when i am trying to view files from my TFS document library it's download the file instead of opening it automatic with excel OR word that are already installed on my pc, does someone know how to fix it?
i am using office365 and TFS2015 as you can see at the screenshot that attached this is how it's look like in PC that working fine.
This kind of issue may related to your IE security setting, try to add the related sharepoint site in trust site and try again:
Close your browser (if you don't and you have your SharePoint site up you'll get a bunch of script errors because of the change to access
levels).
Go to your Control Panel
Open Internet Properties
Select the Security tab.
Select Trusted Sites
Click Sites, and add the URL for your SharePoint site.
More details please refer this similar issue: "Some files can harm your computer" dialog when I open a file from the document library
If the warning dialog is disappear, but when you open file still download. Then that behavior maybe defined by your browser. Try some other browser such as IE/Chrome/FireFox. Double check the integration/link of your browser and Word,Excel.

Until today I have been able to download data studio reports as pdfs and, with the exception of some content errors, it has always worked as expected. Now, rather than downloading as a pdf, the report opens as a pdf looking file with a blob:https:/ /datastudio.google.com/4138d etc. URL which according to Chrome is an insecure connection. Trying to download this file results in a "Network Error"
page that I get when selecting download as pdf
I have tried checking for malware on Chrome and cannot see anything wrong. I have also restarted my PC and refreshed data studio.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I agree with #wilburforcethebrave - all dashboards were downloading without an issue until yesterday and now receiving intermittent errors such as "blob:https:/ /datastudio.google.com/4138d"
Printing the dashboard as a PDF is helpful if the report is one page, but does not work for multiple pages.
I think I found a fix though so you can download Data Studio reports in Chrome.
Click the 3 dots next to your photo in chrome (right under the 'X' button on windows)
Go to 'Settings'
Select 'Privacy and Security' from the left side menu
Select 'Site Settings' from the presented menu
Under the 'Content' section, select 'Additional content settings'
Click 'PDF documents'
Click the 'Download PDFs' button
Changing this setting will download PDFs directly to your downloads folder without opening a separate PDF window in Chrome. To make sure your downloads folder is the default folder click 'Advanced' on the left side menu then click 'Downloads'. You can change your download location from here or turn on the option to have Chrome ask where to save with each download request.
Also, downloading the reports with another browser will work too. I did not have any issues downloading reports with Firefox.
I have been having the same issue with this today, and have found a work around. Instead of downloading it in the new tab that opens, click the print button instead. From the print menu, change the printer to "Save as PDF", and it should be able to save as normal. Not sure why we had this issue but this seemed to allow us to download it as a PDF.
I do not have any problem when I export multiple pages dashboard and print as pdf. I suggest you may want to check your pdf print driver within the browser itself.
I am trying to trace down a runtime error that is happening to a few team members while attempting to open a PDF file link from Access. The VBA code is using an Application.followhyperlink to pass a hyperlink to our SSRS report server. The VBA code correctly passes the URL (it works on my machine) which opens a dialogue box (Microsoft Office) asking the user if they, "Would like to open this file?". What is supposed to happen is that a web browser opens with the link (and then the PDF file opens from it), but instead the code breaks with the error message of: Run Time Error '15' - Can not open the specified file.
It feels like the issue is with the web browser security (or windows) security.
We are running Microsoft Edge as the default browser. I have tried to play with the security settings with no luck.
Anyone else experience this or have a solution?
Thank you, Brent
Our IT department updated the user's browser (edge) and it resolved the issue. I also tested the code in the links provide and it also worked. Thank you!
I would like you to help me to understand this situation. From a web application (ASP.NET MVC), I generate files in docx and xlsx. In Internet Explorer (V11) it show a box asking if user want to "Open", "Save" or "Save as" this file. When user select "Open", it open the file in Microsoft Word (or Excel), but the file is not in Internet Explorer's temporary file folder. File point toward the web application URL. This cause an issue when user "Enable Editing" on this opened docx or xlsx file. The "Enable Editing" action change the content of the file for the login page of the web application, which is wrong.
The issue doesn't happend in Chrome or Firefox, nor if user "Save" or "Save as" files. Too, it doesn't happend on all PCs.
Until now I did: compare IE advance setting with a working PC, compare IE security setting with a working PC, reset IE settings and opened a docx file from GMail (the issue didn't happen)
I use Microsoft office 2013
Thanks for your advices
I found the answer.
In my code I didn't have the Response header "content-disposition" when generating files.
I have set up a webdav folder that I can access thorugh chrome and edit files and save them back to the server, for example, I can open a word doc, edit it and save it back.
When I come to open a pdf, it wont save back to the server and downloads a copy of the pdf instead of the original.
Is there a way of enabling this to edit a pdf?
My end goal is to be able to open a pdf, add comments/highlights and save it back to the server, through my browser.
Thank you
Edit:
I have set this up through Apache 2.4, no plug ins through chrome, I have mapped a network drive to the server folder where I can open and edit files. Except PDFs, I would like to add comments to a off but when I open one the option is greyed out and when I try and save it after opening it tries to save to my desktop.
I'm not sure i've got your use case right, but if i've understood you correctly you have a link in a web page to a PDF which you're viewing in chrome. You click on that link and the PDF downloads to a temp file from which it is opened. If you edit and save those changes are simply saved to the temp file on your local PC. Is that correct?
If so, then this is simply normal behaviour for links in web pages. There is absolutely nothing in the HTML standard which suggests links should be opened by an editor with knowledge of the source location.
What you really want is for the link to launch an editor program which retrieves the remote document in edit mode (probably locking the remote resource) and then have edits saved back to the server. For this to happen there generally needs to be some special interaction in the browser. In Internet Explorer this is provided by the sharepoint dll and special script code. I think there's a plugin for Chrome which does the same thing, although differently.
I havent used the Chrome plugin, but i think this might help - https://code.google.com/p/npapi-msdocs/
This is my first time trying to edit a sharepoint file. It is used as a list of links in an iframe on a web site on another server. But this has nothing to do with the problem. I have been asked to modify the list of links and I just want to get to it and do it. But however one does this, it does not seem very intuative to me.
Let me tell you the steps I have taken and how things go wrong and maybe I can get some advice. The sharepoint file is on a server that I log into remotely. I run the "Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration". On the page that comes up, I click on "Manage web applications" under "Application Management".
From there, I see the page I want to edit. But when I click on the name of the item (which appears in red text) the area is hilighted but nothing happens. In the ribbon menu at the top of the page there is a drop down entitled "Site Actions" but there is no option there to "edit". Please advice.
I was given a username and password to "log in" because I was told I need that. The idea was that maybe I need a special admin account to see the missing menu options to edit a page. But at first I could not use it to log on to the server where the sharepoint system is. Then I found that I could try to use it to log onto the "Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration" program. But this did not work.
Then I tried to see if there was anything I could so from the desktop computer. I found "Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010"
I tried this and it looked promising"

But then eventhough I could see the file name, I could not edit the file:
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/SSO/SSO4_zpsca7d0f71.jpg
I went back to the server and tried a few other things. I tried to switch my account in the Central Adminstration to this special account that someone suggested had more privledges but it did not work. The error said "Error: Access Denied". I tried putting the web page in the address bar and that just brought up the page without any way of editing it.
Please advise.
Central Administration is not meant for content editting. That is the core of SharePoint with all kind of configuration options.
You have to create a web application for content editting and create a site collection there. In that site collection you can edit the page, add webparts, etc. In your case you can try a Publishing Portal template for your site collection and add a content editor webpart. In that content editor webpart you can put HTML for your iframe.
