Automatically opening Acrobat reader when PDF form is downloaded

Hello.
Hope we are all well.
I am wondering if there was a way to have the PDF form open up automatically in Acrobat Reader when the customer downloads it. Unfortunately I am dealing with people who aren't that internet savvy and usually impatient about it (they are tradies, mainly plasterers), so when they download the PDF form and try to open it, the web browser will try to open the PDF in another page making the "submit" button to stop working. Is there any tricks to bypass the browser from doing this so I can have it opened directly by acrobat reader if it is already installed on their pc? Cheers.

That's a shame. I have put a description on the page explaining (with a link) they will have to open in Acrobat for the submit button to work. I was hoping there might be a script to stop the browser trying to open the PDF form instead of Acrobat. Thanks for your reply .

Secure websites automatically opens Acrobat Prof 6

I am having a very unusual, yet very annoying problem with Acrobat Professional 6. After I updated Adobe Reader to version 8, Acrobat automatically launches every time I try to logon to two of my banking websites. When I type in my username and password on the banking site, Acrobat attempts to launch, but it gives me an error message which says: "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit and try again". When I click OK it gives me another error message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit and try again." Everytime I click OK, it keeps repeating the error about 5 or 6 times in a row, until finally I get into my bank account. The thing is, I am not trying to view any PDF files, I just want to logon to my bank's website. This is extremely frustrating. I have tried uninstalling Acrobat Prof and Adobe Reader, but that does not help. I am running Vista and I know Acrobat 6 was not entirely compatible with Vista, but I have loaded the recent patch and it has worked fine on Vista for some time. Anyone have any idea what is causing this and have any solutions? Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

John, I read through the forum you referred me to and was surprised at how prevalent this issue was.
The good news is that I discovered a fix that worked for me:

"OTH The table shows that the Reader 9 would be allowed in combination
with any version of Acrobat > 6."
I was previously running Reader 8 with Acrobat Prof 6 which was causing a conflict. I downloaded and installed Reader 9 and voila! No more opening Acrobat 6 when I try to login in to secure websites.
Angela, not sure if this will solve your issue, but it is certainly worth a try.
Thanks again for your help John.

How to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer

Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer. My goal is to find a way to allow users of our web application to print PDFs to the default printer without having to go through the plugin's GUI. Our application includes a browser helper component, and I had hoped it would be possible to use the IWebBrowser2 interface's get_Document() method to get at some sort of interface to the plugin (as is possible for, say, a Word document hosted in Internet Explorer) and then use this to print the document. However, this does not work: get_Document(), when called on an IWebBrowser2 instance with a PDF loaded, returns E_NOINTERFACE. I also tried calling the IWebBrowser2 interface's ExecWB() method with OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, and PRINT_DONTBOTHERUSER, and printed a blank page rather than the PDF.
Is it possible to do what I am attempting? Like I said, my core goal is to print a PDF from within Internet Explorer without requiring user interaction. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this -- it doesn't _have_ to be by automating the plugin (maybe that is a the wrong approach... though it sure would be nice if the plugin provided access to its object model via IWebBrowser2->get_Document()).
Thanks in Advance,

IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
"<"body>
"<"OBJECT id="pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width=800
height=600 >
"<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
"<"/OBJECT>
"<"script language="JavaScript">
function waitLoad()
setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
function printFile()
var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
"<"/script>
"<"/body>
So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
Thank again.

Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still use Flash Player...
Is there anyo who can help me with this? I asked in the shop and I was told "yes of course" , but when I contacted Sony directly I was advised to check with Adobe as apparently in the recent months Adobe and Sony haven't been getting along anymore...

You may be mixing up two entirely different Adobe products.
1. Adobe Flash Player. Needed to view web pages designed with Flash. Not needed to view PDF files. Not available for Android (not just Sony).
2. Adobe Reader. Reads PDF files. However, the Android can also read most PDF files without needing Adobe Reader.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the issue; we would like to reproduce it at our end. Please give in the below information to investigate on this,
1. The Linux distribution (Version of Linux) you are using.
2. Are you opening the pdf from shared location? If yes, then how is the shared location mounted.
It would help if you can send in the pdf you are trying to open. Please email the same to vaibhavp at adobe dot com or attach it on the forum.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

Can't Open Acrobat Reader

Can't open Acrobat Reader. Got a Windows error due to system problem, Windows automatically closes it.

It says...
Adobe Reader has stopped operation
"Because something has happened, causing the application not to operate normally, Windows will shut down the application, should there be any resolution to it will let you know."
Even if I uninstall the Adobe Reader and re-install it again, the same error message happens.

How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB.

How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB? The devices do not pop up in itunes under a sync category, so I can't turn them off one by one, nor would I want to.
I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately and I didn't think it would as I only downloaded Firefox for the first time a few days ago even though I have had this problem for over six months using IE.
Anything else that you think is worth a shot?

Converting an Acrobat 8 (Static) PDF form to an Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Form

We have a PDF file that started in MS Word 2007. The form was then saved as an Acrobat 8 (Static) PDF form. Is there a way to save this form to a dynamic XML form so all users can utilize the text boxes and drop down menus? At this time, only Acrobat Pro users have the ability.
Thanks,
Tim

If the form has dynamic fields added to it then even users using the free Adobe Reader will be able to fill in the form. However, if it is save-off-line that you are looking for then you will need to extend the form using Reader Extensions.
Can you be more specific about your requirements?

Adobe Acrobat Reader Crafted PDF Document Remote Code Execution

Hi all,
I was wondering if Adobe can clarify when "CVE-2012-4363 Adobe Acrobat Reader Crafted PDF Document Remote Code Execution" will be fixed?
It's been a pretty long time since this issue was reported.
With kind regards,

i was also given the Knowledge Base number 405461 from adobe, and they said that this would definitely fix the problem...AND IT DIDN'T :-(
see kb405461
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...nalId=kb405461
and just to let everyone know, i have already completely uninstalled adobe reader and reinstalled it several times thinking that fresh install would cure the problem, and it hasn't made a bit of difference. the version of reader doesn't matter either, as i've tried versions 7, 8 and 9... all with the same exact issue...which makes me think that it might be an issue with MS IE6.

Things to try:
Try resetting your phone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. When you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot.
Try a new sync cable (often the problem)
Make sure you phone is adequately charged
