Adobe DPSSE for Android -- Why not?

Can someone please help me understand why the refusal to offer this for Androids?  Is Adobe in an exclusive Apple contract or similar?  Please do not respond with stupid suggestions like "buy an apple".  We have costs concerns and not every company can afford to pump extra dollars in a platform because it's trendy, cute, and expensive.

They don’t offer for iPhone either. It’s iPad only. For starters on android you are limited to 50 megabyte apps.
I understand that Twixl has a method for getting around this. You might want to check them out because Adobe has pretty much said they have no plans to offer this.

  • Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work

    The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?

    Mehwish,
    Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
    It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
    I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
    Thanks again for you help.

  • After creating a form from an existing document, viewing it in Adobe Reader for Android only shows the form fields, and not the document behind it.

    Using an existing PDF file to create an editable form that I can update on my tablet as I go, but when I open the file on my tablet (using Adobe Reader for Android), it only shows the blue editable fields that I've created, but not the actual form that's supposed to be behind it. However, it views properly on my PC. Am I not saving it out correctly?

    Please share the sample file with me. I am sending you instruction via private message.

  • Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

    I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.

  • Does Adobe Reader for Android have the Flash Player Runtime

    I have a PDF document that I generate which contains an embedded Flex application.
    It works fine with the desktop version of PDF reader. However. It doesn't appear that
    PDF reader for Android contains the Flash Player runtime.
    Can someone from Adobe confirm this ?
    Thanks.

    Dov, you confimed that Adobe Reader for Android has the Flash Player Runtime - I thought this feature is necessary to be able to show embedded  (flv) videos?
    What about viewing cross platform proof PDF files containing mp4 (H.264) embedded videos?
    Up to now I’m forced to show ezPDF Reader in my workflow scenarios - think about the bad psychology that I always will have explain that the rich media PDF workflows could work with Adobe products, but Adobe itself seems to limit PDF use cases in order not to become a competitor of let’s guess of FOLIO?
    Please explain me why? No market? I would like to contradict as much as I can.
    If someone starts to weaken the big possibilities for PDF even on mobile devices this seems to be Adobe itself: Where are the Adobe show cases showing rich media PDFs on mobile devices?
    Almost everything Adobe is showing with rich media information is in DPS  based on Folio  (slide shows, videos etc).
    You might get all the functionality much easier using PDF (seen from a classic DTP workflow using Word, FrameMaker or InDesign)
    Why didn’t Adobe add more multimedia features?  Where is the 3D support on mobile devices?
    Has Adobe changed the overall PDF strategy?
    Where is an  Adobe PDF cross platform strategy for using rich media PDFs on PC, Macs, Android and iPhone/iPads?

  • How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

    How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
    Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
    I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

    Hi John,
    Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
    Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
    Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
    You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
    Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks,

  • Launch Adobe Reader for Android via Intent in Read-Only mode

    One issue I've bumped into recently with respect to launching Adobe Reader for Android via an ACTION_VIEW intent is that fillable forms can apparently always be filled and saved, thus modifying the original file.  That may be wonderful in many applications, but I have a situation where I would really not like users to be able to make any changes to the document (i.e. filling in fields and saving) at the current time.
    I am assuming that there is currently no Intent option to open a PDF in Adobe Reader in true read-only mode (preferably such that fillable fields wouldn't even be fillable).
    For now, I'll probably just have to point to a copy of the file, but it would be more convenient to have a handful of properly-documented options for launching read-only via an Intent.

    GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

  • How can I copy or print all text highlights in Adobe Reader for Android?

    I read many tech books as pdfs. And highlight the parts I want to note.
    Since I am now reading them on an Android Tablet using Adobe Reader for Android, I need to find a way to move my highlights to a separate doc when I am done reading. I don't see instructions for this anywhere.
    How can I copy all text highlights at once from a document?
    And / or
    How can I print all text highlights from a document?
    Thanks,
    ken

    Thanks.
    Kindle Reader will let me do that with Kindle books and docs that I buy from
    Amazon, but not with personal docs (such as pdfs) that I import, unfortunately.
    Is a VERY useful feature!

  • Highlight text in adobe reader for android

    Dear Adobe Reader Team,
    I've had a problem with my adobe reader for android version 11.5.0
    It's not highlighting any text or doesn't even select it when I scroll over.
    Kindly help me with this Problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like you have a scanned PDF document.  Because a scanned PDF document contains images of text (not real text), you will not be able to select text or highlight it.  You can still add Freehand drawing and/or sticky notes to a scanned PDF document.
    To recognize text in a scanned PDF document, you need to run special Text Recognition software.  Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) offers the capability, where as free Adobe Reader products do not.

  • Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

    I am a medical  teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to"  video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure.  It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into  a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader?  Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

  • Adobe Reader for Android - Links are now invisible on Android Phone!

    After the latest update to Adobe Reader for Android - Links are now invisible on Android Phone!

    Hi,
    You are correct,with the latest update, we have modified the links appearance.
    This decision was based on a feedback from the users.
    We changed the appearance as users were reporting that the 'blue rectangles' that used to indicate links, were interfering with their document viewing experience.Also, since those rectangles are actually not how the author made the file, we wanted to make the file look exactly as the author had desired.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader for Android: Bookmarks

    I find Adobe Reader for Android excellent even for image or picture files in that it allows searching for words and highlighting etc.
    However it lacks one important feature - bookmarks.
    Please add bookmarks as soon as possible to make an excellent product even better.

    Actually, the Adobe Reader for Android does support bookmarks to the same degree as Adobe Reader on both Windows and Macintosh. Any bookmarks that were created by the PDF file's authoring application or added to the document with Adobe Acrobat may be readily accessed. The Adobe Reader applications (Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android) do not provide any mechanism for adding, modifying, or deleting bookmarks.

  • Partial wakelock in Adobe Air for Android

    I'm developing Adobe Air (for Android) application which is intended to be constantly on. App has event based operations. However, when phone enters to sleep mode app is able to perform only one or few events in a second which is not good enough. AIR's SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE -mode is not an alternative since it is too battery consuming.
    I'm looking for a solution where phone is allowed to go into sleep mode (screen is off) but still CPU performance is not drastically dropped. Not sure if Android's partial wakelock -mode does the job and is available via ANE?

    Well Im a bit puzzled now. I just created a quick AIR app using AIR13 for Android and did a DEACTIVATE test on the NativeApplication.nativeApplication property and used a TextField to "trace" out the frame rate when the app deactivated. The frame rate stayed at 24FPS the entire time. I turned the screen off, let it turn off, went to the home screen, and switched to other apps while the test app was still running. In all cases, the frame rate never dropped to 4FPS as indicated in Adobe's documentation. So it is either something a bug or feature of AIR13+ or it is how Android KitKat handles applications in the background. Im using an unlocked/stock Moto X running Android 4.4.3. The app also appends the getTimer() call to the end so you can see that it does change. Here is a link to the quick app I created: Dropbox - deactivate.apk
    I guess if you want to download that and test it out to see how it behaves on your device and let me know the results. What device and OS are you running?
    Below is the original message I started to type before I decided to create a quick app to test with. It may or may not still be relevant based on your results from my app test.
    If you are looking at just recording information, you could probably setup something on the Android/Java side that gets started when the app "sleeps" using the DEACTIVE event as a trigger to start the ANE side of things. Then when your app "wakes", you could use the ACTIVATE event to trigger a call to the ANE to pull all the data collected in the Java side back to AIR and stop the ANE data capture since the data capture would be back to being handled by AIR.
