Generate PDF Portfolio and Open in Browser - Aspose.PDF

Hi,


We need the capability to show the generated pdf portfolio files in the browser. But all we see is a blank page. When we download the pdf portfolio file to the system and open it in the Adobe reader, we are able to see the file content.

Can you please help us to resolve this?

Thank you!

Siva

Hi Siva,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please make Acrobat Reader as default viewer to view pdf files in your browser. Hopefully it will help you to resolve the issue.

please follow these steps to set Acorbat Reader as default viewer in Chrome and Firefox:

  • Chrome
    • Run chrome://plugins/ in browser’s prompt
    • Disable Chrome PDF Viewer option
    • Enable Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape XX.X.XX.XX (the version may differ) option
    • Restart the browser
  • Firefox
    • At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
    • Select the Applications panel
    • Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it
    • Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select Use Acrobat Reader (in Firefox)
    • Restart the browser

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Hi,


Since we have this link in our website, this is available to public. So we cannot all the users to update the chrom/firefox configuration.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you!

Hi Siva,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please note we follow the Adobe Acrobat as standard, because Adobe is in the center of all which are connected with PDF. As all PDF readers/tools, available in market, have their own “representation”. So it is recommended to use Adobe Acrobat Reader as default reader for consistency as suggested above.

However, you may consider GroupDocs viewer, a product of our sister concern(GrouptDocs). Hopefully It will help you to accomplish the task.

Best Regards,
