Does anybody know something about
a java api that is able to display PDF - Documents?

There is free PDF viewer in Java -> http://www.pdfgo.com/
There is also Java version of Acrobat Reader - directly from Adobe.

Does Adobe provide a free API for creating PDF files

Does Adobe provide a free API (for Windows) for creating PDF files?   We are currently using
a basic, internally developed API for creating PDF files, but would like some additional
capabilities ... in particular the ability to add a watermark that appears when printing
but not when viewing PDF files on-line.
If this is not the right forum for this question, please let me know what forum would be
appropriate.
Thanks,
Mark

OK, with a little bit of searching on Adobe's web site, I found the answer to my question.   Yes, Adobe does offer
an API for creating/manipulating/reading PDF files: it's called the Adobe PDF Library SDK and it has to be
licensed. Version 9 is the latest.   The cost is decided on a case-by-case basis.    Here is the link:

Adobe reader does not work, what is best for viewing pdfs?

While using Safari, I keep encountering a message that in order to view a .pdf, I need to download Adobe Reader, accept the end user agreement, then relaunch. I have tried to do this many times and keep getting the above message. What program is best for viewing pdfs using Safari on an iMac

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Adjusting preferences in Preview for viewing pdfs

I would like to have the option to view the 1st page of my pdf next to the second page - not on its own (eg currently, for a 5 page document, mine only shows up as page 1, then p2+3, then P4+5. I would like it to show up at p1+2, then P3+4 then P5, etc. I know how to click between 1 page, and 2 pages and 2 pages continuous, but the 1st page is always on its own for all options.....I understand that in Adobe, you can set preferences for page set ups for viewing your pdf, which includes showig the 1st page with the next one:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd6151097941 95ff-7faf.w.html
However, the instruction for Apple is not working for me. My computer uses Preview and I do not see these options set out. I found another forum where this problem was discussed, but it was archived before being resolved and I am unable to find the new trail....
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
In Preview's View Menu there is PDF display.
The Two Pages option places two pages side by side.
However I have found it is not consistent with different PDFs.
(I also set the Preferences to 50% for PDF display)
Example
It seems to works once you are past the first page (Although I do have a 2 page document where it does not work).

Firefox will not use Adobe Reader for viewing PDFs

No matter how many times I am forced to manually browse the Adobe folder and select "Acrobat Reader 11" as my default application to handle PDF documents, Firefox never keeps that setting. In addition, Adobe Reader is never even a choice in the "Open with..." Browse button. When I try to let it use Adobe Acrobat (I have the CS6 Master Collection installed) with a rendered PDF, it doesn't even launch the application. I know those may be separate issues, but they are both equally frustrating PDF errors.

You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

Do you have any API for converting PDF to Excel?

Do you have any Adobe API or Adobe SDK for converting PDF files to Excel files?. If yes, can it be called through java code?

If it exists you will find it documented here: Adobe - Acrobat Developer Center | Adobe Developer Connection

Unable to turn on Advanced Search for viewing PDFs (v9.1) through IE7

Our company is currently using Acrobat 9.1 and Internet Explorer 7.
We have multiple PDF document sets set up to be searched using index files. The Index feature can only be accessed using the Advanced Search option of Acrobat Reader or Pro 9.1.
When we access the documents via our internal network, the advanced searching works fine. We can easily set the user's Acrobat Reader (or Writer) to have the Advanced Search option enabled.
However, if our users try to access these documents via our company's intranet web pages, the Acrobat Reader Interface plug-in (acropdf.dll?) of IE7 is fixed to only use the Basic Search option. Users are only able to search the active PDF. I have not found a way to enable the the Advanced Search option using the Adobe / IE7 interface.
Not that long ago, we thought this option was available.
Is there a way to turn this feature on or at least allow it to be enabled?
Thanks Much!

Hello,
This may be of interest to anyone whose had the Advanced Search Problem (or the mis-linking problem mentioned below) using the current Acrobat Plugin to IE7.
I think I have found a workaround for this problem (and another we've found). I've been having users test this out over the past couple of weeks and it's working fine.
Problem #1
Being unable to use index searching across multiple documents with the Acrobat Reader 9.1 plug-in interface running from within Internet Explorer version 7.0.    This current plug-in interface disallows setting up the Advanced Index Search feature that groups within our company use.
Problem #2
Links in PDF A are not properly linking to desired pages (link targets) in PDF B. Any links in PDF A will only take the user to Page 1 of PDF B. This occurs when any PDF links to a certain page (other than page 1) in another targeted PDF.
Solution:
Set the user's (many users in my case) Acrobat Reader (or Pro) to only open web based PDFs into the stand-alone Acrobat interface using the Accessibility Setup Assistant.
In Adobe Reader:
     Go to Document | Accessibility Setup Assistant.
     Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
     Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
     Select Done.
     Exit Adobe reader.
In Adobe Acrobat Pro:
     Go to Advanced | Accessibility | Setup Assistant ...
     Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
     Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
     Select Done.
Result:
Any PDFs embedded in a web page (environment) will open up in a new session of Acrobat (Reader or Pro) on the users desktop.
Searching via indexes works great and there are no linking problems between PDFs.
It may not be an optimal solution, but is working fine for our folks that access our files via our company's intranet.
The only drawback I see is that you lose focus of the IE7 session and have to work outside of it's containment. Although it is easy to set it back to the way it worked previously.
If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know. I'm open to any improvements we can make to our process.
Thanks!
Dave

