Creating PDF interactive image fields for Adobe Reader users

I Need to create image fields to PDF flyers that Adobe Reader users can click on to import JPG/EPS image files and print out. I've seen this done on a PC using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7. My system is Mac OS 10.3.9 using the Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. Since LiveCycle is a PC program only, I find I'm limited to creating live text fields only. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

*Thank you*. That worked. How odd that the help file was out-of-date with my version of Acrobat. Thanks you again!

How to enable commenting for Adobe Reader users--missing menu option?

According to the help file, I can enable commenting in Acrobat Pro X so that Adobe Reader users can use annotation and commenting tools. The help file says:
"In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.:"
However, all is see on my menubar is:
According to the help file, I *should* see something like the following:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro X. I have installed Acrobat Pro X on a machine that has never had Acrobat Pro installed on it. Each time I see only the shortened version of menu options.
So, why do I only see File, Edit, View, Window and Help? Where are the other menu items, such as Comments, Forms, Tools, etc? Is there something I need to do to enable them?

*Thank you*. That worked. How odd that the help file was out-of-date with my version of Acrobat. Thanks you again!

Creating PDF with annotation possibility in Adobe reader

How can I create pdf's that have the possibility to create annotations (highlights and sticky notes) in Adobe Reader.
What has to be done at the creating moment of the PDF. Will Adobe Acrobat Standard be sufficient, or is an extended version necessary.
I will create about 1000 PDF's a day. Will one licence be enough?

One license of Acrobat Pro or Pro Extended would let someone "Extend Features in Adobe Reader".
This would have to been done on PDFs already created.
I would be done one PDF at a time.
The alternative is LiveCycle ES (an Adobe Server product) which would do much, if not all, the work programmatically.
However, it is expensive.
Be well...

Flatten Fields for Acrobat Reader Users

I've created a 6 page form in Acrobat Pro 9 with a bunch of fields.
I need to send this form to my client who only has Acrobat reader. They need to fill in the form then they need to flatten all fields in order to send it out - basically, the form ends up being a read-only document.
If if the acrobat reader user sends the form back to me, I can't do a save as / Adobe PDF optimized/ flatten. It says I don't have "sufficient permissions to perform this task".
Please help!

Thanks for the response. I figured that was the only solution. There are at least 80 forms that will need be done this way, so I was wondering if there was a much simplier solution.
Do you know if there is a "batch" feature I could do? I tried File / Export / Export Multiple Files, but that doesn't work.
thanks!

APIs for Adobe Reader to get the x, y co-ords,width,height of all elements (text/image) in a PDF doc

Hi all,
I have written a Acrobat plugin using PDFEdit APIs to extract x, y co-ordinates, width and height of all elements(objects) in a PDF document.
Now, I wanted to make the same working on Adobe Reader.I have added the READER_PLUGIN macro enabled in Project settings.
When I re-compiled the code, I got a bunch of errors saying all PDFEdit APIs are not available under Adobe Reader.
My objective is to parse through the entire PDF document and get x, y co-ordinates, width, height of all PDF objects (especially Image and Text objects).
Can anybody help me how to achieve this ?
Thanks
Prasanth

I know that we cannot obtain the PDEContent of a PDF page from Adobe Reader, as PDEContent is modifiable content and as such it cannot be accessible from Adobe Reader.
Also, as PDFEdit API's does not work for Adobe Reader, we are trying to figure out a way to achieve this for Adobe reader.
I am curious to know if the COS APIs can help us in this task.
I tried to read the stream content using PDPageStmGetToken API. I get the data of this format:
344.88 0 0 91.44 71.882 41.92cm
Here, as per PDF reference, I am getting only distance from X Axis and distance from Y Axis. But not width and height.
Can you knidly let us how to get the image attributes (primarly read only attributes like x and y co-ordinates, width and heoght) with Cos APIs.
Thanks

How to set a form field in pro so an 'adobe reader' user can insert a jpg (not a pdf) as an image. It used to work but now doesn't.

