrap.
Thank you

Maybe some kind of ActiveX control perhaps ?
Not too familar with ActiveX programming though...

Title of a Crystal Report PDF being displayed in a web browser

I have an application that previews a report in a web browser by saving the report to the web server and then opening a new tab/window pointing at the pdf that was just created. Right now it is displaying the server name(and path to the report on the server I believe) in the title bar instead of the report title. Is it possibel to set the report title somewhere in the code so the user sees whatever I want to show them instead of anythign to do with the server?
Thanks,
- Mike

Hi Mike,
This will get the name of the report and all of it's parts and add the .pdf to the file name:
string MyRptName = rpt.FileName.ToString();
MyRptName = MyRptName.Substring(MyRptName.LastIndexOf(@"\") + 1, (rpt.FileName.Length - 3) - (MyRptName.LastIndexOf(@"\") + 1)) + "pdf";

When displaying images in web browser, next images appears on page where I left last doc

Hello, I am in need of some help here.
I have an application that displays PDF images using Adobe Reader X v 10.1.4 through a web browser. What is happening is I view a document and scroll down to say page 2.
When I leave that document and go the next one, that document opens on page 2.
Is there anything I can do in the setting of Adobe or the way that I am making my call to show the image through the web browser to display the next image at the top of the page, rather than displaying it where I left off on the last document?
I have tried unchecking the option for Restore last view settings when reopening a document and also open cross-document links in the same window. Both of these had no effect on the issue I am encountering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Scott

I am not sure how to fix the problem using the FGL framework, but here is a way to get the right result
In the CSS file under the @media only screen and (min-width: 769px) section, modify the following style rules
#menu {
    clear: both;
    float: left;
    margin-left: 0;
    width: 20%;
    display: block;
    vertical-align:top;
#content {
    clear: none;
    float: right;
    margin-right: 0%;
    width: 80%;
    display: block;
Having said that, you will do well to scrap FGL and have a look at Bootstrap

Signing a pdf in web browser

I am setting up a web application where a person can open a PDF in their browser and sign a signature field in a PDF form. Once they sign it they can click a submit button in the PDF form and it submits the form data via HTTP (not FDF or XFDF).
They can sign it, but when the form is submitted back to the web server the signature data is not part of the form data.
Is there any way to get the signature data in the form data that the PDF is sending?
Thanks!

Opening a specific page of a PDF through web browser not working with IE5.5

Hi,
I need an urgent help to reslove the problem below.
Using Netscape 4.7, When I am trying to open a specific page of
a PDF file through the web browser using the command below.
web.show_document('http://oraweb/abc.pdf#page=3','_self');
This opens the page 3 and then when I give subsequent calls to
this command with different page nunbers, it opens the related
pages correctly.
But when using IE 5.5, the page gets displayed correctly for
only the firt time. Any calls to the command does not change the
page at all.
Could anybody help me to resolve this problem ASAP?
Thanks
Preji

Hello,
I think this is a problem of IE5.5 with PDF-Files.
You can find more information at acrobat web site
(perhaps there is a patch)
There is a setting in the reader where you can say that
the reader should start in the web-browser. Turn it off -
when IE starts downloading a pdf-file you can choose
acrobat reader for the first time.

