PDF Viewer in SharePoint 2013

Hi everyone,
I have a document library containing multiple PDF files. When user clicks a document, the file opens in a pdf viewer installed in the local machine. But in our case, we want to open pdf files online in a browser for view only. Is there any webpart available
to open PDFs online?
Please share your experiences or suggest a workaround.
Thanks
-Ahmed Khan

Hi Ahmed,
Your web application's Browser File Handling setting has been set to "Strict". This setting when set to "Strict" will force the PDF file to download/open in the client application.
To open PDF file in a browser make the following changes:
Open your Central Admin 2013 > Application Management > Manage Web Application > Select your Web Application > Click on General Settings > Browser File Handling > Select "Permissive" > Click OK and you are
done.
Now Open your document library, click on Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Open Documents in the Browser > Tick the option "Open in Browser" > Click Ok. (This option is not required actually if you do the above for PDF files but
can be considered for Office Documents)
Now go back to your library and open any PDF file.

  • Disable IRM for PDF files in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    Do anyone know how to disable PDF protection in SharePoint 2013. Earlier version they did not have it OOTB, so users were using same library to upload office documents and pdf as well expecting that only office docs are protected. But now PDF protection
    is enable by default.
    Please let me know if anyone know how to disable IRM from PDF docs only and keeping other Office docs protected as it.
    Thanks,

    I had the same issue, as my customer was not prepared to implement IRM on PDF documents, and there seems to be only a third-party solution PDF viewer which supports AD RMS. I was surprised to find this enabled by default, but it can be removed. Delete
    the key below from the registry, and then run 'iisreset' from an elevated command prompt.

  • Datasheet view in SharePoint 2013

    Is there a way to display the datasheet view in SharePoint 2013 like the older version i.e. MS Access Web Datasheet component? There are lot of features removed from the current datasheet view.
    Thanks Arut

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the datasheet view in SharePoint 2013 like the older version.
    In SharePoint 2013 the Datasheet view was replaced with the new Quick Edit option which works now in all browsers (since it is no longer using ActiveX).
    Though the new Quick Edit mode does not support all the "Excel-like" features, it has many improvements.
    To use the old Datasheet view, the
    KwizCom Datasheet view seems to be a solution. After using the add-on, the Datasheet view ribbon button will be located left to the Quick Edit button.

  • How to build high usability navigation for Power View on SharePoint 2013?

    I have Power View on SharePoint 2013. I have both SSAS Multidimentional and Tabular model in use.
    I have several Report.drlx file in Report libary in SharePoint.
    When I click the file, it works fine, but I feel that there are usability problems like:
    A) Getting back to SharePoint site is not intuitive. Difficult to find home.
    B) Diffucult to move between report to another. Need to return Document library.
    What is best practise for displaying several Power View reports on SharePoint?
    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny_I,
    Just as you said, we cannot directly navigate to Home page when we view an .rdlx report in SharePoint site. We need click the Arrow to go to the previous page (Document Library), then click “Home” to navigate to Home page. If we want to move from a report
    to another report, we should still use the same way. This is by design.
    If you want to jump from one report to another report, we can add a hyperlink to a text box in a sheet or view. Personally, I understand your feeling and how frustrated when you find this issue. So, it is my pleasure to help you to reflect your recommendation
    to the proper department for their consideration. Please feel free to submit your situation on our product to the following link:

  • Issues opening Acrobat pdf's in SharePoint 2013

    In SharePoint 2007, once I checked a pdf out and clicked on it, the pdf opened in Acrobat and I could edit it as necessary. 
    However, I am having an issue opening pdf's in SharePoint 2013.  When I check the pdf out and click on open, the pdf opens in Word Web app.  How can I get SharePoint to open the pdf in Adobe?  I have researched and looked at all of the settings I could and haven't found anything.

    Yes, it is possible.
    About Philip point. Once installed, office documents will be opened in web apps by default - you can change it by activating site collection feature called "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default". After this setup, users will opens office document
    in their client applications as they've been used to before, but they will have additional option to open office documents right in their browsers (through web apps) through item context menu.

  • Gantt view in sharepoint 2013

    Gantt view is not changing when the "style" option is selected for different types: 
    - Basic Table 
    - Boxed, no labels 
    - Boxed 
    - Newsletter 
    - Newsletter, no lines 
    - Shaded

    Regards,

    Hi Revathy,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change the styles of Gantt View.
    I test the same scenario in my environment, however, the result is the same as yours.
    It seems that the style options only work for the Standard View in SharePoint 2013.
    If you want to change the styles of Gantt View, you need to use code to customize it.

