acrobat reader

[andrew]

Can anybody help explain how to have a hyperlink execute
a pdf file that has been imported into my website. Office
suggest introducing an inline frame. All that you get
when you preview this in a browser is an empty box that
does not respond to the mouse.
a specific page discusses a situation which is explained
in a pdf document. I want button which when clicked will
open the pdf document.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

Depending of if the user has Acrobat reader installed the document may
open in the browser (depending on local settings) or download. If it is
not, they will always get a download prompt.
In your case, I assume you have it installed so likely you waited too
short a time for the document to download and display.

Just import the pdf into any folder and link to it.

 

[andrew]

Before even publishing to the web I test in a browser. I click on my
hyperlink and it opens a blank explorer window. I have acrobat reader and the
document will open if i click on it in Frontpage in the file and folder list.
The pdf works but not from explorer. I would expect acrobat reader to start
in a new window and open the document. It is as if I am being dorected to
another web page which is empty. Any ideas?

Reinstall Acrobat Reader. That will fix the issue with it not being set
to handle *.pdf files in Explorer.

What is the local setting you are talking about here. The problem I am
having is that it always asks the user to Save/Cancel, it doesn't open in the
browser.

Thanks.

The settings have to do with what the user has set in their browsers.
Normally you would get a prompt to open and they would select that.

Have you tried download another copy of Acrobat and installing, after uninstall the current version,
normally Acrobat will install with the setting necessary for documents to be viewed in the browser.
There is no setting that you can set via HTML, etc. to change those settings for your site visitors.

In Acrobat Reader, v6.0.1, you can check the settings under Edit | Preferences | Internet

Then you need to re-install it. If after re-installing it and you are still prompted, you will need
to contact Adobe for help, as this is not a FP related issue.
