Adobe Acrobat OLE

Has anyone successfully used WEBUTIL CLIENT_OLE to run acrobat reader?
We want to be able to print PDF files to the local printer on the client. We can get the PDF file to the client, but printing it is another problem.
Using CLIENT_HOST("acrord32 /t <pdf_file>"); leaves the reader running and we want it to close when the print job is finished.
I go Word working fine, but I can't even get Acrobat reader to launch!
Please provide Code!

I've looked at both options.
OraRRP opens the Adobe window, prints the report, then closes the window. This causes (and I quote) "the screen to flash". It also requires that we manually install OraRRP on every client (unless I've missed something in the documentation).
AcroRd32 is a problem because it leaves the window open and you have to know the full path to the executable (wich changes with each version) and again "causes the screen to flash".
OLE (apparently) will allow us to print documents and has a "HIDE" property which we can use to ensure that there is not screen flashing.
The problem is, I can get word OLE to work, but not Acrobat OLE.

Integration of SAP with MS Office & Adobe Acrobat Reader using OLE

Hi Friends,
I have to integrate MS Office 2003 and ADOBE Acrobat reader with SAP very much like that demonstrated in SAPRDEMODOCUMENTCONTAINER program given in the control examples by SAP. But the problem is, the code I am developing and even in the one given by SAP has some problems in them. They are:
(1) When a MS Word or any application is opened, many of its attributes are
disabled like CTRL+ N for opening new document and CTRL+ O for opening
an existing file and many others.
(2) When I try to open an existing file using the recently used list, it is opening in
a new window but my requirement is to open it in the same window in which
the application frame is displayed over SAP screen.
(3) I am following the same procedure that is used in the above said example and
unable to understand the way methods of the inner most interface are implem-
ented like method CONTAINER_CONTROL->CREATE_DOCUMENT that is
called from within I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY~CREATE_DOCUMENT method. I
am clueless how it is working.
Please guide me how to solve the problem along with some good reference material that you can suggest me to study.
Thanks & Regards
Aditya P. Srivastava

Hi Adiya,
You need to pass the parameter 'open in place' to word file in same window.
CALL METHOD DOCUMENT->OPEN_DOCUMENT
EXPORTING OPEN_INPLACE = 'X'

Why is exported file coming up read-only in Adobe Acrobat 9 pro?

Hi. Would appreciate whatever help anyone can give me. I spent the last 2-3 weeks working on a scientific poster for my brother, who is a doctor. I did the work in Adobe.com and came to the realization I was not going to be able to save it outside the program, since it is a trial.
However, I chanced across the Export command and exported it into Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Only problem is it is now a read-only file. I can't manipulate the text. The poster is going to be about 3' X 3' and right now it has been formatted for 8 1/2" X 11" pages. I think the Fed Ex folks are going to need some editing power.
So, does anyone know if I can change this document to be edited? Or if it can be edited? Tried saving to a thumb drive, but that didn't work either.
(Please help me! This Adobe site is so complicated it is driving me mad!)
Thanks!

Hei Beth,

Kiitos lähettämässä Acrobat.com foorumi. En ole varma, että näin on, mutta se kuulostaa käytit iskusana, yksi Acrobat.com n koodinkirjoitussovellukset. Jos olet iskusana, voit muuttaa asiakirjan kokoa menemällä "Document"-valikosta ja valitsemalla "Page Setup ..."; siellä, voit muuttaa sivun kokoinen. En suosittele vientiä PDF kunnes olet päättänyt muokata, koska PDF-tiedosto on varsin vaikea muuttaa (ajatella sitä tulostettu dokumentti, että näytät näytön sen sijaan, että paperin).

Starting Actions in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Dear Adobe Acrobat users,
I know that Adobe Acrobat isnt designed to be operated through the command line. However, I was wondering whether it might be possible to start/initiate Actions that have been created with the Action Wizard from outside Adobe - with the command line perhaps?!
Thank you very much in advance,
Andreas

Through commandline parameters all you can do is open a PDF or print a file.
To do anything else, you need to communicate via OLE (in other words write a program in C++ or Visual Basic that talks directly to the Acrobat API). This is documented in the SDK help, which the above link is part of, but it's not a 5-minute job.

Which is the correct Registry Path to Get Adobe Acrobat Version?

