Solved: No "Open" button for opening PDF in browser

Howdy,
One of our users - she has the same config as everyone else (imaged PC) - does not get an "Open" button when clicking a link to a PDF in Internet Explorer.  She is only presented with the "Save" or "Cancel" dialog box.  I've tried changing the "Display PDF in Browser" check box, various registry settings, etc - nothing works.
Please help!
Thanks!
Solution:  I unchecked "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" in IE at Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Tab - Under Security

I did this and now Safari won't open the form at all.
I put the files back and it opens in Adobe.
When I save the files to desktop they open in Preview. But I am trying to read pdf's(? forms) while in Safari.
Adobe does not work smoothly in Safari and scrolling to read is a nightmare.
OS X 10.8.5
This problem came up within the last few months.
Before everything opened in Preview perfectly.

  • How can I create a custom button for opening a form?

    I have a parent form having child forms. In my main form I want to create custom buttons for opening child forms. I want to use master-detail form but there are more than one child forms, and in master-detail form I can only create one detail form. So I will create a form based on a table and in that form I will call the child forms by custom buttons. Can I do that?
    Thanx,
    Gulsah.

    This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, create a button. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
    //this is the variable you want to pass from one form to the other
    get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
    //this is so you can open the "child" form
    window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
    In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
    htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
    < !--
    function getField(form,fieldName)
    var objName = "";
    var tmp = "";
    var dAction = "";
    var sel_idx = 0;
    var cnt = 0;
    var instance = 0;
    var slicedName;
    var fillData = new Array();
    for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
    slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
    tmp = slicedName[2];
    instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
    if (!tmp)
    continue;
    objName = tmp;
    if (objName == fieldName)
    return form.elements[i].value;
    //-->
    </script>');
    I hope this helps.

  • How to disable the Save button For a pdf?

    Hi,
    I have a requirement that when you open the livecycle developed pdf, the Save option available in the toolbar (Save As icon) and File menu of the Reader should be disabled. A button will be provided in the form separately to provide the Save functionality. Can anybody help me reg. this? Is there any setting available for this in Adobe Pro or any other tool?
    Regards,
    Maria

    It's not really difficult to disable the save button. But it depends on the context from where you want to delete it. even if you disable the save button the user has the option to print screen and create a fresh pdf. So your question has some philosophical aspects to deal with. Please mail me at [email protected] incase of further quries. I've understood your problem and have got a solution but it's not somewhat legitimate to do. I can share it with you through email.

  • How do I make full screen button for interactive PDF

    I know in Acrobat I can set the PDF to open in full screen mode. I want the PDF to open in normal view. There will be a full screen button. Click once and the PDF expands to full screen. Click again and the PDF reverts to normal size.
    I wasn't sure where to post this but figured this is the place to start. Any advice on how to do this appreciated.
    Here's a movie of a PDF that has the feature I'm seeking:
    Full Screen Normal Screen button
    Was testing the link and I see you need QT Pro to download. Here's a zip archive of the same movie for download.
    Movie Download

    The client (a woman's club) indicated that about half the women found the full screen annoying and the other half found normal view annoying. So I made it an option. Also, most PDFs I receive such as ID magazine have the option to view normal or full.
    One thing I haven't figured out is how to get the page you're on to be highlighted. So if you go to page 5 in PDF, I would want the button for 5 to be highlighted in red. I ended up using page numbers but would like to be a bit more streamlined.
    I received a PDF the other day and at the top when the page numbers and left/right arrows are, the page numbers read
    FC, IFC, 1, 2, etc.,
    IBC, BC. I thought that was pretty cool. I imagine it has something to do with pagination in ID. Have to see if I can figure that out.

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 pro, I tried using Document Processing -> Batch Processing, where I created a new sequence of commands from the available list, but it didn't work out as intended, and it doesn't cover the whole cycle I want.
    I hope you could tell me the way to accomplish this.
    Thanks.

    This can't be done in a batch process in Acrobat since you can't set an encryption password in this way (you can either set the same password to all files, or have the batch prompt you to enter each one separately).
    Also, where are the passwords and email addresses come from? Are they a part of the file? Stored in a text file or database somewhere?

  • Creating a Randomizer/Shuffle Button for interactive PDF in InDesign CS6 (PC)

    I'm creating a set of flashcards in InDesign CS6 (on a PC) so there are two sides (question then answer). I'd like them to "flip over" using an interactive PDF. That's not the problem - the tough part is linking the two sides (ie pages) together and creating a "randomizer" button so the user can shuffle the deck of flashcards in a new order while keeping the question and answer pages of each card together. Is that possible with an interactive PDF? I'd appreciate any info! The company is printing the flashcards and then offering them in a digital format to it would be great to be able to use one document for both purposes.

    Sorry, this is not possible in an interactive PDF file.
    You could probably do with SWF. You could probably include it a tablet app using HTML5 and JavaScript.
    But not in PDF.

