PDF file download alert message [message #192525]

Hi, my clients are using Acrobat Reader 5.0 and each time they run a
report in birt viewer to generate a PDF file will get an alert message
stating that "Some file can harm your computer. ......File
Name:BIRTReport11555 File Type: Adobe Acrobat Control for ActiveX
......Would you like to open the file or save it to your computer?"
followed with four buttons for "Save, Open, Cancel, More Info".

I have Acrobat Reader 7.0 in my PC and never get such an alert.

How can I get rid of the message for my clients and open the PDF file in
any version of Acrobat Reader straight way?

Many thanks.

hi, to clarify my previous post, the alert message doesn't seem to
associate with the particular version of Acrobat Reader, rather it's
caused by the itext or Birt Viewer because the generated PDF file lacks
the ability to open up Acrobat Reader. How can I enforce the generated PDF
file to fire Acrobat Reader automatically without prompting user? Normal
PDF files produced by Oracle report builder and Acrabat Distiller can both
do that.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I've the same problem.
posted here many times. but no reply.
If u find any solutions, please post it to the forum.
or if u find the class where its getting saved , let me know .
we'll debug that.

My understanding is... if we can save the file with extension. pdf, we don't
face this problem.
but how to do that is a BIG ?

Hi,Lavanya,

I find that in the Birt 2.1 realease build, inside [BIRT_Project] /
source /
org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer/birt/WEB-INF/classes/org/ecli pse/birt/report/presentation
/aggregation/layout/EnginFragment.java (revision1.14), in the line
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename= "+filename+"\"");
has one missing quote(should be "inline;filename=\""+filename+"\""), which
is fixed in later revisions. I'm not sure if this missing quote caused the
IE's failure to reconigise pdf content type or the whole header
"Content-Disposition" caused it. In Birt 2.0 which has not this header,
there is no PDF Download alert message.

I'm a newbie in Java and don't know how to compile just
org.eclipse.birt.report.presentation.aggregation.layout.Engi nFrament.java
and org.eclipse.birt.report.utility.ParameterAccessor.java and then plug
in back to birt-viewer/WEB-INF/lib/viewerservlets.jar. Can you test it and
let me know how to do it? thanks a lot.

Hi Liyan,
I've removed my acrobat reader and installed it again .
veriosn is 5.1.
now, i'm not getting the alert message.
I've tried both versions of BIRT. 2.1.0 and 2.1.1.
both are working fine.
The only change i could see is the filename of the report.
In 2.1.0 it is some text.
In 2.1.1 it is the reportname.pdf
But findging problem when i have large data

thanks
