Is there an Enterprise solution to view pdf's without downloading?

Hello, a client I'm working for has begun a move to digitising a lot of their correspondence, and requires workers at remote locations to access and view these documents.
The simplest solution of having the workers access the document in a browser, and have it downloaded to their machine before opening is not really ideal, in short, volume is high, and bandwidth is constrained
Is there a product or method that an organisation can deploy (needs to be operate behind fully locked down firewalls) that either
1) Allow workers to view the documents without actually downloading lot (the assumption being this saves on bandwidth)
2) Allows workers to view the documents in such a way that only 1 page at a time is downloaded (some of these documents are 30+ pages, and the download overhead is an issue)

Adobe has a solution but it is very expensive: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/resources/drm/
It may be overkill for what you need. I would suggest studying up on Digital Rights Management solutions to see if you can find one to fit your exact needs.

  • 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

  • Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

    Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

    Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

    Then you posted in the wrong forum...
    At any rate, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool (under Tools - Content Editing) to make changes to the file. You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want to change if you want more detailed instructions.

    I've been working on a newsletter and have the final version. But I wanted to check something in a verssion I did last week. If I choose the day in Time Machine, is there any way I can view that document without "restoring" it to replace the final version?

    You can drag and drop a file from TM to the desktop.
    Let's say your newsletter is on the desktop. First thing to do is to add something to the file name, say Newsletter_1.
    Next open TM as if it is just another external drive by double clicking the icon. (This is not the same as "Enter Time Machine" which you do when you want to restore.) The file hierachy in TM follows the same logic as on your hard drive. Navigate to the date you want, find the file you want, and drag and drop it where you want it to be. Because you changed the name of the most recent version you can both files in the same space.
    I do this often.
    But remember if you make a back up now you will end up with both versions in TM.

  • Seriously? Is there not any way to view DRM-protected books downloaded from iTunes on my MacBook Pro?  I cannot believe that there is no way around this?

    Seriously?  Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro?  I cannot believe that there is not any way around this!  I seem to constantly get confounded by what seems to be the most amazingly unbelievable conundrums with Apple despite having been a champion of the company for years and years.  This relates to tethering on iPhone, external Apple hard drives only being usable with MacBook Air, and now this! If anyone is aware of a hack or way around this I would appreciate some guidance.  Thanks!

    "Seriously? "
    Yes.
    " Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro?"
    There is not.
    " I cannot believe that there is not any way around this!"
    Believe it.

  • How to view .pdf hyperlink without it downloading?

    I've published many sites in iWeb where I've hyperlinked text to a .pdf file and the .pdf simply opens in a new window.
    Now I just published a site and for some reason, whenever I click on the hyperlink it downloads the .pdf and then opens it in Acrobat.
    How can I get it back to where clicking on the hyperlink just opens the .pdf without downloading it each time????
    I'm not sure it's a Safari issue because the other sites I have work properly:  when I click on the hyperlink, the .pdf opens in a new window...no download.
    Thanks...
    AR

    Maybe I didn't explain it clearly...or maybe it's just over my head.
    You are correct, the link to the file called "Introductions" works just fine from the iWeb address:
    http://web.me.com/adamrogers/TEST/Home_files/01-Introductions.pdf
    The .pdf file opens without it being downloaded.
    But if you access the same file through the domain name that is masking the above iWeb address (www.onlineproductioninfo.com), the only way to view "Introductions" is after the file has downloaded...and I don't want that.
    Is that just the way iWeb is set up when you choose the hyperlink as "A File"?  If so, I don't remember it happening before and I've created many sites in iWeb.
    It would seems strange if this was the case, especially since it seems to only occur when a domain is forwarded to the iWeb address with masking applied.

  • Since recently updating (either Pro or Reader, not sure which), i cannot open PDF's without downloading them first. not sure how to fix!

    I updated, and now i can no longer view any files on the web without downloading them first. it's very frustrating. want to go back to the way it was, but not sure how.

    You shouldn't need both Acrobat and Reader. That aside, I suggest trying to open Acrobat and using Help>Repair. Also check the plugins or addons for your browser.

  • Is there a way to play a linked video without downloading it?

