FDF not opening in a browser

I'm having difficulty opening an fdf file in a browser. I've tried opening the file via a url like http://localhost/fdftest/xxx.fdf. I've tried opening the file by putting the file path in the address spot of IE and I've tried displaying the file using Response.BinaryWrite through an aspx page. In all cases, IE and FireFox will show an empty page and usually hang that page/tab. Sometimes it will show the Reader blue progress bar saying "Loading...." but not do anything. If I double click the fdf it will open in Reader without a problem.
I've tried different approaches for a couple of days now to no avail. I'd appreciate any help you guys could give.
Thanks,
Mickey

Kris,
Thank you for your response. I got tired of messing with it and decided to go another route.
Thank you,

Subject: FDF not opening in a browser
Were you able to open the fdf in an earlier version of the Reader?
I just tried opening an fdf file (http://192.168.0.100/test.fdf where F/ is http://192.168.0.100/test.pdf) from the browser using Reader X, and had no problem. You can also open a specific fdf file from the browser using #FDF. For example:
http://192.168.0.100/test.pdf#FDF=http://192.168.0.100/test.fdf
I have been using this for many years to prepopulate pdfs, but it only works with the Adobe Reader or Acrobat. It isn't supported by other PDF viewers, and it doesn't work with mixed versions of Acrobat and Reader. I fear that someday Adobe will remove this feature entirely for some security reason.
I'd be happy to send you the pdf and fdf files I used, or I can just email you the link to try it yourself.

PDFs do not open in the browser since IE11

Hi,
since the IE11 is installed the PDFs do not open in the browser with Adobe Reader, but directly in Adobe Reader.
The PDFs can be filled but not saved online because they are not open in IE.
If I disable the PlugIn in IE11 and activate again it works again indefinitely.
Can you help me?
PS: translated with Google Translate
Thanks

This, to me, sounds like it's working. Or perhaps a problem with the translation?

EML files are not opened in the browser

EML files opened from a SharePoint 2010 document libraries are not opened in the browser. Instead, a dialog box is opened and prompts to save the file.
Since there's no standard application that knows how to handle EML files, and since the EML format is built into SP (send emails to document libraries), I think this behavior is unacceptable.
EML files should be opened in the browser, similar to SP 2007.

Seems the solution is in the client side configuration.
If eml files (as all other file types) are not configured to open by default in Outlook 2007 (or Windows Live Mail), they will be prompted for download or open.
The registry change link I provided earlier did not work for me. I tried this:

solved my problem. Seems by default eml file set to MIME message/rfc822 and associated with windows live mail - SharePoint team hates Outlook team, right?
If you do not have such assoication, it opens in browser!
My settings: MOSS 2007, windows 7, outlook 2007.

Hi gajanan vasant!
I have a couple of articles for you that should help you troubleshoot your issue with Safari. First, you may want to try a reset on Safari by following the procedure listed in this article:
Safari 5.1 (OS X Lion): Reset Safari
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5043
If you are still having issues after resetting Safari, you may want to check out this article about third-party add-ons in Safari:
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

Pdf links will not open in new browser window

I have created a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro that is password protected. You must enter the password to open it. In this document there are perhaps 15 links to other pdf documents. I set up each of the links to open in a new window. The links work as expected in Acrobat, each opening in a new window, however, when I posted the documents to the web, the links open in the same window as the original document. This would not be a big issue if the original document were not password protected, but each time the user clicks on a link, it takes him out of the original document. To get back to the original document requires re-entering the password. This is a major irritation with so many links.
I know that you can set Acrobat to display the documents in its own window rather than in the browser, but my users don't know that. Control clicking on a pdf link does not open it in a new window as it would with an HTML link. Is there a simple fix to this problem that does not involve user intervention?

Well, I came up with a solution, thanks to Ted Padova who offers a simple JavaScript solution on his blog at http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows.
The solution is clearly laid out even for beginners, if you know how to create a link or button.
It seems to me that a prime objective of Adobe in developing Acrobat would be to have it behave the same way in free-standing mode and as a plug-in. In this case it does not, and obviously, it has not for the last forty-eleven years that Acrobat has been on the market. Maybe some day they will get around to a fix for this obvious problem. In the meantime, read Ted's blog and be happy we have guys like him who can solve these problems.

