Access embedded reader with javascript

For a project I'm looking for a way to display pdf files within a webbrowser. I have IE8+ with acrobat reader available to me, so i can display any given pdf. But i would like to be able to change pages, jump to bookmarks with javascript functions in my html page.
So in other words: does acrobat reader have somesort of api through which i can access my document using javascript?

Post the query in the forum for Acrobat SDK.

Accessing Meta-Data with JavaScript

Hi,
In U3D one can add meta-information to the file.
Could anyone access this mata-information with JavaScript in Acrobat?
I could not find any documentation in the API or references on Internet, so far...
Thank you for every hint!
Felix

Felix,<br /> Here's a hunk of code which will cycle through all the nodes, showing they're metadata. If the MD in the header is available, it will also be shown. Otherwise, no access to header info!<br /><br />//=========================================<br />console.println("scene.nodes.count = " + scene.nodes.count);<br />console.println ("----------------------------");<br />for (i=0; i<scene.nodes.count; i++)<br />{<br /> objNode = scene.nodes.getByIndex(i);<br /><br /> if (objNode == undefined)<br /> {<br /> console.println (" *** node = undefined ***\n\n");<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> console.println ("Node [" + i + "] metadataString = " + objNode.metadataString );<br /> }<br />}<br />//=========================================

Accessing Context Data with JavaScript in Adobe Form

Hi,
does anybody know, how to access a context element with javascript in an adobe form, because I have to decide which elements will be shown at the form, depending on one context value.
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards, Patrick.

Hi,
First of all your WD context is mapped to the data view in the form. You can only access via scripting what is mapped to the data view and you get the values that the PDF currently has stored. The WD context and the data values in the context might differ (eg. due to editing).
Use scripting like xfa.resolveNode("xfa.dataset.data.<path.to.the.node>") to get a reference to the data node.
Then you can use the "value" property to access the data value.

Access to HTMLB with JavaScript in DynPage class

Hi, in the documentation JavaScript API of SAP HTMLB Guidelines there is an example code in 4 parts.
1.
Form form = (Form)this.getForm();
nputField inf2 = new InputField("currencyDisplay");
inf2.setJsObjectNeeded(true);
inf2.setClientEvent(EventTrigger.ON_CHANGE, "calculateCurrencyToFrom()");
inf2.setBCD("100");
inf2.setWidth("250px");
form.addComponent(inf2);
2.
function calculateCurrencyFromTo() {
var funcName = htmlb_formid+"_getHtmlbElementId";
func = window[funcName];
var inputfield = eval(func("currencyDisplay"));
if (inputfield)
inputfield.setValue("100.23"); }
3.
InputField inf2 = new InputField("currencyDisplay");
String inputfieldID = pageContext.getParamIdForComponent(inf2);
4.
<script> var inputfield = eval(inputfieldID);</script>
I try to run this code in DynPage class. I put the code part 1 in doBeforeProcess(), then use form.addRawText() to send JavaScript code to client.
<script> var inputfield = eval(inputfieldID);
function calculateCurrencyFromTo(){
var funcName = htmlb_formid+"_getHtmlbElementId";
func = window[funcName];
var inputfield = eval(func("currencyDisplay"));
if (inputfield)
inputfield.setValue("100.23");}
</script>
question:
Where to put the part 3 in order to detect the input field is selected or triger the event? Thank you for help.

Hi Raymond,
Try out the following piece of code (the code is tested and is working):
<hbj:textEdit      id="addComments"
                    wrapping="SOFT"
                    text=""
                    rows="2"
                   cols="100" >
     <% addComments.setJsObjectNeeded(true); %>
</hbj:textEdit>
Then through javascript you can access the id of the text edit in the similar fashion.
var txtAdCom= eval(func("addComments"));
var value =txtAdCom.getValue();
var length = txtAdCom.getValue().length;
Please do reward with points if the solution is helpful.
Thanks

How to access web services with Javascript

I want to create a XUL/Javascript form which uses CRM On Demand web services. At this time I cannot login (no sample code is given for javascript), therefore I generate my JSESSIONID separately, try and put it in the URL I call in my code, but the server answers back with the logon.jsp page.
     function test()
var xmlToSend = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:con='urn:crmondemand/ws/contact/' xmlns:con1='urn:/crmondemand/xml/contact'>";
     xmlToSend += "<soapenv:Header/>";
     xmlToSend += "<soapenv:Body>";
     xmlToSend += "<con:ContactWS_ContactQueryPage_Input>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:ListOfContact>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:Contact>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:ContactId></con1:ContactId>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:AccountId></con1:AccountId>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:ContactEmail>= '[email protected]'</con1:ContactEmail>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:ContactFirstName></con1:ContactFirstName>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:ContactFullName></con1:ContactFullName>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:ContactLastName></con1:ContactLastName>";
     xmlToSend += "<con1:AccountName></con1:AccountName>";
     xmlToSend += "</con1:Contact>";
     xmlToSend += "</con1:ListOfContact>";
     xmlToSend += "</con:ContactWS_ContactQueryPage_Input";
     xmlToSend += "</soapenv:Body>";
     xmlToSend += "</soapenv:Envelope>";
var xmlhttp;
     xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
     xmlhttp.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
     xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=DisplayContact;
     xmlhttp.open("POST", "https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/", false);
     xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Man', 'POST /Services/Integration;JSESSIONID=blablabla HTTP/1.1');
     xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
     xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Length', xmlToSend.length);
     xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('SOAPAction', 'document/urn:crmondemand/ws/contact/:ContactQueryPage');
function DisplayContact()
          if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) {
               if (xmlhttp.status==200) {
                    var response = xmlhttp.responseXML;
                    var responsetxt = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(response);
                    document.write(responsetxt);
The result is: responsetxt always contains the HTML code of logon.jsp.
Anyone could help with a login code, or with the interrogation.