    If I receive an e-mail with a link to a video, and I right click on it, I get the option to open it in a new tab. In Firefox a dialog box comes up saying Play with ........, or download it. I can click on the 1st tab and play the video without downloading it. I have QT7, QT, VLC, Flip4Mac and Perian installed. In Safari, there is no dialog box, and I can't find a way to play it without downloading it. Is there a way to do it I haven't discovered?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Hi,
    I can't give you an example, because the link is just to the name of the video, not the url - e.g. "Sony.wmv", which is embedded in the e-mail. There is still that dialog box in Firefox that doesn't seem to exist in Safari.

  • Set Adobe Reader iPad/iPhone app to just view pdf instead of downloading it?

    Hello,
    I work for a financial company and it seems that some of our user's were having trouble viewing a pdf document that contained editable text boxes.  The layout of the form itself would show, but none of the text within the text boxes would appear.  So I tested the pdf out on my phone as well and did the same exact thing (layout shows, but no text).   Since everyone was having trouble viewing the text within the document, I downloaded the Adobe Reader App and it worked perfectly.  The only issue that I have is that since we are a financial institution, we get audited quite often and having documents stored on your phone is a big 'no-no' to the auditors.  So I was wondering if it was possible to make the Adobe Reader App just view the pdf instead downloading the pdf to the application and storing it in the docs and the recent docs setting.  A little more info on our part:   We are running Exchange 2010, my iPhone is a 4S and it's running the ios7, and the iPad is running ios 6.1.03 (I think).  Also, I did a little bit of searching but I could find anything but is there some sort of list that will say what does/does not work in regards to pdf's on iPhones or iPads?  Any suggestions/help is very welcome and appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi Shradha and thank you for that information.  Now is that only in regards to the Adobe Reader app or does that copy expand to all current pdf viewer apps on iOS?  If it is only in regards to the Adobe Reader app, then do you know of an app that may have the functionality that I am looking for?  I have tried searching for one, but I have been unsuccessful in my searches.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to view pdf's or download on one site only but IE6 can

    I am unable to view or download pdf file on the following site. All I get is a system down message.
    If I open IE6 and try the site then I am able view and download the pdf without problems.

    If the problem is with that single site only there is not much that can be done, as it is a secure site needing a login. https://sunbeltparts.com/sunbelt/secured/index.html
    I can get to<s> https://sunbeltparts.com/sunbelt/secured/index.html</s> https://www.sunbeltparts.com/sunbelt/index.html and see a thumbnail for a pdf, but I then get a system down message, so presumably they are having a site problem.

  • View PDF File Without Adobe Reader Installed

    All,
    Is there a way to serve PDF files on a website to users without Adobe Reader installed on their machine?  Is there a plug-in that I can install on the webserver that will be used to launch PDF files instead?

    what device are you using?

  • Is there a way to submit a pdf form without redirecting my web page?

    I have a fillable pdf form inside of a web page.  When a user clicks on a submit button I have the pdf calling the submitform method.  This redirects the web page to the url I specified inside of my pdf document.  I don't want the web page to be redirected.  I would like to have the pdf submitted to the server and know when I have handled the submission.  Is there a way to do this? 

    Normally you'd return an (X)FDF in this situation. It can contain content that causes an informative popup dialog to be displayed to the user, fill in form fields, and some other things. Are you able to reprogram the server to return an FDF instead of HTML?

  • Acrobat trial over and I can't seem to view PDF's without purchasing acrobat

    I don't know how to get rid of the prompt to purchase Acrobat now that my trial is over.  Whenever I try to view a PDF I get a window asking me to purchase Acrobat..can't seem to use the regular version of Adobe like I once could.  Help, please!

    Hi doveag,
    Before you downloaded the trial, were you using Adobe Reader to view the PDF files? If so, you should still have Reader on your computer. You just need to make sure that you're opening that, and not Acrobat, when you want to view your PDF files.
    Best,

  • I want to use preview to view pdf files without trashing the adobe plug-ins?

    Some of the government web sites that I need to visit regularly require me to use firefox and adobe for opening and viewing files. I would like to still be able to use Safari and Preview for opening, viewing and printing files from other web sites. Before the latest adobe update this was no problem, but now Adobe seems to have taken control over the viewing and printing settings so that even though I try printing from a Safari viewer window I get an Adobe message that this is not supported. I tried to search for an answer as I suppose I am not the only one having this problem after the most recent Adobe update. Thanks for your great help everyone. /Christian

    See if either of these help you.