Default setting for viewing pdf's

I am saving pdfs to be opened within an intranet site - the current default setting is 'Fit one Page to Window' what I'd like the default to be is 'Fit to window width and enable scrolling' - Can this default setting be changed?
The documents are created within MSExcel 2013 and saved as PDF.

Only with the paid Acrobat product or a 3rd party program.

Making Adobe Reader my default application for viewing PDF files.

Hello,
Can someone help me on this issue. I am trying to put adobe reader as the default pdf application instead of preview. I have tried everything...however when i download a pdf document it only provides me the choice to open with preview.
Thanks,

Control/click (or right click if you're using a two button mouse) on whatever file you're wanting to change the association to. In the menu that comes up select "Get Info" and another box will open. Down towards the bottom you should see Open with: and a drop down that has suggested apps. If it's in the list select it (if not navigate to it) and then once that file is associated with whatever app. right below you'll see Change All... and select it and now all those file types will open with whatever app you've selected.

Not able to view PDF in Safari 6.0.2

Hi,
Not able to view pdfs in my Safari 6.0.2. I get a black screen and the following message -The Adobe Acrobat/Reader selected for viewing PDF documents in browsers cannot be found at its installed location; it may have been moved or deleted. Please reinstall or repair the application. (16:9)
I am able to download and view the pdfs though. Hw do I solve the problem.
Thanks,

Reinstall the latest version of Adobe Reader - http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html - it will install the latest version of the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 11.0.01" and you'll be able to view any PDF file inline using Safari (Safari does have a 'built-in' PDF renderer that works for some files, but not for any AcroForms, etc.). And Preview is just about the worst PDF reader available - I would make sure that you set Adobe Reader to be your default application for viewing and interacting with PDF files.
Good luck - be sure and restart Safari after the plugin is intstalled. Call back should you have any problems.

HT2506 how do you set Preview as the default for opening pdf in browser?

How do I set the Preview application to be the default for viewing PDF's in while in Safari? Previously, while in Safari and clicking on links to PDF's, they would display with buttons on the bottom that made it simple to view and download the PDF. Since updating Adobe Reader it seems Reader is now the default application for viewing PDF's accessed from the internet. I haven't been able to figure out how to revert back to Preview.....

I did this and now Safari won't open the form at all.
I put the files back and it opens in Adobe.
When I save the files to desktop they open in Preview. But I am trying to read pdf's(? forms) while in Safari.
Adobe does not work smoothly in Safari and scrolling to read is a nightmare.
OS X 10.8.5
This problem came up within the last few months.
Before everything opened in Preview perfectly.

Best way to view PDF page(s) with in a custom program

What is the best approach for viewing PDF page(s) in a custom program? I know you can hook in Adobe PDF Viewer, but I need access to mouse clicks and location on the page. As well, I need to control the scale and zooming of the PDF page(s).
I'm not looking to change the PDF file, but rather draw over top of the page(s).
Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction,
Shayne

Actually, Ive already implemented an interface after throughly reading all the Acrobat documentation on Javascript within the PDFs. Its functional but not spectacular. It simply uses the setField function to get and set the values to the Field objects. It do this by posting messages to and from the web page that is hosting the PDF object.
I was wondering if there is a better way. It needs to stay a thin-client interface - nothing besides PDF Reader loaded on the workstations. I am currently investigating the several other methods but was hoping for some guidance.

"Viewing PDF After Exporting" is grayed out!

I am using Adobe Design Premium CS5 (specifically Adobe InDesign). When setting up a new PDF preset, I have selected for compatabilty Acrobat 8/9. The problem I am having is that the selection for "View PDF after Exporting" is grayed out. What can I do to get it usable?

Thank you for responding so quickly. The tech team here at school moved all my files and programs to another drive, in the process they lost all my preferences, PDF presets, and more. So I am trying from memory to reconstruct all the tweeking I have done in PHotoshop and InDesign over the last two years - and I am not doing so well. In the past I have had the ability to select "Viewing PDF after Exporting".
As for restoring the preferences - that is out of my league and will have to suggest that to the tech team.
