Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 on the AIX 5.3

Since the gtk2.2 + is required on AIX5.3 to use the 7.0.9 reader on the AIX box, I download it from http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html
The following gtk is what I used
gtk2 2.8.3 License RPM Source The GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating GUIs for X.
But when I try to install this gtk in to my AIX box, the following errors are found :
hammer/#rpm -i gtk2-2.8.3-9.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libpng is needed by gtk2-2.8.3-9

I am really curious that why so many librarys are needed for the gtk. I need to download them one by one?
Thanks in advance for any response!

I was able to load all of the dependencies except for the following 2:
rpm -ivh xcursor-1.0.2-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libXrender.a(libXrender.so.0) is needed by xcursor-1.0.2-3

Where can I find these libraries?

Adobe Acrobat Reader XI no longer copies the selection to where I want to insert it in an MSWord document, but only to the top of the page! How fix this?

I have no idea what this means; can you elaborate?

I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?
Thanks !!

pierreswaggy,
If you have a PDF document opened in some other app on your iPad/iPhone, you can use the "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 or 8 version)
If you have PDF documents on your Mac or Windows desktop/notebook computer, you can use Acrobat.com (cloud storage) to share them with your computer(s) and mobile device(s).
On your Mac/Windows computer
Open a web browser.
Go to Acrobat.com (https://cloud.acrobat.com).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Upload your files to Acrobat.com.
You can also use the desktop version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open a PDF document from Acrobat.com or save to Acrobat.com. Please check the File menu or the toolbar for the options.
On your iPad/iPhone
Launch Adobe Reader for iOS.
Go to the Reader home screen.
Tap My Account (in the lower left corner).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Tap Acrobat.com in the left pane to see the files on Acrobat.com in Reader.
If you have a lot of large PDF documents on your computer, it would be easier and faster to transfer them to your iPad/iPhone at once (instead of one document at a time) using iTunes.
See How to transfer PDF documents from your computer to your iPad/iPhone.
The documents transferred to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes will appear in the Documents section. Because they are stored locally on your iPad/iPhone. Please note that any locally stored documents will be erased by iOS, if you uninstall (instead of update) the Reader app.
Please let us know if you have additional questions or any problems.

How to close Acrobat reader with a button inside the document ?

Hi,
Is there any way to close acrobat reader using script ?
Doing this :
app.execMenuItem("Close");
will close my document, but not the reader ...
Any idea ?

Hi Olivier,
As you say the close script will close the current document only. It is not possible to script for closing the application (Acrobat or Reader).
The user has to close the application.

When opening a pdf link the process stalls and there is a message that Adobe acrobat reader is running. to the best of my knowledge I do not have the reader. I have an older version of Acrobat Pro. How can I fix this?

when opening a pdf link on a web poage the process stalls and there is a message that Adobe acrobat reader is running. To the best of my knowledge I do not have the Acrobat reader. To the best of my knowledge I have deleted the reader program. I have an older version of Acrobat Pro. The problem occurred before I did the deletion and continues since then.

Assuming that you are using IE10 / IE11 on Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

When downloading pdf files the acrobat reader is not in the group of "Choose Helper Application" programs.

No matter what I try I can never get the Acrobat Reader to be added to the group of "Choose Helper Application" programs available in that window when downloading a pdf. I always have to browse to the Acrobat reader and select it that way.
I have enabled Acrobat in the add-ons manager, but that has not solved the problem.
In the options > applications menu I've selected use Acrobat Reader for pdf files but that doesn't work and furthermore doesn't seem to stick. That is, sometimes when I check that menu later the selection has reverted to "always ask".
I'm using Firefox 32 on Windows 7. I have used Firefox on XP for years and never had this problem.

Here are some screen shots to backup my claims.

