Acrobat Pro 9 - URL link to open in browser in background (behind PDF)?

Hi! I've been searching for days now... does anyone know if it's possible using Acrobat Pro 9 to force a URL link to open in the background, behind a PDF in order to keep the reader at the PDF instead of instantly switching to their web browser?
This is used for a capabilities presentation, where we would like the view to continue reading the PDF but if they click links, the links will load in their browser where they can review them after finishing the PDF - instead of instantly being taken to the browser.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Go the the Applications -> Utilities folder. In there you will find the Disk Utility app. When you run that application, you can select your hard drive. Then click on the Fix Permssions button.

Acrobat Pro 8.1.3 always opens in browser

As a result of Adobe recently automatically updating my Acrobat 8 Pro to version 8.1.3 it now always opens clicked PDF links in IE7 browser window, even though EDIT/PREFERENCES/INTERNET "Display PDF in browser" is UNTICKED in both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader8.
This is annoying as I absolutely hate PDFs opening in the browser.
I've tried it with all Adobe helper add-ons in IE7 either enabled or disabled. I've also tried switching Acrobat to "Display PDF in browser" and back again. It always opens in browser whatever I do.
I have not moved where Acrobat lives on the disk. Nor have I fiddled with the registry. It was working fine before this latest update.
Any ideas?

You should check your file associations (Start--> Control Panel--> Folder Options--> File types) to check what program should open .pdf files. It should be Adobe Acrobat.
Also, you should make sure that you DO NOT HAVE Acrobat and Acrobat Reader installed on the same system This situation has been know to cause all sorts of erratic behavior with Acrobat. Also, Adobe STRONGLY SUGGESTS that only one product, not both, be installed on one system.

URL link to open transaction in NWBC Desktop client

Hi!
I am trying to create an URL link to open a transaction in a role that I am using.
The webpage is shown in a web-chip as a part of FPM page inthe NWBC desktop client.
I have tried this type of concept: https://serverXX:8000/sap/bc/nwbc/~canvas/roleEntry/MyROLE:56/
The problem is that this opens the transaction in the HTML version of NWBC (inside NWBC desktop client).
However, I would do not want to use the HTML based version of the transaction. I want to use nativ abap transaction inside NWBC Desktop client.
I am able to open the transaction with a link from a webbrowser with this type of link:
sap-nwbc://https://serverXX:8000/sap/bc/nwbc/~canvas/roleEntry/MyROLE:56/
This link does not open at all from within NWBC....
How do I achieve opening a transaction via URL from inside the NWBC Desktop client?

Hi Stefan,
Same issue i have as well.
My Understanding is, in NWBC desktop, if you open a non sap (eg: html) page, NWBC becomes an IE Browser.
That means you are now out of SAP for that tab (with html page) and whenever you try to launch any SAP transaction (using the method from HTML) it will launch in a new window and ask for Login.
May be Experts like Samuli Kaski & Melinda Ludanyi can put some light on it.
But, I have one more solution for this which is partially working in my case. May be helpful in you case as well.
Issue: From some SAP transaction in NWBC (say tab A), you are launching the html page (say tab B) and then want to launch another SAP transaction (Say tab C) from html.
Solution: Embed the HTML in SAP using HTML Viewer class and launch SAP custom transaction using the interface IF_LSAPI. It will launch it in new tab as a sap transaction with your html page.
Now if you want to launch the SAP transaction from your html page (Which is embedded in SAP custom transaction) you can use HTML Viewer class Events and you can pass parameters as well. Re use the same interface IF_LSAPI and launch it in new tab
In my case i am facing problems as the web developer has so many things on java script and they are not working properly. He is working on it and i am hoping it will be fine.

Nik

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died. Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again. Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes. I send the error report every time.

I have installed Acrobat Pro but it won't open. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and still the same thing. Any suggestions?

Hi maggie810,
Which OS are you using?
Did you get any errors during installation?
What version of Acrobat are you installing?

I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents.

I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents. All other CS6 applications are available. The icon for Acrobat just shows the internet explorer icon.

There is a special procedure for Acrobat as part of CS. It goes something like opening one of the other applications and activating, then opening Acrobat (I think the others need to stay open) and activating it. It seems like a strange procedure and is likely documented in your info -- but I can't say for sure.

Hi Susan,
Please try the following:
The path listed below points to the Library folder at the root of your startup disk, not the Library folder in your user home folder.
Delete all the files from following folders:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SL Store/
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SL cache/
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/
Then launch Acrobat, Accept EULA and enter the serial number again and check.

My account is active and paying per month for Acrobat Pro. Why I cannot open files and the screen asks for serial number?

