CP4-SWF starts a Website by closing in a PDF-File

Hi,
I let run several SWF-Files in PDF's - works great, but by closing the file it's trying to open a website - and i don't now where to cancel this.
This happens only in Adobe Reader-Files.
I use CP 4 and Acrobat 9 ext.
Has anyone a idea?
Thanks a lot for any help.

Hi there
There's another thread running where the user is attempting to coax Captivate's Exit button to close a floating window from Acrobat Reader.
So where are you seeing this behavior?
* When you close the Captivate inside the PDF? (If so, how are you doing that?)
* When you close the PDF viewer showing the Captivate content
Chers... Rick

  • Can I hire someone to help me get started creating a javascript to manage my PDF files?

    I have  written quite a few programs in VBA and C+.  Although I have not programmed at all in Java, it seems very close to C.  I simply do not know what programming/debug  tool to use and how to get started.

    OK, Thank you very much for taking the time to look more closely at what I need to do.  Here is a pretty detailed description of what I need and again thank you for your consideration:
    Job Packages or “Work specifications” are received from our authority in 15-50 page PDF files. The work specifications typically have 4 to 10 different jobs in each PDF file.  Each job is several pages or more and is uniquely identified by a work number which is located on the top right corner of each page in the job. All the pages that belong to a specific job can be identified by the associated work number.
    Scope of what is needed:
    1. Each individual job in the Job package must be extracted (Based on its work number) and saved in a unique folder (which will already exist) with a unique name that matches the folder name.
    2. Each job extracted must be printed on a specific printer or emailed to an out of office recipient. Whether the extracted file is printed or emailed is based on the parent file the extracted file came from. In other words, I intend to run this app on several PDF files. As an example, these 4 files to start:
    Job Package Report – Hampton-Wmsbg – Email all files extracted to……
    Job Package Report - Norfolk-VA Bch, Daily – Print all files extracted to printer IP:....
    Job Package Report - Chesapeake-Chuckatuck Daily – Print all files extracted
    Job Package Report - North Carolina  – Email all files extracted to printer IP:...
    3. On each page, where the work number appears, ( Unless the work number is marked…as existing) the work number needs to be replaced by a unique number, using a Arial black number 10 font. This number will be available in the same lookup table where all work numbers are found. An example lookup table would be:
    Work # to find
    Work # to replace
    7639509
    CG143668_2807639509
    7639191
    CG143669_2507639191
    7639189
    CG143670_2207639189
    7638341
    CG143671_2107638341
    7635491
    CG143672_2807635491
    7632212
    JOB ALREADY EXISTS
    If the work number is marked as existing, as in job 7632212 in the table above, do not search and replace work numbers, simply go to step 4.
    4. In the Header or centered in the top of each page, using Arial Black number 16 font, the same unique “Work # to replace” number needs to be printed. If that work number is marked already exists; in the Header using the same font Print “JOB ALREADY EXISTS.”
    5 If a work number is not found in the work specification, the work number not found must be identified and listed in a table.
    6 Likewise, any pages that have not been identified in the work specification, after the work number list has been gone through once, and all associated pages extracted, must be extracted and given a name “ pages not found” and stored in a directory called “jobs not found”.
    Approach
    Of course many approaches to accomplishing this are available and up to the programmer the best to perform. Additionally, it is probable many steps can be combined.  For example, when searching for the work number to extract pages, the new work number can be replaced at the same time.
    The end goal is to have a VBA program, embedded in an Excel file, call a Java script to open the  Job Package file.  The PDF file name does not change and the file will always be located in a specific directory.

  • I've started having problems with downloading and opening PDF files.  Any hints?

    This started late yesterday and I've been unable to download or open or view any PDF files.  I've restarted my computer a few times, made sure Preview was open then when those things didn't work downloaded Adobe PDF reader and that didn't work either.  Any other ideas????

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    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.

  • Safari is closed when opening pdf. files

    My IMac can’t open pdf.files when I try to open them from Safari. I have installed Adobe Reader, but I only get a black page and after 30 seconds the Internet connection is cancelled. I get the following message: “Safari was unexpected closed. The problem could be Updating Plugin-modul.”
    (I can open pdf saved on my IMac.)

    Hi Mikael,
    It sounds like the Adobe PDF plugin is acting up.
    Remove this file to allow Safari to load the PDFs natively (it doesn't need a plugin to display PDFs):
    Hard drive > Library > Internet Plug-Ins > AdobePDFViewer.plugin

  • Why cant I open any pdf file from websites? I can open pdf files that I have downloaded.

    When I try to open any pdf file that is on a website I can not open it. I have no problems with any pdf file that I have downloaded. I have Adobe X...... my OS is Windows 7 and I have upgraded to Firefox 4

    What happens when you try? Have you saved to your computer and then tried to open it?

  • What happens (or can happen) when connecting to a website from a pdf file?

