Hi,
We have 2010 search results page for searching files. When the search result is a pdf - the icon shown is not pdf icon and when click the file name it opens the properties page instead the file itself. What should be set? thanks a lot

It looks like you didn't register PDF file type in your search service application.
Go to Central Administration->Manage Service Application. Click on the name of your search service application and check file types (link in the left column)

Strange Behaviour when opening pdf files using search results

Hi
I have observed inconsistencies between opening a pdf file when in the document library itself (it opens in a browser - good).
However, when I click on a the same file in my search results having used Search and the Search Centre it opens in the adobe reader. I would rather it opened in a browser rather than the adobe reader.
The only difference I can see is that when opening from a document library the url ends in ".pdf", whereas when opening from the search results the url ends in ".pdf#search=<search string>.
Anybody any ideas ?
Regards

Hi Nigel,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open pdf from search result in browser.
Firstly , permissive Browser File Handing in Central Administration, you can refer to the link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18858.sharepoint-2013-how-to-view-pdf-files-in-browsers.aspx
Whether you are using OWA for SharePoint 2013. If Office Web Apps is not used for Search results of PDFs, the opening of PDFs in the browser passes the search terms into Adobe. So, if you don’t use OWA, please configure it for SharePoint 2013.
More information, please refer to:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

File Share search results not opening in Chrome or Firefox

Today I crawled a portion of our file shares without incident. Everything is looking good. Except I cannot open any file share links in Chrome or Firefox. IE works flawlessly. Is this known behavior?

File system search result link does not open on Firefox or Chrome
Summary: The
file system connector shows URLs with "file://" protocol in search results. However, Firefox and Chrome don't open such links when clicked in result page.
Cause: Firefox and Chrome doesn't open "file://" links from pages that originated from outside the local machine.
This is a design decision made by those browsers to improve security.
Workaround: In order to enable local file access for Firefox and Chrome, please follow the steps as described below.
Please note with security risks caused by enabling such access.
Firefox:
Open Firefox.
Enter about:support to the address bar.
Click Open Directory for Profile
Directory.
Create or open user.js and add the following lines:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "file:///[[PUT
SERVER NAME HERE]]";);
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled",
"allAccess");
Restart Firefox

How to make Firefox open the search results in a new tab instead of on top of already opened page?

When I do the search through the search window on the top right corner, the search results open on top of the page I'm viewing at that moment, instead of in a new tab, so I have to keep remembering to open a new tab before each search. How do I change this, that the results would open up in a new tab?

about:config
set browser.search.openintab to true

Search results open a new window

Hi,
I am using SES 10.1.8.3.
By default, the search results open a new window.
# configure whether search results open in a new window
ses.qapp.results.new_window=true
But, i want only the documents (doc,pdf...etc) only open a new window. The pages are no need open a new window. Is it possible? How will do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can modify the XSLT to achieve the result.
In that file check for the file types and decide to open it in a new window or not.

S4BB Audiobook won't work - this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again

I bought the french audiobook J'accuse from S4BB and it simply doesn't work. I sought help from Blackberry and got the message that BB doesn't support 3rd party apps. I contacted S4BB, who by the way says they have a warranty on their apps, and got the email back that "for the issues and refund you would need to contact BlackBerry as the only way you can download to the playbook is through App World we do not have access to their system."
I have deleted the app and re-installed, uninstalled and re-installed, searched permissions (not listed there), and it simply does not work. It says "this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again".
I put a warning comment on blackberry app world that the app doesn't work and that support is hard to get, and Blackberry has removed both the comment and the very low rating I have this. I found this to be the most disturbing part.
Is there anything I can do to either get this app to work, or get a refund on this app?
Also, why was this comment and rating deleted - this seems to be contrary to the nature of comment sections on apps and does not do a service to your customers who may download this app which doesn't work?

Try right clicking on the installer and select run as administrator.

