PDF go to [Save As] page instead of opening.

When I click on a PDF, to open it from the web, it takes me to a [Save As] page instead of opening. I want my PDF's to open when I select them. How do I make PDF's open when clicked?

To be blunt, you can't.
How a PDF is viewed is controlled by the viewer's computer. Their settings decide whether the PDF is displayed within the browser, opens in Acrobat outside the browser or prompts them to download it.

Link to .pdf asset is jumping to top of page instead of opening .pdf

I am going crazy trying to figure out why one of my pages won't open its links. It appears in the lower left corner of the browser to be linked to the correct asset, and if you right click the link and select to open the link in a new page it opens the .pdf fine. But when you left click on the link then it just jumps to the top of the page as if it were anchored to the top of the page or something. I don't understand it. I've tried erasing the link, erasing the asset and relinking but it I can't figure it out.
Here is the site:
http://www.generationsprimarycare.com/physical-forms.html#peforms
On the right column, the top link is fine, the rest of the links that are linked to .pdfs in the right column don't work correctly
Thanks a bunch to anyone who can help.

Firefox downloads html page instead of opening it

I have an Apache web server (2.2.24) on a Red Hat Linux server (RHEL 5.8). On the web site I have a link to an html page that is not in the web directory, but is on the file system. When I click on the link to go to the web page, Firefox will not render the html page within the URL of the web site--it instead wants to download the html page before it displays the html. So, instead of getting http://mywebsite.com/help.html I get file:///C:Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Temp/Help.html. In internet explorer, the web page opens just fine: http://mywebsite.com/help.html--it does not try and download the file

Our httpd.conf file has DefaultType text/plain
The web page in question has a header of:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Mozilla/4.04 [en] (X11; I; HP-UX B.10.20 9000/879) [Netscape]">
And yet Firefox still wants to download the page instead of render it directly in the browser :-(

I have a problem a tabs each time I open a fresh webapge it will open up in a previously open page instead of opening in a fresh page. WHY? BTW Open in a new windows instead is ticked

I have two tabs up "facebook and download.com" now if I click on a fresh page I hope to see a 3rd tab open up but no! it just opens up in one of the two tabs I have already have open.
I have no idea why this is!

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link in.<br />
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.
* Hold down the Ctrl key and left-click a link or middle-click a link to open a link or bookmark in a new tab.
* Hold down the Shift key in addition to the Ctrl left-click or middle-click to toggle loading in the background.
* Hold down Shift and left-click a link to open a link in a new window.
Links that do not specify a target window open by default in the current tab.

Safari downloading pages instead of opening them

so, this is weird. in the last two days, safari has occasionally downloaded a page rather than opening it. my download manager opens up, and a new file appears on my desktop. opening it gives me garbage.
there is no pattern to it--it happens maybe 20% of the time, and it doesn't happen to the same pages consistently.
it happens both when i follow links and when i type in urls directly.
anyone got any ideas? thanks!

When you say download manager do you mean a third party manager such as speed download? Or do you mean the safari download system?

PDF opens "save as" window instead of opening (in Firefox)

Hi all,
I am using Captivate 5.5 to publish to .swf.
In my project I have a button set to open a URL or file, with a path to a PDF file.
It used to work fine in all browsers, the PDF would open in Reader or in a tab when the button was clicked.
However I just noticed that when using Mozilla Firefox, clicking the button now opens a "save as" window to save the PDF file, rather than display it. What happened?
Behaviour is fine in Chrome or IE.
Issue occurs whether the PDF is set to open in the actual or a new window, and whether the project is set to continue playing or not.
The project is entirely published and read locally.
I am at a loss. Can anyone give me a tip on how to configure my button to work the same in all browsers?
Thanks.

Never mind, I found the answer.
A matter of setting the Firefox options so that PDF files open in Reader or whatnot rather than prompt to save.

Prompts to open or save aspx page instead of loading page

On some ASPX pages (Particularly SharePoint) Firefox prompts me to save or open file with Visual Studio.

Thanks for the reply. I found the answer. The problem was that I was attempting to configure session state in SharePoint according to Microsofts directions. Turns out that the directions given do not work and actually corrupt your SharePoint environment.
Thanks again for the assist.

New Folder link in Ribbon menu, load home page instead of open Folder Name dialog box

In SharePoint 2013,
I have created new site collection under "\sites" managed path. Then I have created Sub-Site called "\sites\abc\Mobile" under it.
Now,
Site collection - http://sharepointweb/sites/abc and
Sub-Site - http://sharepointweb/sites/abc/Mobile
Site Template: Team Site / Publishing Site
After creation of the above, go to sub-site -> click on "Document" library -> Click on "New Folder" under "File" tab.
when click on New Folder link, it shows home page in dialog box instead of new folder name popup.
This is only happening for "Mobile" named sub-site under "/sites" managed path. Please try from your side and let me know.
May I know what the issue is? Please clarify.