Problems displaying PDF files in browser - Help requested

The scenario is that I visit a website that has information available via a link that normally would open a PDF document in a browser window. The sort of document, that once open, if I clicked 'File-save as' in the browser would immediately save as a PDF file. In the current situation I click on the link and all I get that opens is a screen full of random characters from top to bottom. I have tried right click 'file save as' on the link that would open the PDF in the browser, but all it wants to save is a .PNG file, i.e. http://echa.europa.eu/echa-styled-theme/images/doc_lang/en.png - which is what I get from right click 'properties' on that link which should open the PDF in the brawser - normally I would see a .PDF file described. I therefore can't even download the file to open as a PDF direct from a stored location on my own PC - all it seems to see is the graphics format - this probably why when the browser goes to open the PDF file I get the random characters, i.e. the application is doing its best to translate what it does see. I would be grateful for some advice. Pertinant information follows:
1. It happens across more websites than just one example that I've quoted.
2. It happens on my desktop only - I don't have the problem on 4 other portable computers, including ones running the same O/S
3. Desktop is running Windows Home Pro, all updates executed, running the latest version of Acrobat reader with all updates executed - I tried yet another uninstall, reboot, new download, reinstall, reboot etc. yesterday. Desktop is HP Pavillion with 12GB RAM
4. I get the random character display when running IE9 on the desktop, I have also replicated the problem with other versions of IE installed instead. If I try using Chrome as a browser it goes away and tries and just fails to open the link entirely and reverts to the original page.
5. I've already checked online for similar problems and can confirm that all the Adobe plugins are installed per what seems standard advice I have also checked the internet settings in Adobe Acrobat preferences and all seems fine.
6. Thing like the browsers and Adobe arobat are running as per their standard set-ups with nothing else done to these.
7. Any other PDF files stored on the hard drive of the desktop open in Acrobat reader without problems
8. Acrobat reader version is 11.0.06.70
Any assistance to open the PDF files in the browser and get it working particularly with IE would be great, I am quite IT literate and can try most things. Many thanks

I have no idea how to edit the above message, but apparently it has been rejected. I cannot understand why, I am a regular contributor in many forums and have never suffered the indignity of having had a message rejected before. The message contains an excellent example of the problems I am having in the following link Vacancies
How on earth can I demonstrate the problems I am having without being to post an example - that example has both sorts of links on one page, ones I can open and ones I can't - if anyone with technical knowledge is trying to help me then that is just the sort of page that would be useful to help solve the problem. Rather than the link to the ECHA website in the above posting (which I note was approved). I struggle with your logic in accepting one message and rejecting the other. It is difficult enough as a user to describe a problem in words let alone have the best example of the problem rejected without explanation and no right of appeal on the email that I got telling me. Not happy here! All I am trying to do is to solve the problem I have

Adobe Reader won't display PDF in IE Browser Window

I am using Adobe Reader XI and Internet Explorer v. 11.0.9600.17280.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe. I've also checked IE Add-Ins and all Adobe Reader Add-Ins are enabled.
However, you're poorly written software STILL WILL NOT display PDFs in browser any more.
I need help, but since you're software is so horrible, you do not offer typical technical support.
PLEASE HELP!

My company is having the same problem and I was hoping for some kind of final explanation.
The fix of resetting the Internet Explorer settings works for a time, then it later it has the problem again. Our company has a reporting site which needs the documents to open in the browser to allow for drill down(generating another report based on a link in the document), so the reports have to be in the browser not a separate Adobe Reader Window. We have tried other fixes on the Web like the TabProcGrowth=1, but still the problem happens later.
Our users are tired of resetting their Internet Explorer settings every week or more. As this has worked in all previous versions, I would agree the issue probably lies in Internet Explorer or at least partly in Internet Explorer, but we need some way to keep the files opening in the browser rather than a separate Reader window. Any additional thoughts or fixes by anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Why does email hypertext in PDF open web browser window in addition to email client?

Using FrameMaker 10, I created the following hypertext: message URL mailto:[email protected] I then printed to PDF. When I click the link in the PDF it opens an email client message window (what I want) but also opens a web browser window with mailto:[email protected] in the address bar (what I don't want). Why would it open both? I don't know if this is a Frame issue (more likely), an Acrobat issue (less likely), or a browser issue (not likely). I hope I'm just missing something easy here.

Should have given the following info earlier...running Win 7 64-bit with Outlook 2010 and Acrobat X Pro. That being said the path to verify "mailto" is different but it is set up fine. Same with Acrobat X Pro...settings are fine.
Also, in reply to Harry28586 this is happening with Firefox, not IE (I should have mentioned that as well).
I've found plenty of threads searching online regarding issues with email links in Acrobat on Win 7 machines with Outlook...many suggest editing the registry. I have no problem doing that but this is a work laptop and we have a don't-fix-it-yourself policy. So I'll keep looking. Thanks for all the suggestions.
