Report opens Save as Dialogue Box, on client.

Hi,
I am using Report Builder 11.1.2.1.0, and I am calling a report from Form.
If I run/call report on my own pc it opens perfectly in browser (pdf format), but if same report is opened on client pc, it opens Save As dialogue box and asks user to save the report.
Can you please let me know, how can I achieve to open a report in browser on client's pc, without opening Save As Dialogue.
Eagerly waiting for your replies.
Regards,

That is probably because the user's browser does not support opening a pdf document.
Most browsers support pdf, some need a plugin. Check what happens with any other pdf document on the web that you want to open on the user's PC, like http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17643.pdf

  • Can we customize the Save As dialogue box in Acrobat DC?

    I was wondering if there is already a way we can customize the new DC Save As dialogue box.
    I would love to be able to open directly to "Choose a Different Folder" without going through this extra dialogue box (I understand the appeal of it, but it's not optimal for my workflow). Or perhaps, if I could customize the options under "Storage" (e.g. adding our own database folders "Posters", "Documents", etc, or maybe just pulling the "Favorites" folders from Windows explorer)
    I get the decision to have document cloud and creative cloud as default options. That's great for sharing and collaborating on documents, but I'm just managing too many documents and too large of a database. In my situation it's just, well, sub-optimal.
    I'm on Windows 7 running Adobe CC Group.

    OMG, I've been having this same exact thought since the first time I went to do a Save As ever since upgrading to Acrobat DC.
    (Mac OS X Yosemite here.)
    I find it so ridiculous to have to go through this extra step with every single "Save As."
    Example:
    1. Open our job ticket template PDF (for billing a project), which is in a "Company Templates" folder on my computer.
    2. Fill in the details/time for that project.
    3. Select "Save As" to save the job ticket to my project folder (different location).
    4. Have to click "Save to a different folder" every single time.
    "Save As" is nearly always going to be for saving a new version of a file to a different location, so I don't understand why there is now this extra step. It's just unnecessary IMO.
    So, to quote Will Riker: "Yes. Absolutely. I do indeed concur... wholeheartedly!"

  • Finder changes the file name in Save/Save As dialogue box

    Whenever I save or save as a file, the dialogue box opens, but when I make the file list active when using a mouse, the file name I click to changes the file name I am saving. I simply want to activate the file list window so I can find the right folder. For example if I am looking for a folder called "Receipts" I want to be able to click on the file list window to activate it and then type the first 2 letters of the folder-- "re" and then save the file in that folder. The finder keeps changing the name of the current file whenever I click on one of the "greyed-out" file names? This doesn't make sense unless of course I want to replace that file.
    Is there a shortcut that makes the file list window in the dialogue box active while in the SAVE/SAVE AS dialogue box??

    Yes, this example of horrible UI design has been a problem since "Panther". It illustrates what happens when you try to copy UI behaviour from another OS, do it poorly, and end up with a mess. In 10.3 and 10.4, the combination of the renaming behaviour with the default "replace" selection in the resulting save can result in data loss.
    Compared to the old Mac OS where a tab would flip the focus between the text field for the file name and the file browser, the current behaviour either doesn't allow enough keyboard access to controls, or with "full access" enabled, too many to cycle through easily. The inability to switch focus to the file browser using the mouse (depending on the view) is a horrible productivity loss. Having to recheck the filename before saving is a horrible productivity loss. Since there is no "undo" for the renaming in most files, having to retype the name is again, a horrible productivity loss.
    If they had done it right (a simple change, like requiring a modifier to rename), users would probably welcome the "rename" feature as a useful addition. Instead, it has the feel of something a junior Windows-trained programmer slipped in past their supervisor.
    In short, I am not aware of any workaround or hack to avoid this "renaming" behaviour. I doubt it will do any good since people have been doing so since "Panther", but you could try submitting feedback:

  • Dynamically populate pdf File name in 'Save As' dialogue box

    We have  rendered a pdf using adobe webservice.
    Once the pdf is generated , and we click on saveAs menu dialogue box opens and default name is populated in fileName field.
    Can it be possible to populate that name dynamically ? We tried using response.addheader() but it didnt work.
    Note : We are using java to create xml which we are passing to adobe webservice.

    Hi Jaynet,
    In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
    The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you.  At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
    html format (but with the .xls
    extension). 
    (I actually prefer the .xls
    extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
    for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
    To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me).  It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
    In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file.  I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
    I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
    However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Blank page shown instead of Open/Save As dialog box-CSV file download in IE