Hi and welcome to the Blackberry Forums
1) When ever I have a message notification (be it missed call one or an sms alert),
it becomes difficult navigating in the "Messages" box : the reason is it opens
always in the last place where I left it. So I have to press Menu & then scroll down
to "View Folder" (pressing "v" also helps) & then it says "Select Folder".
Not, when you have a new message and you go to the message folder you can see the last place where you left, but if you press T (top) you can see the new messages. (always the new messages are in the top and you can't change this)
2) How to change the HOME PAGE of the Browser.
Go to the browser, one you are in press menu, options, browser configuration, and you can change the home page on bottom.
3) to extend the battery life, I read that all applications should be closed using the
"Close" option in its Menu. To see which all applications are currently running, one
should check on "Switch Application" - if you see application their, then it is open.
The problem I am having is some applications (appearing in S/A mode) I was able
to close (eg games etc), but some are not getting closed eg :messages, browser,
bb messenger.
Please read this link to maximize battery and memory
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB14320
There are five applications can't be closed
Blackberry Messenger, HOME, phone, browser, and mail
Thanks
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

I want a new window to open a blank page, instead it opens start page and cant grab icon in new tab to set as home page.

New tab blank page icon is not selectable and therefore I can not click and drag it to home page icon. Other pages work, but not blank pages. I do not want Firefox Start Page.

Install an extension that adds that feature to Firefox.
New Tab Homepage extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777
or
NewTabURL extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2221/

When I click a link, it changes to the new page instead of opening the link in a new tab.

I've gone to the options section several times and the right settings are in place but it still doesn't open in a new tab. I've never had this problem before. Should I change back to 3.6 or 4 beta? This problem occurs on the newest update. I believe it's 4.0.1 or something like that...I just loaded it yesterday. How can I fix this? Thank you.

It's normal for links to open in the same tab as you browse if you left-click. You can Ctrl+click or middle click to open a link in a new tab. Are either of those broken?
Some sites let you use a regular left click to open a link in a new tab (example: Google search settings), and some add-ons may change link behavior. Can you check whether one of your add-ons has been disabled?
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, if you use the Ask toolbar, try disabling it and see whether that makes any difference.

Open a PDF on the UCM in the same page instead of into another

Hi all,
I'm trying to add a PDF document to my WebCenter portal. I tried different thing to achieve it, but none worked (document viewer, content presenter, etc.). What I want to do is really simple: I want only to display the PDF document. The nearest thing I achieved was to open the document into another page, by using an ADF go link like this:
<af:goLink id="goLink1" text="Présentation WebCenter.pdf"
destination="/content/conn/UCM/path/Contribution%20Folders/Test/Pr%c3%a9sentation%20WebCenter.pdf"/>
Is it possible to open the document the same way, but in the page instead of opening another one?
Thanks.
Config:
JDev 11.1.1.6
windows 7

All I can tell you is to try the various options, and see if one fits the bill.
In addition to the listed possible targetFrame attributes, I'd imagine if you are using frames, setting the targetFrame attribute to the name of the desired frame should work. For example, if the frame where the PDF should open is named "myFrame", setting the targetFrame attribute to "myFrame" should work.
Your mileage may vary.

Save Image instead of opening link

I have created email signature with several links from images used in signature. It works well on all PCs, iPad and works on iPhone if I will use attachments in email. But if it is simple email with this signature than on iPhone clicking on image results in Save Image prompt instead of opening link. The temporary solution I am using is to use dummy attachment. Can I have it working without attachment ?

Hi ,
It looks like your report column is set to display as Text. Go to "Home>Application Builder>Application #>Page #>Interactive Report Attributes" and change it to Standard report Column and you should be all set.
Thanks,

Save As Page displays below Adobe Reader X in Modal window when selecting SAVE

Reports are being viewed in the explorer using Adobe Reader this opens in a Modal window which is a requirement. When selecting the 'Save a Copy' button from any location on the page using the floating toolbar or standard toolbar the Save As page is being opened under the Model window and the focus remains on the main page so the save location or any button on the page cannot be used.
There is a work around selecting any option that launched a popup screen from the reader such as Document Properties and then the page is closed selecting Save a copy will open the page on the top,
This only seems to be a issue when using IE9 when running the same application and Adobe reader version in IE8 no issue is seen. Other popup screen such as Print have no issue and as mentioned once one of these screens are launched the save as displays on top.
Current version of
Adobe Reader 10.1.1,
IE9 9.0.8112.16421
Windows 7 64bit.
Using Adobe Reader 9 seems to have similar issues and the page needs to be closed via the task manager.
We require the webpage to display in a Modal window is there any suggestions on how to ensure the Save As Page is displayed on the top in focus.

Reader cannot rotates pages in a document, but it can rotate the view. This is not something that can be saved. Adobe Acrobat can rotate pages and save the document, but not Reader.

Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

When I save a pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf. What's happening?

When I save a Pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf and recipients can't open it. Some load correctly, but about half don't load as a pdf. What's happening?

Hi mjmonck-
Which email provider are you using? There are different solutions possible for different providers. Yahoo is having trouble with attachments, outside of any Firefox issue. I've seen a Google user fix this by manually adding the mail URL to their ad block program- which mistakenly perceived the webmail page as an advertisement.
Hope this helps.
