Open Document File Browser using button

I want to add a button to my PDF that when clicked opens the document file browser to a specified folder. How can this be done? All the information I've found requires you to enter the name of the document you're inserting rather than opening the browser window.
Also, is it possible to setup a button to open a specified folder and insert the latest pdf file in that folder?
I am somewhat familiar with JavaScript.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to click the Document ID link to open the document directly without prompting an open\save dialog.
By design, some specific documents such as .doc or .xlsx files can’t be opened directly when you click the Document ID link.
As a workaround, I recommend that you can install the Office Web App to implement it in your environment.
For more information, you can refer to:

How to open a file browser in CRM Web UI without THTMLB tag "fileUpload"

Hello,
can someone help me solving this question:
How can I open a file browser in CRM Web UI without using the THTMLB tag "fileUpload"?
The THTMLB tag has the disadvantage that after having uploaded the file the file name disappears.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Michael.

Hello, Michael.
I've got what you mean now. Seems that this is a standard behaviour of this tag. And it has a background which I can only guess - you press Upload, upload is done, field is emptied shown that it is ready to upload next file.
I suppose you should handle such situation in your onUpload method. And set some indicator (text field below the fileupload tag, icon somewhere near, disabling fileUpload's bttons etc.) on the screen accordingly.
For instance, your button "Start import" at the bottom of the window already knows about it (it switches from disabled to enabled when you press "Upload").

Opening new browser using button

Hi there:
I am trying to insert a link to a webpage which I would like
to have open in a new browser. I selected 'Open URL or file',
entered the URL [complete with http] and then selected 'New' from
the drop down list. When I run the file [I have done this locally
from my hard drive and am wondering if that may be the issue] and
click on the button nothing happens.
As a test I changed the URL to be the location for file and
it opens the file fine. Do I need to wait until the video is
implemented on the web before the link will work?
Thanks!

public class WindowsProcess
     public static void main(String[] args)
          throws Exception
          String[] cmd = new String[3];
          cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
          cmd[1] = "/C";
          cmd[2] = "start";
          Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
          process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
}When you run the above code you should get two open dos windows.
Now just just enter some html filename and hit enter in each window. IE should start up separately in each window.
Thats also what should happen if you specify the html file as the fourth parameter. A new process should be created and two separate windows should open with a browser in each.

Open pdf in browser using xfdf from asp

I am attempting to open and fill with data a form created with Acrobat Pro 8. I have created a test form with 2 fields and exported to an xfdf file. I used the xfdf file to create an asp page that is supposed to open the form, filling the fields with the data specified in the xfdf. When I open the asp page in my browser, Acrobat opens (not the IE plugin), with an error message that it cannot open the file. It is either damaged or is not a supported file type. I will include the xfdf file below and my asp page. My question is, should this work? And if so, what am I missing? If not, what format file/content-type do I need to use this method - FDF? Thanks in advance for any help. My test machine is XP and IIS - Acrobat is 8 pro - ASP is vbscript The original xfdf file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"> <fields> <field name="Address"> <value>23 Ridge Ave</value> </field><field name="Name"> <value>Bob Smith</value> </field> </fields> <ids original="68ECBEB4D7F1984F9136D032C2F70874" modified="6A4B97BDCEF94142B2FC6D8C9A79EE53"/> <f href="Document.pdf"/> </xfdf> My asp file: <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%> <% Response.Buffer = true Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xfdf" Response.Write "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>" Response.Write "<xfdf xmlns=""http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/"" xml:space=""preserve"">" Response.Write "<fields>" Response.Write "<field name=""Address"">" Response.Write "<value>23 Ridge Ave</value>" Response.Write "</field><field name=""Name"">" Response.Write "<value>Bob Smith</value>" Response.Write "</field>" Response.Write "</fields>" Response.Write "<ids original=""68ECBEB4D7F1984F9136D032C2F70874"" modified=""6A4B97BDCEF94142B2FC6D8C9A79EE53""/>" Response.Write "<f href=""http://localhost/state/document.pdf""/>" Response.Write "</xfdf>" Response.Flush Response.End %>

