Open a PDF in a browser - can BC be coded for this?

Hi All,
Just a quick question. We have a client who wants PDFs to open in reader's browser. All the PDFs are located in the Media Downloads and there are quite a few.
Given the number of different browsers as well as desktop versions, pad and mobile device versions, is there a code I can place on my page templates to force any PDF to open in the client's browser?  Right now, a pop-up window asks if they would like to download the PDF. Our client would like to bypass that.
Thanks,
Chuck

If you want it open it in the browser everytime use google docs PDF viewer and it will open in the browser everytime.
For example:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
Which might open in a browser or download depending on the device / browser / setting.
But... use google docs:
Direct link:
https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf&embedded=true
or if you want an iframe:
<iframe id="iframe1" src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf&embedded=true onload="javascript:this.contentWindow.location.hash=':0.page.20';">
and you're gold.

  • When I try to open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it just freezes, it also freezes when opening a PDF document. What can be done to resolve this or troubleshoot this?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is having some issues. When just the base program opens it freezes before I can even do anything with preferences. The same thing happens when I open a PDF document from anywhere. I have cleared the %temp% directory and repair installed the program with no success in finding a resolution to this issue. I have removed Adobe AIR as a thread indicated that this program could be the cause of some issues. I even restarted the print spooler as that was mentioned in a different post on Adobe Support Forums.

    I would suggest rebooting (particularly if you have not) and log in as the administrator. Also, it sounds like you can open Acrobat, but then it locks up when you try to do the preferences. So in that case go to Help>Repair and apply that. Then repeat the process with Help>Updates to get current. See if that resolves the issues. Since you mentioned %temp%, I assume you are on a windows machine, but which one?

  • Can not open certain pdf files in browser?

    I am having an issue opening pdf's that allow you to enter data and then submit them. I can open regular pdfs in my browser just fine. I have this issue in IE 7 and 8, firefox, and chrome. It is not browser specific.
    I have cleared my temp internet files. I have installed the latest version of reader. I have deselected Allow fast web view.
    Like I said, regular pdfs not an issue. The type where I can enter data just provide a blank screen.
    Your help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
    If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF.  For example, our Macs are network homed.  Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon. 
    However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked.  I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
    Hope this helps.

  • Acrobat does not opens a PDF in the Browser at all times

    Required:
    I need to ensure Acrobat opens a PDF in the Browser at all times, and not have Reader hijack the task.  All fixes for this I have found won’t work as they render Reader inoperable. i.e. uninstalling Reader or denying users to the Reader executable AcroRd32.exe
    Situation:
    I have a problem with Adobe Reader and Acrobat Standard 8.2.5.  This is on a Terminal Server 2003 with 10 users.  They require both Acrobat and Reader be accessible due to specific 3rd party applications related to banking software. 
    Problem:
    They must open PDFs in a browser with Acrobat so they may fill the forms and save them.  Acrobat doesn’t consistently open the file; Reader hijacks the file when clicked to open and their ability to fill the forms is hindered. 
    -    Open PDF in browser is checked in Acrobat
    -    Open PDF in browser is NOT checked in Reader
    Sometimes when the Acrobat desktop icon is clicked, Reader opens instead.  Having Acrobat open in the background does help but is not consistent.
    Also uninstalling Reader from the Server is unacceptable due to a 3rd party banking application for loans.  This application is hard coded to open AcroRd32.exe within the application for opening PDFs. 
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try this, when I right clicked on the document to rotate the image a noticed a tool bar appeared at the bottom of the page with the save icon. It then disappeared, but by hovering at near the bottom of the document the tool bar appears and I can save the PDF.

    How do I open several PDFs in the same Reader window using tabs for each document?  I'm using Reader 11.0.03 and Windows 7.  

    That would be a nice feature!  Suggest it at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform - hopefully it will make it into Reader XII.

  • Images won't open in my gmail or websites can anybody help me? this happend when i updated to the newest version of Firefox

    Question
    Images won't open in my gmail or websites can anybody help me? This happen when I updated to the newest version of Firefox

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    * Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    * Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    * Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
    * Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

  • Can I use JMS for this?

    User logs into our administrative console, selects a job, clicks run.
    Behind the scenes, the run command actually creates a job and returns XML which provides a long list of commands that need to be executed in order for that "job" the user triggered to be complete. This XML contains everything from shell scripts that need to be triggered to PL/SQL functions and stored procedures that need to be called...and they're listed in this XML file in the order they need to be executed and the next process in the list can only be executed when the process before it is finished. This all needs to go on behind the scenes, uninhibiting the user's experience on the website...so that's why I thought I might be able to use JMS but it seems everything needs to be written in java for this to work, which is a problem being I need to trigger runtime processes on the Linux box to execute shell scripts, which are not written in java...how would those shell scripts communicate with the JMS?
    Anyone doing anything like this? Examples somewhere? It's kind of like a job management console...the jobs are pretty complex and can take up to 45 minutes or more to complete, which is why we need to come up with a way to run them from the app server, but in the background, asynchronously from the user's website utilization. This obviously, because of the time some of these take to complete, can't be a request/response architecture...
    Thoughts? Help? Anything greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • When i update my IOS7 i lost my all pic from my IPAD2 how to get back those pic? and i don,t think so i did kept back up before i did that. can anyone help me for this issue?

    The photo's in your camera roll would be in a backup, if you have one (iCloud or iTunes).  If you did not keep a backup somewhere, they are gone.  Sorry, but that is the way of any data - if you don't have a backup of it somewhere, there is nothing to restore it from.
    All other photo's should be on your computer somewhere anyway - whereever you had them to sync to the device originally.

  • Is it possible to share my calendar with all my subscription? If so How can i find URL for this?

    Is it possible to share my calendar with all my subscription? If so How can i find URL for this?

    Hi yilmazfromlondon,
    The resource below explains how to share your iCloud calendars publicly.  Is this what you are asking about?
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. For specifics about viewing and editing privileges for shared calendars, and how participants can access the calendars, see Calendar sharing overview.
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Share a calendar publicly
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
    Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
    To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
    Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
    The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
    In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
    You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.
