Pdf forced dowload

I want to use the Firefox viewer for pdf files and have selected that choice under tools/options/applications. However, pdf files immediately move to save file. I just want to use the viewer. Thanks.

There are many security vulnerabilities that have been patched since version 21, see:
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/
If the font is small in the toolbar and bookmarks, that can be fixed through your Windows settings. Please see the tutorial:
* http://www.wintuts.com/How-to-change-font-size
If pages themselves have small font, you can also use [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]. This will help increase the size of web pages.
* To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
* To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
* To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
'''Using NoSquint:'''
#After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
#*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
#Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
#*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
As for those PDF files, what site are you downloading them from? Can they be viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader after saving to your computer?

Safari stucks when opening a pdf file, dowloading a compressed "rar" file

Salam everybody,
well here's the mess,
I got a lot of troubles when browsing internet using Safari. Honestly, it's a very good and quick browser, but it's stacks and close when trying to open a pdf file in w web page.
Other thing, when downloading from MegaShare, it stacks also when dealing with RAR files.
is there any plugins that I should add to fix this
Thank you.
salam

HI,
There are no Mac viruses in the wild.
I think the problem here is that you are running 10.3 (Panther). That limits you to how far you can go as far as Safari versions.
Unfortunately, an iMac G3 can't support the latest versions of web browser content including Flash.
Safari 4 requires:
▪ Any Mac running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Security Update 2009-002
▪ Mac with an Intel processor or a Power PC G5, G4, or G3 processor and built-in FireWire®
▪ 256MB of RAM
▪ Top Sites and Cover Flow on Mac OS X Tiger require a Quartz-Extreme compatible video card. More details

PDF force download via jsp not possible in IE ??????????????

Hi guys,
          I am providing a jsp page which when displayed will prompt the user to Open or Save or Cancel on a PDF file. For some reason, the code is not working in Internet Explorer. Its working in Opera, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox. But not working in IE. However, in my organisation, only IE is used. Therefore its paramount that it works in IE. Pls help me.
          Im attatching the snnipet of code that i am using.
          <%@ page language="java"%>
          <%@ page import="java.io.*"%>
          <%
          File file = new File ("C:\\Documents\\List.pdf");
          response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
          response.setHeader ("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=List.pdf");
          BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
          ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
          byte bytes[] = new byte[4096];
          int i = 0;
          try
          while ((i = in.read(bytes,0,4096)) != -1)
          outs.write(bytes,0,i);
          catch (IOException ioe)
          ioe.printStackTrace();
          in.close();
          outs.flush();
          outs.close();
          %>
          The problem is as follows:
          The name of the jpf that forwards the requet to the jsp is DownloadPDFController.jsp and the url in IE comes as http://localhost:8053/downloads/DownloadPDFController.jpf
          Now, when this jpf runs and the control comes to the jsp, the pop-up box comes with three options Open, Save and Cancel. But the name of the file to be saved is not the PDF file but the jpf file that is displaying the file.
          This means that what actually is happening is that , the pop download box is coming with the name DownloadPDFController.jpf. I cant understand why its trying to save the JPF.
          The funny bit is that this happens only in IE and not in any other browser.
          Please help !!
          Thanks guys,
          Nikhil

Put this at start:
          out.clear();
          if it does not work then... are you using post or get... use Post if you are using get...

Officejet 7610 margins are too big on my Mac

I'm on my second OfficeJet 7610 Wide Format, because HP couldn't fix this problem the first time, so they assumed it was a hardware issue. I don't think it is...
The default margins for this printer are as small as 0.13 inches (3.3mm) based on the specifications. I use a Mac that runs Maverick. I have no issue printing, only that I haven't found a way to reduce the margins down to the default dimensions above. The top and bottom of my prints cut everything off smaller than 0.60 inches. This is a real issue with PDFs, forcing me to chose the "shrink oversize pages" in order to not have the tops and bottoms cut off. I should be able to print at "actual size".
How can I change these margin settings globally?? Making manual margin adjustments in programs like Word, still cut off the tops and bottoms for anything smaller than 0.60 inches. Please help!!

What worked for me was selecting index card 8.5x11 on the mac print paper select options

Forcing preview to see downloaded pdf's automatically

forcing preview to see downloaded pdf's automatically.
Safari dowloads these but preview doesn't open it unless forced.
My other MB air downloads them and automatically opens them in th media viewer of Safari.
Workarounds?
Thanks in advance
MB air 11' OS 10.7

In Safari, open the menu named "Safari" then click Preferences and look on the General tab. At the bottom is "Open 'safe' files after downloading" -- do you have that option selected?

How to force refresh of data through browser or PDF?

We have the dashboard set to refresh every minute. We are pulling the data using XML from DB. When we are in browser and clear the browser cache and then reload the .swf... the data is updated. We haven't been able to figure out how to force the cache-clear and data refresh with either swf or pdf.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
Is the XML coming from a web page or a web server?
If yes then you can give this a go. To stop the caching mark your web page with extra tags to say it has expired.
HTML page example:
<HEAD>
< META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" />
< META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="0" />
</HEAD>
JSP example:
<%
// Stop Internet Explorer from caching the results of this page.
// We do this so that every time Xcelsius calls this page it see the latest results.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>

Matt

Any way to force a PDF file to be opened in "fit to screen" mode?

Is it possible to force a PDF to open "fit to screen" -- overriding whatever the end user has set as his default viewing preference -- while still allowing said user to zoom in and otherwise modify their viewing mode, AFTER the document has been opened?
In other words, I'd just like to force the initial state on the reader... not limit them to it after the document has been opened.
The reason being that most screens today are widescreen, so when you open a LETTER-format PDF file, most of the time you only see the top half. I'd like to force a document to be seen "fit to screen" so as to see ALL of it when opened... then, the user can do what he/she wants with it (and subsequent pages).
Thanks.

