WAD - Link to open PDF file

Hello,
I created an application in WAD - some tables, some buttons etc. I need to add a link (or button, not the matter), where user can click to open attached PDF file. PDF can be stored anywhere (i.e. in "Documents" in RSA1 or as a regular file on the server). Any idea? When I use the "Document" web item, it opens a parameters window, not the document itself. I need to open just a document.

Hi Arelis,
either you can use a hyperlink as described by Andrey or a button. There is a quite good post which describes how to open a document by using a java script coding behind a regular web template button:

  • Link to open pdf file in new window

    I want to create a link on a web page to open a pdf file in a
    new window. I used the "on click" "open brower window". Which does
    open the pdf file, but not in a new window. How do I open it in a
    new window?

    Your code is a mess:
    ** there is no apparent reason for the span:
    <td><span class="style1"
    onfocus="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_launch.pdf','','')">Milford, OH
    So change that line to:
    <td>Milford, OH
    ** here you have two double quotes before This.
    <a title="”This" class="pdfFile"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_Launch.pdf','','')"
    Change it to this, (with some other improvements):
    <a title="This" class="pdfFile"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow(this.href,'','');return false"
    ** This is code salad:
    href="”PR_Launch.pdf”" link="" will="" open="" a=""
    .pdf=""
    file.”="">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
    230kb)</a></span></td>
    Change it to:
    href="pdf/PR_Launch.pdf">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
    230kb)</a></td>

  • Add link to open pdf file in dps publication

    I hope someone can help as this is really urgent.
    I have followed the instructions from 'DPS Tips' regarding creating a HTML Resources folder and compressing the folder containing the PDF files etc... However when I do this, update my folio and go to open the pdf in my DPS folio displayed through content viewer on my iPad, it pops up saying 'cannot open page. The error is - the requested URL is not found on this server'
    Does anyone know how I can sort this, I have followed every instruct, tried several pdfs and buttons etc.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    1. Create a file.zip with name HTMLResources.zip
    2. Import for article
    3. Create a button with action "Go to URL" and put the code "HTMLResources/namefilePDF.pdf
    Put the name of the PDF, for example:
    I Have 3 files pdf: one.pdf, two.pdf, three.pdf, I create a file.zip of the all files pdf and put name HTMLResources.zip.
    In action of the button I put HTMLResources/one.pdf
    For viewer the file PDF with name one.pdf
    Test by the Viewer Folio Builder
    Something tells me
    Dirce

  • Not able to open links to open pdf files, nothing happens, no error messages.

    work site requires pdf files to be downloaded, after updating FireFox I can't do this any longer. I have added site to "exception" for pop-ups, still nothing.

    There needs to be an entry for the XI/ PI server....unless you make an entry you wont be able to access the links....can you try accessing the following link:
    http://<IP-Address of PI>:<JAVA PORT of PI>/rwb/FrontComponent/FC_Secure.jsp?doAction=showMessageMonitoring
    pi.com is not a standard....it was just an example.....thats why i mentioned get the FQDN from your team members

  • Link to another pdf file

    Hi all.
    I am using the Acer Iconia W500 tablet with Android 3.0.
    I have a big problem with links in a pdf file, which should open another pdf file.
    Is this with Adobe Reader impossible or is there a solution?
    I have the following folder structure:
         -folder A
              -pdf file 1
              -subfolder B
                   -pdf file 2
              -subfolder C
                   -pdf file 3
    In pdf file 1 there are two links, which open pdf file 2 or pdf file 3. In pdf file 2 and pdf file 3 is a link, which opens pdf file 1 again.
    With my notebook and Adobe Reader X there are no problems opening pdf files from another pdf file.
    Thanks for reading my problem and hopefully for solving it.
    Fabian

    Hi Fabian,
    The pdf file you are talking about is a Portfolio (earlier called a Package File)? Portfolio files are basically pdf files in which we can have sub-folders or any other files (pdf, or, non-pdf)?
    If yes, then we do have good support for Portfolios in Adobe Reader X.
    Would it possible for you to share the pdf file you are concerned about?
    Thanks,
    prakhar

  • Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

    Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • When I click a link to a pdf file, I'm only presented with a save box,not a choice to just view the file. I have been able to view linked files in the past, but not anymore. I have to save the file to downloads then go to downloads and open it.

    when selecting a link to a pdf file , I'm only given the choice to save it ..not view it ? How do I change that ..?

    That depends on how the server sends the file.
    If this is a MIME (content) type that is supported by other software then you can open the file automatically.
    If the file is send with a generic content type like application/octet-stream or as Content-Disposition:attachment then you can only save the file.

  • Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

    I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
    http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
    It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
    Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
    These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks...Jim

    Sorry for the insufficient info.
    My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
    The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
    Can you help me with this?

  • Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

    Hi Everyone,
    I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
    I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
    Many Thanks,
    John

    There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
    If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
    If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?

  • Can't open pdf files from sites as shown in troubleshooting info but it works OK in IExplorer. Help, please

    I can no longer open pdf files when clicking on a link such as: shown in troubleshooting info.
    It used to work on earlier version when I had XP, now I'm Win7Pro and using version 5.0.1 The links work fine with Internet Explorer. Help, please.

    Type in '''about:plugins''' into the location bar and press "Enter", at the the top is a line for plug-ins test pointing to [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck/]
    You should have Version: 10.1.0.534 for adobe acrobat but you have two older versions instead. If the one does not replace both you may have to disable the really old one, or remove through the control panel.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

  • Safari can't open PDF files?

    My Safari 1.3.1 operating in MacOS 10.3.9 cannot open any PDF files. Whenever I click on a link from which a PDF file can be downloaded, Safari asks me to select an Acrobat application. I do select Acrobat Reader 7.0.7 from my Applications folder, but then Safari only gives me a blank window, with no PDF file to view. The problem is likely in Safari, because I've also tried to open the PDF files stored in my own webpage, which I know that open and read well with other web browsers. I've also read the Help area of Safari, but it gave no useful clue to solve this problem. I have two eMacs and this same problem happens in both computers, that is, I can't open any PDF file using Safari! Does anyone know how to do it? Please write me back to [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Ricardo
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Safari 1.3.1 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.7

    I have already set the Desktop folder as the download destination. Safari simply does not put the PDF files there. Again, it asks me for the application to use, I choose AR 7.0.7, but then I get a blank window instead of the opened PDF file that I need to see. If anyboyd knows how to solve this, please let me know. Thanks.
