Adobe Reader ActiveX Control

Hi I want to create windows user control using adobe reader activex control, which will eventually be hosted on WPF application. But I want to customize the control so that a user is unable to print or save the PDF document using the activex user control's user interface.
Is this possible ...if not is there an alternative solution to my problem.

  • Disable Right Click Pop-Up Menu on adobe reader activex control

    Hi,
    I am using adobe reader activex control on my vb.net window based application.May i know how can i disable right click pop-up menu on adobe reader activex control?I don't want search function from right click pop up menu.
    Please help me.
    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi,
    I would disable the right click.....
    perhaps you can call a javascript function to display a table of options on your jsp with a layer:
    function myOptions( )
    var fullText =      "<table width='278'>" +
         "<tr bgcolor='#FF9900'>" +
         "<td colspan='3'> <b><font color='#000000' face='MS Sans Serif' size='3'>Option1</font></b></td>" +
         "</tr>" +
    "<tr>" +
    "<tr bgcolor='#FF9900'>" +
         "<td colspan='3'> <b><font color='#000000' face='MS Sans Serif' size='3'>Option2</font></b></td>" +
         "</tr>" +
    "<tr>" +
         " <td height='35'></td>" +
         " <td colspan='2' height='35'>" +
         "     <div align='left'>" +
    " <br>" +
    "     <p><font color='#FF0000'>Select option's from above.</font></p>" +
    "</div>" +
         "</td>" +
              "</tr>" +
    "</table>";
    editLayer( fullText, lyr );
    showLayer( lyr );
    editLayer and showLayer will display table on JSP....remeber to call the layer "1yr"
    // Show the visible layer that is passed into the function
    function showLayer( _obj ){
    if ( ns() ){
         _obj.visibility = "show";
    } else {
         _obj.style.visibility = "visible";
    // Write the layer with the text in the parameters
    function editLayer( txt, obj ){
    var doc;
    if ( ns() ) {
         doc = self.document._obj.document;
         doc.write( _txt );
         doc.close();
    } else {
         doc = _obj;     
         doc.innerHTML = _txt;     
         doc.document.close();     

  • Get page number from adobe reader activex control

    I used adobe reader activex contol in my application, I wanna access currect page number of open pdf, for that I require AcroExch.App.Avpageview. where we can get it and what would be the cost of it.Or any othe solution for access the page number of pdf.

    This is an interface supplied by Adobe Acrobat, Standard or Professional. (Note that EACH user will need to buy a copy). (And note that you cannot mix interfaces, so you won't be able to use this while displaying in the control).

  • Using Adobe Reader ActiveX control in Access 2010

    I have an access 2010 database containing records that have individual associated pdfs.  I have embedded a Adobe Acrobat PDF reader control in a form and created a function to load the appropriate pdf using the .LoadFile method so that it is visible on the same form as the database record.  When I move to a new record I want to close the file and clear the control (as though I had just opened the form) but I can't find the method to close/unload the file.  How can I do this please?
    Addition - I  have included some additional references to the Access DB so intellisense identified the methods for the Active X control (acroPDF).  There is no 'unload' or 'close' method though that I can see, unless there are options to the ExecCommand method that I can use??
    All help gratefully received.  Thanks.  Dave

    I don't know if this is the best way or if it works in Access 2010, but it worked for me in the 2003 version. I set the enabled property to false and back to true. Here's the code that also checks for a null in the JobOrderNumber field:
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    JOstr = Me.JobOrderNumber
    On Error GoTo 0
    On Error Resume Next
    ErrorHandler:
    Me.AcroPDF0test.Enabled = False
    Me.AcroPDF0test.Enabled = True
    End Sub

  • Acrobat Reader ActiveX Control printer selection

    Hello,
    I'm using the Acrobat Reader ActiveX control  in a web page (IE8) to automatically print a PDF document. I don't want to show the preferences dialog box, so I use the "printAllFit" method. This method sends the document to the default printer of the OS.
    The problem that I have is that the client uses more than one printer, so I need to change the default printer before the method invocation. But if I change the default printer (manually or programmatically by a custom ocx) the ActiveX is still sending the document to the initial default printer.
    I have solved the problem for Acrobe Reader 8 (or lower) by killing the Windows process of the Acobat Reader ("AcroRd32.exe") before a new method invocation, but in Acrobat Reader 9 this process doesn't exist (I think that it is associated to the IE process, and I can't terminate it).
    Any idea to solve this problem?
    Thank you very much for your help

    With Reader 9, there is one process per PDF that is opened.

  • Adobe Reader touch controls in windows 7

    I am trying to get a windows 7 tablet to be a powerful sales tool.  This will require the nice presentation of adobe PDF's.  When using the tablet and adobe reader in Full Screen Mode I can not find a way to exit the full screen mode except to open the tablet up to make the ESC key available the pressing it.  I am using Adobe Reader 9.3.2.
    This is not really acceptable as we are trying to make this a touch only setup, this so far is the only need to use the keyboard.  Any suggestions?

