I've done some tests, based on the findings that you guys did, and for example disabling the pdf plugin of the chrome and activating the Fox It Reader viewer and checked that it doesn't support the unencoded url... Based on this and on your findings it's better to assume that using this method to point something on an PDF isn't stable on most platforms, so we will abandon this way and use just the pagenumber way, this one worked on every tests I've made and it's impossible to have strange characters :)
Thank you for your efforts guys Cumprimentos / Best Regards Pedro Serralha From: Marcus Fritze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: quinta-feira, 6 de Fevereiro de 2014 19:06 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problems openning PDF file using navigateToURL I see PDFs in Chrome here on my mac. Have you disabled Chrome PDF Viewer in chrome://plugins/ ? The URL is working when the URL has the Space and NOT the %20 in the URL. Actually, when I clear my Browser cache, Chrome shows only the first page. But when I load it the second time, it jumps to page 7.

Safari & IE do display the bookmarks, but FF does not. If I try the same URL on Chrome (mac or win) it simply downloads the PDF, chrome does not display the pdf. So, if Marcus test does work, then navigateTuURL seems to do a better job than the browser. hth julio On Feb 6, 2014, at 4:29 PM, Marcus Fritze <[email protected]> wrote: This example works without any problems for me and it shows me the PDF on page 7 (Altera... no Portal): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600"> <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"/> </s:layout> <fx:Declarations> <!-- Platzieren Sie nichtvisuelle Elemente (z.

They tell how to encode parameters on URL and the escape() is to convert a string to a URL-encoded format, which is what I don't want.

I don't know why the reader doesn't decode correctly the encoded characters, but only if I could pass the pure string without any encoding/ treatment, the thing would work. Btw still using 4.6sdk on these project.

We are using the navigateToURL method. The problem is that we are using bookmarks within the pdf and to open an link and point to an bookmark the URL used is something like http://portal.beelogicsoftware.com/BeelogicIMS/manuals/pt_PT/BeelogicIM SCh an geLog.pdf#pagemode=bookmarks&nameddest=Alterações no Portal As you see, it accepts non standard characters on the URL as spaces and ç and õ. The link works with this characters if you put it directly on the browser, but when I open it using the method above mentioned it corrects the invalid characters.... and the bookmark pointer stops working. http://portal.beelogicsoftware.com/BeelogicIMS/manuals/pt_PT/BeelogicIM SCh an geLog.pdf#pagemode=bookmarks&nameddest=Altera%E7%F5es no Portal So what I ask is, is there a way to open a link without these correction?
