Permissive Browser File Handling Needed

Permissive Browser File Handling Needed

Q:  Can I view PDF files and HTM files in the browser?  Can I integrate CRM 2011 with Sharepoint Online?

A: No and No.

Permissive Browser File Handling Needed

Sharepoint Online in O365 beta does not have the option to set Browser File Handling = Permissive.

Sharepoint Online in O365 beta does not have the option to allow additional file extensions.

 

The following scenerios don't work as a result of these:

 

Document libraries:

1)  Can't open PDF files in browser.  Must download, save then open with pdf reader locally.

2)  Can't display HTM, HTML files in browser.

3) might affect flash objects

CRM:

1)  Can't integrate MS CRM 2011 Online with Sharepoint Online.  This requires permissive and .htc file extension be added to allowed extensions.

You can open a Support Request from the Admin page or call phone support.

 

You can get the suppport number by following instructions here:

Then state the problem:  I need to view PDF files and HTM files in the browser.

or

I need to enable sharepoint online integration with CRM.

 

These require 2 server side changes which are not available presently in SP Online Admin Center:

1) Browser File Handling set to  Permissive.

2) .htc file extension added to allowed extensions.

 

Here is a link to a couple pages of threads that involve this issue (there are more than these):

  • I’m astounded these features are not enabled currently.  This HAS to be resolved by GA.  I have several customers that WILL NOT move forward with the way PDF's are currently handled.  Please enable permissive and allow .htc ext.

  • I also need this functionality "Permissive Browser File Handling" how or when it can be enabled?

  • PDF Solution to open in browser:

    community.office365.com/.../35658.aspx

  • I installed the template, but when trying to create a new site using the template I get the following error:

    "The Site template requires that the Feature {068bc832-4951-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66} be activated in the site collection."

    Any ideas on that?

  • Just throwing in my 2 cents. Not having the ability to set permissive file handling is making my life more difficult.
