Adobe Reader for non-symbian devices

Why do I have to have a symbian device to read pdf files? We don't need complex operations on a cell-phone with Adobe, other than reading the e-mail attachment.
I would pay for a Java version of the Reader to run on my non-symbian phone.

Thanks George, interesting thought. I looked on Adobe's site and they "advertise" fillable forms for the iPhone and Android markets, but on the Windows Phone tab, that is mysteriously missing. lol Maybe it will come later? Meanwhile, I'll google to see if there are any PDF viewers that can handle it now. Thanks for the reply. :-)

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

Can I get Adobe Reader for Nokia 109 Cellphone?

Can I get Adobe Reader for Nokia 109 Cellphone?

Dear Mr Patt,
Thanks. As I understand, Nokia does its customised Java based application that acts on low end devices like Nokia 109, as an OS. Therefore, I do not see any solutions available from Adobe.
Thanks.
The responses are comforting.
Regards.
ps: Wish someone would tell whether there is any third party Java based pdf reader for such non-OS environments?

New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS. However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete.
According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
(It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

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?

I have a new version of adobe reader for android on my tablet now i cannot delete files

I have a new version of adobe reader for android on my tablet. Now there is no delete tab to get rid of old files

Sorry, I was asking about the version of your Android operating system. But if your PDF documents are not stored on an SD card, it does not matter which Android version you have.
To permanently delete a PDF document from your Android device using Adobe Reader,
In the Reader home screen, tap Documents in the left pane.
Long press (press & hold) the PDF document that you want to delete.
Tap the trash can icon in the top toolbar.
Please note that there is no Undo for the Delete operation.
If you have many files that you want to delete, it would be easier to download and install a File Manager app and delete files at once.

PDF quality issues on Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0

The quality of PDF's rendered by Adobe Reader 2.0 PPC is awful when compared to Adobe Reader LE. We are running it on HTC X7500's with a nice 5" display, but you have to zoom in +5x to read the text on our parts manuals, where as LE renders the same manual crisply and sharply and you don't have to zoom in at all to read the text. Unfortunately we use a lot of hyperlinks, forms and annotations in our documents which are only available with AR2.0PPC and not LE or indeed any of the other 3rd party readers (FoxitReader, PocketXPDF or Clearvue).
I'm assuming that this is down to anti-aliasing methods used, and that AR2.0PPC has not been updated for four years!
Are we likely to see a version of Adobe Reader for Pocket PC with the quality of LE? or have Adobe given up on developing this platform?

>>> Our techs have been using the HTC Blueangel (Same as the I-Mate pictured on your site), and although the image rendered by Adobe Reader was quite sharp, the size of the screen meant you were continually zooming in and out of pages to find the appropriate parts. So weve chosen the HTC X7500 as a replacement because of its 5 screen (amongst other reasons). <<
Ho Kay... have looked at the file and, based on the general layout (drawings with part# references) don't think you can get there from here.
Back to the basic goal, a couple of thoughts based on the assumption that your company is generating these pdf's and needs pda access to them.
Perhaps the part# references can be hyperlinked so the tech could tap the part# on the image and go to a table entry with all of the info on that specific part.
In that case, html would be a better format for navigation since, afaik, there does not seem to be a <back> button in reader.

When will Adobe Reader for iOS support Livecycle XFA forms?

Adobe Reader for iOS currently does not appear to support XFA forms created through Livecycle. Although it supports some field types, the HTTP submit and Email submit buttons don't work.
Being able to email the completed form ready for someone else to submit would be a work around, however when attempting to 'share' a completed form and send it by email the form is blank when saved and opened in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a PC.
We are getting more and more requests from ipad users who wish to use our forms, and it seems that some other paid-for apps claim to support this. Seeing as Adobe Reader is the industry standard product for using PDFs could we have more support for pdf forms please?
...or at the very least, a product roadmap with some dates for when this might be available please?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?

Adobe reader for IOS and Dropbox

I have made some changes to a PDF document on my iPad using the Adobe Reader for IOS. How can upload this changed document to Dropbox so I have it available on my other devices. Any suggestions are most welcome.
Cheers
Ossi

Hi Ossi64,
You can send this pdf back to Dropbox by pressing the share button. This is what it looks like on an iPhone, but it is the same on an iPad:

Is it possible to view "Attach File" annotations in Adobe Reader for iPhone 5s?

Most of my annotations transfer well from Adobe Reader XI to Reader for iOS but "Attach File" annotations don't seem to carry over. I would like to be able to attach image and video files and have them function on an iOS device.
Versions:
iOS: 7.0.4
Adobe Reader iOS: 11.2.1
Adobe Reader Windows: XI 11.0.0
It would also be nice to have the same comment tracking functionality that exists in the desktop version. Knowing when and by whom each comment was made would be helpful in the field.

Thanks for your feedback. Adobe Reader for iOS does not support attaching of images and videos at the moment.
We have taken note of both your requests.

Suggestions for Adobe Reader for my tablet

I'm not sure if there's a better place to post this, so . . . in using Adobe Reader on my Nexus 7 tablet, I have a few suggestions for features:
It would be great if you could include a search function as you find on Adobe Reader for PC and (I assume) Apple. Not sure why this is not included in the tablet version.
When I open Adobe Reader on my tablet, it always defaults to the Recent Documents list. I would like it, if in the settings, you could have it default to open in the folder view; as it is, I have to go thru a few steps to get here which is a pain.
Regards, David

Also, it would help a lot to have a "fit to width" display option, as on the PC version. This would mean somewhat larger text (good) and a better fit to the 5:8 aspect ratio of most android devices.

Adobe Reader for Windows Phone without WVGA restriction needed

As a graphics designer for me it is important to use Adobe Reader on my Windows Phone 8 device, because of it's original developed engine compared to third party apps. This is important for vewieng my profesionally generated PDFs on my Windows notebook, tablet device and phone!
The Adobe Reader in the Wndows Phone Store (http://www.windowsphone.com/de-de/store/app/adobe-reader/bc4f319a-9a9a-df11-a490-00237de2d b9e?signin=true) is restrictes to WVGA, but all the actual devices use a higher resolution.
So, please support us Windows driven creatives with the whole range of your products!

How do i rotate a page in Adobe Reader for windows 8?

You can rotate a page in Adobe Reader XI (desktop app). None of the mobile version of Reader (i.e. Reader for iOS, Android, or Reader Touch for Windows 8) does not support page rotation yet.
