Adobe Reader X : Highlight File Format

Hi,
I'm missing in Adobe Reader X the Highlight-Server (Acrobat Highlight Server Plugin) which was available since many Years.
What can i do with Reader X to get this Feature back?
More Information about the HighlightFileFormat: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
You can look here for an example with highlighting my Name at
http://www.heise.de/home/kd/pdfhighlight/ct1005165.pdf#xml=http://www.heise.de/home/kd/pdf highlight/ct1005165.xml
If you use Adobe Reader 9, you have to enable "Enable search highlights from external highlight server" in "Preferences|Search" .

Oh thanks!
Using the "#search" Parameter is not a solution for big Document, when a
server has better Search Options, then simple PDF-Search in Adobe Reader.
That so bad, that Adobe has killed this Feature.

Download errors - defaulting to Adobe Reader regardless of file format.

Before this week, whenever I would download a file, a box would pop up asking me if I wanted to Open the file or Save It. In either case, a file would be found in my Download folder as expected. A week ago, I reluctantly added an old version of Office for Mac (2008) to my 2012 Mac mini (OSX 10.8.5) and since then, every file I try to download, no matter what the format, seems to default to Adobe Reader when I try to open the file. All the files have a .part extension and when I try to open them, an error message like this follows: "Adobe Reader could not open 'owUNL4ca.part' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). How do I fix this?

In the Finder, select a file of the type in question, then select
File ▹ Get Info
from the menu bar, or press the key combination command-I. In the General section of the Info dialog, select the application you want from the menu labeled Open with. If the application is not in the menu, it may not be able to open that kind of file, but if you know otherwise, select Other… Then click Change All… and close the dialog.

Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

hi
Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
thanks,
Asatamax

The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
(1) Open Adobe Reader
(2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
(3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
(response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

Highlight File Format and PDF Documents with Chinese and English characters

I'm a developer working on an application that makes use of the Highlight File Format / external highlight server capabilities of Adobe Reader.
The highlighting worked correctly until we started to introduce pdf documents that were scanned to recognize Chinese in addition to English.
The xml file seems to have the correct values in it. For example, if the 10 characters to highlight are at position 41 on the first page. The "xml" file has the <loc pg=0 pos=41 len=10>.
If the document is scanned for English only, it works fine. That is, the highlight starts at character 41. If the same document is scanned for Chinese and English, the highlight starts at character 22.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Do you know a solution?

Hi,
I don't know about BIP and the specifics of your context, but here are some general answers for the XLIFF format:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'utf-8'?>
Can we change encoding to 'ISO-8859-1' as soon as we convert the file format ?If you also save the file to ISO-8859-1 as well yes. But you can do this only for languages supported by Latin-1. It makes sense to keep the files in UTF-8.
A-2) he section <header><skl><internal-file> contains a huge string
which seeem to be binary ... What is this ? can we delete it ?That's likely to be the skeleton file. The data used to rebuild the original format after translation.
Most likely it should stay there.
A-3) Can we have one XLF file with muliple <file> sections (one per language to translate to ) ?
This can be very useful for us to manage one only translation file per report template.Yes but no: yves you can have several <file> elements in an XLIFF document, but no: they must be for the same language pair. XLIFF is designed to work with bi-lingual files, not multi-lingual files.
A-4) the most important section for translation is included in the <trans-unit> tag .
Each one has a distinct id like ""49e41f8f" ... Can we replace this by a more meaningfull value ?Those id attributes are used by the filter to merge back the data after translation. You should preserve them.
A-5) the language format is like "en-US" (language code + territory code).
Is it case sensitive ? No it is not case-sensitive (en-us == en-US). The values of xml:lang are not case sensitive (unlike other XML attribute values).
en-US is just the recommended notation.
The XLIFF specification are here:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/xliff-core.html
Hope this helps,

I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form. However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer. Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

Adobe Reader 9 highlights text when scrolling in terminal server

Running a terminal server with WIndow 2003. Have Adobe 9 Reader installed. When a pdf is opened, it will look correct. However, when one uses the scroll bar on the right to see more of the document, text can be highlighted and change colors constantly when scrolling.
Test it outside of terminal server and it works fine. This issue did not happen with other versions of Reader. I have attached two samples one clean and one highlighted.
Any help is appreciated

Very cool. Thanks for the info!

