Some workmates have to use an online application which is Java powered, so they use Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Within the Java program, some menu entries open PDF documents. On all but one computer the PDF documents open with Adobe Reader and everything is ok.
On ONE computer (Windows 8.1) the PDF open with Microsoft Word only from the Java program.
But the file association is ok: if we double-clic on a random PDF, it opens correctly with Adobe Reader. If we run rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler test.pdf
it opens correctly with Adobe Reader. If I check files associations in the control panel, the PDF familly seem ok. If Internet Explorer is directed to a PDF page, it is correctly displayed inside Internet Explorer (this is not what we want ultimatly, but this is a good start).
The browser run jp2launcher.exe
which display the online application's UI is a separate Window. jp2launcher.exe
in turn run Adobe Reader when needed (or Microsoft Word erroneously).
--> does someone know the source of this problem ? And/or a way to solve it?
edit for JRI: when a website send a PDF, it is displayed inside Internet Explorer
edit for Bertrand SCHITS: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\WINWORD.EXE" https://example.com/reports/rwservlet/getjobidxxxxx?server=rep_wls_reports_xxxxxxxxx
and similar command line when running Adobe reader
