when opening PDF file from sharepoint file it opens as web view and not using Adobe Reader (which installed on the client).
Can some one suggest how to make it open in Adobe reader?
thanks.
This is a client setting, not something you have control over from the web. Even if it were possible, with a workaround/hack to change the behaviour, it would be bad practice to do so, since the user may have picked in their preferences to have PDFs display in browser.
You can point them at an article like this: http://www.mydigitallife.info/disable-pdf-from-opening-in-web-browser-ie-firefox-opera-safari/ to help them let all their PDFs open in a new Adobe Reader session.
It is a simple browser add-on setting. Adobe has posted instructions for multiple browsers at:

I have a program that exports .SVG files perfectly according to my native desktop viewer or Google Chrome (browser viewer).
However, when I open files in PPT/Illustrator, it doesn't load properly and I can't edit them further.
Is there documentation to learn how to comply with the .SVG filetype those programs expect?
If not, what's the best way to find the team or an engineer working on it to get more info?
Otherwise, it's a matter of wasted time with trial and error.
I would like to create a shockwave file that can display a website with an internal webbrowser or something similar. The final target to display the website in a pdf file, but I think the only way to do this, is the swf trick.
I tried to find resources for this on the web, but found nothing.
UPDATE:
I am looking for a way to display a website in a downloadable pdf file. The website is only one html file fuelled by jquery and css.
Download SWF template for your website and edit it in macro media flash editor.
I would use a PHP script to create a PDF file (my choice for this kind of stuff is TcPDF, which has many example/how to scripts ready to use), and I'd put a captured image of my website in it; there are several websites offering this service for free, just google it, for example webthumbnail.org.
Disclaimer: I'm not linked to TcPDF nor Webthumbnail.org in any way, they are just the first examples that came into my mind.
Firstly let me state that I have zero experience with Sharepoint so this may be a pretty stupid question.
I started a new job yesterday and part of the induction is viewing the company literature via their Sharepoint portal. I've noticed that whenever I try to access an embedded PDF link via Chrome it seems like it's a broken link and appears to do a Google search instead. Yet when I try the exact same steps using IE all works as expected.
I don't want to raise this with my boss if it's going to make me look a little stupid! Is there some cross browser issue with PDF links?
Thanks.
Darren, try flushing the cache in Chrome, and if necessary, log off and log back into your computer. We've had the same problem with Chrome and Google doesn't seem to be fixing the problem (although they might point the finger back at Microsoft).
Yes I have the same issue with Chrome and Firefox
Sharepoint is optimized for IE and vice versa
You also can't open Files with the "Check in and Check out" functionality because only IE is able to do that from Sharepoint (Other Browsers will just Download the File)
You can try using AddOns like IE-Tab
(simply uses the IE algorithms within FF and Chrome for specific Sites)
But its better to use Sharepoint with IE
Is there a browser plugin or an extension that allows the user to view .doc files in browser?
I need to embed in my application, a document viewer. So far, I tried using services like google docs, but this solution doesn't work for our application, because of some security problems.
Do you know about the Office Web Apps? Microsoft developed something similar to Google Docs and you can use the Word Web Application to view Word files. It will pretty much display anything - a lot of editing functions from the offline version are not available though.
If you are just looking for a viewer search for "Word ActiveX Viewer" and you will find plenty (commercial) viewers.
To have IE open the .doc within the browser and not in a separate winword.exe, you need to define the association at client end.
As .doc file is an external resource to HTML, it would download the file into its temp, and then attempt to launch it. It would launch it using the default program that it is associated with.
To control this behavior, please have a look at:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/sharing/opendocinie.html
I thought Internet Explorer + Microsoft Office used to do this by default?
I can for sure tell you that other than converting the doc to html you won't get a cross-browser, cross-platform solution.
Since you are saying it's for viewing only, that would seem like the way to go.
I want to upload the audio from user to server. How can i do it from browser itself. My main application is browser based. I am looking for browser and non browser based solution but It should be Open Source. That is why i put "without flash" in subject. With Java applet user will face problem in installing jre !! is there any hope that in near future browser will support such feature. Do we have any addon in firefox which can help in this regard.
What is the requirement for Open Source specifically relating to? There are open source/free software ways to produce flash content for the browser. You aren't tied to the Adobe Flash IDE.
Look into these products:
FlashDevelop
Adobe Flex SDK (Free download)
At the time of this question, there wasn't a way to do this. Today we can use html5 and the GetUserMedia function for the main browsers (safari is the exception) . There are many articles and examples on that subject.
One good example can be found here:
