As i am working in SharePoint support(administration), i faced so many issues on day-2-day basis. yesterday i had faced one issue which belongs to opening of pdf files.
User Requirement/Issue Description: I have a document library with a PDF file. Whenever I click on the PDF file, I am prompted to save the file. I do not get the option of opening the file, I am forced to save it. What I want is for the PDF file to open, either in the browser or in a separate Adobe Reader window, depending on the Adobe Reader settings.
Please refer the following steps to resolve this issue:
1. Open the central administration
2. Click Manage Web Applications
3. Click on the web app you want to change, and go to ‘General Settings’
4. Scroll down and reach the section called as ‘Browser File Handling’
5. Change the radio box from Strict to Permissive.
6. Click OK.
7. Settings has been successfully configured :-)
Go to the sharepoint document library and try to open the PDF documents & check the results !!
If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know, Thanks..
