Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

I have already tried that. Still, I have found a workaround for now - I have installed the IE Tab Plus add-on, and if I right click a link and open with the IE rendering engine it works OK.

Re: How do I white something out?

Just be careful, as the original content is still there underneath. If the recipient is just using a plain viewer it will be OK. If they have full PDF editing software then they would be able to find and delete the blank text box see what is underneath (if they could be bothered to look for it). It ...

Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

Yes, I have updated to FF14 and the problem is still there. Am I really the only person it doesn't work for?

Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

I have IE9, so tried that and it works fine, for both internal wiki links and www links. I much prefer using Firefox, though, so would rather that was fixed!

Nope, tried that, same behaviour.

Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

So, by archive you mean a ZIP or similar. OK, I get it.

Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

Sorry for delayed reply. Screenshot attached. How do I check what the MIME type is?

Edit: I have tried attaching it as a PNG and a JPG, but it says those extensions are not allowed. What image format should I be using?

Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

I have tried that today, and the behaviour is the same. If it makes a difference, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but didn't delete the profile.

Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

1st KB article: All the Adobe Acrobat file types are currently set to " Use PDF-XChange Viewer". This points to C:Program Files/.../PDFXCView.exe which might explain why website links are downloading instead of using the plug-in. The article seems to be telling me to set it to "Use Ad...

Re: support for scripts in forms

OK, sample attached. A number is entered in the top left field. This number is repeated in the single field at the top, and gets one added on each one. So, for example, you enter "1". The field next to it becomes 2, the next 3 and so on. The final number is repeated in the single box at th...

support for scripts in forms

Any plans to do this? For example, I have PDF forms with a series of fields, where the first is a user-entered number and the remaining fields have a simple FormCalc 'previous field name +1' sort of thing so that the remaining fields end up with a series of whole numbers starting from the first. It ...

Re: Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

Interesting - the problem seems to be only with PDFs linked on a company intranet, so I can't give you a link. If I right click the link and "Save link as..." to download a copy it works fine. If I click on a linked PDF on a website it doesn't attempt to load in the plug-in, but just downl...

Firefox plug-in views PDF as ASCII text

Using Win7 Pro 64 bit, with Firefox 13, I recently upgraded to PDF_X viewer version 2.5. Clicking on a link to a PDF from a web page, the document loads but displays in plain text i.e, not the document text but as if you open a PDF in a text editor. The plug-in is enabled, I have also disabled the A...
