How do I view a pdf files online within the body of the browser

I am having some issues interacting with pdf documents online with a website called Equator.com. I am using the latest version of of Firefox (10.0) and running Mac OS Lion. What can be done to remedy this problem?

Hi richardconte,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]? First you will need to install a PDF Plugin. Then you'll need to tell Firefox to open the PDF file in the browser. The article covers all of this information and provides troubleshooting steps in case you run into any issues.
Hopefully this helps!

How can I view a PDF file on my IPad? I only get the first page.

How can I view a PDF file from my Ipad, both in email and Internet links? I only get the first page.

Support for viewing PDFs in emails and web-pages is built in to the iPad. You need not have bought an app for that.
There are PDF apps that provide more features than the built-in functionality, but for basic viewing of multi-page PDFs no app is required.

Thanks!

There's no way to lock bookmarks specifically, but if you you can apply a
security policy to prevent editing the PDF in general.

Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?

I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.

The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

How do you submit a pdf file in OS 10.9 via firefox browser?

I received the following pop-up after receiving and following instructions on how to open a PDF file in OS 10.9 using a Firefox browser:
Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
To avoid this message int he future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively. Please contact your browser vendor for more details.
I saved the document to my desktop and tried to upload to my work website and received the following security warning:
This document is trying to connect to: file:///index.cfm?event=vendorsonly.submitEventForm&btnCloseEvent=
I am presented with the options block, cancel, and allow. I of course select allow but it still will not allow me to submit the document after it has been completed. Can you please assist?
Thank you.

Is it possible to print a pdf file served to the browser?

I have a servlet that will send a pdf file to the browser (IE), (i set the content type to "applicaction/pdf"). Now I need a way to create a print button to allow user that option, seems the browser print button is not satisfactory. Can a pdf be embedded in a web page somehow? Sounds like I would be dealing with 2 different reponse types "application/pdf" and "text/html"..I think the print button would call a method doing some extra things other than what the browser print button does. Is this possible? Thank you

found an answer..thanks

PDF file display on the browser

Hi,
I am using struts DispatchAction to display the existing file (on the server) on the web browser. My code works on FireFox and Google Chrome. But displays empty screen when executed on IE. Please refer to the Action class and kindly help me out what am I missing in the code inorder to work on all browsers.
Page Access URL: http://localhost:8080/pdfWeb/showpdf.do?action=displayPdf
Action Class
public class BaseAction extends DispatchAction {
     public ActionForward displayPdf(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
               HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
               throws Exception {
     String filepath = "/test/pdf/sample.pdf";
     //For Local:
     String baseFolder = "/Users/raghu/Documents/Shared/personal/Final_Out";
     String contentType = getServlet().getServletContext().getMimeType(filepath);
     response.setContentType(contentType);
          //New
     response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
          response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
          response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
byte[] pdfContent = this.loadFile(baseFolder + filepath);
out.write(pdfContent, 0, pdfContent.length);
if (out != null) {
out.close();
          return null;
     public static byte[] loadFile(String sourcePath) {
     byte[] output = null;
     InputStream inputStream = null;
          try {
               inputStream = new FileInputStream(sourcePath);
               output = readFully(inputStream);
               if (inputStream != null) {
                    inputStream.close();
          catch(IOException ioex) {
               //Handle Exception
          return output;
}

We've had a number of IE related issues displaying PDF files. The first is that IE, rather than paying much attention to Mime type, still looks for extension names in the URL. Nasty as it sounds, it's sometimes necessary to ensure that your URL ends in ".pdf". It may be enough to append "&x=.pdf" onto the URL (which should have no significant impact).
(Another is that some versions can't write a new PDF to an existing window already showing an old one).

How do I close a PDF document automatically when the browser is closed?

I have a web app writen in HTML/ASP. In order to acccess this app, our users have to enter a password and user id. Once on the main page of the app, they can click on a link which opens the reader in another window. Quite often, when finished with the app, they close the browser, but leave the reader window open (with sensitive information). It is becoming to riskly to hope that they remember to close that window also, even with visual reminders. I would like for that window to close automatically when the browser with the app is closed.
Can this be done?

Let me elaborate a little more on what I am trying to do.
(1) A website (#1) is opened after entering a UID and PWD.
(2) Within website #1, a link is clicked which opens a second web app (#2) in a seperate window using window.open().
(3) Within website #2, a user can click on a link which opens a PDF as _SELF.
(4) If the user:
(a) exits out of website #1 by closing the brower
(b) we would like to automatically close the PDF from website #2 also, as this contains sensitive information and most of the time the users are forgetting to close it

Opening a pdf file twice in the same screen

How can I open a pdf file twice in the same screen so that they are side by side?

In Adobe Reader try the menu Window > New Window

FireFox 3.6 and Adobe Reader X. Reader X PDFs opened within the browser contain links, which do not work. Anyone got clues on why the links fail and how to fix?

When we rolled out ReaderX and AcrobatX we uncheck the Diaply PDF in Browser window. OK with IE, but ignored in FireFox (3.6.16). We can live with that except the PDFs have links to other URLs and clicking on them is ignored. Same PDF opened outside the browser the links work fine. FireFox with Reader 9.4.0 no problem. Reader X with IE no problem. I can fix the Display in Browser with a change to firefox.js, but have not figured out how to fix the links when the PDF is displayed within the browser.

My replies are in Bold.
Thank you for your response and message.
1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF hosted on the internet?
It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
3. Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you could find it at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties -> Details
If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
Anyway.... Cheers.
