  • Open local PDF in browser (Folio)

    I'd like to include a PDF in my publication (local, not online). When you click a button in the publication, this PDF needs to be displayed in the internal Folio browser. Is this possible?

    Zip the file, upload as HTMLResources.zip. the button needs to point to
    "HTMLResources/filename.pdf"
    As far as I can recall.

  • Help with opening a .PDF in browser (firefox) - have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extender installed

    Hi all,
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 ProExtender installed, whenever I go to my firefox options and change the .PDF setting to (USE ADOBE ACROBAT (in firefox)) setting, i get a screen which is whited out, and a message from Adobe Acrobat with a question mark (?), but no message is there to read.
    That is the scr
    een that pops up, I can back out and try the link again for it to work, but it does it to all my .PDF files I try to view on the page.  All I can do to prevent this is to save to disk, and open with adobe acrobat pro extender, but sometimes the file I need to look at are quick and would save a lot of time just opening it on the browser.
    Thanks for the help!

    Unfortunately, it's not that simple because Acrobat and Reader share files, and that's why Adobe recommends not to have them both installed in the same machine.

  • Opening up PDF in browser window automatically saves it to temp file

    Hi,
    In our application, we send pdfs to a popped open browser window for the user to access.
    One of the access features is a "Save" button on the pdf that will send an xfdf post of the form data back to the server. (we have the server url embedded in a form field an Acrobat JavaScript attached to a button does the "post").
    This usually works fine.  However, we have a few customers that complain the "Save" doesn't work.
    Turns out that the "Save" doesn't work because when the pdf is first loaded, it is being saved to a temporary file on the disk (and not held in the browser memory), so the authentication cookie of the browser session is now no longer retained with the "Saved As" copy of the pdf.  Thus, the pdf "Save" fails.
    So the question is, why does sometimes, the pdf automatically "save as" to the temporary directory, and usually it doesn't have this problem?
    We've seen this both with Acrobat Reader 8 and Acrobat Reader 9 (including the latest 9.3.).
    Thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Hi Bill and Dave,
    Thanks for the thoughts.
    I'm confident that this pdf is getting opened in IE (see attached screenshot from a customer).
    As far as additional clues...  I was banging on this on my machine (Windows 7, IE 8.0.7600.16385), and I did see it occur once.
    Thanks for the thought on the browser.  I'll query the problem customers about their IE version (the site only allows using IE).
    When it occurred, (later it dawned on me...but not at the time), the "plug-in" that opened appeared to be Acrobat Standard window (because in hind-sight, I realized that the "Save As" button was available).  The way I seemed to cause it (but cannot reproduce it now) was to change the "Documents/Save Settings/Every X minutes (to value of 1 minute)", and also the Security(Enhanced) to "Enable Enhanced Security" to "true".
    note:  I have both Acrobat 9 Standard, and Acrobat 9 Reader installed on this machine.
    When I went an reset those values to the original, it was still "stuck" in the "saving to temporary disk" mode (great because it reproduced the problem, but then I seemed to have my machine stuck in this mode).
    So I rebooted, and then the IE plug-in seems to now always run Acrobat Reader...and I had the problem no more.
    I have not yet been able to get this stuck in this mode again...
    Any thoughts would be appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Andy

  • Can't open a pdf within browser with newest version of Adobe Reader

    After installing Adobe Reader 9.3 I can't view links to a PDF file. I get this message.
    'The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to veiw PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.'
    How can get to the PDF file on the internet if you are not in a browser?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm actually having the same problem on several computers running both Windows XP sp3 and Windows 7. I've deployed a customized installation created in Adobe Customization Wizard (basicly just turned off the Adobe Online/Registration options in the menu). WinXP use IE6 and Win7 naturally IE8.
    I'm going to try and find a solution to this and I will get back to you if I do find one.
    In the mean time you can start Adobe Reader, go to the "Edit" menu and select "preferences", find the option "Internet" on the left menu and remove the option for "View PDF's in web browser".
    Edit:
    Actually, I found this in case you haven't found it yourself yet: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405461.html
    Unfortunately that doesn't help me much, since I need to figure out why the installer won't do it properly. So if anyone else have an idea about this it would be appreciated if you could share your knowledge.

  • When I open a PDF directly in acrobat pro 11 it provides the review pane at the right hand side on clicking on Comment button. But when I open it through browser the review  pane is missing.

    The review pane is missing at the right hand side when I open a PDF in browser. I am using acrobat pro 11 and it is not even providing the option to prevent the PDF to open in browser.
    Also, the review pane appears when I launch the PDF in acrobat directly.
    Please could you help resolving this issue?

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above. 

  • 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.

  • Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

    I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade.  The fix is simple so read on.  After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped.  I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was.  For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
    Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader.  My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers.  I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers.  You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer.  That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed.  I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well.  The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense.  I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers.  That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
    ****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser.  If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open.  You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer.  The windows update prevents you from doing it.  At least that is my understanding. 
    The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser.  The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista.  A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista.  I hope this helps some avoid some headaches.  I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose. 
    I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

    Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader.  With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
    My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system.  For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version. 
    If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top.  However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web.  Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser.  At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

  • How can i set Adobe to open pdf from a secure website in the browser, it just pops up and asks to open save or download. we want it to just open the PDF directly in the browser with no popups, using IE 11

    Hi,
    We are running Internet explorer 11 with the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    have found when users login to a secure website and it has pdf links on there, it doesnt open these pdf directly in the browser, it wants to save them and then open them.
    is there anything we can change to allow them to be opened directly in the browser? 
    Thanks,

  • How can I open a PDF in my browser without downloading using Nitro Reader 3.5

    I use Nitro PDF exclusively for PDF viewing. I cannot figure out how to open a PDF in the Nitro Browser instead of always having to download everything.
    Not only PDF documents but software updates as well. Nothing opens up without downloading first.

    Hi,
    Please see the support article below:
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them#w_using-a-pdf-reader-plugin Using a PDF reader plugin]
    You need to ensure that the default Action for opening PDFs is to use the Nitro plugin rather than Saving the file.
    Please let me know if that doesn't help.

  • Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

  • How do I open a PDF file in my browser instead of in Adobe Reader?

    Windows XP SP3
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3
    SeaMonkey 2.19 (which has the same internal "guts" as Firefox 22)
    It used to be that, if I selected a link to a PDF file from a Web page, the file would open in my browser.  Now, it opens in an Adobe Reader window.  How do I restore the opening in my browser. 
    I have tried following http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them?s=Vie w+PDFs+in+browser&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_using-a-pdf-reader-plugin without success.  I noticed during those attempts that, if I go to [Edit - Preferences] on the Adobe Reader menu bar and then select Internet under Categories, the "Display PDF in browser" check box no longer exists.  

    Aha!  The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat.  This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list. 
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37:  nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37.  This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder. 
    Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218:  nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50. 
    As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat.  Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current.  Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying  upgrades or newer versions.
