PDF files open in new window.

Whenever I click the "Open" button in Reader 9, (Windows 7 - 64-bit),
it opens the document in a new instance of Reader, which of course,
makes the menu item "Window" useless. How can I get docs to open
in the same window? I don't see any setting for this in the preferences.

"Make sure the Open new windows in a new tab instead is checked" - it is.
issue still not solved,
ps if you click on a pdf on the above link do you get the same problem or is it just me..?

HTML Container - pdf-file opens a new window

I use the ITS Webservice PZ04.
There is included a html container who shows the pdf-file inside this area.
Now I have the effect, that this pdf-file will opena a new window, but not inside the html container!?
First action before I have had this effect was the MS question-alert 'How you will open this file' Open/Download/Cancel - you know. - it never done before -
What can I do to open my pdf-file inside the html container? It runs some times.
Thanks!

thank you for your answer, but it wasn't the solution.
I don't open the iView in a new window.
I open the iView (as IAC WebService via ITS) and the applacation generated a html container with pdf file!
And this pdf-file opens in a new window.
The Application runs up to now very good.
I think any value was changed and I don't know which.
It's possible the modification solved under MS or adobe!?
Solution: First Deinstallation and then Installation of Acrobate Reader.

Open a pdf file in a new window

How do you have a pdf file open up in a new window in
DW8?

If you are coding a page with a HTML Transitional doctype,
you can link to
the PDF file, and assign a target="_blank" option to the
link. If you are
coding a page with an XHTML doctype, then you would need to
do this
differently if you want the page to validate.

Display PDF files in a NEW window

hi there
i offer PDF files to download on most of my webpages. example: http://www.khanomTOPproperty.com/khanomTOPproperty.com/northofkhanom.html
i would like them to load in the browser first (not automatically download), but in a NEW WINDOW, and then give the visitor the option to download it (which is the easy part of it).
even if i don't focus on opening in a new window (which is what i have now online, to make it available at last) the problem is that not all browsers display the file. some download it immediately. it took me quite a while to find out how different browsers handle it, and since it is very different i made a "browser ABC" help page on my site, explaining the different behaviors of browsers (http://www.khanomTOPproperty.com/khanomTOPproperty.com/browser_help.html). safari is great as usual and displays the file, so one can downoad it then (or not), but google chrome (and others) immediately download them without displaying them. by the way, i did NOT zip the files.
so, how to make it sure that the files are displayed (not directly downloaded) in every browser, and, as mentioned above, i would love to have it in a NEW WINDOW( or tab, but better window), to make it easy to go back to the previous page without having to reload.
and yes, i too think ISSUU is great in terms of display, i tried it but immediately forgot it when i found out that the visitor has to log in first (actually become a member of ISSUU) before being able to download - and i don't want to force my visitors to such things - the same way i will never have any advertisement on any of my pages - i don't want to make visitors angry...
thanks again, i know - lots of questions, but the result of a few weeks iWeb work, and i did not find the answers in the forum yet.

hi wyodor
oh wow, you answer almost faster than i can ask - that's what i call turbo.
sounds very simple, and i tried it. the problem is that it is not so easy to make this link. i tried to find one of the several PDF files i have to make a test, but even this was not so easy. in cPanel i have a window which pops up when i open the file manager. it gives the option to access through
a) home directory
b) web root (public_html/www)
c) public FTP root (public-ftp)
d) document root for:
(and then the domain names)
which one is the right one to enter if i want to go to my PDF files? yes, OK, not an iWeb question, but maybe you can...
anyway. i managed somehow to get to the PDF files. to my surprise i have seen that each file is there not only one time, but twice (the second time with a "_1"PDF. any idea what happened there? i only need one, do i?
OK. so i found one, localized it but still can not get the link for it. the only link i find (in the browser address bar) is the FOLDER where the PDF files are located. i don't think this will do it, as i guess i have to specify the file exactly, otherwise how can iWeb know which file i want?
how can i get a link to this file?
additional question: whenever i update my website, will this path be remembered? i guess so.
practically this means i will (should i be successfull and be able to create a link to these files) have to upload the PDF files BEFORE i can create the link in iWeb, Yes?
you see, i am really a professional (...) - if i would i would probably switch to the other side and help greenhorns like me in the forum.
by the way - are aou working for apple or is this just some sort of hobby?
thanks again and warm regards
george

.ics files open in new window instead of downloading

Hello -
When I click to download a linked .ics (calendar) file, instead of downloading the linked .ics file, it opens the contents of the file in a new browser window (and all of the info is garbled with extra characters).
When I right click to save the linked file, it lets me download it.
Any idea why this might be happening?