The pdf file that i am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel. How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

Hi,
The pdf file that I am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel. How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

Hi christinek,
Can you please tell me how the PDF that you're converting was created? Sometimes, PDF files created by third-party PDF generators (that is non-Adobe applications), don't contain all the tags and file information necessary to ensure a proper conversion to Excel. There are no settings that you can change in ExportPDF to adjust how the file is imported.
You can tell how the PDF was created by choosing File > Properties in Reader and looking for the PDF Producer on the Description tab. If the PDF was created by a third-party, it just may not be written to spec. Please see Support Policy for PDF Files created by non Adobe applications.
Best,
Sara

Hi Mac Attack,
My computer will not disconnect from the internet. It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy
Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.
Have a look at your settings in Safari > Preferences. Especially General and Privacy.
Reset Safari to remove cookies and other stored data.
System Preferences > General
Have a look at your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
Call back with more questions.

When combining pdfs, the 1st page of the first file is lost (acrobat standard 9.4)

Hi,
When i combine two files in acrobat 9.4, the process loses the 1st page of the first file. I have to manually copy in the missing page from the original.
Does anyone have any workarounds/fixes?
The process used to work ok with adobe acrobat standard v7.0.8.
The two files are PDF 1.4 and PDF1.5 standards.
Thanks
Raj

I am not very clear at which step you are facing issue. Below is the sequence in order to scan more pages from Acrobat:
1. Launch Acrobat. Click menu File->Create PDF->From Scanner....
2. "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear. Select your scanner installed in Scanner dropdown. Check 'Prompt for scanning more pages' checkbox as you want to scan more than one page. Click Scan button in "Acrobat Scan" dialog.
3. Now scanner UI will appear. Make setting like color mode/resolution and click Scan button(or may be Accept button) in this dialog. (This is scanner specific ui)
4. After this scanning will happen and "Acrobat Scan" dialog will appear with "Scan is Complete" and "Scan more pages" option.
5. Select "Scan more pages" option and click OK in this dialog to scan more pages.
6. Now again scanner UI will appear as in step 3 above. Make your settings and proceed.
Do you see scanner UI or "Acrobat Scan" dialog in step6? Are you not able to click Scan(or Accept) button in scanner UI?

I have newer pdf files that show the 1st page of the document as the icon instead of just the logo.

Is there a way to save the other pdf files so they also show the 1st page of the document?

Compress it as a zip file and add the zip file to the mail as an enclosure.
In the Finder control (right) click on the pdf file to bring up the Finder's contextual menu and select Compress. A .zip file will be created in the same directory as the pdf file. Then add that zip to your mail message. The receiver will of course have to expand the zip on his or here end. But zip is fairly general and woks on both macs and windows.

Acrobat 8 Professional can't find the scanning device when creating the second page of the PDF file

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so please excuse me if there is anything I need to know.
I am a Mac User and I have the whole CS3 suit installed.
Everything works just great except there is this little thing bugs me around.
When I try to use Acrobat Professional 8.0 to create a PDF file through my scanner, (samsung SCX-4725FN, it's scan/print/fax combined) I wouldn't be able to continue to scan to the second page. To be more specific, I have no problem to scan and create the first page of the PDF file, when it asks me if I want to scan and create another page, when I confirmed it, I wouldn't be able to see the scanner in the "Acrobat Scan" window. The "scan" botton stay faded, therefore I can't continue. If I click "cancel" and try to create another PDF file from the scanner, the smae problem will show up again. The only way that I can continue to scan is to quit the program from the menu bar and restart it, then I can start to create the next '1st page only' PDF file from the scanner. I had to do this rapidly to get all the pages scanned first, and then combine them to get my work done. This is a pain in the butt. I have downloaded the most updated scanner driver, and patched Acrobat to version 8.1.2 , but the problem still exist. I have tested the scanner with PS CS3, the scanner works just fine. So I assume there is a glitch here with the software. Can anyone help me please?
