Netsuite how do I open a file in the browser (Doc, excel) without downloading

Files which are uploaded onto the system will only show in a new browser if it is an image or PDF. If it's any other file format it will automatically download the file. Is there a way around this?
I have tried using SuiteScript to access the file and open it in a new browser but, it will download it once opened in a new browser.

Links in excel stop working when file is saved

I was emailed an excel file with a number of links to install direct printer queues. If I open the excel attachment directly from the email the links work, but if I save the attachment to my desktop the links no longer work and I get an error “Cannot open the specified file”.
If I copy the link into Windows explorer, it works fine. Is there a way to ensure the links still work from excel when the file is saved in a shared location so anyone with access to the file can click on the links without having to copy the link into Windows explorer?

React - Open PDF files without importing them

I'm trying to find a way to open PDF files directly from its location. I know I can use this to open files.
import pdf from './file.pdf
Open Pdf
But this is not going to work for me, I'm building an item list app with React and Node for a small company I work for, and every new item needs to have a certificate that is in PDF. User needs to be able to add PDF file when creating a new item and open it when needed. They want the app to be live on the internet, but all certificates to be on their local server, so only people that are connected to their network can see them. Is this possible to do?
I was thinking just to save the path to pdf file in the database and then use that path to display it in app. Something like this.
Open certificate
But I can't make it work right now, even when the file is in the same folder as my app.
you can use require function.
Open certificate

Automatically select save option in webbrowser file download dialog box

I have a c# desktop app which connects to a site via a web browser control. The problem is I need to navigate to a specific section and download a excel file which is generated from a postback. I would like to either automate this process or bypass the file download dialog and save the file directly to a local drive.
Problem
The link is not a standard url. The site uses a postback script to get the file needed which then displays the file download dialog box. E.g. When you click on the button (javascript: postback) the file download dialog box is automatically loaded.
As stated I want to bypass the save options and automatically store the file in a predefined location. Any help would be much appreciated.
I find AutoIt http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ very useful for these kind of tasks. If you want to integrate it with your C# app, then you can call your AutoIt script via system calls. The difficulty is finding and following the link on the page, that will depend on how the page is laid out.

reading excel file from browser in the jsp

I am new to Jsp. I am developing the tool for testing usage, and have succeeded to open the excel file in the browser from the jsp application. However, i am not able to modify or edit the opened excel sheet.
Please help how to modify the excel in the browser.
You cannot do this when displaying the file inline in a browser or doing a 'Open file' when getting a download popup. Simply because the file is then copied into client's disk file system. If you save the edits, it's saved in the same copy on the client's disk file system. This does not affect the original file in the server side in any way.
There are basically 2 ways to achieve your requirement:
Let client download a copy of the excel file and store it in the client side disk file system, so that the client can edit and save it locally. Give the client the possibility to upload the edited file back. In the server side just replace/backup the original file.
Use HTML forms the smart way to mimic an Excel sheet and use a Java Excel API (Apache POI, JExcelAPI, etc) to map between this data and the actual Excel file which is stored in the server side disk file system.
Have you looked at JExcel?
The FAQs also explain how to use the API with jsp.
