Viewing PDF files in web browser windows? - General Questions and Answers

At my work I use a web browser based online medical billing system to enter various types of client/patient data. Some of this data must be entered into PDF files that when opened on a Windows OS computer, open up a PDF in a web browser window. I then enter the data into the PDF and can save, as well as edit it in that window. Does anyone know if there is a way to enable such a feature using an Android web browser? So far I have tried just about all Android web browsers and have not been able to do this. Every time I attempt to do this using one of the Android web browsers the PDF file usually just is downloaded, yet it is a blank PDF with none of the previously entered data. I would love to be able to use my new Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition for work, rather than my relatively large work laptop. Any help with this question would be most appreciated.

MDA Compact IV not view HTML files.

Hi,
My MDA Compact IV has stopped reading HTML files.
I think it was when I removed Opera from it and that is when it stopped.
I can still look up the internet and the pages display, however, if there is a HTML page saved on the phone it won't recongise it as a web page. It is a bit of a pain because I use RunGPS which allows you to show training files as HTML pages. However, when it tries to load the file it gives this error.
"The file Training Report cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."
Even if I save this file to the phone, it does not display it as a readable file in explorer.
I am assuming that the phone has somehow lost its ability to recognise these files as HTML.
I also use Skyfire browser but the problem started before I installed this.
Any ideas?
Regards

Unable to download PDF onto phone from Google Docs

Not sure where to post this so here goes.....
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 and usually use Opera Mini.
In the past, I had been able to go to the mobile version of Google docs through Opera, log in, click on a PDF file, save to My Documents and then open the file through My Documents which allowed me to then zoom in/out as needed to read the document.
As of a day or two ago, whenever I click on a PDF, it simply opens except the pages are so small it's impossible to read the text. The zoom bar doesn't do anything. Double clicking doesn't do anything. Hold clicking on the file doesn't give any option to save/download the file.
I've logged in through my laptop and although PDF's do open directly in Google Docs when you click on them, if you right click it does give you an option to download. I can't seem to find this option anywhere on my phone, although it used to be the default option up until 2 days ago.

[Q] PDFs

On my browser I go to websites to look up scholarly articles in the forms of PDFs. Some times I'm able to tap and download them so that I can view it in various pdf viewers and other times I get directed to a *****in blank page.
I am not asking to view the pdf in the browser. Google isn't helping me neither is the search function. I just want to have the option/ability to download a pdf so that I can either view it then or save it to my dropbox.
browser pdf
Its usually a setting in your browser.
whether or not to download or open file types
Check options in browser.
I've navigated through the settings and have not found anything to pop out at me as a solution.

Which browser do you use?

myBookmarks import not working, nor myBackup Pro, is AT&T trying to run my life?

I'm trying to get my bookmarks restored from myBookmarks Pro. Normally (on any other Android phone I've ever had), you upload the Firefox Bookmarks HTML Export file to www.rerware.com and then on your device it downloads them to my device, adds them to Web Browser and all is fine.
Now with the Infuse it's adding them, but I can't see them. In other words, when I go into my bookmarks in the browser, it only shows the 4 ATT bookmarks they force on me (which I don't seem to be able to delete - grrrr), but not the ones I just imported. But if I begin to type the bookmark name or press search and type the site I want to go to, it's go the bookmarks based on search result, but I want them in the bookmarks list.
Seems like AT&T is somehow controlling my bookmarks... Ideas?

[Q] Saving web page as HTML?

Dolphin HD can save a web page as an HTML file, but it asks for the filename and supplies a poor default such as "index.html". I wish the default file name could be the title of the web page.
Are there any other browsers that can save a web page as HTML? I do not find this ability in the standard browser, FireFox, Skyfire, or Opera Mobile (unless I overlooked something). Opera Mobile does provide a save, but its in a proprietary format, not what I am looking for.

I think dolphin saves it with the actual filename of the page on the server and as index.html is generally what the web admins have it set to (it makes their life much easier)
By Title of Web Page, I am refering to the title shown to the user and found in the [TITLE] tag. That is how Safari saves a page on a mac.

Yes i thought that was what you meant but that's not what browsers do, they only read the actual file name
When a browser pulls a resource from a server to save it locally uses the name of the file in the server (index.html, contact.php, about.aspx or whatever) because that's how it is identified.
Index.html, index.php, default.aspx etc are the first pages a server serves when a browser sends a request.
The page title you see in the browser's tab is coded in the html markup and is mostly used to identify the page if you have several tabs open but is not the name of the file.

I understand all of that, but Safari on the Mac desktop actually DOES look at the TITLE tag to find a default file name when I save.
I checked the browsers and no, I didn't see a save option either. I suppose because being mobile builds they have to be lighter than the desktop counterparts. On desktop the standard behavior is the filename but some times a browser uses other convention.
