SharePoint 2010 & Web Parts & PDF links does not open in Adobe client - pdf

Good Afternoon All,
I have a report that lists a series of pdf document from a document library in SharePoint. When I click on a one of the documents from this web part, then IE will try to download the pdf document. What I want is....a pdf document to open in the adobe reader client from the web part, without using OpenPDF.js or any third party client library. This works when I click on a link of a pdf document directly from a document library. In this case the document opens adobe reader client.
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,

If your tag for the link looks like
<a href="DocLink" title="Tooltip">
Try
<a href="DocLink" title="Tooltip" target="_blank">

Fillable PDF form with button to upload completed PDF to web server

I'm trying to find a way to host some fillable PDF forms on our website that people can download, fill out, and then they have a SUBMIT button on it that would 1) upload the completed form to a folder on our web server as a PDF file, and then ideally 2) email a direct link to the file on the server. I know how to add the button, just not clear on the actions side for this scenario.
Adobe docs have some info here, https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/publishing-interactive-pdf-web-forms.html, but nothing specific to what I need.
Does anyone have any experience with this? And if it's even a realistic goal given the number of different PDF readers, browser-based viewers, etc and how it would be supported by all?
Thanks in advance

Can you embed a separate pdf into Indesign and open it after exporting to PDF?

I would like to ask the following if possible. We have a client that wants a separate pdf document, embedded in a main pdf document and opens when you click it. Like the function in MS Word where you can attach another Word document inside a Word document (Word-ception, lol) and you can still open it.
I've tried it in Acrobat Pro with the Attachment and Link tools. Another option was to put the link document in an ftp server for accessibility. but our client really wants this functionality. Is this possible in Indesign?
Thank you!
Using Word as your example vehicle there are several ways to link 2 documents.
One is an appendix to the other, in PDF terms is a merge or binding but its one flowing document with separate sequential sections/chapters.
Another way is to link to an external file, in PDF terms a hyperlink to a relative second file, which can be locally folder relative or a web absolute reference. You have tried that.
In Word we can add objects internally with icons, in PDF that can be an annotation comment attachment to save externally and action accordingly. You also seem to discount that approach.
Finally PDF offers an Adobe Specific Structure where multiple PDFs attachments can be imbedded in an overall PDF wrapper. These are called Portfolios and not! to be confused with their portfolio service
They are unpopular since in a browser without Adobe Reader they should only offer the cover page.
Whilst in securer offline readers the files may well be shown as attachments that you need to save or independently open to view them.
Only some non Acrobat viewers may view them as a collection. And in the past that required runing insecure SWFlash, But I understand that has changed ?
Here is how the 3 internal PDF files seen above were shown in older Acrobat 9.
Possibly the best experience is using Foxit Reader

How to copy only specific page content of pdf to clipboard?

I had tried to copy the whole document(which is in pdf format) to notepad and word but now I want to move at some specific page of document let say 3 and I want to store the content only of that page to the clipboard. Is there any way to do that?
Till all I know is how to store the whole document in the clipboard.
program acrord32
keyboard ⋘ALT⋙⋘DOWN⋙⋘3⋙
keyboard ⋘CTRL+A⋙⋘CTRL+C⋙
♥doc1 = ♥clipboard
Using keyboard CTRL+A in Adobe Acrobat always select ALL text in WHOLE ALL pages.
But there are other options.
This option is available in NOT FREE version in example "Acrobat Standard DC" or "Acrobat Pro DC". Unfortunatelly these versions are paid applications. In these version has function named "Extract pages" and you can specify that each page as separate file. After extraction you have any file with once page and you can using CTR+A :)
But we have alternative option by using google chrome. Open PDF file in google chrome and send file to print with change printer as "Save as PDF". There you can specify page as new file PDF.

PDF opens in Acrobat X but not programatically in VB.NET

I've written an interface with a 3rd party web service in VB.NET. The final step in that interface involves the 3rd party delivering to us (as a stream) a PDF document. After streaming is complete I save a copy of the PDF on our servers, so that our users can view the PDF by clicking on a link in our system. The PDF opens fine in Acrobat X, but when I try to open it programatically I an error saying that "the file is damaged and could not be repaired". I can also open the file in IE just fine, with no issues, and the same code that displays this PDF works just fine on lots of other existing PDFs that predate the 3rd party interface.
I have emptied out temporary internet files as suggested in some posts I saw online. I also opened the PDF in Notepad++ and the %PDF tag is first, and the %%EOF tag is last, so there's certainly no corruption visible in the document source that I can see. Below is the (very standard) code we use to open PDFs into a separate browser instance on our site:
PDFFile = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & Request.QueryString("LetterPath") & Request.QueryString("Letter")
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.BufferOutput = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.WriteFile(PDFFile)
Response.Flush()
Anyone dealt with this before or have any ideas?
Adding a Response.End() should do it.

Is there any open source library for rendering doc, xls, ppt and pdf to html code?

I would like to write a "quick look" feature for my web application, that allow user "view" these kind of document on the web page, how can I do so? Thank you.
You could use OpenOffice which can open all of those formats. OpenOffice can also be used to convert a document to HTML. All that can be done through a Java API on the server (no GUI required).
I do not know how good the generated HTML is though, but it might be worth trying.
For PDF you will need an OpenOffice plugin that enables OpenOffice to open PDFs (for editing).
Check out the Crocodoc API. Crocodoc provides an HTML5 viewer (no Flash!) which you can embed in your web pages. It's free for non-commercial use.
