Calling custom COM-based library from Acrobat/Reader javaScript

Hi All,
is ist possible to extend the javascript object model? For example, is it possible to call a custom COM-based library from Acrobat/Reader using javaScript. Or is their a diffrent way to call third part libs?
Thanks

I need a Reader Integration to a document management system (DMS). The user should interact from Reader GUI with the DMS.
Nobody is able to give me binding statement, if my customer (this company need plugin for internal use only) will get the Adobe Reader Integration Key License/digital certificate for such a Reader plugin and how high the costs will be. I wait and wait for Adobes’ Feedback :-(
For this reason I check a different solution with Javascript but I have no idea how to make calls to the DMS from Javascript. On other side are COM- or .Net-based libraries available.

Hi Shlomy,
Please check your IE settings on the machine with issue:
Click gear icon -> Internet Options -> Security, check if you have added your SharePoint sites to Trusted Sites or Local Intranet.
If that is the case, please click Custom level and scroll down to User Authentication, uncheck the option "Prompt for user name and password", then check the option "Automatic logon only in Intranet zone".
In addition, does the issue occur to any Office client application? Please test the issue via Word or Excel.

Copy your iTunes Library from your Old computer, or it’s Backup, to your New computer...
See Here for one way
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Or...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file, any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)
When can I expect a solution?

Of course not.

It can be that easy.

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

Printing from Acrobat Reader 9.1

I can not print from Acrobat Reader 9.1 to my HP printer connected wirelessly to my Mac. I can print fine from any other software on my Mac. Tips and suggestions are welcome!

I'm having the same issue. It all started after upgrading to 10.5.7 and Adobe Acrobat to 8.1.5.
I have an HP Photosmart C7280 and I am able to print via WiFi from all applications except Acrobat (version 8). However, Acrobat will print 1 page documents, but nothing longer.
At first I thought it was the 10.5.7 update. I saw in some other places that downloading and installing the combo update worked better for some folks. I did that, but still no joy.
I did the "Reset Printing System..." thing in system preferences and added the HP back. Still no joy.
I uninstalled and re-installed the HP software (drivers and all). Still no joy.
I uninstalled Acrobat and re-installed from CD so I was back to version 8.0. Still no joy.
I have not re-upgraded Acrobat to 8.1.5, but I don't have high hopes.
I wondering where the fix will come from. Hard to say that the problem is exclusively Adobe... made two changes to my system (OS upgrade and Acrobat upgrade). I have seen folks that dropped back to 10.5.6 and the problem persisted for them. I don't want to go back to 10.5.6 as I don't have that kind of time.
Printing from Preview for now.

PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

FIXED!
Priner Setup Utility/Reset Printing System
Then added priner again.
Interesting that the only issue was printing from Acrobat Reader and that this fixed it. Probably deleted and "rewrote" whatever file was at issue.

Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer. It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead. I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files. All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7. Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop. I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

Can't print from acrobat reader

I have a mac mini (2011) running lion. I have the latest version of Acrobat Reader installed. When viewing any pdf file, it works fine. However, if I click on the printer icon, nothing happens. Nothing goes to the print queue. Also, if I hit File>Print, the printer dialogue doesn't appear. Nothing happens at all.
I can print pdf files from Preview, just fine, so I know it's not a printer problem.
I've trashed and reinstalled Acrobat Reader, fixed permissions, rebooted and trashed the Adobe Application Support files from Library.
I'm stumped. I have to have Acrobat, as it's the only program that can open certain government forms. I can't "print as image" since I can't even get the printer dialogue to show up. I'm only having this issue on one machine, so I'm completely stumped.
HELP!

"IF" You are using, OSX.4.11 Try locating , downloading, installing AppleJack (there currently isn't a version for Leopard or Snow Leopard). The to Run Restart holding down the Command-S keys. This put you in Single User Mode (Raw UNIX).
when a screen full of print scrolls through and your left with a Blink Cursor, Type applejack.
simply follow directions. go by the numbers follow them in order they are given.
Now items 3&4 you have to do once for your system, and once for each User Account (name you gave computer when setting up example you gave name as John Smith name for user account would be johnsmith).
Once completed (1-5) hit return then choose Reboot or Shutdown.
In your case choose r and then hit return.
when it restarts wait, a whole bunch of cache files were dumped. You may even see the "dreaded "Blue screen for a little bit, and bits and piece of the desktop will appear until completely rebuilt.
After rebuilt Try printing.
If that doesn't work. Report back and maybe someone else can come up with an idea.

Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?

No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there. I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name. Now they appeared in Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location. I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer. I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer. So be it!
Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

Problem of spaces with copy-paste from Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0)

Hi all,
I have a problem when doing a copy-paste from a text in Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0). When I paste, all spaces are erased.
It does not come from the document as the problem is for every pdf.
Do someone have an idea of where the problem comes from ?
Thanks and cheers
Julien

This is not the forum for Reader, but the problem probably lies with the way the file was created, and/or with the fonts used in it.

