I'm wondering if it is possible to force an Open/Save dialog for an inline PDF?
I have a link that opens a new window with an inline PDF in it. I was able to prompt the dialog by changing registry settings, but only if I changed my preferences in Adobe Reader (Internet > uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser'). So basically if the PDF is opening in Reader I can get a dialog.. but is this possible for inline PDFs? Thanks everyone.
You need to change "Content-disposition" attribute of the header of your http respose accordingly.

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.
I am generating a PDF document and displaying it in a Web browser (current version of IE is most important target). I want to suppress the floating toolbar (see below) that appears and disappears depending on mouse movement.
Is there a way to suppress this? I can control the PDF document (it's built using itextpdf), as well as the Url.
I think that is the preference of the user.
What you can do is to add #toolbar=0 to the end of the URL.
For example,
http://DOMAIN/FILE_NAME.pdf#toolbar=0
Something you might want to do is:
<embed src="MyFile.pdf#toolbar=0&scrollbar=0&navpanes=1" width="530" height="300" />
For details of parameters, please visit PDF Open Parameters.
What you're looking for isn't possible.
Read the answer by Leonard Rosenthol (Adobe's PDF architect) on the iText mailing list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/55112/focus=55120
Since version X of Adobe Reader, there is a new mode called "Read Mode",
which is the default viewing mode when you open a PDF in a web browser.
In "Read Mode" you can find a semi-transparent floating toolbar containing
basic reading controls, such as page navigation, print and zoom.
Unchecking "Display in Read Mode by Default" can be done from Edit > Preferences > Internet
in Adobe Reader X but it there is no way to disable "read mode" programmatically.
This the way:
myPdfView.put_src("D:\Recomendations.pdf#toolbar=0&navpanes=0&scrollbar=0");
You are welcome...
I've worked on a requirement that allows me to show a PDF file inside a browser by doingo a Response.ContentType = "application/pdf".
The problem is that the default view of the PDF is always showing the bookmarks menu at the left, is there a way by using HTTP headers or something to tell the PDF viewer not to show the bookmarks section?
Thanks in advance.
There's two ways that you can do it. The way that I would recommend is to actually open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and go to File, Properties. On the Initial View tab you'll see a lot of options for how to display the PDF. The second way I haven't tested but Adobe says you can pass various querystring options to the PDF. The one you'd probably want is http://example.org/doc.pdf#pagemode=none
The way how a PDF document is displayed can be configured inside the PDF document.
There are a lot of PDF editors that can modify the "viewer preferences" as it is mostly called. One free example is BeCyPDFMetaEdit.
Is it possible to disable the pdf toolbar when generating a pdf from a Jasper Report?
Is your PDF being opened by an external PDF Reader, like Adobe or Foxit?
If so, then I don't think so, this is the toolbar of the application itself.
On the other hand you can use PDF Viewer, a viewer that comes integrated with JasperReports. This one you can control. But then you will limit the user if he wants to do anything with the PDF.
In my own experience, I way keep it. If you remove it, the customer will soon ask for tools to zoom in and out, and maybe even to annotate.
We have a downloadable PDF file which looks great at 72% magnification in Adobe Reader and not so good at 101%. When downloaded and opened in the reader, its default magnification is 101%.
Is there a way to define the default magnification in the PDF file itself so that we ensure the best user experience?
Thank you!
If you can control the URL used to download, you can put parameters in the URL to control how the built-in reader will display the file.
For example, http://example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50 will set the magnification to 50%.
See: https://www.evermap.com/AutoBookmark/Manual/OpenParameters.htm
The above applies to the built-in reader supplied by Adobe. Other readers may not honor the parameters. In particular, see the answer to this question regarding Chrome.
An example of how to define magnification when opening a file (regardless of the default one):
AcroRd32 /A "zoom=50=OpenActions" sh.pdf
First, this is a programming website, so you should identify a programming context. This question will probably be closed because it belongs on the soon to be launched serverfault.com
To set the default magnification, you need Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional not Reader to have the ability to edit pdfs. Then when you open the document, click File | Properties. Click the Initial View tab and enter 72% in the magnification text box and click ok. Save your pdf and reopen it. It should default to 72% magnification when it is opened.
Note: I am unsure if other open source pdf editors provide this type of functionality.
Update: Standard doesn't work for saving magnifications.
For Adobe Standard, go to "Edit" then "Preferences."
When you click on the "Page Display" tab on the left, you'll see a panel with a field called "Zoom," where you can select a percentage from a drop-down menu.
If the above suggestions are not working it may be because the bookmarks can contain zoom instructions in their properties. To look at the bookmark properties select a bookmark in the bookmark panel and right click it to open properties. Choose actions. There should be a description of actions that will be applied when clicking on the bookmark.
The best solution I have found is that you can add a subsequent property for zoom instructions that will execute following the initial one, and set the page zoom to your specifications. To do this, select all of the bookmarks, right click to open properties, then actions, then choose the add function. After choosing add, find the zoom instruction that is the best fit for what you are looking for.
If you want to edit the initial zoom instruction through the edit function in bookmark properties on all bookmarks, you cannot select all, because, although the zoom will be set correctly, every bookmark will be set to one bookmark page. If you wish to edit the properties this way you must edit each, one by one.