Accessing active directory with javascript client object model

Hello All,
my requirement is to get user profile "picture" from
active directory of my org. to my sharepoint 2013 intranet site via
java script client object model programming.
I am successful in retrieving user details (including pics) from user profile services using SP.UserProfile.js but it will show only user who are added in SharePoint groups. But, I need all company users (10,000+ user's) data like name, dept, photo etc.
If the solution is not feasible with JSOM, please provide any alternative.
Pls. assist.
Thanks, Chintan

You can import profile from AD directly to sharepoint and use it
Check below:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/harmeetw/archive/2011/09/10/importing-thumbnail-photos-from-ad-active-directory-into-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Once imported you need to run below:
Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation

Question about controlling embed quicktime object with javascript

Hello,
I am using javascript to control an embedded quicktime object on my website a la http://www.protofunc.com/2008/02/01/controlling-embedded-video-with-javascript-p art-i-quicktime/ .
The problem I am having is with the movie.Stop() command. When I hit the pause button on the generic controller, it freezes the current frame. When I call the Stop() command, the movie goes white until it is resumed. Does the pause button do anything more than call "Stop()"?
Thanks,
Nick

any luck with this? i am thinking of trying protofunc.
fyi:
i switched from SWF files to QuickTime H264, and have been trying to use the QuickTime/File/Save For Web feature on my movie promo web site.. all the movies play choppy on computers (desktops and laptops), but the technique works well on iPhones and iPads.. it is a bit unfair, IMHO, that apple can make trailers work so smooth on trailers.apple.com, but using their technology does not seem to work for "the rest of us"..
any web sites other than apple that can help?

I am using jdk1.5 for my development...
Can anyone help to resolve this security issue. Urgent...
Thanks in advance.

Hey thanks. I wasn't able to get it to work with that sample but I did find this very similar code that does allow javascript to call JFileChooser in an applets public method.
java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(
new java.security.PrivilegedAction()
public Object run(){
//do your special code here
return null; //return whatever you want
It seems a bit tempermental in that if you don't select a file quickly, it will hang the browser....no perfect solution but I'm going in the right direction.
Thanks,

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.
http://pondini.org/TM/17.html
But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

Hi DeaconTomColorado,
Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

Can you tell within the form with javascript if the file has reader rights.

Hi
I have an issue where I need to know at runtime if the current file has reader rights so that a link will directed them to one place or another.
I was hoping with javascript I could check if the form has reader rights
or
the file name will be different for the version with reader rights so the other option is with javascript can it tell me filename of itself.
Thanks
Brad

Hi,
there is indeed a method to check usage rights.
Here is a folder level script to check those rights.
You should be able to use this also in a script in your form.

Hope this helps.

DOD access card certificates not recognized when trying to access web sites with a card reader while older version of firefox did.

In the past I have been able to access web sites that require certificates pulled from a common access card inserted into a card reader attached to my Mac. Since I have updated to the newer version of Firefox, the sites that I am trying to gain entry to are not recognizing either the card, card reader or those certificates. If I use Safari or my work computer, the sites recognize my card and certificates and I am grated entry. I would use Safari but I like the format of Firefox for the specific tasks that require the access card. Just looking for a solution. Firefox does open other sites just fine. It's just the ones that require the card, reader and certificates.

Open and Close Popup With Javascript

Using Apex 3.2
I have probably done this loads of times in my old job, but do not have access to the code and today I just can't get it to work properly.
I have opened a pop up window with javascript
Now I need to close it and refresh the calling page, but only if it passes the validation on the popup.
I have a hidden item on my pop up called P7_FLAG.
I have a page process after validation that sets P7_FLAG to (only set to 1, if passes validation).
I also have a SUBMIT button.
So once I click my SUBMIT button the page should look at the validations, if ok, set P7_FLAG to 1, then close the popup and refresh the calling page.
My current javascript look like this
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
var test = $x('P7_FLAG').value;
if(test == '1')
window.close();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
</script>On my button
javascript:saveChanges();The problem is that I need to click the SUBMIT button twice.
First time it sets P7_FLAG
Second time it closes page and refreshes.
I have probably made some basic error, but today I cannot see it.
Cheers
Gus
Edited by: Gus C on May 10, 2012 12:48 AM

<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
var test = $x('P7_FLAG').value;
if(test == '1')
window.close();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
</script>javascript does not wait for the current action to complete and then perform the next line.
means in your function call
doSubmit('SUBMIT');is triggered and it carry on's to next line that is
$x('P7_FLAG').value;this will not be set because you are setting the value of P7_FLAG to 1 in plsql and trying to check in javascript, which will not work.
what you need to do is amend your js function like below
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
</script>create a page branch to procedure and make it conditional to when P7_FLAG = 1
and set the branch source to below
htp.p('window.close();');
htp.p('window.opener.doSubmit(''REFRESH'');');

Problem with JavaScript in URL iView

Hi,
I am facing a problem with javascript when i am trying to access my application through URL iView. In the javascript window.top is used to access the frames in the window. But the EP is not recognizing it as valid. what exctly the problem and please suggest me a solution.
Ashok.

Hi,,
thanks for the quick reply. But what i asked was different. I will put it in different way. I have deployed a application in Web Application Server and trying to access it through URL iView. My application is pure J2EE application with html,jsp and JS files. In javascript we used window.top property of the java script which is working fine MS IE. The problem is window.top is a IE specific property which is not having any equallent open standerd so EP is throwing a java script error. As I know the only possible solution for this problem is inherating IE rendaring capabilities to iView(i.e iFrame). is there any way to do that?
