Open PDF in same browser when the preference is set to open in new window.

The corporate policy for all applications is to open the PDF document in new browser/reader but our application needs the reader to open in the same browser even the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work?
Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser?
thanks,
- Ray

There is no way to override that from your application. And if the Links in the PDF have an explicit "open in new window" setting, that is respected over the preference.

Why does Firefox try to open PDF with Acrobat 8 when I have Properties set to use Reader 9.1?

If I click a link to a PDF from Firefox 3.6.10 it tries to open it with Acrobat 8 and fails, while if I double-click in a folder it correctly opens with Reader 9.1
If I try to open with Acrobat 8 from folder it won't work either, but why doesn't Firefox use the default program?

Go to Tools|Options|Applications. The first 4 entries relate to Adobe. Make sure that the association is for your 9.1 version. If it's not, click the association that is showing. You will get a downward pointing triangle at the right. Click on it and see if 9.1 is listed. If so, select it. Do the same for the other Adobe items.
You might also want to check "Folder Options" in the Windows Control Panel. In the "File Types" tab you will find all of the file extensions and the programs they are associated with. Scroll down to the PDF extension and insure it's associated with an "Adobe Acrobat Document. If not, click on the <change> button and find adobe in the program list.
Just to let you know, Adobe Reader is now up to version 9.4. You can go to Adobe's website to download the latest.

I have Adobe Reader in stalled on my MacBook Pro but the plugin is not showing in FireFox so I am unable to open pdf's in browser. How can I correct?

When I encounter a site that requires me to fill in a pdf form the browser opens in Adobe Reader and not in the browser. I have checked off in Adobe Reader to open pdf's in browser but it still will not.

I do not think adobe reader works as a plugin for Firefox on Macs, ( but a PC user myself so I can not check). See [[Installing and updating Adobe Reader]]
Note specifically comments in the Mac version of that [/kb/Using%20the%20Adobe%20Reader%20plugin%20with%20Firefox?s=pdf+plugin+mac&as=s#os=mac&browser=fx35] about alternative plugins.

Oracle Reports: Opening within the same browser all the time

Hi there,
I am running Oracle Report 10g using Oracle AS 10.3.
The report output is PDF to a browser.
Each time I run the report, it opens within the same browser.
Is there an option to open the report in a new browser all the time.
http://server_name:port_number/reports/rwservlet?server=report_server_name&recursive_load=NO&paramform=NO&destype=CACHE&desformat=pdf&report=report_name.rep&orientation=portrait&paramter1=1
Thanks for any help.
Jim

I guess you run the report from a form using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT? If so, use '_blank' as second parameter, this will open the given url in a new window.
btw.. if you use forms to start a report you may consider to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT to start the report instead of using the url-syntax.

Unable to open PDF file in browser using Reader 9 with IE8

I just updated to IE8 and when trying to open a PDF file on the browser, I received a message stating to use Adobe Reader 8 or 9. I downloaded AR9 and still receive the same message and cannot open PDF files in browser window. It defaults to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which will not open the file. I have Windows XP. I do not have a problem opening a PDF file in Yahoo mail with AR9. I have tried many different ideas on the web to no avail. Appreciate any help to be able to default to open PDF files in the browser using AR9 which is apparently required by IE8.

Fixed problem by taking to a computer store to find that my hard drive storage was maxed out. I had the hard drive repaced with a larger amount of storage. Problem resulted from inadequate amount of storage space which prevented me from downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.
Thanks to al that responded.

Cant open pdf files in browser

Cannot open pdf files in browser but can open from hard drive. Using Adobe 11.0.02 with Windows 8. Have uninstalled Reader and reinstalled and then restarted PC; Checked for updates; used the Repair selection on the menu. Frustrated. Suggestions?

Hi adityabhargava01-
My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps!

Opening PDF in Web Browser(IE)

Hi,
I have written a program to download PDF file. When user will click on "Download" link, PDF file should open in web browser IE itself. Currently file is opening in separate window. I am creating this PDF file run time and it is not stored in harddisk. In Acrobar Reader, I have checked the check box "Display PDF in browser". Despite this it is opening in separate window.
I have written following code:
byte abyte0[] = pdfGenerator.generatePDF(getXslFile(instancedata), new String(instancedata.requestResult.message, "UTF-8"));
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + instancedata.userId + "_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".pdf");
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
String s = new String(abyte0, "UTF-8");
servletoutputstream = httpservletresponse.getOutputStream();
servletoutputstream.write(abyte0, 0, abyte0.length);
servletoutputstream.flush();
Kindly suggest what is required to open PDF in Web browser (IE).
Regards,
Dev

I don't see anything wrong here offhand.
In your download link, you aren't using target="new" or anything, are you?

Open pdf in mobile browser (share point 2013)

hello,
I need to Open pdf in mobile browser (share point 2013).i tried browser handling type in permissive mode.
but i couldn't view the pdf when i access through mobile browser.
is there any work around to do this .?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks regards, Vignesh.

Per the earlier thread, your best bet is to use Office Web Apps in conjunction with SharePoint 2013 to display PDFs. Otherwise a browser needs a control (which most if not all mobile browsers will not have) to handle viewing PDFs in the browser.

What's,with,the,commas?
If you have a tablet that runs full Windows 8 - not Windows 8 RT, which is limited.
And if you install the full Adobe Reader for Windows, not the special Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8.
Then you will have the same features as a desktop.
Unless they can't be accessed in touch mode, since it isn't a touch app.

If you have IE version 10 go to TOOLS and change the option to use Compatibility View

After my last update I can't start up an other keynote presentation from a link (only when the other presentation is already open) I hope there will be an fix soon.

I thought it was because of Lion but with snow leopard i have the same problem (On another Mac).
Other solutions????

To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect. That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

When the Adobe Application Manager will open the following message: Download error. What should I do

When the Adobe Application Manager will open the following message: Download error. What should I do

is the error some gibberish like : UW44PKU or some code similar to that?
i think the code is U44M1P7.
if this is what happens i think i know what to do, that is if you already have PSCS6 (permanent license) version on you risk before you joined cc.
