Issues opening Acrobat pdf's in SharePoint 2013

In SharePoint 2007, once I checked a pdf out and clicked on it, the pdf opened in Acrobat and I could edit it as necessary. 
However, I am having an issue opening pdf's in SharePoint 2013.  When I check the pdf out and click on open, the pdf opens in Word Web app.  How can I get SharePoint to open the pdf in Adobe?  I have researched and looked at all of the settings I could and haven't found anything.

Yes, it is possible.
About Philip point. Once installed, office documents will be opened in web apps by default - you can change it by activating site collection feature called "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default". After this setup, users will opens office document
in their client applications as they've been used to before, but they will have additional option to open office documents right in their browsers (through web apps) through item context menu.

  • Configuring Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with SharePoint 2013

    Hello,
    There are multiple questions whose clarifications are required.
    Situation: Users need to open the documents in browser, check-out, edit, add comments/annotations and check-in without using Client Acrobat Reader.
    Based on the above situation, please let me know about the following:
    1. Is it mandatory to buy Adobe Acrobat XI Pro license to integrate with SharePoint 2013?
    2. Is Office Web Apps Server 2013 cannot provide the functionality as per situation so that i don't need to buy licenses for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
    3. If point no 1 is Yes then what is the procedure of configuring/enabling Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with SharePoint 2013.
    Thanks.

    What are you editing, if the answer is PDFs as a suspect it is then you will need a PDF editor such as Adobe Acrobat on each user's desktop to edit PDFs. OWA isn't a PDF editor as far as i'm aware.
    As such you'll need licenses for an editor for each user.
    The process for integrating the two is pretty straight forward, you set, either by GPO or individually, the default application for PDFs to be Adobe Acrobat.

  • Disable IRM for PDF files in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    Do anyone know how to disable PDF protection in SharePoint 2013. Earlier version they did not have it OOTB, so users were using same library to upload office documents and pdf as well expecting that only office docs are protected. But now PDF protection
    is enable by default.
    Please let me know if anyone know how to disable IRM from PDF docs only and keeping other Office docs protected as it.
    Thanks,

    I had the same issue, as my customer was not prepared to implement IRM on PDF documents, and there seems to be only a third-party solution PDF viewer which supports AD RMS. I was surprised to find this enabled by default, but it can be removed. Delete
    the key below from the registry, and then run 'iisreset' from an elevated command prompt.

  • Can't open Acrobat pdf files in document library - SBS 2011

    I've uploaded some Acrobat PDF files to a document library in the companyweb (SharePoint 2010 Foundation website) on SBS 2011. But if I click on one of them in the standard view, acrobat opens and displays a message “The URL you have provided could not be
    reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable.” I'm using Acrobat Reader XI 11.0.2 and Internet Explorer 10.
    I have tried a few suggested solutions, eg to edit the docicon.xml file to include <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>, check that the WebClient service is running, and
    Use Remote Interfaces permission is set on the SharePoint site. But no luck.
    I don't know if this is a problem with SBS 2011, or Acrobat, or Internet Explorer. Interestingly the pdf opens OK in Chrome. It looks like it is trying to edit the document instead of open it in the acrobat reader.
    Anyone know of a solution?

    I have found one possible solution. In my case the site was brought into Sharepoint Foundation 2010 as a migrated site from a previous SBS installation. 
    The site was imported as http://servername and the IIS site had a host header with companyweb so that users could browse to it, and all references to the site were as http://companyweb
    All my attempts to open the PDFs were using the http://companyweb URL.
    I was researching the issue and had gone through everything, but one thing got me thinking when some sites suggested that I look at the permissive or strict browser file open settings. I looked at the web application and it was set to http://servername in
    the Central Administration site. I thought hmm let's try opening the Adobe PDF docs with that URL instead, and it worked!
    So I changed the web application URL to http://companyweb and tried again and hey presto it's now working.
    I really hope this helps someone, it took me a good couple of hours of my day researching to find the solution here.
    Some extra info: we are using Adobe Reader 11.0.6 with IE11. Testing with Firefox worked, but that opens the document by downloading it locally and then using Adobe Reader. fix The above actually resolves the problem, it's nothing to do with permissive or strict
    file open settings, I set the SP site back to strict and PDFs still open fine. 

