Mozilla can't find a valid PDF file to open in a browser, but Chrome or IE work without problem. Why?

The system I'm running is Scientific Linux.
PDF files, I need to open in a browser, are on the file server, but in the same folder as my html files, etc.
So, in HTML I gave the link to some PDF to open it in the browser, however, Mozilla says it can't find the file by the given URL.
Proper permissions to access the files are given.
All is lowercase, no spelling error.
On Chrome, on the same computer, everything works fine.
I've also tested on Windows, still Chrome or IE work without problem.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply!
I've checked the link, and everything is set to its normal form in my browser.
Otherwise this particular case, the browser has no problems viewing PDF files,
but here, when I try to open the PDF (using HTML code, say,
href="downloads\file1.pdf" where "downloads" is a folder on the same level as the html file) then the error I am getting is this
Not Found
The requested URL (the name) was not found on this server.

  • File Open Issues - document library pdf file to open in new browser window

    Hi
    I have a requirement to open the document library containing pdf file to open in new browser window. So far I have tried following steps but could not get it to work.
    1. Changing Document library advance setting to open the document in browser (have tried others as well).
    2. SharePoint web application setting changed as Permissive instead of Strict. Here the pdf file opens in browser but redirect from document library instead of new window(Also tried adding Target=”_blank” and no change).
    3. Executed the powershell script to adding MIME type to see if it works but no change.
    $webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://SharePointSite
    If ($webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes -notcontains "application/pdf")
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Adding PDF MIME Type..."
    $webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add("application/pdf")
    $webApp.Update()
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Added and saved."
    Else
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "PDF MIME type is already added."
    4. Open the Doc library and modified ALLItems.aspx to add Target= “_blank”
    5. I have already tried solutions suggested in the link:

    Appreciate if there are any working solution from any of you. Many Thanks

    I found a solution which works only in the development. No idea when I compared, Browser MIME type is enabled, STRICT browser type is configured for web application. on the document library advance setting, default to open in new browser. Both configurations
    are identical but I am able to open pdf file in new window in my developing using jquery script
    http://blog.ithinksharepoint.com/2011/02/21/open-pdf-files-from-a-document-library-in-a-new-window/ but the same does not work on production server :(

  • Tricky - PDF file not Opening from Web Browser based application

    Hi Guys,
    Just a brief history about the issue:
    At my client site everything was fine when IE7 was there and everybody were able to open PDF files from web applications in browsers. But after a IE8 upgrade, things changed and customers are facing problems. All are Windows XP SP3 machines
    Issue: If they try to open a pdf file from the browser it just stucks at 0% and hangs with "Cancel" button. Even if they try to save that file it tell downloading and hangs again in the screen without downloading the file.
    Initial fix:
    Open Adobe Reader
    -> select the menu "Edit"
    -> select "Preferences"
    -> select the Category "Internet"
    -> set the indicator "Display PDF in browser"
    -> Reboot the machine
    This fix worrked for some people but many user are still experiencing the same thing even after changing the setting many times.
    Friends, Is there anything else might be creating the trouble here. Please let me know, and why it is that for some systems it is working and for it is not ?
    Thanks,

    There was a browser bug with IE in the past that seemed to span several browser versions.  It had to do with the interaction of the browser and the webserver.  The short version is that I had to toggle the caching option on the folder.
    Here's what I ended up doing for my client:
    Move their PDF documents into a subfolder called forms and all Flash animations into a subfolder called flash
    Marked all folders in the site to "Expire Immediately" (IIS -> highlight root folder -> Properties)
    Individually marked the "/forms" and "/flash" folders to toggle this caching option
    In this way, it allowed dynamic pages to deliver non-cached content (from the server's perspective) and it allowed binary downloads like Flash animations and PDF files to work as expected without errors.  The bug has to do with the cache-negotiation handshaking that goes on between the browser and server.
    This may not be what you're seeing but it's good to remember because I've seen it often:  the settings that you'd use to optimize a web applications don't seem to work for binary downloads like a PDF document.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I cannot get PDF files to open in the browser using Acrobat 9.0

    I have my Application options set to "Use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 (default)," yet clicking on a pdf link causes the file to be downloaded and opened outside of the browser.
    I've checked for missing plug-ins, but that only leads me to a download page for Adobe Reader 10, which should not be necessary since I already have the full version of Acrobat.

    In my case it's with .puz files, which are crossword puzzle files used by sites like the New York Times and read by the application AcrossLite. I went into preferences and tried to change the action for the file type from "Save File" to AcrossLite but it would not take. Set it instead to "Always Ask" and then in the dialogue box selected AcrossLite and "always do this" and it gave an unknown error.
    This is FF 4 on a Mac.

  • How do I find the 'invisible' pdf file of the iphoto book?

    Hi!
    Under Panther, there was a technique for finding the pdf file that iPhoto created of the book that was sent to be printed. Since I last tried this technique, I upgraded both machine and system. Now the technique doesn't work. At least I can't find the right pdf file, anywhere.
    Has Apple changed how it creates the iphoto books? Is there a new way of naming the resulting pdf files? I'd like to check the file before ordering the book.
    Thanks!

    Try this way:
    How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
    1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled.
    2 - Since Spotlight cannot find and display invisible files it is difficult to locate the iPhoto generated pdf file. I use the application Kilometre, which does show invisible files, to locate and copy the PDF file to the desktop. You can also use a 3rd party application like Cocktail or TinkerTool to make all invisible file visible for this purpose but don't forget to make them invisible again after you're done.
    3 - The file will be located in your HD/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto folder. You can then Option-drag it to the desktop to get a copy of it.
    4 - Preview the PDF file and then, if satisfactory, you can continue with the ordering process.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.
    O.T.

  • Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

    Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
    I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
    So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
    Any assistance would be appreciated?
    Leo

    The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default.  The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
    Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
    Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
    That should be it.

  • DW CC: Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

    Hi,
    I am using dreamweaver cc for 1 month now. I have been having difficulty opening .asp file.
    In the File panel, when i click on one of the asp files, the error message is 'Can't find a valid editor for this file extension'.
    To solve this problem, I will right click on the file and choose Open with > Dreamweaver.
    However, this is very inconvenient. Someone pls help!

    You can configure that in your Operating System.  In my version of Windows XP, open any folder and  select TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/FILE TYPES then scroll to the asp file type and select DW as the editor.

    Support for ColdFusion and other databases were removed from DWCC. You can add them back with the Legacy Extension, or adding a paid extension from DMX Zone...
    About 1/2 way down this page for the legacy extension: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/
    It's a paid extension, but adds back a lot of the things that were removed...

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
    == When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

  • How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

    Greetings all,
    I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
    We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
    The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
    For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
    There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
    I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
    PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
    var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
    myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
    var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
    myWin.orientation = 'row';
    with(myWin){
        myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
        myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
        myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
        myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
    myWin.center();
    var myWindow = myWin.show();
    if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
        var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
        myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
        if(myFile != null){
            app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
        }else{
            alert("No File selected");
    }else{
        alert("No PDF Preset selected");
    So far my code does the following:
    1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
    2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
    3) Toggles the Template
    4) Runs #2 Again
    5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
    It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
    Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

    If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
    Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
    It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.