Hope the information did the job. However, be aware that you might also tick off some users that do not like default settings others like. I would suggest you consider your reason to override the user setting is good before you do it. If you really want a full screen view, maybe a landscape mode might be preferred. In that case, I suspect users would not mind the forcing of a full page.
You can also force full screen viewing, but such is confusing to some folks that don't think of hitting the ESC key to get out.

Forcing link in one web based PDF to open link to another PDF in new browser window

We have created a form using LiveCycle Designer ES2. The form is found on our website and is used by faculty to submit proposal information to our office. Depending upon the answers to questions in the form if they say yes we had a link to another form that we would like them to complete and submit with the original PDF that they are working on. The problem that we are having is that when they click on the form it opens the new PDF and all the data that they had entered in the original PDF is gone once the new form opens up. Is there a way to force the new PDF via the use of some scripting that can go along with the link, or via the use of a button that can force the new form to open in a new browser window? It is impractical for us to expect 1500 faculty members to change their browser settings to open new PDF's in a new window. We have removed the links for now and have just put in text that says if they select yes they need to go out and complete the additional form.
The form we are using can be found here: http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf
The first three questions on page two where we reference the other forms is where we would like to be able to add the links to the new forms and have them open in a new browser window. When the form is downloaded and opened in Adobe Acrobat/Reader the links functioned correctly, it just did not function properly when it opens in a browser.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in regards to this issue.

I used a button, removed the border/fill properties and underlined the caption to look like a URL.
The click event is...
// form1.page1.subform1.urlBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.launchURL("http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf",true);
The PDF will open in a new window or tab, depending upon the browser configuration.

On a web page when I open a pdf file it says download on the window and then suddenly starts opening multiple firefox blank pages I cant stop it except by using force quit - help

multiple blank firefox pages open one after the other, can't stop them. only solution is to use "force quit" I am on an iMac. Never had this until today. Has happened now 3 times! its scary/
== This happened ==
Just once or twice

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions ("File handling in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2" and "Reset Download Actions")

I am having problems with the Preview application. When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Thanks for any help

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

I wish to upload a PDF file to my website but Firefox 3.6.12 reports it as type application/force-download and NOT application/pdf, WHY?

My website has been running for many months, and as part of the site users can upload PDF documents to share with others. The last successful upload was 5th Nov, but to-day my upload was rejected because Firefox returned the document type as application/force-download rather than application/pdf. Uploads work fine with IE8.
The site uses PHP to check extension and document type and, as I mentioned, has worked fine for many months. I have even attempted to upload the same document that succeeded on the 5th, but again Firefox returns application/force-download as the document type.
Why the change?

Just found a solution.
In Tools, Options, Application Firefox listed TWO options against Adobe Acrobat Documents; the apprliaction/pdf and application/force-download. I have deleted mimeTypes.rdf and allowed Firefox to re-create the file. All works as it should now!

Firefox won't open PDF files after I removed older version of PDF-xChange Viewer and installed the lastest version of PDF-xChange Viewer. MS Explorer which I am now force to use works OK. I have checked the Applications window in Tools/Options and it l

Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything. I get the message in the Download Error window which says...."could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Is the same error which I get when I attempt to open a PDF file on a webpage using the Firefox browser....Explorer works OK so I am now forced to Explorer to read PDF files via a browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing a old copy of PDF-xChange Viewer and updating to the last version

The error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system.

Can you force a link inside a .pdf to open the "linked to" document in a new window?

When I have a link inside my .pdf document - linking to another .pdf document or to a Word document - how can I force the linked-to document to open in a new window?
I have a web site (business internal, so unfortunately I cannot point to it). My HTML menu has links to .pdf documents - no problem. However, once I open those .pdfs, they contain links to other .pdfs and to Word documents. Clicking on these links, which reside inside my .pdfs, opens the "linked-to" docs in the same page. How can I force them to open in a brand new frame?
All of my .pdfs were originally created in Word, and in the Word versions, the links DO open into new frames. I am not sure why, when I convert them to .pdfs, they lose this feature.
Can anyone help?

Hi Magenta,
Would you mind reposting this question over on the Acrobat boards? You've posted in the AIR forum and you'll have better luck with this over there.
Thanks,

Servlet forces a download of pdf instead of displaying it

Hi,
First I apologize for the cross posting, but I'm in need of an answer ASAP, and I'm not sure what forum best suits this problem. I have a servlet that retrieves a pdf from a database and displays it. This servlet has been working fine up until recently, when I tested it on SunOne App server. I have been using Tomcat to build my app, and recently deployed it to SunOne to test it on there, but now when I try and view it, I'm forced to download and save the file to my computer. Having tested this servlet app on Jserv and Tomcat(both working fine), I'm guessing that the problem might reside in some kind of SunOne server configuration. Is this possible? I know very little about that side of things. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Are u saying that the computer with SunOne installed should have Acrobat installed aswell, even if I'm accessing the application from another computer which has acrobat installed. Here is some of the code:
long length = 0;
int len = 0;
Blob b = resultset.getBlob(1) ;
InputStream is = b.getBinaryStream();
length = b.length();
byte[] x = new byte[10*1024];
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setContentLength((int)length);
DataOutputStream o = new DataOutputStream(resp.getOutputStream());
while ((len = is.read(x)) != -1)
o.write(x, 0, len);
o.flush();
o.close();
Thanks