  • Generate PDF file in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create .pdf file while one item is submitted to list/library in SharePoint 2013.
    It means when employee inputs his/her data and after submit one pdf file will generated with the summary/relevant data.
    Can any one help me to figure out this scenario.
    Is it possible with SharePoint out of box feature?
    Please help if any solution.
    Thank You

    you can not achieve this out of box, custom development with integration of 3rd party controls is required to generate pdf files. There are paid components available but i will suggest you to use iTextSharp which is a free open source library to generate
    pdf files.
    You can refer below link to generate pdf on basis of your requirement.

  • Issue opening tasks in Microsoft Project Professional 2013

    I am using SharePoint 2013 and Project Professional 2013.
    On the Task list, I press the Open in Project.
    Project loads then I get the following error
    I tried a different approach and went to the site assets area.
    Here I located the Projects file and tried to edit it. Then I got a different error
    I've checked user permissions and I have full control. The file is not read only and it is checked in.
    This has been tested and reproduced on multiple systems and with multiple users, no changes have been made to the task list.
    Anybody have any idea where I need to troubleshoot now or any idea what's causing the problem? Thanks in advance.

    Hi bwdarnold,
    According to your description, my understanding is that  you got an error when you open SharePoint 2013 task list using ‘Open with Project’ button with Project Server 2013.
    Please make sure that you have configured Project Server 2013 correctly , you can check using the link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee662109.aspx
    Before you use ‘Open with Project’ , verify that Project Professional 2013 is closed on your desktop. More information, please refer to it:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219519.aspx
    As this issue is related to Project Server 2013, I commend you create a new thread in Project Server forum, more experts will assist you with Project Server 2013.

  • How to open Modal list form in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    in SharePoint 2010 the following opens a new item form in a Modal dialog, but in SharePoint 2013 it opens the form in a new window:
    <input onclick="javascript:NewItem2(event, &#39;http://intranet.pcycnsw.org.au/activities/pcycbrandedprograms/toipadmin/Lists/Courses/Item/newifs.aspx&#39;);javascript:return false;" type="submit" target="_self" value="Add a Course"/>
    In SP 2010 you get a nice pop up modal dialog and the user doesn't leave the page they launched the dialog from.
    In SP 2013 the same code works, but doesn't open the form modally - instead it opens the form in a full page.
    What is the equivalent method for SP 2013 so that I can get the form to open in a modal pop up like in SP2010?
    Mark

    Hi Kelly
    You can run this javascript line from the modal:
    window.top.location.reload();
    or
    parent.location.reload();

  • Can fill-able forms created in Acrobat 9 work with SharePoint 2013 workflow?

    Okay so here's the deal.....
    I have a few HR forms that need to be searchable and created as workflows in SharePoint 2013. Creating a custom list will not work because it is not a built to create forms. Integrating InfoPath would be ideal, but it will not work either because the company
    will not pay for Enterprise licensing.
    So my question is....what if I created a fill-able form in Acrobat and uploaded to SharePoint. Can I create a workflow from the document. The only question is, when the user fill out the form, where it will go? There is no submit button.
    I guess the REAL question is, other than InfoPath, is there a work around to having forms on SharePoint that can be created as a workflow and made searchable. Did I mention that the forms must be fill-able.
    Hope I make sense.
    artisticweb

    No, you cannot submit form values of a acrobat to SharePoint. You can use list form for basic form, else try using jquery to build custom forms as an alternative for infopath. Refer to the following codeplex solution. You could use this or build one similar
    to that using the source code.

  • PDF Viewer in SharePoint 2013

    Hi everyone,
    I have a document library containing multiple PDF files. When user clicks a document, the file opens in a pdf viewer installed in the local machine. But in our case, we want to open pdf files online in a browser for view only. Is there any webpart available
    to open PDFs online?
    Please share your experiences or suggest a workaround.
    Thanks
    -Ahmed Khan

    Hi Ahmed,
    Your web application's Browser File Handling setting has been set to "Strict". This setting when set to "Strict" will force the PDF file to download/open in the client application.
    To open PDF file in a browser make the following changes:
    Open your Central Admin 2013 > Application Management > Manage Web Application > Select your Web Application > Click on General Settings > Browser File Handling > Select "Permissive" > Click OK and you are
    done.
    Now Open your document library, click on Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Open Documents in the Browser > Tick the option "Open in Browser" > Click Ok. (This option is not required actually if you do the above for PDF files but
    can be considered for Office Documents)
    Now go back to your library and open any PDF file.

