For all three the default is "checked".

"Display PDF in Browser" setting - $500 reward for the solution

The corporate policy requires the "Display PDF in Browser" setting to be unchecked for all applications, this is to open the PDF document in new reader instance but our specific application needs the reader to be opened in the same browser even if the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work? I am looking for programatic way to set this preference in HTML javasript or Java Applet or ActiveX or any other means. I am currently using JS and Object tag, the only functions that we need at this point are page navigation and getting current page using JS.
Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser? How can this be progrmatically achieved without altering the original PDFs?
I realize that this may be difficult and am looking for workarounds or alternate solutions to meet my req. $500 for anyone who could can provide solution.. Please email me [email protected]
thanks,
- Ray

Convince your IT people to allow folks to set their preference to display in browser.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When installing SQL Server is there a benefit to overriding the defaults for the Shared Feature Directory?

When installing SQL Server under feature selection you are given the option to change the Shared feature directories. When you choose to change from the default OS drive it seems that the installation
process still installs a large amount of files on the OS drive and then additional files under a similar drive structure on the alternative drive. Is there any real benefit to changing the default location?
Additional is there benefit to changing the default location for the installed features, database engine etc. We are trying to create some clean templates that we can bring up in our production
environment so we are provisioning separate drives for data, logs, backups, tempdbs but as we use the prepare image it seems like splitting the installation of sql server into two separate locations to safe minimally on file space seems counterproductive.
I have searched for best practices and this area seems glossed over in most articles, I found a few that indicate later installation of features on a machine that use a non-standard shared component
drive has caused issues. I would like to know there are benefits to taking such actions.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk

Hello,
The best reason I can think about installing SQL Server binaries on another drive different than the system drive is the
fact the page file (pagefile.sys) is located on the system drive by default. The more I/O I can prevent happening on that drive the better for the performance of operating system.
SQL Server still installs some binaries on the system drive anyway, and creating a partition for SQL Server binaries alone
may seem like a waste.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to specify a template other than the default for the Event Details Layout?

Just exactly what it sounds like, and probably a n00b question –– but any help appreciated. Basically, it looks as though the Detail Layout for an event clicked on through calendar display automatically pulls the default template; I'd like to use a different one there.
Thanks,
T.E.D.

Hi,
Click the "More options" bit on the event - See the Template selection dropdown? There.

Medium Resolution the default for Press Ready PDF?

After creating a document in ID3, and exporting to a Press Ready PDF, it automatically says, under the Advanced tab that the
Transparency flattener has set the preset resolution to "Medium". If all of the images are at high quality and 300 ppi why would this say "medium"?
Thanks.

Soooo, worked on this with my printer and this is what we came up with. He sampled the different Images (on one doc) and some came in at 230 dpi. some 600. so we have concluded that Pages will do a good job as for keeping the res. You just have to make sure; for example the 230 was a 300 5x7ish then I resized in the Mask to go up width 2 inches and of course lost the res.- so of course i must go back to the source and make my adjustment say in photoshop. WORK FLOW- i have decided to just layout> then go back as needed ( just the enlarged image). CMYK- the printer said DON"T take it out to photoshop to convert to CMYK ( as they can do it easy enough) and you risk sharpness in the font.
So that was a fun day of research!

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.

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.

Reader X " display PDF in browser" is checked but greyed out

Hello
I have a user who wanted to print double sided by default when opening a PDF on a web page. I found that by downloading the PDF, not printing from a browser, the user can print double- sided. But when I go in preferences the option to uncheck " display PDF in Browser" is greyed out? I'm tried running reader as admin, logging out and logging in as admin, restarting the PC, running all updates. I was going to edit the registry next but wanted to see if anyone had been having this problem? THee is no Acrobat on this Dell laptop, only Reader X. It is a Windows 7 PC, fairly new. Any help would be appreciated.

Please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e. 10.1.2 and enable the double sided printing as in the below figure:
Hope this helps.

HT2506 how do you set Preview as the default for opening pdf in browser?

How do I set the Preview application to be the default for viewing PDF's in while in Safari? Previously, while in Safari and clicking on links to PDF's, they would display with buttons on the bottom that made it simple to view and download the PDF. Since updating Adobe Reader it seems Reader is now the default application for viewing PDF's accessed from the internet. I haven't been able to figure out how to revert back to Preview.....

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.

Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files

I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
Does this sound right?
Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg
You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.