  • Cannot connect to specific Cube through BI Semantic Model for Power View in SharePoint 2013

    I'm trying to create a connection to an Analysis Services Cube through a BI Semantic Model connection in SharePoint 2013 to create a Power View report. I'm able to connect to other cubes on the same server, and I have SQL Server 2012 SP1 Update 9 installed
    so it's not a versioning issue.
    I've captured a log of two different connection attempts to show this in action. I can't post links, but just send me a message if you need it, just in case there's any interest in it. The first is a successful connection to an alternate cube
    on the same server, and the second is an unsuccessful attempt that produces and error with "Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred.".
    On the SharePoint side, the error is reported as:
    Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.AdomdTestConnectionException: Internal error: An unexpected exception
    occurred.
    This cube was working the previous day, but it has since been edited and it no longer works now but there's no clear reason why. It can still be queried directly through SSMS with MDX queries, and produces no errors.
    Any help is much appreciated,
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan Myers,
    According to your description, when you tried to connect to an Analysis Services Cube in SharePoint 2013 through BI Semantic Model, you get the error message: Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred. But the MDX queries works fine in SSMS.
    It's hard to give you the exact reason that cause this issue based on the limited information, please validate if the connection string is correct. Besides, we can troubleshoot this issue by using the Windows Event logs and msmdsrv.log.
    We can access Windows Event logs via "Administrative Tools" --> "Event Viewer".  SSAS error messages will appear in the application log.
    The msmdsrv.log file for the SSAS instance that can be found in \log folder of the instance. (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Log)

  • Power View for Sharepoint 2013 'Feature not available'

    Hello All,
    We are trying to set up Power view in Sharepoint but every time I click the power button on a report we get the  "The
    feature: "Power View" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services." error.
    Our setup consists of two servers.  One is the sharepoint 2013 Enterprise server and the other is our DW server that sits outside of the farm.
    The DW Server has Sql 2012 SP1 (Enterprise) and two instances of AS, one in multi-dimensional mode and one with power pivot for SP.  
    We were able to get power pivot working with Sharepoint without issue but we can't seem to get Power View to work.  I've read through some threads but it still doesn't seem clear what I need to do.  Someone mentioned that we needed to install Sharepoint
    on the DW server but we would like to avoid that if we can due to the current load on the server.  Another suggestion was to install the RsSharepoint on the sharepoint server and that would enable power view.
    I know there is already an RS Service app, would that needed removed as well?

    Only SQL BI and SQL Enterprise have the appropriate edition of Reporting Services to enable PowerView:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.110).aspx#Reporting
    You would need to uninstall SSRS using SQL Standard and re-install with BI or Enterprise on the SharePoint server.

  • Show list fields side-by-side when New/Edit/View in sharepoint 2013

    It is possible to show fields in customized view for fields in a list? OOB feature show all columns one after one. But
    I want to show user customized way. like see below image
    Is possible to do in Sharepoint 2013 foundation?. Any developed feature available?
    ItsMeSri MOSS SP2, 3 WEFs, Windows 2008 R2 x64.

    Someone's developed a way to do it through JQuery - I've done it for a single list - it's time consuming to set up but works perfectly. One text file that has the table structure you want to see, then another with a small JQuery function.
    See http://www.markrackley.net/2013/08/29/easy-custom-layouts-for-default-sharepoint-forms/
    The table includes spans that reference the actual column display names - an example row:
    <tr >
    <td>
    <b>Title:</b><br>
    <span class="FMGCustomForm" data-displayName="Title"></span>
    </td>
    <td>
    <b>Issue Status:</b><br>
    <span class='FMGCustomForm" data-displayName="Issue Status"></span>
    </td>
    </tr>
    and the JQuery moves the column from the original location to the correct span. Nice and quick - even on a list with many columns.
    <style type="text/css">
    .ms-formtable
    {display:none;}
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
    //loop through all the spans in the custom layout
    $("span.FMGCustomForm").each(function()
    //get the display name from the custom layout
    displayName = $(this).attr("data-displayName");
    elem = $(this);
    //find the corresponding field from the default form and move it
    //into the custom layout
    $("table.ms-formtable td").each(function(){
    if (this.innerHTML.indexOf('FieldName="'+displayName+'"') != -1){
    $(this).contents().appendTo(elem);
    </script>

  • Is there a way to use SharePoint 2010 Datasheet View in SharePoint 2013?

    Quick edit mode doesn't meet users' requirement.  They want the header freezing and column width adjustable like what they did in SharePoint 2010.
    I understand the Datasheet view is achieved by Access ActiveX control.  Can this be used in SharePoint 2013? And SharePoint 2013 online?

    Anyone with a solution to use SP 2010 datasheet AxtiveX control somehow as SP 2013 datasheet view?

    That wouldn't be possible, this is controlled server-side.

  • Conditional formatting and extensibility in Power View for SharePoint 2013 on-premises

    Good day,
    Is there a way we could apply conditional formatting in table objects, specifically at cell level (green, yellow and red) to a Power View dashboard in SharePoint 2013?
    If not, is there a way to extend Power View to support these requirements. I know that SSRS and PowerPivot provide a wide range of customization tools, unfortunately so far the only customization capabilities that I've found in Power View are themes , fonts
    and backgrounds but nothing that could allow this level of formatting. What are the available options, only SSRS and PowerPivot?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSE

    Hi Marcelo,
    As you know, generally themes , fonts and backgrounds are supportted in power view, more details information:Format Power View reports
    Currently, there is no way to extend Power View to support these requirements. I recommend you to submit
    an wish at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
    If the suggestion mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add the feature in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service