Hi All
Originally, this post was put on [Acrobat Windows] forum, i am reposting it here, since i didnt get any answer.
I am currently using Adobe Acrobat 9.1.3 Pro in my Win XP - SP3 machine.
I would like to know how can i get the 'CORRECT' version of the installed Adobe Acrobat from the registry.
Under windows Registry, i could find two places
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.App\AcrobatVersion.
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document\AcrobatVersion.
Among these two, the first keys value shows as 8.0 and the latter shows as 9.0. I guess the first one is the correct place to look but it shows as 8.0.
by the way, i have installed it on a fresh clean machine. So is it a bug from Adobe Acrobat ? or is it correct for Adobe Acrobat ( may be in some way).
In that case can i use 'AcroExch.Document' but will it be retained in the future versions also.
thanks in advance
regards

Hi Patrick,
We are using it to query the version of the installed Adobe Acrobat in the machine in which our application is installed. If it doesnt matches our criteria, we ask the user to have the correct version to be installed.
We queried the OLE interface for the Acrobat Version because at a time you are suppose to have one installation of the Adobe Acrobat. And morevoer the OLE reg path is giving the 'Acrobat Version'. For AA8.X both the OLE registry keys were having the same version number i.e 8.0.
Yes, i guessed that the reason for multiple versions under the [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\X.0\Installer] may be for some backward compatibility. Anycase, i have already gone with the HKLM...\X.0\Installer path way.
But why is that the OLE interfaces in the registry shows two different 'Acrobat Version' for the AA9.??
thanks and regards

what is for Adobe Acrobat reader

Here's a piece of code I got from someone else a long time ago and modified to open a PDF:

vcCommand varchar2(2000);
iArgPos pls_integer;

-- 2 get the executable
vcServerTag := 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\'||
vcServerApp||'\SHELL\OPEN\COMMAND';
vcCommand:= win_api_environment.read_registry(vcServerTag,'',true);
-- 3 Sort out how to specify the Filename
iArgPos:= instr(vcCommand,'%1');
if iArgPos = 0 then --no substitution Var on the command line
vcCommand := vcCommand||' '||vFile;
else
vcCommand := substr(vcCommand,1,(iArgPos-1))||
vFile||substr(vcCommand,(iArgPos+2));
end if;
-- 4 Run using Winexec (or Host if preferred).
win_api_shell.winexec(vcCommand);

Acrobat OLE (Interop) service: I wish to save PDF to PNG with Resolution from user

Hello,
I want to save/convert PDF into PNG along with resolution I want, how do I do that? I am using Acrobat OLE Interop.
Thanks in advance.

Shakti, I did some experimenting with the program this morning.
I wasn't aware of the DC edition of Reader, but the whole concept appears to be tailored to those who store documents on Adobe's servers.
The behavior is very similar in the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC as Adobe Reader 11.0.10, but not exactly the same. When saving a PDF form on a network share which has been filled, we are still greeted with the Save As dialog.
Here I am able to choose the 'recent location' which I was just in as the save path, and the file name populates with the correct name. When I press save I am asked "Do you want to overwrite this file" and I am able to choose yes without error. This is a few less steps than before, but still annoying to end users who fill out checklists all day.
As with the previous version of Adobe Reader, disabling protected mode on start up prevents this from happening. Other things I have tried are adding the server name, file path, and specific file to the "privileged locations" under Edit -> Preferences -> Security (Enhanced) which made no difference.I also tried adding the server name to Windows Trusted Sites.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Adobe acrobat java sdk is available? if yes then its possible to convert pdf to word

adobe acrobat java sdk is available ? if yes then its possible to convert pdf to word(doc)

There is little interest in automating Acrobat with Java, since it cannot be run on a server. On a client workstation, OLE is available, and perhaps Java can use that.
(JavaScript is of course another story).

How do you deploy adobe acrobat xi from creative cloud for enterprise?

Hello,
We purchased Creative Cloud Enterprise and our new supervisor wants adobe acrobat on all computers. I downloaded the package through Creative Cloud and used the customization wizard to customize the msi in the exceptions folder just like the instructions said. I followed the steps and deployed it out using Dell Kace. When a user tries to open Acrobat, it tells them they have a trial version and they must register the product. The instructions for the customization wizard said not to put the creative cloud serial number into the customization tool. Is there something I'm missing with deploying adobe acrobat and creative cloud?
Thanks,
Michael

I'm not a CC expert, but I think normally admins configure Acrobat and then deploy everything via the Creative Cloud Packager. Acrobat certainly needs to be licensed, so when you only have a CC license, it's best to deploy in a standard way so that Acrobat get serialized with the license you have.

Can I create PAdES signature using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or 9.0?

Hi
Can I create PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures, Technical Specification ETSI TS 102 778) signature using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or 9.0?
ETSI Technical Specification (TS) 102 778 contains five parts:
• Part 1: PAdES Overview – a framework document for PAdES
• Part 2: PAdES Basic – Profile based on ISO 32000-1
• Part 3: PAdES Enhanced – PAdES-Basic Electronic Signatures and PAdES-Explicit Policy Electronic Signatures Profiles
• Part 4: PAdES Long Term – PAdES-Long Term Validation Profile
• Part 5: PAdES for XML Content – Profiles for XAdES signatures of XML content in PDF files
All five parts were published on 31 July 2009.
Thanks for answer.
Dragan

Hi,
The short answer is yes.
Acrobat 8 and later support all of requirements of PAdES such as serial signing, long term validation (time stamping and embedded revocation responses) and signatures in the PKCS#7 format.

