How to hide drop-downs when clicking Tableau buttons using Tableau Reader

how do I hide the little drop-down menus on a Tableau worksheet used as a button....
See picture...
Everything is working perfectly in Tableau Desktop, but in Reader I get these drop-downs that I don't want the user to see or have to be bothered by?
The buttons don't show this if i a browsing through them in Desktop--only in Tableau Reader.
Are you able to see the picture? Let me know, if not.
Thanks.
Those controls should go away when the dashboard is put into presentation mode by clicking this icon.

Showing data refresh date in Tableau Desktop

I want to show the date of the data source refresh but I did not find any Tableau function that can help me.
Do you know?
Thanks.
Yes, it can be done. Here are the steps (found here):
Option 1: Add the time stamp to the top of the view
Open the workbook that contains the dashboard in Tableau Desktop, and then navigate to the sheet for which you want to display the time of the last data refresh.
Select Worksheet > Show Title.
Double-click the title.
In the Edit Title dialog box, select Insert > Data Update Time, and then click OK.
Add any field to the filter shelf and leave all selections blank and click OK.
Save the modifications.
Add sheet to dashboard.
Option 2: Add the time stamp to the bottom of the view
Open the workbook that contains the dashboard in Tableau Desktop, and then navigate to the sheet for which you want to display the time of the last data refresh.
Select Worksheet > Show Caption.
Double-click the caption.
In the Edit Caption dialog box, select Insert > Data Update Time, and then click OK.
Add any field to the filter shelf and leave all selections blank and click OK.
Save the modifications.
Add sheet to dashboard.
8 . Right click the sheet and select Caption to show the update time.
These sheets can be sized in the dashboard to take up as much or as little space as necessary. They can also be set up as floating objects so that they do not resize the other sheets in the view.
The easiest way is to:
double click on Title (on the Sheet)
click the Insert button
click Data Update Time

Hide title in tableau view

I want to hide the title("CT School Districts by Income and Grade Level Equivalents, 2009-13") of view when I display it on iframe. Should I change the src?
<iframe src="https://public.tableau.com/views/CTSchoolDistrictsbyIncomeandGradeLevels2009-13/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=yes&:toolbar=n&:showVizHome=no"
width="645" height="955"></iframe>
In the Tableau menu, go to Worksheet and deselect "Show Title". Then re-save and re-publish to the server to get rid of the title.
There is no way to remove title from the shared link.
Just edit and republish dashboard.

jquery modal window and opening a pdf file in new window

I need to show listing of names of PDF files which are to be printed. I need to show this list in a JQuery Modal window. If anybody can please suggest as to how to redirect the view to a jquery modal window? I plan to use JQuery UI for the purpose.
My other requirement is to display the select PDF file in a new window.
You could have a controller action that will return a partial view containing the list of PDF files. Then configure jQuery Dialog to use AJAX in order to fetch this list from the server and show it in a div. Finally inside this list you could add target="_blank" to anchor elements pointing to the actual PDF file so that it is opened in a new window when the user clicks on this anchor.
Check out fancybox plugin for jquery . You pass it a web link and set it to iframe.
secondly, if you want to open up a pdf in a new window set the anchor link target="_blank" i.e. title
hope that helps