  • Submit button for online PDF form doesn't work for some users

    Two online forms I've created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2 work fine for me. But when some of my site's users click on the Submit button in either form, it simply flashes and then does nothing. It's a standard Submit button with a Mailto link. The documents are PDF Version 1.7, and I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Reader 9.4. Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be great.

    Has this form been enabled with Form Rights for Reader.  If the entire PDF is submitted, then the PDF must be Reader enabled to operate on Reader. 
    Another issue is that an email submit is entirely dependant on the user's system.  There must be a local email client installed and registered with the system.  Internet email will not work.  This is the most likely issue.  Althougth there are other things that could be wrong.  You might want to consider using the Acrobat.com to distribute your forms.  This method gets around the email issue for most users. 
    Other issues that could cause this problem are the users' version of Acrobat/Reader as well as any kind of funky system/security setup.   

  • Top bar does not show for displaying PDFs in browser

    The top bar (the one that has: File-Edit-View-Documents-Tools-Window-Help) displays when the Preference is set to NOT display PDFs in my browser. But when I set the Preference to display PDFs in my browser, the top bar does not display.
    How can I get the top bar to display when my Preference is to display PDFs
    in my browser? That is the manner in which I use Acrobat Reader 90 percent of the time.
    I am using Acrobat Reader 9 which I just downloaded yesterday, my operating system is Windows XP (with Service Packs 1 and 2) and my browser is Internet Explorer.
    Can anyone here help me? Or is there a better place to get help on this?
    Milton Beychok

    Well the problem is that, in Windows, the menu bar is owned by the application. When you view the PDF in the browser, the browser owns the menu bar and chooses what to show. Hence it shows only the browser items and not the Reader menus. If you view it outside the browser, Reader is running stand-alone and shows it's menu items.
    I think, all you can do is show make sure the button bars you want are exposed by default.

  • Is it possible to add a shortcut to one or two very select websites to the navigational toolbar for convenient, one-click entry (i.e., which toolbar currently has buttons for viewing bookmarks and browsing history)?

    I would just like to be able to click once to get to one or two very important websites, just as I can now click once to show my viewing history (or scrapbook) in the sidebar.

    That's what the bookmarks toolbar is for.
    But putting single bookmarks there can fill it up quickly. Rather than a keyboard shortcut you can create a '''keyword shortcut''' for the bookmark, and that bookmark can be anywhere and out of sight. I keep all (most) of my keyword bookmarks in one folder on my bookmarks toolbar with the name beginning with the keyword. Here is an example, next door neighbor liked it for their netbook used at TV
    '''Name:''' tv: TV Listings - Find Local TV Shows and Movie Schedules - Listings Grid | TVGuide.com
    '''Location:''' http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/
    '''Keyword:''' tv:
    '''Description:''' PPP (User must be custom TV choices at Yahoo/TVGuide), start with zipcode (uncheck timezone), uses cookies, do for not logged in and for logged in. Must be logged in to pick your favorite channels to reduce list size.

  • Submit button for PDF

    The submit button on my PDF form (Acobat X pro) no longer works. I created a submit button for a PDF form about two months ago and it worked then, but it is no longer working.  Applicants fill the form out and email it back to us as an email attachment.
    Is there a limit to the amount of forms that can be sent to us?  I would appreciate suggestions.

    You say it's Reader-enabled, but that you didn't do FIle > Save As ...
    This is the process that causes it to be Reader-enabled, though putting it through the Distribute Form process does as well.
    What Reader-enabling does is allow Reader to save a filled-in document. It otherwise cannot, though it can fill. print, and submit (form/comment data only). Reader 11 changes this though as it is able to save a non-enabled form, but not everyone will have Reader 11 so you shouldn't count on it being used.
    If you distribute an enabled form that was enabled with Acrobat (as opposed to LiveCycle Reader Extensions), then you are limited by the Acrobat License Agreement from using data form no more than 500 instances of the form that has been returned to you, including hardcopies. Removing the submit button would make no difference.
    A different approach though that will make everything more reliable is to set up the form to be used with Adobe's FormsCentral. Submitting by email is fraught with problems, but submitting to a web server as with FormsCentral eliminates all that. It allows essentially an unlimited number of submissions, though the data table will only show 5000 at a time. It makes it easy to get at the form data, which is more convenient than with Acrobat. It also allows you to generate a copy of the filled-in form for a particular submission if you ever want one. It provides the user some feedback when the form is successfully submitted, unlike email. When you distribute a PDF via FormsCentral, it Reader-enables the form and you can then distribute it via email, web site, or some other means. It's also very reasonably priced. It can be set up to send you and others an email notification whenever anyone submits a form. It can also send the user a notification that it was received, as long as they include their email address in a field on the form. No, I don't stand to benefit from you using FormsCentral, though I heard I might get a gift card for referring folks.   
    Seriously though, it really is a nice service that you should consider.

