PDF's opening in Internet Explorer 7 but are unreadable

When clicking the link below the following - http://www.bsl.org.au/pdfs/BSL_VECCI_Barriers_to_hiring_entry-level_job_seekers_Vic_employ er_attitudes_survey_2009.pdf, a new tab opens in IE7 but the PDF is unreadable. It appears similar to a word document that is opened in notepad. This is happening on a certain PC which has the same Adobe Add-on as my PC (Adobe PDF Reader link helper), however the PDF opens fine in my browser.
The Adobe Reader is has Display in PDF box checked.
Any comments, feedback or even solutions much approciated.
Regards,
Rob Thomas.

First off that first link to the graphics site does not work. Getting a page not found error. Although I was able to do a quick lucky guess and added an "l" to the end of the address and it worked.
Second, because the link is embedded within a Flash document, your problem will lie within the ActionScript code as opposed to the HTML. Thus you would be better off posting this in the Flash forum with your ActionScript code to get better troubleshooting responses.

Adobe PDF direct open in internet explorer problem

Hi all,
I have a problem when I want do download a pdf byte stream created by Jasper Reports. I read the necessary information out of my formbean (Struts). Here's the code from the jsp:
response.setContentType(runReportForm.getContentType());
String filename = runReportForm.getTechName() + "." + runReportForm.getMode();
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename='" + filename + "'\"");
byte[] bytes = runReportForm.getBytesOutput();
response.setContentLength(bytes.length);
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
try {
        ouputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
        ouputStream.flush();
     ouputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}The content type for PDF is "application/pdf" or "application/octet-stream", of course.
Normally, it should open a download dialog with the question "Open" and "Save". In this download dialog is the Adobe icon displayed, too.
But in my case, I get the dialog with an empty (like unknown file format) icon, but the text says "Adobe Acrobat Document". When I click to open it directly it will open in a separately Adobe Acrobat window instead of displaying in the internet explorer. (Saving to the hard disk works fine).
Of course I have set the setting "display inside browser" in the options of my Acrobat Reader.
The same procedure with Excel (content type "application/vnd.ms-excel") makes no problems.
Thanks for any help.
Manuel

If you want to open the PDF in the browser you have to explicitely set the content type to "application/pdf", if you use "application/octet-stream" you'll always get the download box and when you choose to open from this box the reader will be used because the reader is configured to open PDF documents in the windows filetypes settings.

Photos sent in email to my firefox also open up internet explorer all updates are okay

when photos are sent to me by email when i view them in firefox internet explorer also opens up in the background mozilla is my default browser.
also difficult in windows 7 to view as slideshow or download the photos. ???

That is a know problem caused by specifying the text color as transparent in the stylesheet. 
Removing that color rule or specifying a color like black (#000) should fix it.
<pre><nowiki>TABLE{
table-border-color-light:#336666;
table-border-color-dark:#003333;
border-color:#003333;

Hyperlink in MS office to pdf opens in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

I have some documents (Excel, Word) that contain hyperlinks.
Hyperlinks to websites (www.***.com or http://***.htm) nicely open in Firefox. But links to online pdf's (http://www.***.com/***.pdf) all open in Internet Explorer.
How can I change this?
I'm using Windows XP pro, Firefox 3.0.5, Office 2003, Adobe Reader 9.0.0

I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.

* Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP3

my question is why third party WSDL open in Internet explorer and why PI generated WSDL file not open in internet explorer.
please guide me where i did wrong and what should i answer to my client regarding above issue.
I hope,could you please clearly given points.

Hi,
Firstly, you should not give the host name and port name of the URLs that you are using. It is your company's security issue.
And the message that you get for the wsdl , when you open in IE is nothing wrong.
The wsdl can be of two types. One is a design time wsd, where you will just see the structure, importing and exporting parameters. It does not have the binding parameters within the wsdl.
When the same wsdl is implemented, then it has a binding with the backend system. It becomes a runnable entity. The wsdl generated from your PI system is one such entity (It is tied to a backend and is a runnable web service). Hence IE shows that message.

Urgent my site don't want to open on Internet Explorer but is ok on Safari

Urgent my site don't want to open on Internet Explorer but is ok on Safari
This is a site I made for my client http://www.ajanatransportation.com/ everything was ok until I instal the text effect on the top (It's an XML flash text)
I didn't see it before tonight... My client didn't say anything but I'm sure is not very happy!
Well can anybody tell me what do I need to do to fix that problem Please>>>>
To me it's like a missing div or something like that...
JP

Hi JP,
my IE 8 shows your website correctly in my oppinion (hope I understood your concern in the right way), please have a look here:
First phase:
Second phase:
Third phase:
By the way, your "automatic srolling news on the top" starting with "Welcome to Ajana Transportation" also works fine.
Hans-G.
P.S.
If you would come closer to the rotate idea, we should use for the required time segments simply the same images and call them in a multiple manner in the list.

I use Earthlink mailbox, and I want my email links to open with Firefox, but they open with Internet Explorer; how to fix?

I am using Windows XP 2002 operating system; Earthlink mailbox program for email with AT&T Broadband.
I want to have Firefox as my default browser, but my email links open with Internet Explorer. I have followed the Firefox help page to set Firefox as my browser, but the problem remains.
Do you know how to fix this? Is it a problem with Earthlink?

