Browser add-in: cannot Open file?

Post by bob_sun »

Hi,

I would like to ask a question on viewer’s browser add-in.

I found that although opened PDF files embedded in browser can be saved, the viewer doesn’t allow “Open File”. Is there a way to solve it?

You can use the browser's open file command and enter *.pdf as the file pattern to filter only PDF files.

I tried it; but not in the same windows (it will open a new window)?

Hi bob_sun,

The addin is called when a web page sends a document with the mime type application/pdf. Really what you should be doing here is using the stand alone PDF viewer. Why do you want to open PDF documents in a web browser?

Paul,

I will use stand-alone instances.

Hi Bob,

I think that's the best solution, this is what the Viewer was designed to do.

let us know if you have any further question.