  • Websites don't open in new tab on SharePoint 2013 pages

    Hello,
    I have Open in new tab checked in the page editor for a link on SharePoint 2013 page.  When the page is published, the link does not open up at all.  I have to do a right mouse click and select "Open in a new tab" manually.  I am
    using IE 11.  
    Anyway there could be something to get this to work with IE?  When use the page in Google Chrome, the website opens up in a new tab.  Not with IE.
    Any help would be much appreciated. 
    Paul

    I am editing links on a webpage on a SharePoint page. I am in the content management system on SharePoint 2014. I have check out the page and in the editing mode. I have highlighted a link on a page and can edit the link. There is an option to select
    "Open in a new tab".   This is an internal SharePoint site, our intranet.  Client OS are Windows 8.1.
    I have read that it could be the Pop-Up blocker or the  Protect mode for intranet. I will check those out.

  • Firefox 6.01 doesn't open ACROBAT PDF, when Chrome does

    When I click to open a PDF Acrobat 10.1.0 spanish doc, it appears a bar in the centre but the PDF never aprears.
    Then I copy/paste the URL in a Chrome and it comes up immediately

    Hi JeffLazar,
    There are a couple of solutions. The first is to revert to using Chrome’s own PDF viewer by reversing your earlier actions (so type about:plug-ins into the address bar then click the disable link next to the Adobe Reader/Acrobat link).
    This would stop the constant nagging to update because the PDF viewer would be updated with Chrome (which anyway happens automatically, without the user’s input or knowledge). However, it would also mean putting up with the Chrome PDF viewer quirk that bothered you in the first place.
    The second option is to force Chrome to ignore, and therefore run, outdated plug-ins. This is an all-or-nothing approach, though, that isn’t recommended by Google – or even by Adobe – because it could leave your browser at risk from some as-yet-undiscovered security hole (updates to plug-ins are often made to fix such flaws).
    But if you’re determined to keep using Chrome and want to keep using Adobe’s PDF viewer without the update annoyances then using the --allow-outdated-plugins command-line parameter when launching the Chrome executable file will do this (it begins with two hyphens).
    If you launch Chrome from the Start menu, for example, then click Start then point to All Programs followed by Google Chrome and then right-click the Google Chrome and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
    Now append the --allow-outdated-plug-ins to the end of the Target line (so it’ll look something like: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --allow-outdated-plug-ins) and click OK. Restart Chrome and it will no longer check for deprecated plug-ins.

  • How to open Acrobat PDF contains spot colors with Photoshop?

    I'm looking for a simple way to open a pdf file that contains spot color channels with Photoshop. Currently Photoshop can open only CMYK channels. DCS can be a solution but Acrobat doesn’t have the option to save as DCS. Please advice.

    Are you referring to opening the entire PDF file in Photoshop or do you mean that you have the PDF file open in Acrobat and want to open one of the images into Photoshop for editing?
    Opening PDF files (created in other programs) in Photoshop is often a recipe for disaster... or rather a recipe to raster. 

  • Issue with @mention urls in newsfeed - SharePoint 2013

    I have configured mysites in SharePoint 2013 with following cnfigurations,
    Server name : Server1
    Alternate Access Mappings for Portal  (on port 80): Server1 (default), Intra.domain.com
    Alternate Access Mappings for MySites (on port 1234): Server1:1234, mysite.domain.com . I created these by extending web applications on port 80 with host header.
    When accessing Mysites using - mysite.domain.com
    I am able access mysites and intranet portal without any issues, browse org chart, post comments etc..
    Links to Newsfeed, Onedrive Pro, about me etc.. all are working fine.
    links to Hashtags are working fine. E.g #SharePoint
    But when i post with '@mention' links to these user profiles are taking me to 'Server1:1234' urls instead of 'mysite.domain.com' urls.
    Did any one experience similar issue? I am not if it is a bug in SharePoint.
    Any ideas to fix this issue?

    Hi Srujank,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the URL changed to Server:1234 when you posted with @mention in Newsfeed.
    Did this issue occur with other users?
    How did you configure the Alternate Access Mapping for the My Site web application?
    I recommend to set the Server:1234 as the default zone URL of the My Site web application and set the mysite.domain.com as the other zone’s URL.
    Best regards.
    Thanks
