Enable annotations for PDF opened in browser, I am able to add annotation in the Reader XI application

I have a document which is stored on the server. A link is emailed to several users and when they open the file it opens in the browser. It shows the Annotations menu but all the options are disabled. When the file is opened on the Adobe Reader XI application it does allow to use the annotations.
I am using Windows 7 and IE 10.

Somethings you need to do in the Reader application not the plug-in.

  • Acrobat print window crashed when try to a print the PDF opened through browser

    Hi,
    I have Acobat pro and reader installed on my machine.
    I have set the properties - Open pdf in browser. So, all the PDFs are opening in browser uses Acrobat not the reader.
    And this is way I want. It was woking fine on Windows XP.
    After Windows 7 upgrade, Print option on acrobat (pdf opened in browser), makes browser crashed. Printing window (pop up) appears but looks it is hanged. No OK, cancel buttons appears.
    If I uncheck the acrobat properties - Open pdf in browser, then it works fine. But my other applications which need acrobat in the browser start crashing.
    Is there any property/setting which is restricting print dialog box/ making browser not to respond?
    Please advise.

    Yes, I updated Acrobat through update option last week.
    Acrobat 9.5.2
    Windows 7 64 bit OS
    Adobe Reader XI
    Browser IE 10
    In print window couple of fields which get drop down automatically have blank values.
    Please let me know if you need more information. 
    Arcobat shows proper print window (pop up) if I uncheck the checkbox - Open pdf in browser. And then I open pdf in acrobat and try to print it.

  • Cache problem for servlet opening new browser window

    Requirement:
    I have JSP page say summary.jsp with link "print account summary"
    When user clicks on this link, new browser open with PDF document of summary.jsp
    This new browser window should not have address bar and toolbar.
    Solution:
    Servlet called PrintSummary which sets contenttype=application/pdf and sends the data to outputstream.
    href of link is
    Java script function is:
    function openWindow(url){
    window.open(url,'blank','toolbar=no')
    Problem:
    Since the URL of this new window is
    http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary
    Even if I click the "Print summary" link for account2,
    being the same URL (http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary) it accesses the existing page in the cache which is created for account 1.
    In href if I just use servlet url as
    I get the expected behaviour but then I don't have control on browser appearance and browser window will be with address bar and toolbar.
    The only option I could think of was changing URL as follows:
    <% String url ="javascript:openWindow('PrintSummary? var1="+ Math.random()+"')";
    So that URL is different all the time
    Is there any way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
    flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
    window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
    page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
    to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
    use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
    or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
    Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
    a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
    configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
    constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
    for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
    should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
    popup.

  • Browser enabled InfoPath form not opening in browser from a link in a Task list

    I have a browser enabled InfoPath deployed to SharePoint as a template in a Forms Library. The form opens in the browser when a user navigates to the Form library and clicks New.
    There is an Approval workflow associated with this form which kicks in whenever a new Form is submitted. The workflow creates a task in a task list. The task list shows a Link column which provides the link to open the form. Now, when a user clicks on the
    link (in the Task list), the form always open in InfoPath instead of opening in a browser.
    I see that the URL for the form (http://<Server>/Training/Enrollment%20Forms/<FormName>.xml)  is same in both the Forms Library and Task list link.
    What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to make the form open in browser from the Task list link.
    Thanks

    This question is asked constantly - we just discussed this last week, I believe - so you can probably find a lot more discussion to help you out if yous earch within this form or browse through the topics.  The reason for your issue is because of
    what you just wrote - the URL is directly to the XML file, so it tries to invoke InfoPath.  Browser forms are rendered by Forms Services, which has a much different URL.  Go click on one of your existing forms, and notice how different the URL is. 
    To get forms to open in the browser when invoked from a different location, you must use this full Forms Services URL.  Built-in workflows only generate a link to the XML file, and since the task in a different list than the form, then it has no idea
    how to open the form in the browser.  Only users who don't have InfoPath installed will see it in the browser automatically.  This is why I generate my own URLs dynamically with custom workflows and don't use OOTB workflows.SharePoint Architect || Microsoft MVP ||

  • Is a Windows registry error responsible for Firefox opening two browser windows whenever I use a hyperlink from a Word file?

    Whenever I use a hyperlink from an MS Word document, Firefox opens two windows instead of one. The first window is the one I need. The second contains a message that the page could not be found and the address bar contains the URL appended with "Firefoxhtml/shell/open/command".
    This problem is similar but NOT identical to one in MozillaZine headed "Windows error opening internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox". But none of the solutions in that article work for my problem: I've disabled all extensions but that hasn't helped. I've tried editing file types so that the DDE is removed (I'm not a teccie so have no idea what that means), but after following the instructions to the letter it doesn't seem to remove the DDE. Also I read that removing the DDE is not a good idea for people like me who need to open numerous firefox browser windows at one time. Furthermore, the MozzilaZine article refers only to problems opening a URL link in a MS Outlook email when Firefox is NOT running. My problem concerns the opening of URL links in MS Word when Firefox IS running!
    I've run countless different virus programmes, rootkit checkers etc but they all come up blank. However, I did come across guidance on this website: http://antivirus.about.com/od/windowsbasics/a/shellopen.htm which suggests that something may have altered the shell open command for two registry keys used by Firefox.
    # HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command
    # HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htfile\shell\open\command
    The default value for each of these should be "%1" %*. But on my user, the default value reads:
    (for htafile) c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe "%1"%*
    (for htfile) c:\programfiles\windowsNT\hypertrm.exe"%1
    What should the value be for these two files?
    Can anyone sort this for me please? Bear in mind I'm not a teccie!

