Post the html for the pdf link in your page (use page view source in your browser to see it) Colin
Thanks Colin , But when i choose this option pdf file opens in pdf viewer application , but it does not open in browser it opens like desktop application and when i try to open it with firefox , it gives following error ! C:\DOCUME~1\hb56\LOCALS~1\Temp\1_product-2.pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file. any suggestion?

However I think the above message means that it has downloaded and saved the file to the temp folder shown and then tried to open it, and failed. Possibly it is corrupted. I would suggest going and having a look at that file (in temp folder) and see if it is ok. Alternatively (or also) in your web page right click the link and select Save Link As (or similar), download it and see if you can open it. I presume you have checked that the pdf file in your public folder will open ok if you access it directly rather than through the web server. Is the file on your pc or on a remote server? Colin
Thanks Colin ,
When i put one file in public folder and after accessing thought URL
it opens in browser now i know what happens . I have used attachment_fu
for file uploading, and files is stored here
(/groups_file/000/0045/test.pdf) so i need to make URL pertaining to
this path that''s way i can open file in browser i think so.
Thanks and Regards,
Dharmdip

Easiest way to ask the browser to simply "display" a file instead of downloading it is to do the following in your controller''s action: send_file(path, :type => ''application/pdf'', :disposition => ''inline'') The :disposition is the important part; typically you''ll be setting this to either ''inline'' to "force" the browser to view the file inline or ''attachment'' to "force" it to download (I use quotes because nothing is really guaranteed in the browser world).

Just use this command : send_file(pdf_file_path, :type => ''application/pdf'', :disposition => ''inline'') On Thursday, June 18, 2009 9:41:17 PM UTC+5:30, Dharmdip Rathod wrote:> > Thanks , for your reply same thing is happen here but when i click on > link to open pdf file browser automatically gives download window.So , i > can not understand how to open file in browser ! > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

give :disposition => ''inline'' in your controllers On Thursday, June 18, 2009 4:17:02 AM UTC+5:30, Dharmdip Rathod wrote:> > Please help me , > > How to open .pdf extension file in browser ? > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I would suggest you send it as an attachment and let the client decide what they want to do, actually IMO you should always send it as an attachment no matter what because it should be up to the client what they want to do, that''s why the "open with" exists. Adobe can catch them even if they are attached on Windows, on Linux you won''t want to view it inline anyways (at least I never do I prefer to view it in my client rather than the browser -- or to send it straight to Google Docs for viewing later.) send_data(file, type: "application/pdf", disposition: "attachment; filename=file.pdf") -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
