How to view pdf files inside firefox?

I spent hours on this. pdf.js sucks ass. Neither foxit nor adobe reader works. I have been using firefox since 2.0.0.20. I will have to quit if I can't view the pdf files inside my browser! The worst thing that has ever happened to firefox is the pdf.js shit. It is slow as shit and useless like shit. Just let pdf files be handled by the pdf program.

hello, please refer to [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

Viewing PDF files in Firefox on Intel Mac

Before moving to my MacBook Pro, I used Schubert-IT's PDF Plugin to view pdf files directly in my browser. That plugin is not intel-friendly, though, and Adobe doesn't let mac users utilize reader within their browser, so does anyone know of another program to view pdf files directly in a browser, without having to open preview separately?

Adobe Reader and its plug-in are PowerPC code, so the plug-in will only execute in a PowerPC application. Since Firefox is now Universal, you have to tell the system to run it under Rosetta in order for it to be able to execute PowerPC plug-ins. To do this, first quit Firefox, then find the its icon in the Finder, issue the Get Info command (or Command-I) and select the "Open using Rosetta" command. Now relaunch. It should be able to run PowerPC plug-ins (and only PowerPC plug-ins) in this mode. It will also take more RAM and run slower.

How to view PDF files like a flipping magazine?

Hi, I am new here. I didn't know if it is the optimum catagory for my question, I hope you guys will help me.
In brief, I want to view PDF files like a flipping magazine. You know, just the same flipping effect that ibook did on ios. Adobe reader is the only choice to browse PDF on computer for me. It's kind of bothering and annoying now.
So, any ideas for that? Plus, my computer runs on win7 64bit.

This is also a good site: http://www.issuu.com/ You can sign up and use it for free or you can upgrade(for a price) to make custom changes (like background color, button color, etc.) You can also embed the html code into your website if you would like someone to view it there. Good luck!

HOW TO VIEW .PDF FILES IN ITOUCH4 .

Hello pvoona,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
DO ITOUCH4 HAVE BUILT IN FEATURE TO VIEW .PDF FILES.
No it does not. You'll need the help of an application from the App store in order to do this. You can also view PDFs on the web via Safari.
And for future reference, please do not type in all caps. It gives the impression that you are yelling.

How to use pdf files inside swf

Hallo. I need a little help. I need to load pdf file inside my swf. I can just open a new browser page and load there my pdf file but first i go outside my swf and second users have to get adobe reader in order to read files. Is there a way to load a pdf file inside my swf ??.. I know that flashpaper is doing that but it is not a free program.. Is there any other solution for doing that without paying or do i have to use flashpaper absolutely??
Thx for help.
Max

How to view pdf files without downloading them on firefox for android

I use an Electronic Medical Record program using Firefox for android on a a Samsung Galaxy Pro 12.2 tablet. I need to view patient pdf files on the tablet. So far, the only way I have been able to accomplish this is to download the file first. It would be more efficient if I could just view the pdf file on the Galaxy tablet without having to download it. Is it possible to do this with Firefox for android? Thanks.

Not in any reliable manner. There is PDF.js but it has not been optimized for Firefox for Android. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/#firefox

Viewing PDF files in Firefox

Not sure where to post this, so here goes...
I'm using Firefox 2.0x and Adobe Reader 8.0 on iMac Core2Duo. When I click on a link to a pdf file, the file opens nicely in the browser, but at the same time downloads a copy to my Downloads folder. I don't always want a copy of the pdf. How can I prevent the file from downloading?
In Safari, I do not get the auto download; but can view the file in a browser window.

The Firefox support forums are at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38&sid=ff76c480f43cb2ca0f66992abc0 b96ce
A search on PDF there led to one thread at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=531066&sid=92d8bb8b44de4e8178ce56c 069e63ad9
This would suggest that if you go to Preferences>Content>File Types and open the Manage button, you may be able to alter the action of a PDF file if it is listed there among your download file types.

How to view PDF files in Safari

Hi,
I can't view PDFs in Safari since updating to 5.1. I just get the annoying dark-grey screen
I don't have Adobe Reader/Pro installed, I don't have the internet plugin, I have tried running the phrase in Terminal that is supposed to tell Safari to open PDFs not get another program to (cut and paste into terminal as is from various other threads) and I have tried downloading the file form this address: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22361/safari-display-or-download-pdf-files (incidentally, I can't download it because Safari tries to open the .dmg file in a new tab, but that doesn't work, nor does OPT-click -> Download linked file allow me to download it).
I've been to the Genius Bar at that local Apple store and the tech couldn't help - even though she looked at the problem for about 30 mins.
Does anyone know of any other possible fixes for this incredicbly annoying problem?
Cheers
Sean..

How to view PDF files in Safari 5.1?

Every time I try to view a PDF file in Safari 5.1.1 (double clicking or using the contextual menu)i, it downloads the file instead. Is there a fix for this?
Adobe tells me that their plugin will not work with Safari 5.1 (with Lion or Snow Leopard) and suggests that I revert to Safari 5.0/Leopard.

Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
Move the PDF Browser Plug-In to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try viewing a PDF in Safari.

How to remove pdf files inside ibooks on mavericks OS

Hi, I tried to delete PDF files in iBooks on Macbook Pro Mavericks OS , but it is also deleting in source file.
how to remove PDF's in ibooks without deleting source file. please help
regards,
bpk

I've not long worked out how to do basic things on my iMac but have had some coaching on other forums, as it goes this happened to me this morning.
Inadvertently, I managed to get all pdfs into ibooks and faced similar "delete" problem, couldn't drag the files out of ibooks either: Accidentally I found all ibooks info in a library through finder, took a while but right clicking "move to trash" got rid of them but not from pages/documents!
Re-opening ibooks initially showed the pdfs still in place, except after double clicking one a message appeared telling me the file could not be opened, then immediately the remaining books were shuffled and pdfs disappeared - still in documents though, and able to open.
Hope this helps, there may well be an easier way...

How to view PDF files strored in a BLOB column

Hi all,
I want to display a PDF file, stored in a BLOB column, in a form or through a JavaBean.
But the problem is more complicated then that. I do not want to retrieve the PDF file in the application server that show it through a browser.
Actually, I do not want users to get the entire file, I just want them to see it or print it.
I want, in fact, to display a "stream" of bytes through Oracle Forms. Not a file.
This one, sounded to be a good solution, but actually not. When the file was too big (multiple pages), the application was blocked until the entire file was loaded. And when you try to print it, it wasn't printed right. The advantage of this solution is that it is open-source so we can add methods to connect to the DB, retrieve the content of the BLOB column and displays it without downloading the file.
Here is a good solution. Really good, files are loaded quickly, the rendering is really good and the file is printed perfectly (as it was printed from Adobe Acrobat). The disadvantage of this solution is that it is not open-source and is really expansive.
As you can see, both solutions uses PJC.
So any help, any idea to solve my problem will be highly appreciated.
Thanks to all of you,
Amine
PS : I am using F&R 11gR2

Not entirely. At least we came to the conclusion it doesn't make (much) sense to block the save option of PDFs if you want to allow printing them
Anyway; there is of course another possibilty: you could always write your own java bean PDF reader; there are plenty of java PDF libraries available:
Open Source PDF Libraries in Java
The easiest way would be to choose one which can open a PDF from a URL and render it; I would retrieve the image via mod_plsql using WPG_DOCLOAD and simply use the PDF library to render the PDF. No tempfiles anyway, and if you don't implement it there is also no save button.
cheers
