Go directly to a page in a pdf, even when Reader opens outside of browser

I am working on a web page in ColdFusion that allows users to pick the page they want to see in a pdf and then generates a link that opens up the pdf and takes them directly to that page. It works great when Reader (or Acrobat) open up within the browser window. However, some people have Reader (or Acrobat) set up to always open up outside the browser window, and then my link to the specific page (http: . . . pdf#Page=7) doesn't work. Any suggestions for a link to a specific page in a pdf that will work whether or not Reader (or Acrobat) opens up inside or outside the browser window?

There's just buttons with behaviors attached to them.

  • I am trying to delete pages from a PDF file. I opened the bookmarks, selected the pages to delete and choose Edit Delete. The selected pages are not deleted. Note: I have to open the file using a passport provided by an external party.

    Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
    A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with.  Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
    Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
    Uninstall Reader 9.
    Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
    Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

  • Is there a plug-in yet that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser and submitted?

    Is there a plug-in yet for Firefox that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser (instead of downloaded), and then submitted to an e-mail address using the submit button on the form? I finally installed the plug-in that allows a pdf to open in Firefox and not downloaded, but the Submit button doesn't work.

    Help. Same issue.

  • I am in Muse 2014.3. When I edit a page, in the preview everything looks fine, but when I upload it to FTP, the page does not change, even when I upload the whole site. Is this a bug? I don't know what to do.

    Hi Jaap,
    Are you sure about your FTP credentials (FTP folder and site URL) that you are using for the upload? Are you able to see the updated files in the remote directory of the FTP server, after you finish uploading the muse file, using an external FTP client like FileZilla?
    Thanks

  • Creating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and can only see the first 10 pages in PDF even when the page numbers on bottom state 10 of 13 (or any number greater than 10).

    PDFs create great, unless they should be over 10 pages and then it appears the data was converted to PDF by viewing the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF but you can only view the first 10 pages in the pdf file.

    Hi stephaniec0103,
    Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat 9 and OS you are using.
    Have you tried repairing Acrobat from the Help menu?
    Acrobat 9 is an older version and incompatible with new OS versions, so I would suggest you to try using Acrobat XI (latest version) and check for the same.
    You may download a 30-day free trial version of Acrobat from the below mentioned link:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes.
    Regards,

  • When I open a PDF directly in acrobat pro 11 it provides the review pane at the right hand side on clicking on Comment button. But when I open it through browser the review  pane is missing.

    The review pane is missing at the right hand side when I open a PDF in browser. I am using acrobat pro 11 and it is not even providing the option to prevent the PDF to open in browser.
    Also, the review pane appears when I launch the PDF in acrobat directly.
    Please could you help resolving this issue?

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above. 

  • I am using iwork 09 on my Macbook and have a problem with all documents created in Pages, numbers and keynote.  When I open and one of them every document that has ever been created, even attachements to emails that have long been deleted open up.  Help!

    If anyone can help with this I would be eternally grateful.  I would like to be able to delete a document and not have it keep coming and asking me if I would like to save it.  Even when I take the do not save option it still comes back.  Is it me or the software?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • 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.

  • New page defaults to picas even when changed to mm in unit preferences

    everytime i open a new document in indesign CC the new document dialog box shows the page measurments as picas even thought i would have changed it to mm in the unit preferences. It just reverts back again.
    how can i stop this from happening. i have been able to come up with some work arounds but its just time consuming to do everytime i create a new document.
    its really frustrating as i my work is mostly for print and i alway use mm.

    Change the preferences with no documents open.
    All new documents will have those preferences.

  • Why does my blog not refresh itself when I open a new browser page?

    I add a new post to my blog. Sometimes it shows up in the browser. I close the browser, maybe....Today it has been about five days since I wrote a post. It still does not show up when I open my browser in Firefox. How do I refresh the browser? What should I do?

  • Printing selected page as a pdf in adobe reader

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Reader for the Mac. I'm dealing with pdf documents that are hundreds of pages. If I wanted to save a single page (or several pages), it seems I have to go through an extra step:
    1) print
    2) then select printer
    3) then get warning window telling me to go to applications dialogue box
    4) click ok, go to box
    5) select page range in applications printer box.
    that's a lot of steps. Preview does this in one step (but has other problems). Is there a way of selecting pages and going directly to save as pdf. I know there's no extract page feature like there is in Acrobat.
    thanks for any help,
    jeff

    Not in the free Reader, no.

  • How can I delete pages in a PDF document with Reader for iPad?

    Is there a way to do this within Reader? I know you can do it with MAX PDF or PDF Splicer, but I was hoping for a native way to delete - for example - 2 pages from a 10 page document and then resave it to Dropbox, email it, or something along those lines...
    I assume if you cannot delete, then you cannot merge 2 documents into one?
    Thanks

    I figured the app might have that ability - considering you can add text, highlight, add a signature, annotate and draw - so my thought was why not delete a page, or rearrange for that matter?.. That should be an option, this way we don't have to export to one of the other apps to delete or rearrange..
    Thanks for the help, Bernd.
    BTW if anyone is looking - PDF Max can do all of the above and delete and rearrange. With PDF Splicer you can delete and rearrange as well, but it has no other features.
    And as for Steve Werner whose comment was deleted after it got to my inbox, it is much more than a Reader, as you can plainly see from the amount of tasks the Reader app can do above.

  • Setting how the pdf dipslays when it opens up? Full Page, 100%??

    I would like to set all of my pdf documents to open so the first page is completely visable. Some of my pdfs open zoomed in so only half the page shows.
    I can do it with my excel files converted to pdfs but not MS Word or Adobe InDesign.
    I tried opening the pdf and saving as with the view exactly like I want it and still no luck.

    In Adobe Acrobat set the initial view in the properties of the document.
