PDF preview in firefox version 34.0.5.

we have upgraded FireFox to latest version 34.0.5.
We have now encountered an issue of images not being displayed when option " preview in firefox" is selected from toption->Application->content type : Portable Document Reader : Action Preview in Firefox
If you change the content type action to adobe or any pdf reader then it works .
It was working fine for all previous versions of Firefox

Can you please share the link to the PDF in question?

It happens only when default Firefox "preview in Firefox" is selected. if any other action like "User Adobe reader (in Firefox)" is selected then issue does not come.

The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

Not able to copy text from pdf preview in firefox 25

Hi, I am using the Firefox 25 version, and i open a PDF in the browser, but i am not able to copy the content from the PDF opened in the browser. Is there is any settings to allow to copy the text when the PDF is opened in the browser ? kindly provide your opinion and solution.
Thank you in advance.

I do not believe there is. I think it is the setting of the pdf itself not Firefox. Also i suggest you update, it is possible you cant copy paste due to this. Not only that but other issue could be going on.
(Firefox is currently on version 35.0.1)

Not all pdf preview in firefox. How do I fix this?

Hi!
When going to Option>Applications and searching for "pdf" 2 options come up in the list:
1 - pdf.
2 - portable document format.
For "portable document format" I can choose "preview in Firefox", but for "pdf" the preview option does not exist (I can just "save" or "alway ask" [and that just gives option to save or open with TWINUI]).
I tried to erase the "mimeTypes.rdf" and then "pdf" disappeared from the list all together leaving just the "portable document format" in the list. All pdf's opened in FF just like I wanted! But that only worked for a short while and "pdf" appeared again in the list with no preview option.
I use FF28 and win8.1 (comes with TWINUI to view pdf).
I didnt want to install more programs like adobe, so I want to open pdf files that are on my computer in FF.
Thanks!

Yep and you can manage the other file types in the Application settings in Preference/Options as you have done before.
There is also a nice add on for previewing both types, I think. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/?src=search]

Links (urls) inside a pdf document are not enabled by the New firefox pdf preview feature but are in Chrome & IE

The new pdf preview feature in firefox desktop does NOT seem to activate any links (urls) inside the pdf meaning they are no longer clickable.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem.
I send out product information using pdf's with clickable links inside (as do lots of businesses) and this loss of clickable links functionality is a problem.
I also tried the same pdf files in IE and Chrome and their inline pdf previews keep all links fully working.
I know the pdf preview in firefox can be deactivated and the adobe reader can be used instead but in reality lots of people won't know how to do this or won't be troubled to find out how and will just move on.
Does anyone know if this feature is going to be fixed or supported or is it a deliberate security feature.
Thanks.
JP.

Hey JPEdwards,
The PDF.js team is still hard at work on the built-in viewer. It looks like there is already a bug on file for this and they are aware of it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=821599
Please don't post in the bug if you are just confirming that you've seen the problem too. That clutters the tickets ;)

Downloading pdf files with firefox 6.0.2 doesn't always work but pdf files do download with IE

for example the home page for the web site kerrville.org has several items to download and most are pdf files using firefox version 6.0.2 the download seems to start but never completes . If I use IE version 8 at the same web site I'm able to download any and all of the pdf files. I have tried this several times and get the same results each time.

I would just get rid of the create PDF 1.1 and go with CutePDF instead. It's a much better program, it's free, and it doesn't create all the issues that the Adobe software does.

Firefox 19.0 PDF data is not showing when we use the Preview in firefox option.

I am using FireFox 19.0 Version. In my application, I create the adobe PDF and it should shows on click on link button. On previous version it was working. but in 19.0 it is not working.
In Firefox option i am using preview in firefox option to show the PDF on browser tab.
Please suggest how can i resolve this problem.

These solutions to not help our viewers who also have this problem. All they know is the pdf is not displaying correctly and naturally assume there is something wrong with the pdf.
This function should be disabled until it reliably displays pdfs.

When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

How to print any web page to PDF in Windows 7 after Firefox version 8?

Some web pages do not print to PDF after Firefox Version 8. The result is either incomplete PDF or the print progress stops at some point and Firefox is stuck. For example the following web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln prints to PDF with Firefox Version 8, but it does not print with any version of Firefox newer than 8. Note that the latest version of Acrobat Professional produced the same results as well as other PDF generating tools such as "FreePDF XP" and "Bullzip". Also the same web page on this same machine does print from within Internet Explorer. However using Internet Explorer is not a solution for our needs.
Thank you for looking into this.

Graphics driver support seems to be a difficult area to get right...
I'd just be guessing as to any specific differences between Fx8 and Fx17 that affect the Adobe Acrobat plugin.

"Preview in Firefox" for pdf web pages but not for file links ?

Hi,
I like the preview pdf in Firefox feature but I seem to be having a bit of a problem with it.
In options>applications I have the pdf entry set to preview in Firefox and when I click a link to pdf webpages they load in Firefox just fine.
The problem seems to be with download links to pdf files. When I click a link to a pdf file the only options are to save the file, open with my pdf viewer (Foxit Reader) or other. Preview with Firefox is not an option any more.
I've been trying everything to get that option back.
I know I have seen it there before but I've no idea how it disappeared.
Any suggestions?

The build-in PDF Viewer only works for files that are send as application/pdf and not for other MIME types.<br />
So it won't work for links that open a download dialog and you would need an extension to open such a file as application/pdf.

LiveCycle Version 8-PDF Preview not available

I am designing forms in LiveCycle version 8.0. The PDF Preview is not available. The help file says it's because I don't have Acrobat installed. I have Acrobat Professional version 8 installed. How do I get the PDF preview?

This just started happening for me today. Yesterday Designer 8 was fine. PDF preview was available. Today, suddenly, it's grayed out in the menu and the PDF Preview tab is missing from the main window... POOF! Gone!
I have already done a repair of Acrobat 8... how do I get the PDF PReview back? This is absurd!

Why won't PDFs won't preview in Firefox 36.0? (OS10.9.5)

Since updating to Firefox 36.0 (OS 10.9.5), PDFs no longer preview in Firefox: I'm prompted to download and save them -- even though in Firefox Preferences, the default selection reads: Preview in Firefox. Help, please.

Sorry, but this explanation explains nothing. Accessing the about:config page is easy. But all the passive voice bullets about what can be modified, reset, etc. don't give a clue of what '''should''' be done to make the PDF Viewer work. Isn't there a way to communicate that to those of use who don't speak technical jargon? The last bullet point is particularly impenetrable. Sorry to seem dense, but I'm actually a science writer, and a pretty well-known one. My job is to take highly technical information and jargon and put it into language that the rest of us can understand. To do that, I have to ask a lot of questions until I understand. So far here, I don't. Thanks -- AW