    I am migrating an application hosted earlier on Oracle 9iAS (9.0.3.1 BP1) to OracleAS 10g (10.1.3) with Struts 1.2.9. While the below JSP code worked for the earlier s/w stack when accessed using IE 5.5 SP2 or above, a blank page is displayed with the new s/w stack. What I mean by "worked earlier" is this. A "Open/Save As" dialog box would appear. Trying to "Open" would open a new IE window launching MS Excel and displaying correct data. Trying to "Save As" would display correct filename and extension in the dialog box.
    <%@page autoFlush="false" contentType="application/x-filler"%>
    <%
    try
    String fileName = "ABC.CSV";
    String strData = "A,B,C";
    response.setContentLength(strData.length());
    response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+fileName);
    ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
    ouputStream.write(strData.getBytes(), 0, strData.getBytes().length);
    ouputStream.flush();
    ouputStream.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    %>
    I tried some changes listed below:
    1. Deliberately introduced compilation errors in the JSP code.
    2. Changed contentType="application/x-filler" to various MIME types like application/x-download, application/vnd.ms-excel, removing it altogether.
    3. Commented out response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream") and also tried other MIME types related to CSV/Excel.
    4. Changed Content-Disposition from inline to attachment.
    Each of the above resulted in an unacceptable behaviour compared with the earlier state:
    1. Blank page shown as if nothing was happening even in case of deliberate incorrect JSP syntax.
    2. Dialog box did show up with some combinations. But on trying to "Open" or "Save As", the dialog box shows up a second time. Then while trying to "Open", the contents get opened either inline or in MS Excel but with some additional garbage data like source file name.jsp etc. While trying to "Save As" the file name and extension take on the pattern <URL_Pattern>.htm where URL_Pattern would be "DOWNLOAD_ACTION.do".
    Some other information:
    1. This code works when accessed from desktop local container (Win 2000) but not when deployed on Unix env (HP-UX B.11.11.0109).
    2. Latest patchsets are installed for IE.
    3. The existing application is designed to work for ONLY IE 5.5 SP2 or above, so I haven't tried with other browsers. I have tried both IE 5.5 SP2 and 6.0 SP1.
    Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot for your valuable time..

    I have made it to work with the below changes:
    1. Changed the URL pattern for <filter-mapping> for *.jsp to /*.jsp
    2. Added <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> and <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    3. Everything else (code-wise) is as before.
    Because of these changes, the filter, wherein some headers are being added to the response, is being invoked appropriately now.
    Thanks for you time and suggestion though...

  • How to realize the "save as" dialogue box?

    I want to realize this function in my jsp page:
    when I click a button, the system can prompt a new dialogue box which is the same as
    the "save as" dialogue box in windows 2000.
    How to realize it? Can I use JavaScript?

    You are asking about something that happens at the browser, so the question is identical to the one that asks how you can do it in HTML. But what do you expect to save with this dialogue box?

  • How do I open Camera Raw dialogue box in Elements 11?

    How do I open Camera Raw dialogue box in Elements 11

    What version of mac os x are you using?
    It sounds like you set Enable to Camera Raw instead of setting Format to Camera Raw.
    Where it says Format, set that to All Readable Documents and for the most part you shouldn't have to change that.
    After you click on the jpeg file in the Open Dialog, set the Format to Camera Raw

  • How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive.

    How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive without clicking on save option everytime when saving an image. I'm using firefox ver 35.0.1 for windows 7.

    Click on the Firefox menu. Then click "Options". Go to "Applications" tab. Search for jpg and png file type. You will find they have "Always ask" action attribute. Change it to "Save file".
    Hope it will work fine for you.

  • Why does Firefox open the printer dialogue box whenever it starts up

    When Firefox opens the printer dialogue box automatically opens - why and how do I stop it doing this.
    This never used to happen on previous versions of firefox

    Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
    Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

  • Browser can't find a text file opened via the save as dialogue box

    Hi there,
    I have a servlet which outputs a file using the servlet output stream, with the following lines set:
    response.setContentType("application/msword");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename="+ fileName);
    servletOutStream.write(myBytes);
    servletOutStream.flush();
    It works fine for .doc files and it seems the mechanism is that it is saved to the Temporary Internet Folder and delivered from there when the user clicks on the 'open' or 'save' option in the browser popup dialogue box. However... when I try this with text files, (setting the content type to "text/plain") I get the open/save dialogue box up correctly but if I try to open the file it says it cannot find the file, and gives the path under the Temporary Interenet Folder. If I look in there the text file isn't present - though the .doc files are.
    So... it looks as if the problem is that for some reason it doesn't save the text files correctly to the Temporary Internet Folder.
    I can't deliver the text files inline as a solution as the filename is lost and it thinks it's an html file (which the client doesn't want).
    Any ideas?
    Alison

    At least also set the content length. Your browser may be configured be the default application to open textfiles. If the contentlength is not set, then most applications would refuse to open the file without choosing for 'Save' first and manually open it.

  • Save As dialogue box and picking a folder to save the file in

    "If you have the destination folder open in the Finder, you don't have to navigate to it again in the Open or Save dialogs. Instead, you can just drag a file from the target folder in the Finder onto the Open or Save dialog box; doing so will instantly open that folder in the dialog."
    This was the old way... now it's gone... alongside skip while copying folder contents, regular expose for all open windows (not stupid mission control which put's all the windows from the same app in a group and I can't see the windows except the front one),....
    I hate Lion...
    any chance this can be sorted out? the save as dialogue drag&drop to pick a folder to save files in?

  • Save Password Dialogue Box Not Displaying

    I am seeing behavior that suggests that the dialogue box for saving passwords is invisible:
    * I can frequently see the outline of a box where the dialogue box would be
    * On a couple of occassions, the dialogue box would appear for a few seconds before disappearing - I was once even able to save it
    * On sites where I enter a password, hyperlinks are not recognized in the area where the save password dialogue would normally appear - it's as if the window is there but not visible.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
    Private Browsing is Off. Save passwords is checked.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • While trying to open Firefox, the dialogue box says another version is open and I'm unable to open any version

    I am running Mac OSX 10.6.6. After running Firefox with no problem, it now won't open. When I attempt to open Firefox a "Close Firefox" dialogue box says " A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time".
    I searched my computer, threw out all firefox related items and when I download a new Firefox App. the same dialogue box still appears. How can I find the hidden application, close it and successfully open Firefox?