  • Disable "Display PDF in browser" | Acrobat, Reader XI

    I understand this is the suggested method of disabling the "Display PDF in browser" is  http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html    However we would like to know if there is an API or something we can simply remove from the workstation to disable "Display PDF in browser". 
    Where is and what's the  name of the file IE loads for  "Display PDF in browser"
    Is there a Reg Key that we can modiefy to Disable "Display PDF in browser"?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
    Ed

    From the KB note: "Acrobat XI and Reader XI do not include a preference setting to open web-based PDFs. "
    In other words, what you want is already the default. All of the major browsers have their own PDF viewer. Moreover, the old reg pref "disable browser integration" never worked across all browsers due to the number of browsers and the rate at which they were evolving. That pref is removed in 11.x products.
    While I don't understand the question in your first bullet, the default browser behavior seems to be what you are looking for. Browser behavior should be configured with browser settings rather than Acrobat/Reader settings.

  • Trouble Setting "Display PDF in browser using" by MCX

    I want to force the PDF viewer in Safari to Mac OS X v10.6 built-in Preview Application instead of Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4.0).
    I found that unchecking "Display PDF in browser using:" in Acrobat's Preferences, sets the viewer in Safari to Preview. It seems unchecking this box modifies ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist. by creating the entry root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0.
    With that in mind I tried creating a MCX setting in my OD to apply root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0. Witch resulted in a grayed out, but checked settings for  "Display PDF in browser using:"
    I was wondering if any one has successfully figured out how to set this setting?

    Hi,
    Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
    To disable the plugin-
    1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
    2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
    3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
    4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
    5. Restart  Safari
    In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
    AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.
    You can check out this link for more information or if you want to track this discussion -

  • Adobe Reader 9.1  Disable Display PDF in browser

    Is there a registry setting I tweek to uncheck the box for Display PDF In Browser?  The only ones I could find grayed out the box but it didn't un check the box.

    I'm just confirming what anhnguyen7902 posted.
    This was tested against Acrobat Reader 9.3.1. I exported all of the registry keys from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\ with the "Display PDF in browser" setting enabled and disabled. Below are the only relevant differences when changing this setting from within Acrobat Reader.
    With the setting enabled, keys under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals] are...
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
    "bHostBasedCM"=dword:00000001
    "iPSLevel"=dword:00000000
    "sProofingSpace"=hex:55,2e,53,2e,20,57,65,62,20,43,6f,61,74,65,64,20,28,53,57,4f,50,29,20, 76,32,00
    "bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001
    With this setting DISABLED, keys under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals] are...
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
    "bHostBasedCM"=dword:00000001
    "iPSLevel"=dword:00000000
    "sProofingSpace"=hex:55,2e,53,2e,20,57,65,62,20,43,6f,61,74,65,64,20,28,53,57,4f,50,29,20, 76,32,00
    "bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001
    "bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
    The difference being the bBrowserIntegration key being present and set to dword:00000000 when this option is DISABLED, but the key being completely removed when the setting is ENABLED.
    While writing this post, I decided to test it against Acrobat Reader v4.2.1. The results were the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • Create script for a button to open a PDF using AS3

    I created a Flash movie in AS3 on the mac. I have several
    navigation buttons, I want to be able to click on a button and open
    a PDF. The finished movie will be an executable for the pc. I also
    want to do the same for a .swf file.

    Well, I think I got it working. The code I came up with seems a lot more simple than what I was experimenting with. I am pretty sure I did something earlier that was similar to this code but the current swf stayed with the player when the new one loaded, I am pretty sure the old swf is hiding underneath the new one but after some testing, the actual presentation is working as intended so I am waving the AS3 white flag and am accepting how this functions in its present state. I nearly gave myself a heart attack trying to get this simple function to work
    Anyway, heres my "final" code. If anyone sees something that should be adjusted, please let me know.
    play_iv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadmain);
    function loadmain(event:MouseEvent):void {
                var prevu_english:Loader = new Loader();
                prevu_english.load(new URLRequest("assets/PreVu - English.swf"));
                addChild(prevu_english);
    Also, Thankyou Ned. You pointed me in the right direction. If I didn't keep looking at the loader class, I probably would have spent days doing trial and error until I got somewhere.

    Hi,
    I hope I understood your question correctly, if so my suggestion may be helpful. Otherwise I think it's nearly the same what paul writes, I only made clear my proposal in a website for you, first a photo:
    and here is the link: http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/pdf/adob_pdf.php.
    Note 1: "Ausgabe 9" und "ein Mausklick hier genügt" are links!!
    Note 2: " Um pdf-Dateien ...." Means: To read pdf files, you need the free Adobe Reader. The current version you can download from the Adobe website.
    Look at it's source code.
