What's the problem? Just set the link to point to the url of the pdf file in the document library. You may need to setup your web browser to open pdf files.

    mime.types.content.disposition.inline=flv,gif,jpg,pdf,png,swf,wmv

The portal.property should make the content disposition inline instead of attachment so that it will try to open the file in your browser before it forces a download. Like Hitoshi said, it might be a configuration with your browser.

Hi Shinn Lok,

I added properties in portal-ext.proeprties

mime.types.content.disposition.inline=flv,gif,jpg,pdf,png,swf,wmv

But still I am getting Popup box

this is my link of PDF file

/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=847aa31f-f639-4ca1-a6c2-8e7600bc23d6&groupId=10157

can i missing any thing....

Those are the default properties. The question is whether or not your browser is properly configured to open PDFs. You can test this by going to

http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.0/development

and clicking on the PDF PDF near the right hand side. If it does not open like how you expect your Liferay to, it confirms that it is your browser/PDF reader's settings.

Which web browser and version are you using? Can you try with IE 8?

[Pradeep Kumar Badhai，修改在11 年前。]

Liferay is not compatible with IE for PDF or Excel doc rendering or downloading. Other browser works fine.

What I have confirmed more or less is:

1. If you use get_file and the uuid in the link (https://xxx.xx/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=cf8b4745-c55c-41b8-94d0-59ac0edebf4e&groupId=10124) Liferay offers the PDF like an attachment showing up a pop up window with the options Open, Save, Save as

2. If you use a link based on the name of the file (which is the link that the control panel uses or the link that WYSIWYG editor generates) (https://xxx.xx/documents/10124/12870/20130910100138_manual+JSF) Liferay opens the PDF directly

I am using IE9 in both cases

So ¿what kind of URL to point to a file does Liferay recommends?

Thank you

I confirm what Rafael is saying, but in case 2, I found a few times where the browser still download the file (Maybe 1 each few hundred times).

I don't know why this is happening... maybe the person uploading the file used an old browser (most if not all the times was from pdfs uploaded by the same person)... maybe many uploads had been made at same time...

The only way I found to solve this is downloading the file and replace it uploading it again.
