Auto Start A PDF Document

I have Acrobat 8. I'm relatively new at this so I don't know if it's even possible. I created a PDF document with an index on the first page with hyperlinks to the remaining pages as necessary. Is it possible to burn the document to a CD and have it auto start somehow to display the first page of the document? I somehow don't think so but can't be sure.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There are several links if you search on "cd autostart" that explain the process. I do not have a recommendation for a specific version and am always concerned about playing with an EXE that is downloaded. However, reading about the process may be useful to you to at least know where you are headed. I am sure that some of the others here may have a good recommendation for the specific software. Several of my conference CDs have an autostart.inf that sets the process in motion and calls an autostart.exe file (38kB). This file has an autostart.ini that gives the configuration information for the EXE file.
Some of the sites also include information about enabling the CD autostart for a MAC also.

Auto printing a PDF document without Print Dialog, in a web application

Hello,
We are developing a web application (target browsers: IE and Firefox). One of the requirement is to open a PDF document and print it without any user intervention(no print dialogs). Is there a way to achieve this? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Prasanth

Yes, if you install a special application folder level script with a trusted function on the end user's client computer. Adobe has made this feature only available under very specific conditions to prevent atomically printing without the end users knowledge of the print action or allowing it by adding a the special folder level file.

A solution for batch print PDF documents

Dear,
   I use a command line to auto print some PDF documents as below:
   C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t PDF_file_name printer_name
   the printing is no problem.
   But when I use the command line to print a large number of PDF files, there are a problem, for example:
   There are 3 PDFs that I want to print, they are 1.pdf, 2.pdf and 3.pdf
   I sent command one by one like below.
C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t 1.pdf printer_name
C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t 2.pdf printer_name
C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t 3.pdf printer_name
But the hard copy from the print are:
first print: 1.pdf
2nd print: 3.pdf
3rd print: 2.pdf
what can I do for this case, I want to get the output seq. will be 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf.
Thanks.

KingPool's snarky response notwithstanding (he appears to have some financial interest in “pushing” sales of PrimoPDF), your need is real and your observations do correspond to the reality of printing. The fact is that when you use spooling under Windows, the application program actually can complete spooling of the file to the printer before that spooled output is ready to be actually transmitted to the device. The print process is a multiple step, asynchronous process.
To absolutely force printing in an exact order as per your scenario, go to the printer's Properties and select the Advanced tab. The printer is probably currently set to Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster with either the Start printing immediately or the Start printing after last page is spooled option selected. Change that to the Print directly to the printer option and then press OK. This will force printing in the order that you specify. Note however, that this forces Reader to wait as the document is fully printed and then terminate. You should reset that spooling option when you are done with this batch printing operation to regain system performance.
Alternatively, another approach you could try would be to hold the particular print queue before running your commands. Then, after ascertaining that all the print jobs are on the queue and ready to be printed, release the queue. The jobs should print in the order queued. And finally, if there still is a mis-ordering of the jobs, after holding the entire queue, put a hold on all the jobs, release the printer queue, and then release the jobs in desired order.

Have you tried FOXIT? I think there is a trialversion. I tried Adobereader 2.5 but there is still no option to print.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

How can I download a .pdf document from a web link without Adobe Reader starting automatically and i

How can I download a .pdf document from a web link without Adobe Reader starting automatically and preempting the download?

That depends on your operating system and browser. On Windows, e.g. using Firefox, you right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'.

Adobe Reader 9.4 has started to open all my PDF documents continuously

Recently, every time I open Adobe Reader, or click on a PDF document on file to open it, Reader starts opening all PDF documents on file continuously until I get a message saying there are too many open documents to open any more. The only way out appears to be use of force quit.
Have I picked up some kind of virus, or is there just a setting that I need to change?

Oddly, it sort of sounds like app behavior under Mac OS X Lion. Lion has a feature called Resume that puts an app that is launched into the state it was in when it last quit. So, if certain documents were open when it last quit, those documents would "resume" (re-open automatically) the next time the app is launched.
Now, your profile info says you have a PowerPC iMac running Leopard (and you are posting the "iMac (PPC)" forum), so this should not apply. But maybe you are running Lion on a newer Mac and your profile info is old. Or maybe Adobe Reader has been updated to have a restore open documents feature. In that case, if you accidentally selected all in a folder full of many PDF files and opened them all, and then you quit Reader in that state, that "state" may have been saved for the next time you launched Reader. By closing each document manually, and then quitting Reader, you changed the state when last quit to having no open documents.
If this happens again (in any app), these commands may be useful to know:
There is usually a Close command under the File menu (in the Menu Bar). If you press the Option key, that command changes to Close All. So if an app unintentionally opens a very large number of windows (and it is not locked up as a result), you can give the Close All command instead of manually closing each window.
In Lion, if you press (and hold) the Shift key while launching an app, the app launches with a "clean slate" (ignoring the state when it last quit). I don't know if that would have worked in your case, but it would have been worth a try. Sorry I did not think of it before; I did not see the possible connection to the Resume feature.

How to Auto Check-in .pdf Files in a Document library(after Drag & Drop) - sharepoint 2013?

Hi,
Once I Drag and drop the .pdf documents in a document library files get
checked out automatically.
I want the files to be checked-in automatically once they are dragged and Dropped.
Please note : I am able to do the above things with .doc (world files) but not with the
.pdf files.
I have provided all the default values. Tried all the below options Still no success :-(

Create a version each time you edit a file in this document library ? No visioning
Require documents to be check out before they can be edited? No
Anyone Come across this issue.??
Regards,
Pavan.

