How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
APB

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

I have a new MacBook Pro and need to know what I need to do to open Microsoft Office files?

Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

How to browse, view, open Microsoft Office files in Contribute CS4

To browse or view Microsoft Office files (not Office 2007)in Contribute CS4: (I won't say how long it took me to figure this out!)
Make sure Contribute is closed.
Open C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Contribute CS4\Configuration\ViewableExtTypes.txt
Add doc,xls,ppt to the list, save & close ViewableExtTypes.txt and restart Contribute/
It doesn't work for Office 2007 file extensions.
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.

Opening microsoft office documents from link in flash site

I have created a flash site, (its an internal site so nobody
outside the network will be able to access it) and I have numerous
documents linked in it. The documents all reside on the same server
as the flash website. When I click on the link to open a microsoft
office file (I have .doc, .xls, and .ppt on there) IE gives this
error:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you
requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable. I have
tried adding the domain to trusted sites under tools->options,
but that doesn't seem to work. After I get the Action canceled
error, if i hit enter or click the Go button next to the address
line, it will then go on and open the file. There is some kind of
communication error I can't figure out. The odd thing is that .pdf
files are not affected. They opened just fine from the get-go. Only
Office files. Is there a line of actionscript that needs to be in
there? Or a setting in IE that I am not thinking of? PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks

ie has added security for activex controls... so you will

appStatus = ">> get File By Path";
message = "";
viewEnabled = false;
var request:GetObjectByPathRequest = new GetObjectByPathRequest(session);

                                        viewEnabled = false;
                                        var oFile:Fileable = getFileByPath("/Collaboration/test.indd");
                                        //var oDoc2:Document = new Document(oFile);
                                        var oDoc:Document = checkOutFile(doc);

                                        return null;
                              var remoptePath:String =file.nativePath.substr(LOCAL_FILE_CACHE.nativePath.length);
                              trace("resolveRemotePath [11] : "+ remoptePath);
                              if(File.separator!="/") {
                                        //var pattern:RegExp = /(\/)/g;
                                        var pattern:RegExp = /(\\)/g;
                                        remoptePath = remoptePath.replace(pattern ,"/");

How to open a local file from javascript in a jsp-page

Hi
I have created an iview from a PAR file. In the par file I have a jsp-page with some javascript code. From the javascript coe I want to open a new window with an Excel file.
I have tried window.open("c:
test.xls", "test_window"), but it doesn't seem to work. I have created a small HTML page locally with the same command and there a new window opens with the Excel file.
If I change the local file path with an URL it also works.
Any idea how to open a local file ?
Thanks
/Jakob

Jacob,
I'm not 100% (but 99,9%) and it has to do with security ristrictions of the browser not allowing to have local workstation interation from the web. This is ofcourse very dangerous if the browser would allow it... So therfore it is blocked. What if somone would point to a file/executable that formats your drive so for that reason it is not allowed to have web interaction with a local file. Only with Java Applets this is possible but still with many limitations, and what I remember Google Gears and Adobe Air do have some limited web 2 local file interaction... So best and most simple solution you are left with is pointing to a url instead of a file on a c:\ drive.
PS The reason why it works when you start the html from your local PC has todo with the fact that the browser detects that the html is not running in the web at that moment therefor allowing the access.
Cheers,
Benjamin Houttuin

I accidentally removed some ms office files from macbook through app cleaner . now they are in trash . how to restore them as some applications are not opening

i just downloaded appscleaner from net and accidentally removed some of the ms office files like database utility , entourage ,etc. now when i open word, excel , it shows some message . how to restore the files. i tried by dragging them to the desktop but don't know how to reinstall them at original place.

Dragging them to desktop was not a good idea. Now you need to know where they came from.
For any still in the Trash right-click on the file and select "put back" from the context menu.
What version of Office, and what are the file names? We may be able to help you trace where they should be.

How to open an PDF file from Java Application

Hi
I am developing a GUI application in java swing.
on clicking one button, I want to open PDF file from my swing application.
Is there any API through which I can achieve this?

Here's a way to do it (if I understand you
correctly). Just let explorer.exe do it for you.
import java.awt.*;
public class openPDF
     Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
     public openPDF()
          open("test.pdf");
     public void open(String path)
          try
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer.exe "+path);
} catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("NAI!
I! ERROR!\n"+e); }
     public static void main(String[] args)
          openPDF myApplication = new openPDF();
Why do you have a Desktop object as a member but instead of using it, you execute a command with Runtime (which is not platform independent!)???

How to open/convert RAW- files from new CANON 5D Mk III in LR 3 and CS 5?

Hallo!
The RAW- files from my new CANON 5D Mk III are not convertible into LR 3 and CS 5.
What is the reason and how to solve the problem?

The work around of converting the CR2 to dng either with the dng converter or ACR 6.7 will allow working in LR and CS5 but not with the latest raw conversion engine from Adobe i.e PV 2012.
Remember to keep a copy of the CR2 files if you wish to utilize the Canon software.

How to open an existing file from java

If any other way to do please tell me.
Regards
Siva Prasad

Well, if the OS doesn't provide a mechanism to associate a file name with a certain program, there's nothing you can do.
I don't know whether something like JDIC can help you - otherwise, you'd have to find the solution for each OS. What's inside the exec()'s parenthesisses is not a Java problem anymore.

How to open an excel file from labview?

I tried to use "open file" vi from File I/O -- Advanced file functions to open an excel file in LabVIEW. Why the excel file wouldn't open after I run the program?

In addition to ActiveX, you can also manipulate Excel data files using the Windows ADO interface - a technique that is more robust, faster and IMHO easier. Do a search on the forum as there have been several threads within the last week or so discussing this very thing.

How to deploy a war file from a different app server to the SAP one

Hello,
I hve recieved a war file from Tomcat that needs to be deployed on the SAP Java App server. As far as I know the SDM only allows to deploy ear files. How can I deploy this war to the app server?

Hi Roy,
in order to deploy the WAR file you have to wrap an EAR around it. I had the same problem.
You can do this using Netweaver Developer studio.
Perform the following steps:
- Start NWDS
- Create a New Enterprise Application Project
- Create a New Web Module Project (name it like your war file => e.g. your war file is called myApp.war => call your Web Module myApp)
- Edit the application.xml of your Enterprise App if necessary (description, Displayname etc.)
- Link your Web Archive to your application archive (right Mouse click on Application Archive and from the Context Menu choose "Add Modules" => In the list choose your Web Module)
=> You can also perform a right mouse click on your web Module and from the context menu choose "Add to EAR Project" => In the list choose your Enterprise Application!
- Build Web Archive (right mouse click on your Web Module and from the context menu choose "Build Web Archive" => This will create a war file that has the same name as your war file! => If you do not see it try to switch to resource perspective!)
- Build Application archive (right mouse click on Application archive => from the context menu choose "Build Application Archive")
You are done
The EAR file is generated and will be created in your workspace.
Now browse to your workspace. Unpack the EAR using WinZip or any other Archiver program.
Replace the contained war with your war and repack the ear file (You can also use tools like Total Commander to directly replace the war file in the EAR with your war without having to unpack the war). You can also import your war into NWDS and rebuild it so you won't have to replace the WAR in the EAR but as your WAR is already built I would just replace it as described!
You can now deploy the ear file to SAP J2EE
Hope this helps (Reward points for helpful answers are appreciated!)
Cheers
