SHP2013 - Open Files in Client Application

I can't get PDFs to open in the client, where in the same library Excel and Word both open in the client.  This is true across all my libraries with these file types.
The Permissive is ON in Central Admin,  the SharePoint OpenDocument Class is enable on the browser tools, and the list setting are set to open items in client application.
Not sure what else to do, any advice?
Note: We just upgraded 2010 to run in 2013 compatibility mode, files open in client while in 2010
Thanks

This is typically because pdfs aren't listed as a trusted file type. This article gives a deep dive into the systems around them. In particular have a look at the section titled 'Default Trusted File (Mime) Types'

    Then, this issue is not controlled by Office client, we need to config it with SharePoint. Thus, if you have further question, I recommend you post it SharePoint forum:

  • Not able to Check-out/Check-in .pdf file from Client application in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    When I click on .pdf document in document library its getting opened in browser not client application.
    I have done all the below settings.
    1. Set Opening Documents in the Browser as Open in Client Application.
    2. Activated Open Documents in Client Application by Default.
    Still .pdf files getting opened in browser.
    Then I Tried by doing the below Internet Setting.
           In Internet Explorer -> Manage add-ons and disabled Adobe PDF Reader -> Disable (So that the pdf should open in Browser).
    Now I am able to Open the document in Client application but its not connected to SharePoint (
    I am not able to do Check-in/Check-out/Save file back to SharePoint).
    Can Any one Help me with this issue.
    Also note Build number and CU :

    Thanks in advance.

    the option to open a PDF in the browser is based on the Web Application's list of allowed MIME types... it cannot be controlled on a per-library basis.

  • How can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application?

    How can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application? For instance, if I want to bounce back and forth between three documents that I have open in Microsoft Word?

    You use a combination of OS X Spaces with Exposé to be able to accomplish this.
    Or in your case,  look at using Mission Control

  • Add hyperlink or button to open document in client application

    Good day.
    I have SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps 2013 integrated with it.
    I configured the default behavior when clicking on a document in a document library to open it in web app. 
    And I want additionally to have column in this library with hyperlink or button to open document in client application.
    I can click on menu near document name with WAC preview and then click "change" button. But in this case I make 2 clicks. So I want to have this  "change" button as a column in the list of document library.
    How can I do it?

    Hi, Daniel.
    I successfully created rich
    text type column - richtextcolumn.
    Then I created workflow associated with documents library and added action to set field in current element
    - it sets richtextcolumn with value you wrote - "<a class="ms-listlink ms-draggable"
    onclick="return DispEx(this,event,'TRUE','FALSE','FALSE','SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3','1','SharePoint.OpenDocuments','','','','1','0','0','0x7fffffffffffffff')" href="[%Current
    Item: Server Relative URL%]" DragId="7">test</a> .".
    I configured this workflow to run on element creating and editing.
    Then I upload a document and see link to this document appearing in richtextcolumn.
    But when I click this link it just download document and then open it in client application. So if I change something in this document and try to save it, it will be saved in my local download folder and not sharepoint.

  • Open file in client computer

    hi
    how can i open file in client computer when he click on a button
    i want to show him a xls file and if he want save it on his computer
    can i save on his computer too?
    tanx

    ok
    when i said " i said a program in server" mean in
    my previous post i said i want to open file that
    its place in server and want to show userAll you need for that is a webserver. Are you creating that file on the fly?
    can i open file with java prog in user comp?A signed applet can download the file and fire off th rRuntime.exec() command shown earlier. You claimed to be limited in doing that by not knowing their OS. That may be true, but there aren't many OSes that can run Excel to begin with.
    if u know both applet and jsp(not servlet)Once more: JSPs are servlets. Same technology, different appearance. And as far as the user's concerned, it's all HTML. Totally irrelevant how it's created. You can have the servlet stream out the file in case it's indeed created on the fliy, using the reply's output stream and the appropriate MIME type setting. If it's static, I say don't bother and simply put it onto the webserver.
    please
    tell me
    or if java dont permision to do this tell it so

  • Open Office files in client application in Sharepoint Search

    Is there a way to have all users of a SharePoint farm open Office documents that show up as search results in our Enterprise Search Center within their client applications and not in the Office Web Apps?
    I know i can do this manually for me from the Search Result page > Preferences. But is there a way to do this
    automatically for every user? Couldn't find it on the internet.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi Simon,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open office documents in client application in SharePoint Search results.
    In order to open search results in the client application, you had to alter the Item_CommonItem_Body.html search results display template.
    More detailed information:

  • Default large Excel file to client application rather than prompting for PowerBI

    I have a user working with OneDrive for Business to share a 13MB Excel file that contains PowerPivot data.  When a user clicks the shared link or the guest link they receive this message:
    We cannot determine a way to open this file in the Excel client.  Naturally we would like to default this file to open in the client rather than throw an error and a "free trial" option.
    Why is there no button for "open with client application?"

