I have a HTML file that renders correctly in Chrome 66 when the file extension is ".html", so I know that the code if fine.
However, the process that generates the code defaults to an extension of ".DAT" and there isn't a way to change it. Also, I tried associating ".DAT" with Chrome, but the page still shows code instead of rendering.
When I was using an older version of Chrome (50 something) it was rendering the pages properly. How can I get ".DAT" files to render correctly in my newer version?
I have the same behaviour today with one of our users.
Some DAT files with html coding are displayed as loose html code instead of being rendered.
If I open it in IE it works fine.

I must have done something to Google Chrome on my Windows.
Local HTML files, even though they are associated with Chrome, do not actually open in Chrome anymore when I double click them. For example, double clicking an HTML file on my desktop will launch Chrome, but the browser window will not display the content of the HTML file.
If I change the program my computer will use to display HTML files to Safari or Firefox, they open as I expect them to, rendering the HTML properly in a browser window.
If, I have a Chrome window open and drag the HTML file into the browser window, it will render the HTML content properly, but the double clicking is the behavior I'm hoping to get back.
Does anyone know why this might have caused this change in Chrome behavior? And best of all, how to fix it?
I built a PDF in Illustrator, and am linking to it from a web page. It looks fine in SumatraPDF and in the Windows preview pane, but the browser renders this (just so you know, this is not how I want it to look)
Is this because I have font embedded? The only thing that I want to have happen with this is for a couple links on it to be clickable; otherwise, I'd convert it all to outlines. Is there something I need to do here that I haven't done?
EDIT: Here's a weird update about this. The browser follows the link embedded in the pdf when I click it. So it has the right data, but the wrong presentation apparently.
I'm assuming you are/were using either the Dev or Canary channel of Chrome. There was an experiment running in both channels that was causing this, which has since been reverted in Canary but is still affecting Dev 59.0.3053.X. For the more technical; this experiment enabled the PDFium code to use Skia to render paths instead of Anti-Grain Geometry and caused this font gibberish.
Here is the link to the bug report:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=705039
UPDATE: This was fixed in the Dev Channel with update 59.0.3071.X
I have the following code in a html document:
<p>PDF sample</p>
<object data="http://www.whateverdomain.com/whatever/~/media/sample.pdf" type="application/pdf"></object>
This is working in IE, Firefox but not in Chrome. Appears a grey box in the browser with no embedded pdf. When I check on "network" tab in chrome I'm receiving a HTTP 200 response but PDF is not shown.
I tried URL encode tilde "~" symbol replacing it by %7e but still its not working on Chrome.
I don't have the possibility of changing the url which is provided by an external service.
Do you have any clue on how to solve ?
You might wish to try and use a simple iframe. At the very least I am pretty sure that works for chrome, might not work for IE though. Another alternative is using the Google Docs viewer, with that you are sure to be cross browser compatible, although some pdf's might not render perfectly. The last option you have is using something like pdf.js to render the pdf's yourself inside the browser. Gives you a lot of control and ensures that even people running computers without a pdf viewer installed (or a native pdf viewer like chrome and firefox) will be able to view the file.
I have a HTML fragment file which was created by extracting the Windows CF_HTML clipboard data after having copied a web page (http://www.w3schools.com/) in MSIE to the clipboard. The HTML fragment source is located here:
http://pastebin.com/suJDw9tW
Now when I open this file in Chrome, it displays the web page perfectly with all images.
However, when I try to open it in MSIE, it first seems to crash MSIE or make it hang for about 5-10 seconds, then the page is displayed very badly and WITHOUT IMAGES although there is a BASE tag inside the HTML.
How do I need to change this HTML to make it display correctly in MSIE WITH IMAGES?
Document type declaration should be on the first line without any preceeding characters.
This probably provides more backwards compatibility with older versions of IE. Those are just quite widely used even today, unlike older versions of the other browsers.
When I try to load a PDF Data URI into an iframe (eg, src="data:application/pdf;base64,...") in FireFox (18.0.2 [current release], OSX) it instead opens a download window.
For an example, check out the website JSPDF.com
The same site works fine in Aurora (20.0a2)
Is this a known issue with Firefox? Is it not conforming to the spec...?
Aurora has a built-in PDF renderer that can render PDFs inline.
Current release as of yesterday does not have that; it first appears in Firefox 19, which is about to be released.
A browser without a PDF plug-in or built-in PDF renderer will simply offer to download or open in a helper app a PDF that's loaded in a window as you're doing, which is exactly what you see.
As far as the spec goes, both behaviors are compliant. Nothing says a browser needs to support inline rendering of PDF.
You need to modify the options :

I had a very similar problem with Firefox, iframes and data URIs. I resolved it by checking that there was no spaces in the data type definition. Mine was text/html, so instead of writing this:
src="data: text/html, ..."
it had to go like this:
src="data:text/html,..."
I conclude that firefox didn't understand the content type with spaces, thus considering it was a downloadable file.
This might be caused when there is no adobe reader installed. I'm not sure though. As I can't test it here as I don't have a Mac with Firefox running.
