Parameters for opening PDF files in a browser

I read some of the posts about making a text link from an html page to a specific location in a pdf document in the browser. I set up the parameters, as I understand it, according to the document "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The result from my test took me to the top of page 1, not to the bookmark on page 3 that I specified. See the link below. What is wrong with the parameters?

You can also go to the website: http://www.tabardtheatre.org/audition.html and click on the text link (in blue).

The PDF Open Parameters do not contain the option to link directly to a bookmark, as was mentioned, but I've developed a script that can add this functionality to your files. Have a look here, if you're interested: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/acrobat-link-to-specific-bookmark-in.html

Parameters for Opening PDF Files in Version XI

I have an application that opens a PDF document using Reader Version 7 - 10 at a particular page.
In Version XI this feature has been removed or changed and I can't find any documentation on Opening parameters for latest version.

Due to your answer I have done some further testing and it appears Version XI does not accept spaces in the file name.
If I remove the spaces in the file name it works fine.
I have tried enclosing the file name in single and double quotes but no luck.
I am using Delphi 7 and calling the routine Shellexecute with application parameter
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
and run parameters
/A"Page=33"C:\MP5\Manuals\1145009 Operating Instructions.PDF
The above works fine with version 7-10.
With version XI it fails to find the file.

What can I do to rectify the situation in which Firefox will not open pdf files in the browser, even though I have already used all the help suggestions to no avail?

I have tried everything Mozilla has suggested. Still when I click on a pdf, I get the message that the browser cannot open a pdf. I have gone through the help protocol, and it does not work.
I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, and still not able to open pdf files within the browser.
What else do I do, except go to IE or Chrome and just leave Firefox completely???

A possible cause is the presence of a PDF plugin from an older Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
See [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Issue with opening pdf file from web browser

I have Acrobat Pro ver 6 and Adobe Reader 9.1 on a computer. when my user tries to open up a pdf from the web he is getting the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a WEb Browser. Adbe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
What also happens is that Acrobat Pro ver 6 opens up and nothing is there.
I am not sure why he is getting that message since Reader 9.1 is installed.
Can any one shed some light on this for me.
This user needs to have Acrobat and Reader on his system. I understand that there are issues with having both.
Also he has it set up so that any PDF is opening using the Reader 9.1.
Thanks,

Your PC's default reader configuration for embedded PDFs has become confused, due to multiple Adobe PDF document solutions installed on one PC.
Solution 1:
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Make sure that the correct Default data value is set for the path where Adobe Reader or Acrobat are installed.
The default installation values are:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
or
"C:\Program Files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (not sure about this path. Check on your PC to be sure)
depending on whether Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat is installed.
Solution 2:
Configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application.
If you are using Firefox to browse the web, you can change this setting in Firefox by going to:
Tools > Options
Click on the "Applications" Tab.
The first item in the list should be "Adobe Acrobat Document". Under the Action list, click the drop down arrow and select the application you want to read PDFs within the web browser. Click OK, and you should be done.
If you're using Internet Explorer to view PDFs, try the below steps.
After you configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application, the browser starts the helper application in a separate window and displays PDF files within that window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader both include a preference that lets you specify Acrobat or Adobe Reader as the helper application.
To configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application:
Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Choose Edit > Preferences.
Select Internet on the left.
Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.
Quit Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
The next time you select a link to a PDF file in the browser, a dialog box asks what you would like to do with the file. If you select Open It, the browser opens the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader (the helper application); if you select Save It To Disk, the browser saves the PDF file to your hard drive.

How can I open pdf files in safari browser without installing Adobe reader?

I do not wish to use adobe reader. I just uninstalled it and now I can't view pdf files in preview when attempting to open the file in safari browser. How can set safari to open any pdf files using preview application?

Copy the text below, including the initial /
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Switch to Finder, then use the Go menu - Go to Folder command & paste in the text, clicking Go afterwards.
A Finder window should open, showing various plug-in files. Trash any that are for Adobe or PDF. You'll be asked for an admin name & password.

Adobe Reader 8.1.1 won't open PDF files from IE7 Browser

We are using Windows XP SP2 on our network and have recently installed Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and IE7. However this has thrown up a large amount of problems as now any link, for example 'http://somesite.co.uk/somepdf.pdf' will not open a pdf file, just a blank browser page! Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it, or have come across this also?
Thanks in advance,
Marcus Arnold

Can't open pdf files in Safari browser windows (bank website window) after I installed Adobe Reader 11update on my Mac last night

I previously had Adobe Reader 9, which worked perfectly.

Here's EXACTLY what happens: I am in a Safari browser website and try to open a pdf file (my bank statement). When I click on the link I get this message in a black window: "Adobe Reader. Before viewing a PDF file in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." So I launch Adobe Reader but there is no End User License Agreement to accept. I have done this several times with no result. I am using a MacBook Air with OS 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5.

I cannot open pdf files in my browser

Adobe Reader 10.1.1 will not open pdf files from the web. Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.6. No problem with previously downloaded files.

Hi Vikram,
I have this trouble in Firefox, and Safari, and Chrome. I can no longer open .pdf documennts on line in any browser configuration.
I have tried serveral browser versions and serveral Reader versions, same result. Running Mac OS 10.6.8, just after a full rebuild and this is the most annoying result.
I do have the above suggestion checked, which I believe is the default setting, as I was always able to use a single cilck to open all .pdf files. Noticed this first with download of most current Reader. Currently have 9.5.2.
It began when I installed most current version after the rebuild of the OS.
Any help would be gratefully appeciated.
Thanks,
Jay

Can't get Firefox to NOT open PDF files in the browser

I would like Firefox to always ask whether I want to open or save a PDF document. Instead, it always displays the file in the browser and pops up a toolbar. In Tools/Options/Applications pdf files are not listed. However "PDF Xchange Viewer Document" (my default PDF viewer) is listed and the action is set to "Always ask"; yet it never asks. Why?

Such actions are usually linked to a specific MIME type and if Firefox doesn't obey and ask what to do then you may have created this action for the wrong MIME type.

Open PDF files in Firefox browser

how do you open a pdf file in OS 10.9 firefox browser?

Firefox uses a proprietary "PDFJSViewer" since version 20. If you have Reader installed on your Mac, and you want to use it instead:
Type "about:config" in the address bar.
You'llsee this:
Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and open the config page.
Type "PDFJS" in the search bar.
Look for pdfjs.disabled.
Click it, then right click and choose "Toggle" to change it to "true".
Close the config page. Click Firefox>Preferences (Cmd+,)
Under Applications, find Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document Format [PDF])
Select Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plugin or Adobe Reader NPAPI Pluign, depending on whether you have Acrobat installed or just the free Reader.

I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Opening pdf file in a browser window.

I have a requirement to open a pdf file in a new browser window after onClick of a link. It is not the url of the pdf file. Actually the pdf file is generated dynamically by reading a blob column from the database and converting into a byte array and writing it to the outputstream. This is the code
Currently on click of the link we are opening a jsp file which has the following code. We have put target=_blank in the link.
String fileName = "DownLoadFile.pdf";
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=\""+ fileName + "\"");
response.setContentLength(retrieveDocumentValue.getDocumentObj().length);
try{
ServletOutputStream out1 = response.getOutputStream();
out1.write(retrieveDocumentValue.getDocumentObj());
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
out.println("IO Exception");
e.printStackTrace();
}The problem is that,It is opening two window, one is an blank browser window and other pdf file in the Acrobat reader application? How can we open the file directly in the browser only without opening the Acrobat reader application externally?