I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.
Check this Adobe ID on Adobe's to make sure that it has an active subscription.

Form created in Acrobat Pro 9 not able to open in Reader 8? Help!

I created a form in Acrobat Pro, version 9 and enabled the extended features so that the user in reader is able to save the document after filling it out. The only problem is that it seems that the document can only be opened in Acrobat Reader X because when opened up in earlier versions of Reader, it asks to be upgraded in order to fill in the form. Is there any way of "saving down" the file so that people can view and fill out the form who are using Reader 7 or 8 or 9?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply Torben. When I export the pdf after adjusting the settings in pdf optimizer, I have "discard form fields" unclicked, but it still flattens the form fields and so that was the reason I did not save down and make compatible with version 7 or later.
Any other suggestions? There must be a way to make it compatible while keeping the form fields.?
Thanks in advance!

Acrobat Pro X crushes just after opening (Mac OS 10.7.5)

Hi! I just bought Adobe Creative Suite 6, everything is fine but Adobe Acrobat Pro X that crushes immediately after opening. It is updated to the last update and I have Mac OS 10.7.5. Does this problem disappear moving to Maverics?
I had problems from the beginning with Acrobat because it it didn't installed automatically, I had to search for its own .dmg in folders, and as you can see from the attached image I cannot uninstall it either because it is not in the list, is it normal??
Hope you can help me since it is a software I really need!
Thank you, all bests

I think you should ask in the Acrobat forum. This is the Reader one.

Installed Acrobat Pro 9 - requires password to open any PDF & botches InDesign exports to PDF

Installed CS4 on my new Mac, using the downloaded installation file. Everything works except Acrobat. I uninstalled Acrobat & reinstalled it. Same problems remain:
1a. Everytime I open a PDF, I get this message: "Adobe Acrobat Pro wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I have to enter the username & password for my computer to open every PDF. Then they open correctly.
1b. If I open Acrobat from the Applications folder, without opening a file, I get the same message & must enter username & password to open Acrobat.
2. From InDesign, I export PDFs using File > Export. The PDFs have little rectangles for about half the text in the entire document. I routinely export both hi-res (Print Quality) and lo-res (Smallest File Size) PDFs in InDesign & this happens with all of them.
Most of the work I do results in PDFs. None of them have password protection or other security. I don't see anything in Preferences that looks like it would relate to these issues. Help, please!

Can't open Acrobat Pro 9 with Photoshop cs5 open

For some reason I can't open pdf files or even the Acrobat application while photoshop cs5 is open. As soon as I shut it down I can open the file no problems. I'm assuming it has something to do with how much memory photoshop is using, but I've never had this problem before with any previous versions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I've noticed two ways it misfunctions
1) Photoshop is open
2) I try to open acrobat by either using the quick launch icon that has always worked in the past, or by opening a pdf file either in a folder or as a link on the web. It will not open and offers no error message. It merely 'dings' at me like when you try to click on something in a doc when you've got another window open and u need to press ok or cancel before you can do anything else.
or
1) I've already got acrobat open
2) I open photoshop ok
3) I go back to acrobat and try to do something like print and the program crashes and shuts down... no error message.
Opening at the original exe doesn't change anything. Acrobat works fine when photoshop isn't open.

How do I force all url links to open only in Firefox ?

OS : WindowsXP-Prof_SP3
FF version 18.0.2
My default browser is FF, but not quite as expected.
Url links appearing Outlook 2010 messages or appearing in website pages are mostly still opening another browser (AvantBrowser) instead of Firefox.
How can I force links to access only FF ?
In other words how do I prevent to open links in any other browser ?
Most irritating are links appearing in Outlook 2010 messages.
Those links always open in AvantBrowser, which I don't want to uninstall for the moment being.
Despite the fact that I applied both procedures, according Mozilla HELP informations !
1. Settings within FF itself
2. Settings within Windows-XP (problem here)
Windows-XP refuses to modify existent current settings to the choices which I want to remain permanent... (as NOT shown in a screenshot I made ; but apparently can't be uploaded here .
After OK and closing all windows,including ControlPanel, nothing has been changed.
Going back to [ControlPanel>...> same window] to check if the option has been changed, my choices are gone and old settings remain unchanged ! Why ???
Like I wrote already procedure described in http://mzl.la/L8LwDs has already been done.

This screenshot shows the settings being asked for, but they are not registered by Windows. Each attempt to 'modify' the settings to new choices fails.
Do I have to restart system or is there some button to confirm the wanted choices ?
After closing this window and coming back to the same window, the settings which were chosen are lost and back again... as they were before.