Custom RH9 WebHelp skin: Problem opening PDF file from custom button

Hi, I've been troubleshooting and checking forums trying to figure out how to get a PDF file to open from a custom button on my WebHelp skin. It worked for me once upon a time, but I changed something in the document and tried to upload the new version and it has errored out ever since.
I want to have the ability to open the PDF in a new window from the custom button (called 'Printable PDF' on my skin), so I am using the following custom JavaScript in the 'Click On' field of the the custom button's components: window.open('print_test.pdf','printWindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=900,height=500,scr ollbars=1'); I know the script is good because I have the same script for the Support custom button and it works great. The only difference between those scripts is the Support script calls an .html file instead of a PDF and the window names says 'supportWindow' instead of 'printWindow'.
I've tried deleting and recreating the custom button, changing the JavaScript with a developer's help, generating the help on another machine thinking it was a glitch with my browser (using IE8) or RoboHelp license, and combing the help files numerous times. I've also ensured that the PDF file is stored in the skin and project folders along with the other project files/folders. I've used previous versions of RoboHelp and had no problems attaching a Word document and PDF, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in RH9?? Especially since it worked for me initially. Any assistance and/or fresh ideas are welcomed! Thank you!

Hello again
Happy I was able to help.
MOTW is only present and affects things when you are running content off your local C drive. It's value is in preventing that Yellow Information Bar and all that from appearing when you are using IE. Once you publish content to a server and access it that way you are in a different security zone and MOTW has no influence either way. So there would be no adantage to enabling it before publishing to a server. The only reason you might want to consider enabling it would be if you were copying the WebHelp to everyone's hard drive and having them run it from their hard drives.
Make sense?
Hope so... Rick

Link to document not opening document in browser or client app

hi All,
i am using office 365 e1, i have aspx page on which we are fetching link of document and showing using CSOM. when user click on link instead of opening in client app or browser it is downloading.
if you have solution please help me

Hi,
According to your description, you want to open document link in client app or browser.
You need to active the “Open Documents in Client Applications by Default” feature.
I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Open “Site Settings”->”
Site Collection Features”.
2. Active the “Open Documents in Client Applications by Default” feature.
I did a test in my environment, here is a screen capture below:
http://tinypic.com/r/f05egm/8
Do you mean that it will download file or just an open alert in the browser after you click the document link ?
Please provide your detailed information such as screen capture, it will be easier for us to find the solution of the issue.

Open documents/files from Application Server in forms 6i

Hello All,
Our requirement is to open files that are in Application server( We do not want to upload them into database).
Is there a way to open this files from forms 6i.
I am wondering how the "View Output" or View log button works on the concurrent program submission form. Its the doing the same thing i.e pulling the file from Application server and showing up.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to get this done.
Thanks
Sunil

I assume you are using Forms 6i in web mode here. Then it is just a URL to the file if you properly map to a directory where you store the files:
web.show_document('http://...../myfile.pdf');
But it also looks like you are using Oracle Apps, so might want to ask it in the e-Business Suite.

Open a New Browser menu button

When I click the “open FlashPaper document in a new
browser window” button on the FlashPaper menu bar, a new
window opens showing a bunch of nonsense. The FlashPaper document
does not appear. This does not happen when I am viewing the pages
locally. What, if anything, am I doing wrong? and how can I fix it?
I do not need the "open FlashPaper document in a new browser" so
how can I generate a document without it?

Hi,
Even if i create different regions , it is not possible for me to place them between items.
But anyways, I created a separate button in the same region and it works fine.
Thanks Jari for your help.

Failed to Open Document (file not 0 bytes) - Suggested resolution!