The Work Protect modes do not seem to affect the 'Open in a headerless portal window' iViews which are opening with the banner and TLN.
For ESS Appraisal document, I was able to fix the problem of the external window having the Banner and TLN by using transaction lpd_cust.
The problem still exists for our Business Packages MSS, SRM, Course Administration, and Instructor/Tutor.
Does anyone know how to correct the 'headerless portal window' so that it does not include the Theme banner and TLN.
Thanks,
D. Maupin

PDF links - open in new window

I have a PDF document that has web links that were created in InDesign, then exported as a PDF. Once in the PDF, the links are fine but I would like for a new browser window to open when they are clicked rather than within the same browser window. I can't seem to find this in the preferences or properties, etc? How do I do this? Thank you!

Is the link an HTML link, or within a PDF? Is it a URL link or a file link?

Link to URL -- pdf should open in new window - Error

Hi experts,
I have a Web Dynpro Application with an ALV and a link to url in one column. The code is ok. It works fine. When I click on the URL a new browser window opens with the correct URL, but I get an Error --> "The requested URL could not be retrieved".
It should be a pdf. But Acrobat Reader does not open. If I put the URL in Firefox Browser, it works perfect. Acrobat Reader opens and shows the pdf.
The same happens when I use Windows 2000 System with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106.
I have normally Windows XP with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180 with sp2.
What can that be? On both computers I have the same version of Acrobat Reader with the same configuration.
Had someone of you this problem, too? Who can help?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Ingmar

I answered it myself. I had to look that for the called server no proxyserver will be used...

Open PDF file in a new browser window

I have a PDF file on the harddrive and I call a function from BalusC :
public static void downloadPDF(FacesContext facesContext, String path, String fileName)
util.Logger.append("Path = " + path );
util.Logger.append("file name = " + fileName);
ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) externalContext.getResponse();
File file = new File(path, fileName);
BufferedInputStream input = null;
BufferedOutputStream output = null;
try
//open file
util.Logger.append("1");
input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), 10240);
//Init servlet response
util.Logger.append("2");
response.reset();
util.Logger.append("3");
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
util.Logger.append("4");
response.setContentLength((int)file.length());
util.Logger.append("5");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
util.Logger.append("6");
output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), 10240);
util.Logger.append("7");
//write file contents to response
byte[] buffer = new byte[10240];
int length;
util.Logger.append("8");
while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0)
output.write(buffer, 0, length);
util.Logger.append("9");
//finalize task
output.flush();
util.Logger.append("10");
catch (IOException e)
util.Logger.append("reporting.Utilities :: downloadPDF :: " + e.getMessage());
finally
util.Logger.append("finally");
close(output);
close(input);
//inform JSF that it doesn't need to handle response
//this is very important, otherwise you will get the following exception in logs:
//java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot forward after response has been comitted
facesContext.responseComplete();
private static void close(Closeable resource)
if (resource != null)
try
resource.close();
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
This works like a charm, but the problem is that the PDF is opened in current window instead of a new one. I checked posts on this problem on this forum but i haven't found any answer to my problem. As you can see i added some 'idiot' logs just to make sure i have no errors. I see them all in my log file and there is absolutely no error. I simply see the PDF in the same window.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you.
(Pls tell me if you need any other information)

My problem is that the parent form has 4 buttons and a grid.
3 buttons are Add/Edit/Delete for records in the grid. Only the 4th button is the Print report and this is the only one i need to open in another page.
Even if I create another page and I navigate to it, setting target of newly created page to open a new window will bring me the problem of having 2 windows to close once users wants to close the PDF which is kind of awkward.
What is your advice?
Thank you
Marius

I need to save a file as a PDF but when Illustrator needs to open a new window (ie, when I have to select the location the file is saved to) the window opens for a split second before disappearing. It is the same when trying to open a file or any time Illustrator needs to open a new window. The window appears for a split second then vanishes. From what I've tried, it is only Illustrator doing it. Photoshop displays this error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." when I first try and open a file but will only do it the first time and then it works ok. Indesign is working fine.
I've tried re-installing Illustrator and Photoshop, restarting my computer but the issue is still there. Is there anything else I can do myself or is there a chance it is an issue with my computer?

