Downloadable .pdf in Muse

Hi there,
I have a link on my website to download a .pdf. Everytime it is clicked however, it opens it up in a window where one can download it from there. I do not want this window to open, I would rather the .pdf download automatically as the .pdf is interactive. Is there any way to force download rather than opening it in a new window.
I have used the hyperlinks function in muse and linked a file. I also do not have "Open a new window selected".
Thanks,
Jonathan

Every browser is set up differently.  If a visitor has their browser set to open pdf files in the browser then that is what will happen no matter what, vice versa if they have it set to download then it will only ever download.  So unfortunately (as far as I know) there is no way to force a visitors browser to only download a pdf.  If it is a .zip file then it will be forced to download.  There is a mention of this problem but I do not know how it would be implemented in muse  embed - How to force PDF files to open in browser? - Stack Overflow

  • How do I create a link for a downloadable .pdf in Muse?

    I have been trying without success to set up a link that would allow users to click and download a .pdf.  Can someone please suggest a way to do this?

  • Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox.

    Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox. Am I doing something wrong? Seems to work okay in Safari. This is for a Muse site uploaded to an FTP site.

    PDFs are not web files.  Technically they're media files that require helper applications.  As such, your end users need the latest Acrobat reader & plug-ins installed for their browsers.  If either of these are not installed, the PDF links won't "do" anything when clicked. Similarly, some people set their preferences to download & launch PDF files in Acrobat Pro instead of their browser. 
    Since there's no way to tell which software & settings your end users have, you should follow the customary procedure of creating a small thumbnail image of the PDF to give users a visual clue of what the file contains along with a direct link to the PDF & instructions on how to right click to save the file to their hard drive.

  • Question: Trouble linking PDF in Muse

    Hi. I purchased a Adobe Creative Cloud subscription for Christmas and have since been learning how to use Muse. Today, I was working on a website for a client that includes a downloadable PDF of the clients brochure. Everything works fine except that when you click the PDF link it opens the clients primary website, http://www.ipgauto.com, instead of downloading the PDF. I have carefully checked to make sure I followed the instructions in the tutorial, but to no avail. Also, I am having the same trouble with one of the text hyperlinks. I linked it to ipgrewards.com but when I click on it it opens ipgauto.com. I have broken and reapplied the link several times, but with no different result. My webBasics temporary URL is http://ipgtemp03.businesscatalyst.com/index.html. Any suggestions?

    You have different links assigned for clicking on the text and for clicking on the graphic.  Clicking on the text opens a PDF. Clicking on the graphic opens a web page/
    Just a comment. Ya may want to move the graphic and text to the right a bit.

  • Wie muss das PDF in Muse eingebettet werden, dass es zwingend im Reader aufgemacht werden kann?

    Wie muss das PDF in Muse eingebettet werden, dass es zwingend im Acrobat Reader aufgemacht werden kann?
    Bei normaler einbettungsweise, in Muse, machen die Browser was sie wollen. Sie betten das PDF im Browser ein oder legen es im Downloadordner ab.
    Ich will aber zwingend bei allen Browsern, dass das PDF Downgeloadet wird, weil sonst der Formular Butten -> @Send nicht funktioniert!
    Weiss jemand eine Lösung?
    Mit liebem Gruss
    Beat

    Und es geht doch... Danke vorerst für deine Antwort.
    Unter dieser URL Welcome to the Frontpage wird das PDF direkt in den Download Ordner gesendet... Was ich ja eigentlich will. Dann kann der User immer noch entscheiden mit welchem Programm er das PDF öffnen will.
    Wenn das PDF aber im Browser geöfnet wird, funktioniert der Sendbutton meines Online-Formulars (Mail) nicht mehr und das kanns ja nicht sein.
    Beat
    Ps: das mit den sinnvollen Erklärungen... habe die Erfahrung gemacht, das dies meistens nicht funktionier. Es muss mit einem Klick gehen sonst hab ich den Kunden verloren.

  • Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad?

    Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad? They only stay in the Acrobat.com section and when I try to move them the "documents" partion is not listed as an option. Only the folders i have within acrobat.com are listed

    The pdfs have been uploaded to Acrobat .com (from my computer) I open the Adobe reader on my ipad and see them in the acrobat partition of the reader. I tap on them and they open.  To test whether they were truly downloaded ,I turn off wifi and they still open. I consider this "downloaded" BUT... they stay in the acrobat.com partition of the reader. Nothing ever goes or lives in the "Documents" partition..nor can I move anything there.....Why not? What is the"documents" partition there for if nothing lives or can be moved there?

  • How to edit a downloaded .pdf file?

    Hi! Have a downloaded .pdf file, (application for employment form) My options are to print out/fill out. I want to know if there is a way that I can edit the application so that I can fill it out on line (Neater) then print. Between a 2004 version of Word, plus Keynote, Pages and Adobe 8, I can't edit the application. I called Apple and they said there is no way that I edit a pdf file so that I can complete the application on line. There must be a way to do this, right? Thanks, Bill

    Yes, there is a way. First, if check the security on the pdf. Adobe has many levels of security, so that files can be printed but not edited and not made into smaller files, etc.
    Usually you would need the real Adobe app, not the reader. But then, even though Adobe can edit pdf files, it will not do so if the file is protected. You normally would be asked for a password when you attempt to modify a PW-protected pdf document.
    That all being said, if the document is protected I can only refer you to ghostscript, ghostview and GSView.

  • Mavericks 10.9.1. Freezes or trackpad becomes slow and unresponsive when viewing downloaded PDF files in Preview.Help!

    The earlier post was my first attempt at posting and had some typos. Repeated with typos corrected.
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013 with preinstalled Mavericks.I now have the 10.9.1 update. Almost from the time of purchase in Nov '13, I have been experiencing freezes and slow & unresponsive trackpad. I have more or less narrowed this symptom as happening when viewing downloaded PDF files. The only option is to force eject, if available or shut down. I spoke to Support as I thought it was a RAM issue and they told me that in Mavericks RAM showing almost full was normal as it uses RAM differently. They took me through some resets and cleaning up which has helped a little but freezing stll happens. This never happened with my Macbook AIr running Lion. Any suggestions?

    So a PDF file that you can view in Preview on your MBA causes your new MBP to lock up and/or slow down. Is this right? Also you say more or less narrowed down to PDFs with Preview but does the computer exhibit this behavior with other programs and if so under what conditions? And how much free hard drive space do you have?
    Viewing memory use in Mavericks is different than with previous versions of the OS. Today it looks like we need to pay attention to what Apple calls Memory Pressure which is gauged by the bar graph in Activity Monitor and to the Virtual Memory being used. When the memory pressure graph bar gets too high it turns red and that's bad news. Looking at how much memory is being used doesn't help - I have a 16GB computer and with almost nothing running it still shows something like 15.79GB used but the memory pressure graph is just a think green line. So unless you see the memory pressure bar turning red lets not worry about memory usage at the moment.
    If among the things AppleCare had you do was reinstall Mavericks then I recommend a trip to the Apple store - and take a problem PDF file with you to demonstrate.

