Any way to force a PDF file to be opened in "fit to screen" mode?

Is it possible to force a PDF to open "fit to screen" -- overriding whatever the end user has set as his default viewing preference -- while still allowing said user to zoom in and otherwise modify their viewing mode, AFTER the document has been opened?
In other words, I'd just like to force the initial state on the reader... not limit them to it after the document has been opened.
The reason being that most screens today are widescreen, so when you open a LETTER-format PDF file, most of the time you only see the top half. I'd like to force a document to be seen "fit to screen" so as to see ALL of it when opened... then, the user can do what he/she wants with it (and subsequent pages).
Thanks.

Hope the information did the job. However, be aware that you might also tick off some users that do not like default settings others like. I would suggest you consider your reason to override the user setting is good before you do it. If you really want a full screen view, maybe a landscape mode might be preferred. In that case, I suspect users would not mind the forcing of a full page.
You can also force full screen viewing, but such is confusing to some folks that don't think of hitting the ESC key to get out.

Sending PDF files that will open exclusively in "full screen mode"

Flash has this capability with Projector's files. I wonder if Acrobat has the same capability. I've tried unsuccessfully.

If you embed a document script with the following code, the file will open in full-screen mode:
app.fs.isFullScreen = true;
However, the user will always be able to switch back to the regular viewing mode, and it will probably not work if the file is opened in a browser.
Also, it won't work if JavaScript is turned off.

You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
- start Acrobat 3D
- drag & drop a CAD file
- click on 3D Annot to activate
- right-click on 3D
- select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
- 3D Toolkit launches

Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email? So that the user can print it out.

Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email?
I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

Is there any way we can save PDF files of 1.8v & 1.9v to 1.4v using plug-in?

is there any way we can save PDF files of 1.8v & 1.9v to 1.4v using plug-in? (using PDDocSavePara )

Something like this.
Change VER variable to version number as you need. ex. VER = 7 -> PDF 1.7
pdoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);
PDDocSaveParams saveParams;
unsigned char buffer[sizeof(_t_PDDocSaveParams)];
saveParams = (PDDocSaveParams)buffer;
memset(saveParams, 0, sizeof(_t_PDDocSaveParams));
saveParams->fileSys = ASGetDefaultFileSys();
saveParams->major = 1;
saveParams->minor = VER; //change version here
saveParams->saveFlags = PDSaveFull | PDSaveCollectGarbage | PDSaveForceIncremental | PDSaveKeepModDate;
saveParams->size = sizeof (_t_PDDocSaveParams);
saveParams->saveFlags2 = PDSaveUncompressed;
PDDocSaveWithParams (pdoc, saveParams);

1. Go to adobe official site, click the "Support" tab on the top of the screen, click on "Adobe Reader," and then select the "I can't open a PDF document" statement underneath "Troubleshooting." The Support tab is located near the top of the screen as a white word against a black backdrop. After clicking Support, you will see the phrase "Product Support Centers" on a new page in bold white font, under which is "Adobe Reader." The new page after clicking "Adobe Reader" will have the word "Troubleshooting" underneath the phrase "Adobe Reader and Help Support." Underneath "Troubleshooting" is "I can't open a PDF document."
2. Follow the instructions on how to complete a general repair and installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader. To attempt the most basic PDF repair method, Open "Adobe Acrobat Reader" (select the program in your Start menu, which is on the bottom-left part of the screen), select "Help" from the gray tab menu at the top of Adobe Acrobat Reader, and click on "Repair Adobe Reader Installation."

Af:fileDownloadActionListener - any way to force new browser session?

Hi all
I'm using af:fileDownloadActionListener to download a file.
It works fine except for one thing:
For some file types it does not open a new browser session but just replaces the existing page content.
That's really ok by itself, but we have a problem if the users presses the browser Back Button to get back to the application.
As we're using partial page rendering and af:region this will result in an error:
Error 403--Forbidden
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.4 403 Forbidden
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable
So my question is: is there any way of forcing a new browser session to open when using af:fileDownloadActionListener?
We're using JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0.

Tove

On a large monitor, the bookmarks toolbar is opening outside of the Firefox window itself - is there any way to force it to stay inside?

Recently I installed Windows 7 on my computer, along with a device called a Triplehead2Go, which spoofs the operating system into thinking that the computer has one monitor attached (when it really has three). When the Firefox window is relatively small on the desktop and with excess space to the right, the bookmarks toolbar opens to the right (and extends outside of the window). This creates a problem for me, as the monitor bezels get in the way of navigation. When the Firefox window is all the way to the right of the desktop, the bookmarks toolbar opens inside of the window (as there is not enough space to the right for it).
Is there any way to force this menu to stay within its boundaries?

The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.

PDF files won't open with Adobe Reader.

When I double click on a PDF file Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds & then closes. The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

Hi,
I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

Is there any way to force time machine to keep retrying after disk i/o error?

a little background to my problem:
i've had a hard drive problem previously, and i managed get all the data off of my mac by trying and retrying to access the same files and also from my working time machine backup. after zeroing out and reformatting my drive and doing a clean install of Mavericks i had everything back up running no problems.
recently, my macbook pro would be stuck and slow in recently imported iphoto pics so i figured my hard drive is really failing this time around
i try to get a time machine backup to save what i can, but after a couple of tries time machine would just stop backing up and in console i would see a disk i/o error.
is there any way to force time machine to keep trying to backup through the disk i/o error so i can save what i can before getting a new drive?
edit: a little more info, i know i have a harddrive error from looking at the console, but when i do a verify disk in disk utility it comes up clean and even after doing a disk repair it comes up clean i still see disk i/o errors in the console.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Thee can also be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

Is there any way to merge multiple pdf into one?

Hi,
Is any there any way to convert different frame files into pdf and merge them into one programmatically using FDK11.
Like, for example,
a.fm, b.fm, c.fm to abc.pdf
Thanks,
Venkat

You got the point.
My actual requirement is to convert a Frame book to PDF. But for some reason the O/P PDF gets cropped out when i pass a Frame book as Input whereas it works good with Frame files.
Thanks,
Venkat

Is there any way to force Sun C++ Preprocessor preserve whitespace?

Hello!
I'm preprocessing simple source file:
void test()
int i;
}with command: CC -E test.cpp
and CC preprocessor eats all whitespace at the beginning of each line, like this:
void test()
int i;
}Is there any way to force CC preprocessor preserve whitespace?

You cannot use the C preprocessor on C++ code, for at least two major reasons.
1. The default -I options in CC are not the same as for cc. Try adding
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
to your example.
Even if you add the missing -I options, the conventions for finding the C++ standard headers are not known to the C preprocessor.
Example:
% cc -P -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/cc z.c
"z.c", line 2: cannot find include file: <cstdlib>
cc: acomp failed for z.c2. The predefined macros (-D options and predefined macros built into the compilers) are different for cc and CC.
In particular, the C compiler predefines macros saying it is a C compiler. The C++ compiler predefines macros saying it is a C++ compiler. Code that is conditionalized on whether it is compiled by the C or C++ compiler will give different results. If you add -D options for C++ macros, the results will depend on the way the tests are coded. That is, testing for a C compiler or a C++ compiler will not give mutually exclusive answers, as they would if you use the correct compiler. The Solaris headers have conditional code for C and C++.
