Downloading a PDF option

Hi.
I was wondering if it is possible to share a pdf file but not have the download button? I want to share a file but I don't want to allow the users to be able to download the file to their computer.
Thanks in advance for help.
Lesli

Hello Lesli,
Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent someone you've shared a file with from downloading that file; this is a security measure that we hope to implement in the future, but as yet have not been able to include in the service. I encourage you to stay tuned for future updates to the service, as we are planning some big changes over the coming months. Please let me know if you have any more questions and I will be happy to answer them.
Best,
Rebecca

Download to PDF option.

Is there a way to have the 'Download to PDF' option in Dashboards (similiar to Excel, Powerpoint, Data etc) ? Our users need this option where when you click download to pdf the 'open or save' window should pop up.
Thanks.

hi,
Tell me whether your own print to pdf script is working with narrative or not.
what i found is if we put some html tags inside narrative-prefix then theobiee provided print options won't work especially pdf printing.

Download a PDF option?

Might be a simple question not sure.
I know you can create hyperlinks to open a PDF in a separte webpage, but is there anyway in DPS that you can make a button and give the viewer an option to download a PDF?

You can... You'd have to post your PDF on a webserver and use that URL as you hyperlink. When the user taps the link it will open the PDF in the in-app browser which then the user needs to tap on the curved arrow so the PDF is open in Safari. From here the user can save the PDF to Reader, Drop Box. etc.
This app has what you are looking for.

Disable download a copy option for pdf files in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
We need to disable Download A Copy option of Document library for few users of our site.
We have provided them View Only rights which disables download for other files except PDF files.
Kindly suggest

Hi Nirikshita,
As the “Download A Copy” button was available when the users(View Only permission) clicked a PDF file, you can try to hide the “Download A Copy” option based on user permissions.
There are some links for your reference:

Downloaded free PDF Portfolio, no Create PDF Protfolio option from File Create

Downloaded free PDF Portfolio, instructions say to load via> File, Create, Create PDF Portfolio, there is no option for Create PDF Portfolio in my Acrobat XI

(Actually, I think this question is about Adobe Acrobat, not CreatePDF.)
Do you have Acrobat Standard? If so, I think it is a mistake that you were offered this, as portfolios are a feature of Acrobat Pro. At least, that's what I remember.

How to download a pdf file from the server from an strut application?

Hi,
I wan to download a pdf file from the server side to local system. Please help me how i use the down load option.

Read up on the Struts download action [1].
And next time, please post in the relevant forum, one of the web-tier ones [2].

How do you create a link to download a PDF file?

I'd like to create links so that when clicked, a PDF file associated with the link will automatically be downloaded. I've created a folder where I've stored all of the PDF files, but where on my web host do I put the folder--is it part of the published iWeb folder or should it be kept separate? (I'm using a 3rd party web host, Lunarpages.com)
Second, to create the links, I've written "Download Page" on for each link, highlighted the words, then enabled it as a hyperlink with the inspector. However, this changes "Download Page" to the name of the PDF file. How can I keep the words "Download Page" without changing it to the name of the file? Also, is this the correct way to have a PDF file automatically downloaded when "Download Page" is clicked?
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi there,
While I do not use iWeb, I do use PDF files on my website.
I first create a new folder to hold my PDF files and upload this to my website. When I create and upload PDF files I will upload to this folder. When someone wants to view this files, all they need to do is click on the link I created. After clicking on link, if the user is on a PC, Acrobat Reader is automatically used to view the file or if they are on a Mac, Preview is usually the default viewer (if the they are using Safari, it will simply open in Safari). Just having the extension on yourfile.pdf will cause this and you will not need to do anything else on your end.
FOR EXAMPLE: Download Sample PDF - try it on different browsers and PC's
As far as 'download page', it automatically starts as soon as you click on link. If you are talking about 'saving' the user will always have that option on their end...

PDF documents not opening in Mozilla at all, PDF option is not there under the options tab applications

Hi,
Firefox has automatically been "asking me" if I want to save the pdf document instead of showing them in the browser. I have update 22. I have tried to look for the pdf options under the options>applications settings and it doesn't even show up! Is this because I updated? I updated on July 4th and didn't need a pdf until now and this problem showed up. Before, I did not have this problem. PDFs were opening on the browser and I had that pdf option under the application's list.
So I don't know what to do since I don't even have that option on here. What should I do?