  • Controlling zoom size on pdf opened in browser from webserver

    I want my PDF to open at a certain zoom size when someone clicks a link to it in their browser (the link is on my site, as is the PDF). I have tried the Properties > Initial View > Magnification, and also tagging #view=fit onto the end of the pdf URL, but neither is working.

    It will only work if the file is opened in a browser window using the Adobe plugin. If other plugins are used then all bets are off.

  • Installed Safari update 6.1.1 for Lion today. Browser now running very slow and keep getting the "spinning pizza".

    I installed the Safari update 6.1.1 today for Lion. Now my browser running very slow, keeps locking up & getting the "spinning wheel". It stops spinning eventually, but recurs constantly when I try to navigate elsewhere, including within this site. Screen also jumpy/almost flickering. No other browsers installed on machine, only extension used is AdBlock. Tried to search for others with this issue, but not finding it posted and machine locking up is making it difficult. Any help much appreciated!

    Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Just check the box beside “Remove all website data”.
    Click "Reset".

  • Stop PDF Opening in Browser

    We would like for our users to have pdf's the open from the web open in Acrobat 11 instead of opening in their browser (IE 11). I found this article, Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI, and tested the configuration and it seemed to work so I pushed the setting out with group policy. The setting is working for some users, but for others, pdf's continue to open in the browser. When I check the users computer, the setting has taken effect and the add on shows it is disabled. This is causing a lot of wasted time for users as they have to save the pdf, then open it to drag pages into their master document. Why would some computers ignore this setting?

    There is a setting in the Acrobat preferences related to this that might be part of the problem. It may also vary with browser. Some browsers have their own PDF viewer. So info on the OS, browser, and version of Acrobat are all useful in troubleshooting such problems.

  • When interactive pdf opens in browser window can the pdf links open in separate windows

    Problem is the pdf works ok when it opens in the browser window, BUT the links in the pdf don't open in separate browser windows, as they do when the pdf is downloaded as a file.
    If pdf links can only open in separate browser window when the pdf itself opens as a separate file, the how do I email a pdf download link on a website.

    Hello Yesh,
    you can open PDFs as a guest user (without authentification):
    1. Allow Guest Access (Admin -> Security Configuration -> Check "Allow Guest Access" and select a folder name).
    2. Copy your Report into this guest folder
    3. You can open the Report as PDF with a link like this:
    http://(bip-server-name):9704/xmlpserver/(guest-folder-name)/(report-name)/(report-name).xdo?_xpt=0&_xf=pdf&_xmode=4(&report-parameters)
    Just replace the strings in brackets. You find a great description of the URL parameters in Tim Dexters Blog
    http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/07/accessing_xmlp_enterprise_repo.html
    I didn't find an option to set the height of the PDF-Output for the guest user in the BIP-UI. Maybe I missed something. But you can manually edit the configuration file. It is located on your BIP server direcory in the subdirectory xmlp/XMLP/Users. Select the guest users subdirectory and edit the configuration file "user~.profile".
    In this XML config file there is an entry "viewerHeight". In the Value-Tag you can enter the PDF output windows height in pixel (but unfortunaly not in % - this was the question of my original posting).
    Hope that helps...

  • 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.

  • InDesign Button Action for PDF – Open File (in new window)

    I am using the 'Open File' action on buttons in a document i am making which will eventually be a PDF, but am wanting to specify the button action to open the file (another PDF) in a new window.
    I have found that I can achieve this and add button actions with this specific behavior in Acrobat, but it seems to be missing in indesign's abilities as far as I can see. Is there a way to do this in indesign so that i do not have to tinker in acrobat after I have made my PDF. As if I have changes to the PDF, all buttons then have to be totally re-done each time, and i will have possibly 900 buttons!!
    Thanks.
    (Using indesign CS4)

    Jeff,
    You are correct. I want to have a DVD with multiple PDFs. The main one almost acting as a table of contents for the rest.
    Problem = the 'main one' is 62 pages long, many hundred buttons and every page has at least a few of these links needed.
    Which means, if you are correct (and I believe you are, hope you aren't) that I need to custom code these buttons in Acrobat.
    The method is easy, but x300 = painful. And then the kicker... Boss says, 'Change slide 30' ... which means: Back to InDesign, Export to PDF, Recode ALL BUTTONS.
    *Note, there are some 'interactive' buttons with roll over states. So I don't think replacing the pages would work.

  • Enabling Comments for PDF and Acrobat Reader

    Hello,
    We work with remote reviewers and oftentimes we have to enable our PDFs for commenting, since they only have Acrobat Reader. We then get the files back from our remote reviewers, review their suggestions, and then send them the PDFs back. The only main issue is that we HAVE to enable the PDFs for commenting EVERY time. Is there a better way?
    Thanks,

  • PDF opens in browser and not default application

    When i click on a pdf file in a document library, it opens in the same web page instead of Adobe reader. I've set the feature of open documents in default application but in vain.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi,
    From your description, I know you want to open SharePoint 2013 PDF files with default application.
    You could re-install your Adobe Reader, and then test this issue. Also, you can have test in another computer with Adobe Reader.
    If this issue is still exist, please refer to this article:

  • Forms for pdf opening with sign

    I will need my clients to sign forms from my website http://www.sandiegoelitefitness.com . Can I use any version of adobe reader or does it always have to be the latest version to work or is better just to email forms. thanks j

    Not any version of Reader, but I think at least X or XI.
    Emailing documents always allows for the possibility that the attachments may get damaged or even lost during transmission.