Why is default scan in Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 legal size

I have HP LaserJet with new software. I scan directly from Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 (Windows 7, 64 bit). The only scanner I can find in dropdown is WIA. I do not see the twain driver - even though I can scan with twain driver in the HP scanning application. The problem i am experiencing is that when I scan directly from Acrobat (using the only dropdown available - WIA - ) the scan is "legal size" and not "letter size." The only option for paper size is to select paper size automatically.
I would very much like to be able to scan directly from Acrobat and have letter size documents appear as letter size documents. Please help.

Try this, it worked for me in Acrobat v.8
Start an Acrobat scan.
In "Acrobat Scan" window select "Scanner Options"
In "Scanner Options" window select "User interface: Show Scanner's Native Interface"
Click OK on "Scanner Options" window
Click Scan on "Acrobat Scan" window
Next you will be asked to save the PDF file. After this a window should open that gives you an option to select paper size and document type.
I found locations in my HP Printer/Scanner to set paper size but I don't think the information is passed from the printer to Acrobat. I suspect it is an HP problem but they are total dolts about doing anything but pointing the fingure at Adobe.
Hope this works for you. It is very cumbersome but it yields the right results.

Saving a Form created in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

We create forms for the company to use with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, but because others do not have Acrobat 9 Pro they can not save the document after they have filled out the form. This is causing a big issue for us. Does anyone know a way that we can create a Form in Acrobat 9 Pro that allows others to fill it out using just the plain version of Adobe (guessing they only have Reader) and then they can save it to their desktop?

You need to apply the Extended Reader Rights to it from the Advanced menu in
Acrobat.

Getting overprint preview preference in Adobe Acrobat 9

Hello,
yesterday I installed the Adobe Acrobat 9 Trial and I tried my plugin.
Does anyone know how to get the overprint preview setting?
In older version of Adobe Acrobat I'm using following code:
AVAppGetPrefBool(DSAVSettings[prefNumber].m_section, DSAVSettings[prefNumber].m_name, (ASBool)DSAVSettings[prefNumber].m_requiredValue_9);
m_section is "Originals" and m_name is "OverPrintPreview".
In Adobe Acrobat 9 it always returns the default value m_requiredValue_9 which means that the setting can not be found?
Do I have to change the value of m_section or m_name or do I have to use an other method?
Thanks for your help!

I'm having a problem with securing specific fields. Not sure if that can be done. I have a form that I created in LiveCycle Designer and the forms contains fields that create a basic calculation for example (Qty+Price=Total). I want those fields to be field out by our sales people and I want them to save the form with the info. field in and email to customer as a quote basically, but I don't want the customer to be able to change those numbers, but I do want the customer to fill in other portions of the field. Having a problem doing this cause Acrobat is only letting me secure the whole form and not just portions. Is there a way to only secure portions of a form. Please help ASAP.
Thank You

AutoCAD Revit Architekture 2010 in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

Hallo,
wer kann mir weiter helfen?
Wie bekomme eine AutoCAD Revite Architekture 2010 Datei in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?
Ich möchte eine 3D PDF herstellen!
Vielen Dank im Voraus.
Beste Grüße
Jörg P.

Vermutlich gar nicht, soweit ich die Infos überschaue. Bestenfalls als DWG exportieren und dann in Acrobat importieren. Da ADesk aber das Format jedes Jahr erweitert/ ändert um allen anderen den Spass zu verderben, gibt's dafür keine Garantie. SAT könnte auch funzen. Ansonsten gibt's sicher irgendwo ein schnuckeliges Export-Plugin für sowas zu kaufen...

Centering Headers and Footers in Adobe Acrobat 9

I've read past posts about the inability to center a multi-line header or footer in Adobe Acrobat 9, and the fact that it was not fixed in Acrobat 9. Is anyone working on a fix, other than manually entering spaces to center the header or footer? The frustrating thing about attempting this manual fix is that the preview one sees while entering the header/footer information DOES center the text, so that one does not have an accurate view of what will show on the page. I know that one of the suggestions is to add this information before converting the document to Adobe Acrobat. However, this occurred in a document I scanned using HP software, in which I requested that it be immediately converted to a PDF. Unfortunately, as far as I can find, HP does not keep the original scan (unlike PaperPort), so I'd have to re-scan the document. In the future, I will convert to Word, add the header, and then convert to PDF.
Thanks!