Adobe Updater overloads data line while updating from Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 to 8.1.3

Hello
I'm from germany but I'm doing my best to get you understanding me.
I'm experiencing some problems updating Adobe Reader from version 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 in our company. Our users have no administrative rights on their PCs and therefore are not able to install any update manually. That's why I want to use the Adobe Updater.
We're also using a proxy which doesn't allow our users to download any *.exe files. I configured Adobe Updater to search for Adobe Reader updates once a month.
But then from time to time our data line was fully overloaded. When I checked the logfiles of our proxy I mentioned that Adobe Updater tried to reach ardownload.adobe.com for more than 1500 times in only 3 hours from only 1 PC. This means that nearly every 7 seconds ardownload.adobe.com has been contacted by one PC. When I deactivated Adobe Updater the problem was solved. So it seems to me, that Adobe Updater is the reason why our data line get's more and more loaded by this update function.
What is happing during the discovery of available updates and wherefore does Adobe Updater tries to download the same file for more than 1500 times? Does anyone have an answer to this? If you have any proposal to solve this problem I would be glad if you answer me. And let me add that I don't want to grant our users access for downloading .exe files :-)
Thanks so much
Macke

The latest release of the Adobe Updater has fixes for networking with proxy servers. If you aren't running the latest (because it can't connect), you can manually download and then install the Adobe Updater for Reader & Acrobat 8 from the URLs below.

Calling a native C Library, from C++ code -

Hi all! please bear with me as i am not sure if my question was specific enough but here goes nothing.
i have a native function that i set up in Java. i use JNI to create my C header file(stub) . all that is good and well but inside my C++ code i want to be able to call a separate C++ function that calls a separate C DLL(library). it seems to me that java shouldn't care about this but evidently it does. i can give you the code and see what you think instead of me trying to explain it all. I am using Linux and g++.
my first idea is that somehow java still needs to know about the C DLL but i dont understand why since i am not calling any functions from the C Library from Java, but rather in my C++ code. please look at the code below. thanks!
//THIS IS THE .java File *********************
public class HelloWorld
public native double getPopulation(double w, double x, double y, double z);
static
   System.loadLibrary("populationLib");
        public static void main(String[] args)
                HelloWorld hello = new HelloWorld();
                double value = hello.getPopulation(-89.3, 30.1, -89.6, 30.8);
                System.out.println("value returned is: " + value);
}now i perform javac HelloWorld.java which creates HelloWorld.class.
now i perform javah -jni HelloWorld which creates my HelloWorld.h C stub.
//THIS IS the HelloWorld.h C Stub*******************
/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
#include <shapefil.h> //*NOTE - i had to add this on my own for the C Library that i want to access
/* Header for class HelloWorld */
#ifndef _Included_HelloWorld

#ifdef __cplusplus

double setPopulation(double, double, double, double); //*NOTE - also i had to add this function because it is the separate C++ function that i mentioned at the beginning. this function will try to call the C library functions from shapefil.h.
#ifdef __cplusplus
#endif
#endif
//this is HelloWorld.cpp, my C++ code to match the C Stub that was created earlier***********
#include <iostream>
#include "HelloWorld.h"
using namespace std;
JNIEXPORT double JNICALL Java_HelloWorld_getPopulation(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jdouble w, jdouble x,
                                                                                  jdouble y, jdouble z)
jdouble pop;
pop = setPopulation(w, x, y, z);
return (jfloat)pop;
double setPopulation(double x1, double y1, double x2, double y2)
SHPHandle mySHPhandle = NULL;
DBFHandle myDBFhandle = NULL;
SHPObject *mySHPobject = NULL;
DBFFieldType stuff;
int field_count;
int record_count;
//**NOTE** - these 4 calls below access the functions in the object file that was created through the shapefile C library
mySHPhandle = SHPOpen("file1.shp", "rb");
myDBFhandle = DBFOpen("file2.dbf", "rb");
field_count = DBFGetFieldCount(myDBFhandle);
record_count = DBFGetRecordCount(myDBFhandle);
cout << "in set population: x1: " << x1 << " y1: " << y1 << " x2: " << x2 << " y2: " << y2 << endl;
return 10.0;
}now i need to compile and create the shared library for Java to use:
g++ -shared -I/include files needed -L/library files needed HelloWorld.cpp -o libpopulationLib.so
file successfully created.
now i must run Java against it to see if it runs:
$Java HelloWorld
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/user/work/iga/src/population/libpopulationLib.so: /home/user/work/iga/src/population/libpopulationLib.so: undefined symbol: SHPOpen
at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1751)

at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:823)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1030)
at HelloWorld.<clinit>(HelloWorld.java:35)
As you can see it cannot see the function SHPOpen from the external C library i needed to call. I am fairly new to Java and therefore really new to JNI but what surprises me is that Java even cares about or needs to know what i do outside of the original native function that i declared at the beginning.
In any event, what do i need to do to solve this?
thanks so much for your time and patience and help in advance..

Names a mangled in C++.
They are not mangled in C.
You can't mix C and C++ without dealing with that.
I don't see anything in your code that deals with that.