    In full screen mode while the laptop is folded in tablet mode, there is no buttons available on the screen.  If you are referring the the buttons on the laptop itself, they do not exit it from this full screen mode, just rotate screen, lock, and power.
    Any other thoughts?

  • Reading ActiveX Control Enumerations

    I am using an ActiveX control that defines enumerations in an .odl file "typedef enum {RED, GREEN} COLOR;". Visual Basic can extract information about the enumeration (I can type "Dim c As MyControlLib.COLOR" and then type "c = " and VB will provide "RED" and "GREEN" in its auto-completion feature.)
    QUESTION: In LabView, is there any way I can use/access these enumerations? In other words, is there a way to specify "RED" instead of zero without defining my own "patch" ring or enumeration control?

    When you drop an ActiveX property or invoke node, select an input or output and select Create.... LabVIEW will create a constant, control or indicator ring with the control names list.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX Zoom Issue

    I can't seem to figure out a way to calculate the current zoom percentage.  When the document comes up it's auto sized for width.  However I have no way of knowing what the zoom value is.  How do I figure out what the current zoom is?  I'm using the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control.  I can't use the full version or anything that requires a royalty because this application will be distributed to thousands of clients.  So to the vendors that want me to buy their product don't waste your time...  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

  • How to set Print...More Options...Current View in ActiveX control?

    I am using Visual Studio 2012 to develop an application that will open large PDFs (24" x 36") and allow the user to zoom to a particular part of the document. I want to give them a Print button on my application to simply print the Current View of the document to the default printer. I want limited customer options, so no showing the Print Dialog, etc... This will be for general customer use. I am trying to do this with the Acrobat Reader ActiveX control. If this cannot be done with the ActiveX control, I thins something I could do with the full Acrobat SDK? Thanks!

    The Reader control actually does what I want pretty well. I set the mouse wheel to allow zooming, the hand tool to drag the document around works easy and fast. I just need to turn off some of the Acrobat Toolbar options and set this Print Current View option.
    This is frustrating as back in Acrobat Reader 7 or 8 I think, you could set the Current View in the Print Dialog and the setting would stay until it was specifically changed. Now it reverts per print job, thus I now having to code against the Reader control, or other, to get around it, to keep the user from having to set this option each time (and the user will change frequently as they are walk-in customers)
    Anyway with this additional list of requirements, do you thihnk I still cannot do it with the Reader ActiveX control? If not, and I need to use the SDK, do you mean I would have to buy a full copy of Adobe Acrobat and install on that system for the application to work? If so, do I also need to buy another full copy of Adobe Acrobat for my development system so I can write code and test the application? If I need a full copy for the Dev computer, does Adobe have any kind of reduced pricing for a Dev version?
    Thanks!

  • Digital signatures in Acrobat activex control

    Hi, can anyone help me please.
    I'm embedding the acrobat reader activex control inside a winforms application (C#).
    I can load a document and it does display on the winform application.
    Now, in the PDF document, there is a signature field, so when you click on the signature field it is suppose to pop up a window that acquires the signature from a signature pad (I've got a topaz and wacom signature pad connected to the pc).
    Instead a different signature window is displaying, where you select from a list of certificates to be inserted.
    Now, first of all is it possible when using the activex control to obtain signatures from external devices like my signature pads? I just can't seem to get this to work.
    Regards
    Gerhard

    It is Adobe Reader X, yes it does work with Reader in standalone mode, no web browser also the same thing, doesn't pop up the window to select the signature pad to get the signature from.

  • Using Acrobat Reader activeX to get the current page views in a document

    Hello,
    I'm using the Acrobat Reader ActiveX control.
    How can I use this API (or any other way) to get the current page of the PDF document inside the Acrobat reader ActiveX control ?
    Thanks
    Ariel

    Aandi,
    I reckon that you might be right.
    But as side note, maybe Adobe will lose me and others as contributers for her PDF oriented solutions for other formats.
    In the long run experts can tell which approach is better: a .Net like approach (no limitations upon development issues for ) or this kind of an approach.
    Thank you very very much for you help!

  • Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    When reading PDF attachments, I get the following:  Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work.  I get this:  This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I don't know how to do what is being asked.  I have tried to download Adobe Reader again but get this when I do:  Note:  this application already installed.
    I have Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) with an update installed on 2/19/2011.  I have Windows XP SP3.
    Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the input.  Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version?  If you removed it, how did you do that?  The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.

  • Error 2331 when installing Adobe Reader 10.1.3

    Adobe automatic updater notified me that I had an update to install. I tried installing it, and got the following message:
    Error 2331. Error loading library MSPATCHA or finding entry point ApplyPatchToFileByHandlesEx
    I tried Microsoft Fixit, no change. I uninstalled Adobe Reader from Control Panel Add/Remove Software and downloaded Adobe Reader X again, and it won't install--I get the same Error 2331.

    One more suggestion; can you try to download and run the MSI installer?
    10.1.0 installer: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