(Posting this to assist others with same problem - I have actually resolved for me - please note Adobe developers for suggested improvement for work around… there is still a bug in there somewhere with corrupt files)
Using Flash Pro CS6 (v 12.0.0.481) on Mac OSX 7.5
Problem:
Tried to open a file that I was working on last night (after MAC crashed and untidy shut down, but had saved file beforehand) this morning and got the error message "Failed to open document". The file has 10 MB of size (not 0 bit like other crashes that were not recoverable!).
Resolution (work around):
Managed to recover the file using a combo of ideas I found on the web.
First things first... check the file size, if the file size is 0, your pretty much stuffed since the file is empty, sorry. If however the file is populated, then this is what I did:
1) copied the file and saved it to a new location (so working on a duplicate)
2) downloaded a rar file tool (Winrar or I used The Unarchiver for Mac)
3) Change the name of the file extension of that duplicate to .rar (you will get a warning message, accept it)
4) Double click on the .rar file to open it using the .rar extraction ap you selected - you will be asked to say where you want that file to be extracted to - I just created a new folder on my desktop. In the process of extracting that file (believe it or not it is stored up as many parts), I got error messages that 3 images that were used in the file were corrupted. I selected to continue and ignore that. I made note of the corrupted files set.
5) Locate the problem files (mine were in a folder called "Library" in the extracted file set) and delete those images *NOTE: you should have these copied elsewhere since they are brought into flash generally. BUT you might also like to skip this step and try the step below first - I didn't - it could be that you don't actually need to delete those images. If the step below doesn't work, then come back here and try again)
6) In the new extracted file directory, there should be the same file name you want, just not as .fla but as a .xfl version. This means an uncompressed version (I have no idea what that really means) - double click on that same named file.xfl
7) This .xfl file then opened for me in Flash
8) Save that file again as .fla, add back any images that were needed and corrupted - mine were not needed so I just left them.
I love working with flash but the instability is really a problem - I pretty much have to save a working file to another location and then try to reopen that before closing the original or shutting down / restarting. This time I was lucky (only 1 hour of research and trial and error to recover) but previously I have had 0 byte files and had no choice but to start again (since time machine failed to save earlier versions).
Suggested resolution adobe developers:
It would be very useful if Flash told you which files were corrupted and then gave you an option to open the document with corrupted files removed as a copied version - at least this way we could work with most of the file to rebuild.

This problem has been around for years and the solution you suggest is only the second best in my opinion.
The best would be to have a Failsafe like many other products/companies already have going: Corel, Autodesk, Microsoft etc.:
If their programs stop working they alert you to the fact and give you the opportunity to safe a copy of the file under a different name.
Can`t be Rocket Science. If you can`t make your products work reliable, at least come up with manageable solutions.
There is at least one day a month were I would be really lost without the ability of our company to rewind to the xfl version of yesterday.
I can`t imagine what someone that works as a freelancer and hasn`t got the redundancy of companies has to go through if Flash burns him/her on a regular basis.

CS4 apps are VERY slow to open Windows file browser with File Open or File Save As commands

We are running CS4 on Windows 7 with all available updates installed. Photoshop and the other CS4 applications are VERY slow to open a Windows file browsing window to select files when File Open or File Save As menu options are run -- it can take as long as a minute or two for the window to open. Once the window opens and a file is selected, then opening or saving the file is very quick. The location of the default directory, whether it is on a local drive or a network drive, makes no difference. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

The link that I posted earlier is off. Read this one
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2501584. I discovered in my network that the MS Office File Validation Patch made excel crawl when opening over the network though nothing else changed. At the time I was opening Excel on Office 2003.
You can manually turn this off by editing the registry and tunring it off. Going forward I skipped the patch to keep my sanity. Not sure if this is the same as your issue, but the support article will go into detail how to either have Fix it
clear the issue or change the proper registry keys.
Hope this helps

File browsing - using keyboard

Which key can you use to navigate backwards while file browsing?

Command plus either the up arrow or [ depending if you want to go up one folder or back to the previous one viewed in that Finder window.