I have Microsoft Outlook also with Firefox and can open just about every link, url, company page, etc via the email links. First, make sure you have noted the email as NOT JUNK so that the links are activated by Outlook. Second, Firefox needs to your default browser for the links to open in Firefox rather than IE. There are some links from Microsoft that may ignore the default and open in IE but not all anymore. I have a Sony laptop which ignores the default browser and opens all of its support information from its VAIO software loaded on the computer in IE. Besides that though, over 95% of my items will open in my default brwser selection, which is currently Firefox.
Go to this link to make sure Firefox is your default browser.
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+make+Firefox+the+default+browser?s=Make+Firefox+the+default+browser+&as=s
Or this link to make any browswer of your choice the default.

Did Adobe Acrobat/reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing(addin) for Internet Explorer?

Did Adobe acrobat and reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing capability for Internet Explorer?
Hi, I have been trying to view PDF's directly on my browser (Internet Explorer 9). We used to be able to have this available. To be honest last configuration that did work was Internet Explorer 8 with Adobe Acrobat 7. But I recently tried with Intenet Explorer 9 with Adobe Acrobat X and did not work as expected (I tried to activate the add in for Adobe but the adobe addin for PDF did not show up) I have the following questions:
1) Do you still provide PDF's viewing capabilties on Internet Explorer?
2) If yes: Is there a propper Add-in we (users) are able to install for Internet Explorer?
3) if yes: Do we require to have Adobe Acrobat to have this capability? (this was my experience with IE8 and Adobe Acrobat 7)
Additional Info:
There seems to be an addin for Chrome wich works as expected (opens PDF in browser) to this current date. This does not happen on IE.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the 64-bit edition of Internet Explorer?
The Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugin is 32-bit, and will not work on a 64-bit browser.

When I open a page from an email document it opens in Internet Explorer - how can I stop this?

Hi, I use Firefox as my default browser but when I opened a link from an official emailed adobe document it opened in Internet Explorer - I want to force all browser links to open only in Firefox - I have checked the advanced options and Firefox is set to my default, please help.

Hi PCM1, if i understand well the problem you have is when you click on a URL in a pdf file, the link opens in IE ? Have you checked in the default programs panel to see if all was well set ?

Adobe Flash player (I ran scan & got "You have version 9,0,45,0 installed") works on internet explorer emails, BUT it does not work using firefox keeps giving me a pop up need Flash 9 or higher.

I have Adobe Flash player 9 or higher (I ran your scan-You have version 9,0,45,0 installed) and it always works with Internet Explorer emails BUT every time I click to open incoming email I get a pop up "need to install flash 9 or higher". What can I do? Can I get rid of it? It only happens in internet mail.

Visit [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ this Adobe page] with both browsers to update your Flash version; Firefox uses a different install than IE, so having one doesn't mean you have the other.

Rob,
Many thanks for your reply. It is appreciated greatly. I have added text against each of the points that you raise.
troubleshooting Addons is somewhat complex.....as from this side we do not know which addon may be causing the problem, so the
only recourse is to disable the types of addons that commonly cause problems in IE (for security and usablility reasons some older addons that you may have used previously with IE8/XP are no longer compatible with newer versions of IE that you are now using)....
The following instructions will stop your Toolbar and Browser Helper addons from loading in IE.
Start>Control Panel>Internet Options>Advanced tab,
uncheck "enable third-party browser extensions".
close any open IE windows and restart IE for the changes to take effect.
[GotaQ: Yes, did this but the problem then is that IE won’t open for me. There is no icon in the start menu or task bar
and routes such as using a command prompt or ‘run’ instruction don’t work. When I try this I get a window on screen that flickers for a bit and then disappears.]
Alternatively, your problem with keyboard input is most likely being caused by a form filling addon or a finger print reader
addon? Note: some addons like the Google toolbar have multiple features like form filling, you can disable the GTB's form filling features from its settings dialog (click the 'spanner' icon on the toolbar)
Use Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons to locate any such addons and use the Addons Manager to disable them. (close and
reopen any open IE windows for the full changes to take effect).
[GotaQ: I tried disabling all of the add-ons in Google Chrome and the key-stroke mapping problem persisted, unfortunately!]

I have no idea how to use Firefox. I used to have Internet Explorer 7 but am unable to connect to it anymore. How do I use Firefox? I know how to use a computer, somewhat, but am not as savy as I'd like to be. I will appreciate your help.

You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.

Hiding the menu bar of acrobat when opening in internet explorer

Hi, i remember vaguely about a certain suffix you can give to the link of a pdf file so that when it opens inside internet explorer, it does not show the menu bar. Could someone help me out and tell me what this suffix is?
I remember it was something like.... www.asfg.com/mypdf.pdf#NOMENU or something.
If there is any other way to do this, it would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,

How do I turn off a shortcut that says "Open in Internet Explorer" and default back to FF

I use FF as my default browser. A few shortcuts work better in IE so I select the option to "Open in Internet Explorer" and this works fine. Now I would like to undo one of these shortcuts and have it open in FF per the original. I tried to delete the shortcut but any new FF shortcut to that website automatically opens in IE.
How do I cancel that original transfer to IE so it will again open in FF?

Hi roblsmith, 
i am sorry for the previous post which was not well stated. Change the application in the Target field. It is on the left of the URL that you wish to open. You should have something like: 
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” http://url_you_want 
Hope that helped!

APEX applications are not opened in Internet Explorer 6

Hi All,
I'm developing the applications using APEX 3.0. When I tried to open the applications in the Internet Explorer 6, they are not properly opened(css and javascript files are not downloaded) but where as they do in other browsers like Firefox or IE7. I even changed the internet explorer setting by enabling the javascript debugging on. But no luck.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers
Suresh

I would delete every single temporary internet file, cookie etc. Even delete anything in the Java cache (if you have Java installed, which you probably do). We get weird behaviour with IE 6.0 and Java/Oracle products when something gets into the temp files or into the java cache that 'borks' stuff up.