I have set the default values from Column default value settings,
the default values are getting set to the columns but the file still in checked-out mode.
If I put the defult values to Library columns directly/Site column directly , Its working fine. - We found this work-around.
But still the issue Exists why its not working when I set Default values from Column default value settings
and try to drag and drop documents. :-(

Has anyone been able to use auto select printing on pdf documents?

Does anyone have a fix for being able to preset the printer trays to a specific paper size to allow for autoselect printing of pdf documents with multiple size pages? The mac printing options only allow for letter or legal with scaling. I need to be able to print large documents with both size pages. Windows environement can handle this with ease. I'm very surprised Apple cannot.

JSP to Generate PDF Document

Hi,
I am developing a jsp system that needs to generate a pdf document for every page before proceding to the next on the click of a button.
What i have now is itext but itext is a time taker! i have to literally code every page and extract values from my classes.
What i would like is if there was such an api that could auto generate the jsp page into pdf since all the values will be there when the user clicks to procede to the next page.
Would really appreciate help!!
Thanks,
Dev

Try to find out more about Filters usage.
It's a kind of wrapper that get executed when a user request a resources(page for instance) before the file(specified in form action) takes control, this is used to carry out common process to a group of pages without coding each piece of code in each page,
AND when a response is send back, this same Filter get control to include or modified current response to client.
I think that in order to parse the response and generate .pdf files(if the pdf for current page does not exist) you should write the html response in xml format. or at least you should use a component like JTidy that builds an XHTML-compliant page from a non-xhtml compliant page.
In Filter implementation you should parse the response and transform it using Formatting Object Processor such as FOP or XING, or anyother
Hope this help as starting point

What is involved in removing an image from a PDF document and inserting a new one?

Our form producing process is very typical:
(1) Start with a TIFF image, create a fresh PDF document.
(2) By adding items such as links and interactive fields, convert the read-only document into an interactive form.
Step (2) may take a lot of work, but fortunately when modifications are needed, it is always possible to edit the individual items. No need to redo the whole form from scratch.
There are some cases, however, in which we have invested a substantial amount of work in Step (2), but we need to modify the underlying image, removing it and replacing it with a new one. We obviously don't want to destroy all the work done in (2).
I envision the procedure as taking a rug from underneath a person and putting a new one.
What is involved in doing that? Can that be done at the JavaScript level? Are there commercial packages that can do that? Is the Acrobart SDK required?

Error while exporting to PDF document in OBIEE 11g

Hi
In OBIEE 11g we are facing an issue regarding exporting a few reports to pdf. It is resulting in following error: "Error generating PDF document".
The reports are placed on a dashboard which has a prompt too. However, when we remove the prompts, the export is working fine.
We will really appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like this is a sort of known bug with PDF creator in 11g. Try implementing the below solution:
To configure the Javahost service, edit the Javahost service configuration parameters in the
instanceconfig.xml file. The parameters are
identified by their relative path starting from the /WebConfig/ServerInstance node
For example:
<JavaHost>
<PDF>
<InputStreamLimitInKB>50000</InputStreamLimitInKB>
</PDF>
</JavaHost>
After changes restart Siebel Analytics Java Host and Siebel Analytics Web services
If it doesn't work try to create same report in xml publisher as presentations services in obiee has limited capacities in printing out reports.
Refer to this thread for related useful information: Error in creating a PDF
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
-Amith.

While reading PDF document using Speak Screen option, iBooks doesn't turn pages automatically

I have been using the speak screen option in iOS 8 to read books and pdf documents in iBooks app. iBooks app turned pages automatically and kept on reading the screen till i updated my phone to iOS8.3. Now, the app stops reading the screen once the page is completed. I have to stop my vehicle, unlock phone, open iBooks app, swipe down with two fingers. It's irritating.
Earlier, I have read dozens of books and pdf documents using this function while doing exercise or routine tasks. now it's not possible unless someone helps.
Thanks for your support in advance.
Mukesh

@Mukeshnnms
Unfortunately, I am having precisely the same issue since updating to iOS 8.3 with my iPhone 5s.
I just filled out a bug report here > https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, which I've often read on these forums is the best way to get some resolution. I don't know if you read the list of "fixes" for 8.3 or not (here: iOS 8.3), but, it includes the following:
"Fixes an issue in Speak Screen where speech will not start again after pausing"
So...apparently, in fixing THAT problem, they broke something else. At least for some of us...
<Note to self: WAIT even longer than usual to do updates, read about bugs first.>

Display PDF Documents Stored In Database

Hi
I apologise that this question has been asked many times, but I just do not seem to be able to find answer to my question in many other posts over the years.
We have pdf documents stored in database and wish for client to view from forms session.
I am able to use webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress to transfer to client and open using client_host('cmd /c start '||TheFile);
I am also able to view pdf documents stored on application server using web.show_document.
What I would prefer to do is:
1. Transfer file from database to application server (This is bit I cannot figure out)
2. Display from application server using web.show_document
3. Delete temporary file from application server (Also unsure how to do this)
Our users have thin clients and so in many cases do not have access or unsure where can access to store temporary file if use transfer to client method. Wish to keep temporary file activity on application server.

You can combine the methods in WEBUTIL. Check this Re: Forms 10G - Saving Blob on Application Server using Java.
