I have my resume hosted on resume.momohossa.in
My issue is that when I try to reach this site on my computer, it just opens in a new page. However, when I try to open it on my phone, it has to download the file. Then, I have to open the downloaded file on a PDF viewer such as adobe. I would like for it to not immediately download on my phone. Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you in advance!
By default, on iOS devices, its safari browser can view PDF file directly, and for android deveices, its chrome browser also can do that.
make sure you pdf file is not a stream output file. just make it a static file, e.g. http://host/target.pdf not http://host/pdf/target

This is the link for pdf
http://185.62.36.66:812/web/viewer.html?file=%2Fdownloads%2FMjEwLTEucGRm.html#textLayer=off
There is no download button and no printing
Is there anyone who can upload it to me?
I think it is somewhere in properties of program where do you edit pdf file or right-click on that file and hit properties, and check Read-Only. Then upload the Read-Only applied file to web.
Does anyone have an example of VBA code to automatically download a file from Google Drive. I can get to viewing the file in Chrome but then I have to manually select 'Download'. I would like to press a button and then pick the downloaded file from my default 'Download' folder. No in-between intervention.
One option would be to launch the users default web browser with a direct link to download your file from Google Drive, this would prompt the user to Save As / Open your user guide in the same way that it would if they clicked to download a PDF from a website and so might be sufficient.
This question's answer details how to open a url in browser, and you can use this website to create direct download links from Google Drive share links.
Using the 'GetspecialFolder' UDF, you can download files from any cloud drive as simple as:
FileCopy GetSpecialFolder(vbDirGoogleDrive) & "MyFile.DOC", GetSpecialFolder(vbDirDownloads) & "MyFile.DOC"

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/
i have to show pdf file in the blackberry by first downloading it from the server. is there any default feature that blackberry provides to show the pdf in blackberry app?
all suggestions will be appreciated...thanx
As far as I know there is no default viewer on the BB to show local PDF files (outside the attachments). You will have to use a third party tool (or write your own viewer)... See this thread for more info.
One interesting option you can use is have the pdf in a browser accessible location and pass in code the url of the file to the browser - this should open the file using the BB compressed view (the attachments viewer), though it might only be available with BES/BIS, not sure.
