Select a word using its quad points/rect point in adobe reader using Javascript

The only option you have to select a word using JS is by using the selectPageNthWord method, which works based off an index, not a quads.
However, in principle you should be able to use a loop that iterates over all the words on the page, comparing their quads to the one you have, and then selecting the one that matches.

  • How to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

    how to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

    I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
    PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
    This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
    Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.

  • Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader.

    Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader. Do I have to pay for it or just sign up? Thank you in advance.

    "...the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader." 
    Not possible.
    No version of Adobe Reader can:
    --| create PDF 
    --| manipulate PDF page content  
    --| export PDF page content
    Adobe Reader XI does provide a "connection" to various Adobe hosted online subscription services (that are under "acrobat.com").
    There is a subscription services can create PDF from supported file formats that are uploaded to the service.
    This subscription service is "PDF Pack".
    With an active (paid up) subscription to a service one can make use of the service.
    Be well...

  • How do I install adobe reader using Internet Explorer Windows 8? It keeps timing out.

    How do I install Adobe reader using Internet Explorer Windows 8? It keeps timing out on me. I have tried installing it using Fire Fox also, that did not work either.

  • Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

    Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

    I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop.  It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page!  Made reading an ebook difficult.
    I finally found the solution:
    Under Edit select Preferences - General
    Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming". 

  • Can I use more than one version of Adobe Reader on an iPad, 8.1 touch and 11.1

    Can I use more than one version of Adobe Reader on an iPad  adobe Reader Touch and Reader 11.1 .  .  I use Acrobat XI Pro although I had some old files that were stored on adobe.com from a prior version of acrobat 9 student edition.
    I guess the same question for my Surface Pro2 Computer might apply, although I gather from what I read that you shouldn't have two versions of reader on a computer.

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

  • Which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9?

    Hello,
        which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9? It is said that "CosDocSaveWithParams" can't be used.
    thanks!
    jimmy

    Unless the PDF file is "READER ENABLED for SAVE" (see the adobe product pages on LiveCycle Reader extensions server)
    You are not able to call a Save at all, if the document is reader enabled then you need to use the JavaScript call to save the document,
    As you appear to be wanting to do this in a plug-in you would need to call the script from a plug-in, this can be done using the AFExecuteThisScript () function call.
    Please note that this does will fail if the document is not reader enabled for save and you need to include the Forms HFT in your plug-in,
    This plug-in would also have to be approved by Adobe to be used with the reader and as you are implementing a function that is available in the full Acrobat product this may not be a straight forward approval.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • How do I set the Page size default in Adobe Reader using Window 8?

    I need to set the page size everytime I go to print from my Adobe Reader in my windows 8. Is there a way to set the page I want letter (8.5 by 11) as a default? So I do not have to do this everytime I print something?

    I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!

  • How do I open a secure document in Adobe reader using my iPhone 5

    I Am trying to pay a bill using adobe reader. I understand how to open a document from my emails with the app, but once I open the document in Adobe reader it is still secured and will not let me enter in my account  info to pay the bill. How can this be fix?

    Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, etc.) do not support commenting or form filling with secured (hence, encrypted) PDF documents.
    Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer to fill in the secured PDF form.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • PDF not opening in Adobe Reader using openWithDefaultApplication

    Hello all,
    I'm having a huge problem.
    I've developed an application that opens pdf files from the desktop using openWithDefaultApplication().
    It works great on my development PC which has Acrobat Pro.
    The files open in Acrobat Pro flawlessly.
    It DOES NOT work on other PCs that only have Adobe Reader.
    Someone please help!!
    Does anyone know why my application won't open pdf files using Adobe Reader?
    All tested PCs are running Windows 7 and Air 4.0.
    I've tried with both Adobe Reader X and XI.
    Thank you in advance,
    Mr12.

    Update:
    My stupidity.  Changed a path and still had the old folder on development computers so all appeared fine.  That was the issue.

  • Unable to launch Adobe Reader using ShellExecute with Protected Mode on

    HI
    Using the latest Adobe Reader 11.0.9, I open a PDF via ShellExecute in a legacy 32bit application, I get an unsupported configuration dialog and prompt to open with Protected Mode disabled always, once or don't open.
    I need it to open with Protected Mode enabled.
    The folder is in the Security (Enhanced) Privileged Locations.
    I turned Protected Mode logging on and I see these messages when I call ShellExecute:
    [12:02/18:17:12] interceptions setup failed - error:0x0
    [12:02/18:17:12] Failed to add target - error:0x0
    [12:02/18:17:12] Failed to launch sandbox process. ResultCode: 1 error:0x5A4
    [12:02/18:17:12] Sandbox Process Initialization Failed - error:0x5A4
    I've read the Unsupported Configurations section of the Protected Mode Troubleshooting guide but nothing matches my system as far as I can tell.
    I am running the 32bit legacy application in Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) as a member of Domain Administrators
    What can you suggest is the unsupported configuration?
    Thanks

    I've tried another PDF viewer and it works fine so I think it's time to say goodbye to Adobe Reader.

  • How to enable forms extenstion for adobe reader using Acrobat SDK?

    Adobe acrobat GUI tool  enables PDF forms designers to extend the use of Adobe Reader and allow the end user to save the PDF form locally using the Reader.
    Is it possible to do the same kind of fuctionality at run time on the server using Acrobat SDK?.
    We are creating several PDF Form on the server, is there any way we can use Acrobat SDK to enable form's extenstions programatically on the server after the PDF is created.
    If Yes How? any code example?

    Not using the Acrobat SDK, no.
    However, Adobe sells the LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server that can be
    used on a server for exactly this purpose.