Dialog control flow case not opening in new browser window

Hello -
Using JDev 11gR1.
I have a page fragment that contains a table of command links like so:
 <af:commandLink text="#{row.id}" id="cl2"
 action="#{reportRunnerBean.runReportAction}"
 useWindow="true" windowHeight="500" windowWidth="500">
 <f:param value="#{row.id}" name="reportId" id="p2"/>
 </af:commandLink>the runReportAction method returns the String: "dialog:runReport"
in my page flow, the page fragment has a control flow case with the outcome "dialog:runReport" that leads to a URL View with the URL setting set to #{pageFlowScope.reportUrl}
(the reportRunAction places a string in page flow scope with the key of "reportUrl". in case it matters, the url is external to the application)
When I click on the link, I am directed to the correct URL. However, it does not open in a new browser window - it takes up the main browser window.
Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong?
Thank you for reading this,
-- Scott

Well, I couldn't figure out why the dialog wasn't working correctly, so I changed my page to use a server listener to handle the logic I wanted and just used af:goLink instead of a command link. That command link above became:
 <af:goLink text="#{row.id}" id="gl1"
 destination="#{row.reportUrl}"
 targetFrame="_blank">
 <af:clientAttribute name="reportId" value="#{row.id}"/>
 <af:clientListener method="logReport" type="click"/>
 <af:serverListener type="LogReportEvent"
 method="#{reportListBean.logReportInvocation}"/>
 </af:goLink>with the following client listener:
 <af:resource type="javascript">
 function logReport(evt) {
 var component = evt.getSource();
 var reportIdParam = component.getProperty("reportId");
 AdfCustomEvent.queue(component,
 "LogReportEvent",
 { reportId: reportIdParam}, false);
 </af:resource>and code in the bean:
 public void logReportInvocation(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
 String reportId =
 (String)clientEvent.getParameters().get("reportId");
 //...do something w/reportId here...
 }Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this.

Global Policy Link Does Not Open A New Browser Window

Hi All,
On 11.5.10.2 version
Global Policy Link which is located at the top of most iExpenses pages is
supposed to open a dynamic web page (Core policy manuals) on a new browser when
someone clicks on it. Currently this link, when clicked on it, brings the
correct page on the same browser.
I need the page to be opened in new window.
if not so, i need a alternate solution to open in new window
Thanks in advance,
Vali

Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

Modzilla does not open as the browser. I get an AVG browser instead. How do I get the Modzilla browser back?

Updated FireFox and now the SEARCH page opens with AVG browser. Have uninstalled and then reinstalled FireFox but still get AVG as the browser.

First of all update Firefox, you appear to be using Firefox 5 which is old, unsupported, and not secure.
* obtain a copy of the installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
** there is no need to uninstall Firefox first. Do NOT use any option to remove personal data as that will destroy bookmarks and passwords.
*an alternative easier method that may work is to use '''Help -> About Firefox -> []check for updates'''
I am guessing the ''AVG browser'' is some sort of toolbar or Firefox extension. Please see
#[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
#(CARE ! ) Thread "How to remove AVG Secure Search the manual way" [/questions/936670]
Try the first method initially. The second method may not be applicable in your circumstances, and involves direct editing of the registry, something to be avoided unless there is no alternative.

Firefox not opening a private browsing window instead getting another normal browsing window

I went through the forum question and found answers and tried that but it does not seem to resolve the problem.
Tried the steps given before that doesn't resolve it
tried uninstall completely and reinstall with new setup , still not getting the private browsing
current software config:
Windows 7 32 bit
with Firefox 31 version
Thanks for your help .

Hello Philip,
You are right about the setting and your solution is working but given the option of setting to never remember history and then defaulting to private browsing mode is not given as a note to user while this option is selected,seems to me as a user experience hiderring issue.
However , I have found out that we can still will be able to open in private browsing mode for window 7 OS system by using ''right click option on pinned firefox from the taskbar is still able to launch the firefox in the private browsing mode.''
Please try it, its working even when we have set set firefox to "never remember history" in the options>privacy panel
Thanks philip for sharing your valuable findings for better firefox browsing experience

Can not open my firefox browser on my laptop

Try to vet online but the browser will not open.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode to see if that works:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

After updating firefox I can not open the shortcut browser icon, but can open IE, and my whole system seems to be slow. solution please? Now when I open firefox the task manager says the process firefox is running 100% CPU in the background

Updated firefox to latest version with custom install, no task bar or startup (in past I think I usually included startup) late Friday nite. Then when trying to open Firefox shortcut on desktop Sat. could not, would freeze up. Then if I tried to open IE same would happen. After rebooting a # of times, opened IE 1st and worked but still could not open Mozilla within IE or the desktop. Also all our 3 wireless laptops including apple have no problem with this.

You said you tried the recommended solution, but didn't mention what that solution was. Try, from the Firefox menu bar:
 
Tools -> Options -> Content
where you will find an option to block pop-up windows. If that box is checked but there are sites from which you would like to allow pop-up, click the button "Exceptions..." to add sites to your exception list.