I am also having this problem. The issue appears with both my rMacBook pro as well as my 2012 imac. Very frustrating.

Reader 9.3.1 does not open pdf in current browser; opens in new window

When clicking on a pdf link in a browser, is there a way to open the pdf in the current browser as oppose to the pdf file opening in a new window?
Browser: Microsoft IE
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
I read that this feature has been removed by Adobe (http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/2008/09/mdi_vs_sdi_in_acrobat.html). Is this still true?

Thank you for responding. Your question is where you've got me??? It has
always just opened. Where do I find a feature like that?

Open file in a new window thru custom global link

Hi All,
I have created a custom global link. I want to open a PDF file (present at OA_HTML) from that link.
So, I created a function for that link having below properties:
Web HTML : file_name.pdf
Type: SSWA plsql function that opens a new window (Kiosk Mode)
File is opening successfully but in the same window. I want to open that file in a new window.
Please suggest some solution for this.
--Sushant

I have created a blank page and write logic to download file in that.
Later, on click on global link, navigated the same to that blank page. So, open save dialog is coming on click of custom global link.

Can't open pdf files in Safari for Windows

Hi, I haven't been able to open pdf files in Safari - each time I click on a pdf link, a new tab opend and then a pop-up window says "can't open Adobe" (or something like that), and then Safari crashes. I've read that the solution is to install Adobe Reader 8, but I can't because I already have Adobe Acrobat which doesn't seem to work with safari. Does anyone know a way to view pdf files in Safari for windows?

Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

I can't open a pdf file in a browser window. I have to save it before I can open it. Why can't I open the file without first having to save it?

Anytime that I click on a pdf file in a browser window, the file will not open automatically. I am forced to save it on my computer first and then access the file. When I click on it after it is saved locally, it opens as it should.

If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
-Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
-Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

Hyperlink to open a file in a new window

I have been trying to format the hyperlink to a file so it opens on a new window. iWeb allows us to check the box 'open in new window' only for links to external pages; when we insert a link to a file, I realize the app uploads the file to the website, but I could not find a way to have it open in a new window. Is there a way we can get to and format the hyperlink reference?

1. Create the link that connects to the file (pdf or whatever) on a separate page of your site on iWeb.
2. Publish your site, then go on the internet to the page that has this link. Keep this page open on your Safari or some web browser you use.
3. Go back to your iWeb and create another link on a different page (home page, for example) of your site, and connect this link to the URL of the open page in step 2 with "Link to: An External Page" option. Click to choose "Open link in new window" on the Inspector panel. Name this link that has something to do with the file of interest in step 1.
4. On your iWeb, go the page created in step 1 and make sure "include page in navigation menu" is not selected or checked in the Inspector panel so that web visitor will not get to this page directly.
5. Publish your site. Now go to your site on the web to the page in step 3. Click on the link and it will open a new page with the link that has the file attached. Visitor can now open the file in that new window.
• It seems complicated, but you'll get it.
• You may need to refresh the pages on Safari to make it work if you have left Safari on throughout your work.
• For this method, you have to dedicate a page to carry the link that connects to the file.
Example: I create a page that has list of links to the files for viewing. These files are weekly reports. Each file is named by its date such "March 4, 2011" "March 11, 2011" etc.. This page will be hidden from visitors at first when they visit my site. Then I create on my home page a link called "Weekly Reports" that open to "External Page" via the option I have in Inspector. Even though it says "External Page" I use the URL of the hidden page containing all the actual files. On this "hidden" page, I also has a link called "Weekly Report" but this link is connected directly to this page. I do this only because I want the "hidden" page to look like my home page in terms of displayed links.

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?