Okay. Here is what I found. These settings are changed\saved under the User settings in the registry. Here is the key the changes are made to:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Reader\9.0\Originals
When "NONE" is selected from Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Rendering, three DWORD values are added to the above mentioned registry key. These are:
Value Name - Value Data
*bAntialiasText - 0
benableDDR - 0
iAntialiasThreshold - 12*
I have added these lines to a login script that adds the necessary DWORD values to default the "Rendering" to NONE.
*reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V bAntialiasText /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V benableDDR /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V iAntialiasThreshold /T REG_DWORD /F /D 12*
Cheers!

Sorry, I don't understand this - you don't want Adobe [Reader] not to open when doing what? On what operating system?

Adobe Reader is downloading files to Numbers instead of to Quicken 2015 on my Mac

Adobe Reader is downloading files to Numbers instead of to Quicken 2015 on my Mac.

Actually, Adobe Reader cannot "download" files.
While Adobe Reader XI provides links to various Adobe hosted online subscription services it is the "service" that does any "download".
However, non of these "acrobat.com" services are related to Quicken or Numbers or other non-Adobe applications or services.
As "download" implies use of a browser perhaps the issue you have is related somehow to the browser you are using.
Be well...

When will Adobe support Nikon NRW file format?

Adobe guys and ladies,
Is there any information that you can add to the dialog shown below that will help me decide if the NRW format used by the Nikon P7000 P&S will be compatible with my >> 10,000 image Lightroom collection?
thanks,
WK
Customer 09/15/2010 11:13 AM
I now shoot topside and underwater (using an Ikelite housing) with a D300S. My work flow is to copy the nef files to Lightroom 3 (for Mac) as dng files for tweaking either in LR3 or occasionally in Photoshop. I'm presently considering a P&S such as the P7000 but I'm concerned that the proprietary nrw format will be a "deal killer". How do I convert nrw files to either raw, nef or dng but not tif? WK
Response 09/15/2010 10:25 PM
HI Thanks for the question. As with any new model software to convert RAW images will have to be updated for newer models. The Microsoft WIC compatible NRW should easily be read and converted by your software once they update for the newer model. Of course for the best conversion we'd recommend using Nikon Capture NX2. Thanks -David
Customer 09/16/2010 08:35 AM
Hi, The issue of file incompatibility is of great concern for many potential P7000 buyers. Let me ask the question a bit differently: Can the NRW format used by the P7000 camera be read directly (or converted to NEF or DNG formats) by available Mac software such as Aperture, iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom 3 or Adobe Photoshop 5? thanks, WK
Response 09/16/2010 08:35 AM
HI Thanks for the update. I'm sorry but you'd have to ask Adobe and Apple about their plans to support the P7000 images. I'd guess based on their support for other RAW format we've produced that they would but since it is their software they would be the ones who could answer. Sorry we can't help more. -David

That's a load of CR@P - please cease this continued misinformation.
Even in the earliest days when Nikon encrypted their white balance, it was decryptable via the Nikon SDK (without having to use the rendering feature as well...). Its just that Adobe wasn't using the SDK because the Nikon formats are all based on tif and as such are easy enough for Adobe to deal with without resorting to the SDK that they hadn't bothered. At that time, Thomas Knoll made some off-hand remarks that started a huge wave of misinformation that has been propagated on the internet ever since. In my opinion, he owes Nikon and the photography community an official public apology.
Nikon's purpose in controlling access to the information in NEFs was aimed at quality control, so idiots like me didn't start futzing with their camera data via plugins and fly-by-night applications and smearing Nikon's good name to people who didn't know enough not to blame things on Nikon. In the beginning, Nikon required approval before releasing their SDK to third party vendors. Now, it is available immediately to anyone willing to fill out a form on their website (and it includes complete documentation). Until you, or anybody else claiming this that or the other thing about the accessibility of information in Nikon's camera files, downloads the SDK and plays with it, to see for yourself, you don't know what you are talking about.
The fact that there was a delay between the release of the P6000 and its support in CaptureNX does not prove anything except Nikon was eager to release the camera, and followed up with changes to the SDK and/or CaptureNX after the fact.
I apologize if the tone of this post seems stern, but in my opinion, its time for the misinformation to stop, and the huge body of erroneous information on the internet to begin to be dismantled.
Note: I am not a Nikon defender. I just don't like to see people being unfair to them.