  • Adobe Reader 9.0 has delay when downloading PDF file through proxy server

    There is an issue with the Adobe Reader (and Acrobat) 9.0 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control for Internet Explorer (6 or 7) on Windows computers with respect to proxy servers. Due to this issue, there is a 2 minute delay for any Internet Explorer web browser on the Deere network before any PDF file will open from the Internet within the IE web browser if In-Place activation (Display PDF in Browser) is enabled in Adobe Reader 9. This problem does not affect Adobe Reader 8.
    What we are seeing is that when someone on the Deere network clicks on a links to a PDF file in the Internet, the PDF file downloads immediately. But then, after the PDF file is downloaded, the Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control tries to talk directly to the Internet web site. The Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control does not know how to negotiate our proxy server. So after a minute or two, the Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control times out (gives up) and allows the IE browser to display the downloaded PDF file in the IE browser.
    We work around this issue by disabling In Place Activation for PDF files in IE (uncheck Display PDF in Browser). But we would like a fix for the PDF Link Helper ActiveX control.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
    "bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Originals]
    "bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
    Here's what our proxy people see when they do a trace of a PDF file download through their proxy server with IE 7 and Adobe Reader 9 with Display PDF in Browser checked.
    The browser tells the proxy to download the pdf, it does and sends it to the browser. Before the browser opens it something in Acrobat ( or I.E. ? ) tries to make a connection back to the content server that hosted the pdf. Unfortunately this agent does not ask the proxy to make the request for it, but rather asks local DNS to resolve the Internet server name. This request dies because our internal private network does not know anything about the Internet. Only the DNS used by the proxy can resolve Interent names. After two unsuccessful DNS queries into the private network, the agent tries to resolve the same Internet name with NBNS ( netbios name service) queries again into the private network, with the same results. These requests persists for more than two minutes ( over 200 unresolved queries ). Then for whatever reason the agent gives up and the already downloaded pdf file loads into the browser.
    I have a TCP capture file if you want it.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with some specific PDF files. For more than 90% it hangs when opening the file, but sometimes it works (with the same file).
    The workflows where it sometimes worked:
    a) Loading the PDF, the reader is started the first time and displays license dialog.
    b) The reader was already runing and file is loaded with Drag&Drop or File/Open in the Reader
    But most times it does not load.
    I could not find out which file is missing or trying to be opened. So I tried with the CP949.TXT.
    I found no CP949.TXT in Reader 8 installation, so I took it from the link, pasted into notepad and stored in the respective directory
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\TypeSupport\Unicode\Mappings\win\
    Now it seems to work fine, opening PDFs with double click from exporer.
    But why did Adobe Reader 8 not have the TypeSupport directory at all?
    Even when having found a fix (hack?), I think I did not understand the cause of this problem.

  • When I try to open a downloaded PDF file it opens for about 6 seconds and then closes - how can I fix that?

    I am using a Dell XPS8500 desktop with 64 bit Windows 7.
    No problem downloading PDF files but when I open them they disappear before I can print.

    Hello,
    Which application are you trying to open the PDF files in? Firefox or Adobe Reader? Or another?
    If adobe reader then please make sure that your copy is up to date. You can get the latest version here - http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox 19. Unless you have a particular reason to run an old version of Firefox is it much better to keep updated. The latest version is v22. New security fixes are applied in every new version of Firefox. Without them your PC is vulnerable. Please see this article: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

    You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

    How do you create a link to a pdf in Muse? Thought it was going to show that with Katie's menu and can't find in any of the tutorials.

    The steps would be :
    - Add files from file menu > select pdf > add to site
    - Select the content (rectangle,text etc) and click on hyperlink dropdown > it should show you the added files list
    - Select the file you want to link

  • Unable to download pdf file in windows 8.1

    After upgrading to windows 8.1, i have been unable to download pdf files sent via yahoo email, IE11 and Adobe Reader 11.  Did not have this problem before with windows 8.  I click on the pdf attachment, NOrton says that the file is safe but nothing happens.  Am unable to save the file to my computer either.  Have already reloaded Adobe Reader repeatedly, drivers for window 8.1 associated with the hardware on my system, newest version of internet explorer,, upgraded drivers for my Canon printer and still no downloads!!!
    Can anybody help?  Microsoft community unable to give anymore suggestions.

    Wrong forum (this is Digital Editions), but ...
    I find .pdf files often won't launch properly on my Win8.1.  It starts the process but it doesn't do the right thing.
    Try making sure you don't have any copies of Reader working (AcroRd32.exe on my 32 bit Win 8.1).
    Start a copy from the start screen (or start menu if you've set one up) BEFORE you try to access the file.
    Now try to do the download or open it from the downloads directory.
    I find that way the file will open properly.