Hi thank you for taking the time to reply.
''"You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader"''
Yes, I have Adobe Reader installed and that's my preffered option. I have recently and manually uninstalled Adobe reader,Reinstalled it again, restarted my computer, and I am still having the same problem. I cannot see the option to preview the pdfs in firefox using adobe. It either uses the the Firefox pdf reader Zeon? or the other option is to Always ask me to download it to my desktop.
I have attached what I see, maybe you can help me based on that. It seems the plugins work well (Figure 2) but only the pdf plugin for adobe to be previewed in firefox is missing (Figure1).
Also, I attempted to re-initialize the plugin database but it still gives me the same option as always.
''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer." ''
No, if I set it to "true" then the pdf option under applications disappears. So I have kept it as false. (Figure 3 shows that it goes missing, not the same as in Figure 1)

Installing Acrobat 9 Pro has caused a failure to download any pdf from any website.

When I click on a pdf file, including any of the help files on the Adobe site, I get a view of the file for a fraction of a second and then it is replaced by a grey screen saying ' Acrobat Plugin Crashed' and offering me the option of sending a report. I have sent many reports, to no avail. For example, I looked up some train times, and got only the briefest tantalising glimpse of the pdf before it was replaced by the grey screen. The system was fine previously, when I had only Acrobat Reader. How can I put this right?

I have tried using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, and I have the same problem, which is still being flagged up as a problem with Acrobat Reader. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium version 6.1.
Pdf files that are sitting on my desktop load successfully in Acrobat Reader, or with the Acrobat Pro that I loaded recently, but their ikons do not appear with the Acrobat red and white symbol. The error message and rapid disappearance of the pdf file, sometimes after a brief showing, occurs whenever I try to download a pdf file from the web. The problem is very annoying and I never encountered it until I purchased and loaded Acrobat Pro. What can I do about this plugin problem? I have tried reinstalling Firefox and reinstalling Acrobat Pro from the disk, as you suggested.

After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)? I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kirk,
Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution. Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document).
When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do). Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want. The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
Any other suggestions, please?

Mass upload & Download of PDFs in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi All,
Is it possible to download multiple PDF's at one go ? for example if you have a Table UI control where each row has one clickable link that generates a PDF using WebDynpro ABAP Application, we want to enable multiselect property of Table UI and provide Mass Download Button control on click of which all selected rows should generate PDF and then get dowloaded to a specific location on machine (c:/). or if there is any other alternative possible ?similarly for Mass Upload we wish to multi select PDFs and upload them to R/3 at one go ?
please let me know if such thing is possible ? if yes is it a good option to have ? as we have users who have to upload these PDF one by one and they wish if they could simply select all PDFs at one go and click Mass upload..Note that there are some validation that we perform once we upload PDF before posting PDF data to backend.
your help & comments would be Highly Appreciated !!
Thanks
Asif

You simply use the CL_ABAP_ZIP class to combine the multiple binary strings of the word files together.
data izip type ref to cl_abap_zip.
data zip_xstring type xstring.
create object izip.
loop at ifiles assigning <Wa_file>.
izip->add( name = <wa_file>-filename
content = <wa_file>-filecontent ).
endloop.
zip_xstring = izip->save( ).

In Mac OSX, after I download a PDF, why do I now have to duplicate a PDF inorder to save it?

In OSX 10.7: When I download a PDF, open it, why do I have to duplicate it inorder to just save it? Seems redundant and a space waste.

Correct. Once downloaded any file is saved in the Downloads folder by default. But files can also be downloaded to a specific location via the browser's context menu for download links. Safari, for example, has a "Download Linked File As" option. Most browsers have a similar option.

Print: Compress PDF Option Help - Leopard

hello,
as a preface, we're a photography company that routinely saves PDF files with images to send to clients for approval.
i understand that with leopard, they removed the Compress PDF option from the print menu. i followed the instructions, opened it up with Preview and saved as reduced file size. the images all came out VERY grainy. with the Compress PDF option, the image quality was great.
so i went and restored Compress PDF using this link: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html
however the images still come out as grainy as they did with the "reduce file size" option. anyone have any advice on how to get it working like it did in the previous OS?
thanks much

I had more or less the same issur.
Try this tip I posted :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1330879&tstart=0
Hope this helps,
Jerome.

How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved. What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader. When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista. It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
Take care :-)