Hide the Acrobat Reader Menu Bar

For my Livecycle Designer ES document, I only want the Acrobat Reader end users to use my buttons (SAVE, PRINT, EXIT) rather than the Acrobat Reader Menu Bar to access the same functions. My buttons contain various java scripts that are necessary for form completion. If they bypass these buttons using the Acrobat Reader Menu Bar (example: File, Print), then the form will not capture the data properly.
Is there a way to hide the Acrobat Reader Menu bar for my specific form through a built in function in Livecycle ES or is there a java script that can be used to hide the Reader Menu Bar?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
I am fairly sure that you cannot access the presence of the Menu Bar. I have tried here but can't get it to work.
An alternative would be to open the form full screen. When you do this the cursor changes into a click advance (to next page), but you can also turn this off.
An example is here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
I appreciate that the user can elect not to go into full screen or can escape out of it, but it is a rough workaround.
The following in the docReady event should work:
app.execMenuItem("FullScreen");
app.fs.clickAdvances = false;
Good luck,
Niall

Printing in Acrobat Reader X gives an extra unwanted line in the bottom margin

Printing in Acrobat Reader X gives an extra unwanted line in the bottom margin. This margin should normally be blank. The line pattern follows the pattern of the print inside the margins. How can I print without this extra line?. The problem does not occur with the same documents opened in Acrobat Reader 9.4.

I had the same problem when I created my pdf for my Realtor flyer using microsoft publisher. I was able to get rid of the unwated line by using a png file in the publisher before generating the pdf.

Since Lion doesn't support Power PC... how do I open Adobe acrobat reader?

I'm trying to open Adobe Acrobat Reader to download something from the internet, and discovered for the first time that I can't because Power PC is no longer supported by Apple..(whatever that is????) I don't know what to do. Can someone help. Thank you sgarbo

power pc is an old cpu type made by ibm that apple used to put in their rather old macs
if you downloaded an acrobat reader which require power pc then you downloaded the wrong! and possible dangerous version of acrobat reader download the correct one if you must from adobes site
but osx support displaying pdf files without you installing that program
which along with Java are the biggests caused of insucrity in private computers there are apple and windows alike

My submit button on my PDF form is greyed out (will not work) after posting link to PDF on my WordPress website. It works in Acrobat Reader just fine.

This is where you can see the form as clicked through to from the WordPress website page:
http://pinetreeplayers.com/ptp_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/submit-a-play.pdf
The PDF file was created in Acrobat 11, with a submit button. The submit button is actioned to send the form via email. It works perfectly by itself if the form is opened in Acrobat Reader, but once I upload the PDF to my WordPress site the submit button is greyed out, and will not complete the action to send on-click.
How can I fix this please - can anyone offer advice?

Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
The internal viewers are created to process PDF documents by not including the features and code to process PDF forms.

Flash is not working in Adobe Acrobat Reader

Hi - I created a bunch of Flash tabs in Flash CS6 - they work great - but I want to put them into Adobe Acrobat X PRO (the writer) and they imported just fine and work just great inside of Acrobat X PRO. However when I go to send the exported PDF with the Flash elements inside of it - to someone who only has Acrobat Reader (but doesn't have the Flash plug-in installed on their machine) - that person can open the PDF and can even view the Flash element but they get a yellow bar across the top of the PDF that says they must install the Flash plug-in to use it. Well that is great but this PDF is being used out in the field where they cannot install the Flash plugin....
I am suprised it does this because Flash importing and exporting capability is native to Acrobat Reader...and I thought I read that Acrobat has flash reading/rendering capability natively built into the Reader itself. Am I wrong - and/or does anyone have a workaround for this??
Andrew

Hi andrewpweyrich
What is the version of Adobe Reader You're using ?
Flash has been removed from the Reader X in latest releases and also it has been removed from Reader XI.
You Need to sepeately download and install the Flash plug-in to view the flash content.

This.print(pp) with interactive type silent or automatic does not work after upgrade acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11

After an upgrade of acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11 the automatic printing of a pdf. The pdf is opened, but the print does not happen. With acrobat reader 9 it works. But with acrobat reader 11 the printing does not happen.
I discovered when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.full it works on acrobat reader 11. But when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent or pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic it does not work on acrobat reader 11. But with the full option we have a dialog print box
we do not want.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:

Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

Can't Open PDF Package In Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3

Yesterday, I created a PDF Package of about 30 documents. When I attempt to open the package using Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3, I get the Data Execution Prevention pop-up message saying that the file cannot be opened. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?

Have not tried that yet. It was next on my schedule. I have another project that I'm working concurrently, but will have some time later today and will try that. Will post the results. Thanks for the suggestion.
