some people don't.Īs for myself, when i am installing the foxit PDF reader program, i don't install any extras.i only install the foxit PDF reader-files.no plugins (for opening PDF files in IE).no shell extensions. Some people like having PDF files open in their browsers. in firefox's settings for "applications", if you have FF set to open PDF files, that explains why firefox is opening PDF files. The firefox browser is able to open PDF files. if you used the option for installing the IE plugin, so that PDF files would open in IE, that probably explains why PDF files are opening in IE. the problem could be due to the way that you installed the foxit PDF reader program. _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.You should give more information, like explaining which other programs are opening PDF files. Var idArray = document.getElementsB圜lassName("ms-listlink") Var elementArray = document.getElementsB圜lassName("ms-vb-lastCell") Please Note: this is for a public facing website so we cannot expect all of our external customers to change settings on their browsers. I am not a developer so hoping the solution is not too technical. I have tried setting up a new document library and changing the setting for 'Opening Document in the Browser' to 'Open in the client application'. The web collection has the 'Browser File Handling' set to 'Permissive' which enables all other PDFs to open in the browser. Therefore, I want to be able to force this one PDF to be downloaded and saved.Īll of our other PDFs on our external facing website need to open in the browser (not saved). Their pdf viewer will not display a dynamic XMLīased PDF. Unfortunately, Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera opens the file in their 'built-in' pdf viewer.
We have one PDF on our external facing website that is a Dynamic XML PDF, which contains validation.
