I have a report that can be output in HTML, PDF, or XLSX. It contains a drilldown to a more detailed report.
If I use FireFox and select the PDF option, my report comes up fine, but the drilldown does nothing. If I right-click the link and open in new tab, I get the original report again. If I roll over the link, I see the URL which is identical to what's in my address bar for the original. If I run the report using HTML or XLSX everything works fine. Note that I am passing the WFFMT on to the detailed report because I want it to come up in the same format as the original.

Running in IE or Chrome seems to work fine. I upgraded to the newest FireFox, and it has the Adobe plugin enabled. Any ideas?

Is it a Firefox thing ?

I did a quick Google search and looks like links in PDF's are an issue, but seem to have a workaround.

Yep, that was it!

For others with the same problem, look at your Options/Applications setting in FireFox. The PDF content type should have its "action" item set to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in FireFox)".

I love Focal Point!
