Search Server 2010 Express: Open a PDF document from list of search results invokes adobe reader client application with error
Hi community,
I set up search server 2010 express on a windows 2008 r2 server.
The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 64 bit is installed and search is correctly configured to find PDF-files.
When doing a search and clicking on a link of the result page, the PDF is not opened in the browser, instead the adobe reader XI client application (11.0.04) is invoked and an error raised like "could not open document .. check syntax of url..."
Right click on a link to open in new tab works fine. And PDF-Files from other arbitrary Internet Sites opens in browser correctly. Moreover when configure Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as default application on the client it also open in Browser correctly.
I noticed googling the web there are several challenges when dealing with PDF-files in sharepoint. The following settings are made so far:
1. In IE: Add-On to open PDF in Browser is enabled for all sites.
2. Client Integration is enabled
3. The OpenControl attribute in the DOCICON.xml is left empty OpenControl="" for the pdf entry.
4. The Browser File Handling is set to "Permissive".
Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.
I appreciate any help on this. I don't know what to do further.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the reply.
Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
Thanks.

Trying to open a PDF document from a website
when trying to open a PDF document from a website, it goes to a totally black page with a white box in the middle, and states:
Adobe Reader
Before viewing PDF documentsin this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and except the End User License Agreement, then Quit and re-launch the browser.
consequently, i can't open the documentThe first question is, did you do what it said? Launch Reader (on its own, not in a browser) and accept the agreement?

Search Server 2010 Express Help Button doesn't work
I installed Search Server 2010 Express to crawl our file shares and give our users a decent full text search capability and it's working well. I noticed that the initial search page that comes up, where you would type in your search string, has a little
blue question mark icon at the top right of the page. When I click on that, it pops up a window and inside the window it says "Help content cannot be displayed".
I found some info that pointed me to Site Actions, Site Settings, Site Collection Administration, Help Settings. When I go here and click on the link for Help Settings, it comes back with, "An unexpected error has occurred".
I also found a link that said to reinstall help files by using the following SP Powershell command:
Install-SPHelpCollection -LiteralPath 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\HCCab\1033\MS.Wss.HC.Cab'
I try this and it says Source not found, even though I can confirm the path to the cab is correct and my user has permissions to see that file.
Can anyone help me with my Help button here? I have to give a demo for our users on how to use the Search Server, I know someone is going to click on the Help button link and it's going to say "Help content cannot be displayed" and then ask
me about it. I want to get it working. Thanks.What does the powershell-command below return?

I cannot open a pdf document from a website
I am using Int Explorer and have Reader 9.1 installed. When I try to open a pdf doc I get a box which has Adobe Reader top left and blue question mark and an OK box. When I click OK nothing happens. I have tried the various suggestions from knowledge base including making sure Reader was enabled but to no avail. It does not happen all the time as I have been able to view pdf pages from a manufacturers on line catalogue. Any ideas??

I recieve them as Email attachments.
That could be the problem; attachments often get damaged during the transport.
Can you ask the sender of these documents to upload one of them to a file sharing server (SendNow, Dropbox, Google Drive, ...), and see if you can get the document undamaged? -
When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?
When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever. -
When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.
Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,

Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox) -
How do I open a PDF document from a website while in Safari on my iPad.
How do I open a PDF document from a website while in Safari on my iPad.
When you see a PDF link in Safari, click on it. It will preview in Safari. Then click the Share icon, and choose Open With, then select Adobe Reader.

I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.” What do I do? I have opened this up in the past without a problem.
Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -

Nothing to do with the download; you need to open Adobe Reader once after the install is complete, and accept the EULA. -

You can't avoid the echo box, unfortunate but that's the
compromise if you go with
the BAT file method.
For many years I have been using Flash Jester tool call
JStart. Works like charm
all the way, no extra pop up windows :)
http://flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jstart
JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use
parameters to make the
program open files, perform special actions and just about
anything you can use
parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with
their default associated
program.
Another solution is provided by by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty
old but should still
work. Perhaps give it a try.
http://www.flashgeek.com/tutorials/07_launchapp_01.asp
Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything
from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting
particle file.

How to open the pdf document from KM through Link to URL UI element
Hi All,
I have Link to URL UI element in webdynpro java layout - on click of the link we need to open the pdf document from KM respository.
KM Document location : irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf.
Once this is transported to Test and Production portals , we need to retrieve the KM document from the respective portal location through the Link to URL UI element .
Thanks,
Portaluser100Hi,
If you set the link to your document in a Context attribute by using a relative path this should work just fine.
Example:
wdContext.currentContextElement().setUrl("/irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf");
Bind that attribute to the reference property of the LinkToURL element.
Cheers,
Leo -