    (Part of this post was copied from a question I posted earlier, to which I received two correct answers)
    I'm working with WIndows 7 Home Edition. I downloaded a pattern in pdf. One of the first times I had the document open, I saw a little message, asking me to allow the document with the website it came from. At that time I didn't want that to happen so I answered 'do not allow' (or words to that effect).
    I'm working with Windows 7 HE, Adobe Reader v.10.1.1
    I have now changed my 'do not allow' to 'allow' so the pdf file can connect with the website I downloaded it from.  But I'm curious: what is or could be the purpose of that connection? Anything I have to be worried about? And from whom does that request come? The Adobe pdf file, or the website where I downloaded it from?
    THanks!
    Ciske.

    "There are a number of things within a PDF file that can request data from a webserver, or post data back to one, but they can only be triggered by the PDF file - not the server.
    A form can submit completed fields to the server, and read a response message (e.g. to confirm the data is correct) 
    A rich media annotation (Flash, video or audio) can download content from the server instead of embedding it in the file 
    Scripts within a specially-written PDF file can communicate with a server using protocols such as SOAP, to retrieve data (e.g. to look up information in a remote database)
    There's no immediately-obvious way to tell exactly what information is being sent or received unless you inspect the PDF in some detail; but because of the security models used by Acrobat and Adobe Reader, files which communicate with a remote server cannot read or write data from your own computer without your interaction - so they cannot secretly upload files, passwords, etc."
    Thank you very much for your explanation.
    I understand the three points you explaned. It is just hard to apply them to the kind of pdf file I am referring to. But I don't know anything about adobe reader, and that may very well be the reason for my lack of understanding.
    The file is an explanation, a pattern of a craft project, with extensive drawings to help understanding the directions. The website has many patterns (all pdf files) of the very same kind available.
    I believe I understand your explanation, but again, it is hard to imagine why a simple pdf file like the one we're talking about would need to connect with the website it came from. But then again, I know NOTHING about pdf files.
    So, in my simple mind, I felt I had to deny permission to connect which I have now made possible again. It's annoying to see something like this happen and not have a CLUE what it is about
    Thank you again for your help.

  • I have downloaded several books into ibooks.  Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day.  Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book.  What can I do? Help please.

    I have downloaded several books into ibooks.  Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day.  Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book.  It does not give me the shelf to choose what book I want to read - goes directly to the first book. What can I do? Help please.

    There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

  • 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!

  •  Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

     Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

    1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
    2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
    3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
    4. Any of about a dozen other things.
    As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.

  • Macbook Pro starts by itself when closed.

    Hello everyone,
    I've faced some problem with my MBP (mid2012). It starts by itself when closed and in sleep mode.
    System is not booting, just black screen, loudly spinning fans and very hot macbook. It has no reaction on opening, touching keys or trackpad, so I used power button to shut it down.
    It happened two times and both times the laptop was in my backpack in sleep mode. Before closed, there were some heavy apps running (Photoshop, Illustrator).
    I'm afraid it can repeat when i won't be able to shut him down quickly and it will heat more

  • How do i start a website?

    hoping to start a website and wondering if iweb or ano is good, also looking for hosting

    iWeb will work with all of the web hosting services out there.  Even though it's been discontinued by Apple it will still work and is easy to learn to use.  There are 3rd party web design apps out there that you can use. You just need to download demos and try them out. Regarding iWeb read the following:
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, it shows only the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over

    Help........
    I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, when I start the program it only shows the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over - what have I done wrong

    Don't quite understand what you mean, but it says at the bottom that you are still using iWeb 08 so depending on what OSX you are running, you might consider upgrading to iWeb 09.  This works with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
    Apple no longer sells iWeb so if you decide to upgrade, then you'll need to purchase iWeb by going to Amazon and buying the iLife 09 or 11 boxed sets, both of which contain iWeb 09.
    Install this on your Mac and it might solve your problems, or just ditch iWeb and start again with one of the newer programmes out there that are still being supported and updated, such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4, WebAcapella 4 and EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

  • How to put Flash video game onto inDesign PDF file and Website page or link?!

    I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
    For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

    Flash should be able to publish an html page which will provide the web page code needed for embedding the swf.  The page it publishes should be sufficient for planting on a server unless you plan to dress it up with other content as well.
    As far as incorporating Flash content into a PDF using InDesign goes, you are best to ask questions about using InDesign in the InDesign forum.  Here is a link to the Overview page whee you can pick which forum applies best to your situation:

  • When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

    When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below 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 the letters “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.
    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.

  • When I try to access an active link from a website (usually a pdf file), the new tab opens and is labeled correctly; the word "done" appears at the bottom; but the page does not open or download. The same problem does not occur with Chrome.

    Example: on the home page of the website http://www.dot.ri.gov
    there is an active link entitled "Overview of all Iway changes - Fall 2010"
    Clicking on it exposes the following url:
    http://www.dot.ri.gov/documents/iway/Iway_Changes_Fall2010.pdf
    However, the tab remains blank, even though it says "Done" in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Google Chrome as a browser, I have no problem opening that url.
    This has occurred numerous times over the past several days on several different sites--and usually the link that will not open is a pdf file.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.