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    after downloaded the file to the client, you can use the client_host command to start the application and open the file.

  • Open Files in selected application

    As with the files in "Finder" I click on them and they open in a particular application (default) or one of my choosing. Is there a way to transfer files to the iPad and them open them with the application of my choice?

    It is just that I would like to have a system like "Finder" available so I could see all my various documents in one list.
    This is not possible.
    Because apps are sandboxed, which prevents data or files from being accessed by other apps. Helps to prevent data corruption and malware.
    From the iOS Application Programming Guide
    Security
    An important job of iOS is to ensure the security of the user’s device and the applications running on it. To this end, iOS implements several features to protect the integrity of the user’s data and to ensure that applications do not interfere with one another or the system.
    *The Application Sandbox*For security reasons, iOS restricts each application (including its preferences and data) to a unique location in the file system. This restriction is part of the security feature known as the application’s sandbox. The sandbox is a set of fine-grained controls limiting an application’s access to files, preferences, network resources, hardware, and so on. Each application has access to the contents of its own sandbox but cannot access other applications’ sandboxes."

  • Inability to open file with appropriate application

    I am a huge fan of Symantec’s classic outlining program, More 3.1. Until OmniOutliner implements cloning, I will need to stay with MORE running in Classic on a non-Intel system since so much of my professional work is done in MORE.
    Just recently, I’ve noted a problem opening MORE files. Specifically, they all open in OmniOutliner (v3.6.2 Professional) if one double clicks on them.
    I’ve done a “Get Info”, navigated to “Open With”, navigated to the MORE application, chosen “All Applications” (rather than “Recommended Applications”), but am unable to select the More application (it remains dimmed out). In the past this process worked just fine.
    Interestingly, I am able to open these files from within MORE; ie, if the MORE application is running, I use MORE’s “Open File” command and all works well. All MORE files work fine when they are opened in this fashion.
    The only thing that I can think of is that I had to do an "Archive and Install" to repair damage from a system crash last week. Could this have somehow affected this Classic application’s opening process?
    I’ve “Repaired Permissions” via Disk Utility, and also run Applejack from single user mode. I’m running OS 10.4.10 on a 1.6 GHz PPC. All else on my system seems to be working perfectly.
    Any information as to how I may set my MORE files to open with the MORE application with a double-click or Command-O would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I suggest that you reset the LaunchServices database as detailed in:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html and
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486
    Restart, select a More document, and see if that fixes things.

  • Won't open files with default application

    When I try to open a file it opens preview instead of the default application and does not actually open the file! I have tried changing the default application but it does not help.  How can I fix this?

    Hello,
    Try dragging & dropping the file on the Application's icon that you want to open it with for a test.
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
    Reset Launch Services...

  • Opening files from java application by other programs

    Hi! Could you tell me how to solve such task. After saving of file on local drive by applet i need to show a link "View file" that will open file by assotiated programs (.doc - MSWord, .pdf - Acrobat Reader etc. applet will work on Linux platform too). Thanks!

    Just provide a link to the file and leave it up to the OS to determine which program to use to open it.

  • Trouble opening documents in client application. Credentials not being passed through.

    I have 2 different farms with the same problem which recently popped up. All files either open as read only (Office Documents) or users get an access denied error (PDF Files). Users are able to download the file, make changes and then upload it
    again. It seems like there is a problem passing credentials to Office and Adobe.
    The "Open With Explorer" option no longer works either which leads me to believe it is a problem with WebDAV.
    2 different environments experiencing the problem:
    Server 2012, SharePoint 2013 Server
    Server 2008 R2, SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
    Both are using windows authentication and Kerberos. The two farms are on different networks leading me to believe it is a browser or client issue. However, there is an additional 2013 foundation farm that is functioning correctly. I have compared local security
    policies, IIS settings, SharePoint web application settings and cannot find anything different between the functioning farm and the ones that are having the problem.
    The URL's are already in trusted sites.
    Databases are not in read only mode.
    WebClient Service is running on the client.
    I feel like I can rule out most of the client side issues because I have one farm that is working. I have also tried accessing the site from outside the network with my personal computer and it does not work there either. I am running out of ideas to try
    and fix this. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thank You!