I think this question has been asked a million times before but I'm hoping something has been resolved now! It did work for me and my client a few months ago (by using the 'event.target.buttonImportIcon();' script. I'm 99% certain it worked fine a few months ago, where the adobe reader user could select a jpg to insert...but now it only allows a pdf. Does anyone know if anything can be done? I know you may say LiveCycle but is there really nothing else?
Thanks in advance.

There's nothing to solve. If Reader (XI only) is used only PDF files can be selected. This is how it's supposed to work (although I agree it's silly and should be changed).

I just signed up for Adobe Reader and want to create a document I can post on my facebook page. I do not see Acrobat on my microsoft word. How do I do this?

Hi terryjeanlaw,
Using Adobe Export PDF, you can export PDF files to Word document (.docx and .doc), Excel document (.xlsx), Powerpoint document (.pptx), Rich Text Format document (.rtf) and Image (.jpg, .tiff, .png). In order to convert to PDF, you need to either purchase PDF Pack (Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack) or Adobe Acrobat XI (PDF creator, create PDF | Adobe Acrobat XI).

Developing an Add-in for Adobe Reader to insert the PDF into Lotus Notes

Hi
We currently have a document management solution in MS Word & Excel, where by you can open/create a document click a button that is linked to a macro and it brings a Document Management screen up and allows you to save the file into a new Lotus Notes Document.
We are now trying to get the same functionality into Adobe Reader, whereby a user can open a PDF they have on their PC and then go to a menu item and it will perform similar function to our macro/VB that we have setup in MS Word & Excel.
Does anyone know of anyone who has developed such an idea or could point me in the right direction of where to start developing as I have never developed any add-in/plug-ins for Adobe Reader.
This needs to be done really in Visual Basic, but any help would be great
Thanks
Ian

You start by downloading the Acrobat SDK.
In the SDK is information about developing a plugin for Reader, which will require you to obtain a license from Adobe. Submit the necessary paperwork to see if you are approved. It doesn’t make much sense to start development if you don’t get approval.
Once approved, you will want a copy of Adobe Acrobat for development as it’s easier than developing with Reader.
Plugins are developed in C/C++ and there are samples in the SDK.

Enable 3D Measuring for Adobe Reader in PDF saved by Acrobat Pro Ext plugin

Hello,
I'm developing a plugin for Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended to embed a 3D object in a PDF.
I would like to enable Adobe Reader users to measure the 3D object on the saved file,
like you can do with the menu "Advanced"->"Extend Features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat Pro Ext.
Is it possible to do that with the SDK without user interaction?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I read something about that LiveCycle, but I don't understand how I should use it...
I'm developing a plugin for Adobe Acrobat and I would like to save the file with the 3D measuring enabled, without the user interaction.
Is the LiveCycle usable within an Acrobat plugin?

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
Can someone help!?!?!
Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

Thank you

Did you actually try doing what the message suggests? Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

I cannot find a DDE file on my windows 7 computer.

Uninstall Reader. Use Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs to remove all traces of Reader. Download a new copy from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

Adobe acrobat-create pdf addon not compatible for firefox 37.2

after I installed firefox 37.2, the previous adobe acrobat reader, viewer and pdf creator are suddenly unable to use. the error message is "incompatible with firefox 37.2. If so, please ask adobe whether they are able to tell me where to install the compatible addon.
I would like to know how to update such addons. Or, maybe I should downgrade my firefox version to older ones just so I can use the addon. If so, please advise how to downgrade the firefox version.
thank you.

I can't tell what version of CreatePDF you have, but version 2.0 should still be working. I think version 1.2 stopped working a while ago.
Your Adobe Acrobat plugin has a peculiar version number, according to your More System Details, of 15.7.20033. The expected value is 11.0.10.32.
Could you investigate that further by typing or pasting '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and pressing Enter. This should load a long page listing details about your plugins. If you use the Find feature (Ctrl+f) to look for '''nppdf''' can you find an entry with that version number? Is it in an odd location? The normal location for Adobe Reader would be similar to:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\Air\nppdf32.dll
What do you find?
