Detect device where pdf is being viewed using adobe javascript

How can I detect whether a PDF file is being viewed in a Mobile device or PC? Is it possible through Adobe JavaScript API or something else?

Not really a Reader question but more of an advanced Javascript/HTML question.
Are you trying to serve up a different pdf depending on what they are using? Something else?

  • Is it allowed to convert pdf documents into rtf using Adobe SDK

    Hello
    Can I convert pdf document into rtf using Adobe SDK?
    Is available this functionality on c# code? Which assemblies i can use for it?

    which is why it has to be on the desktop and not a server.
    I didn't quite understand your statement. Could you, please, explain, why I can't use it only on the desktop and not a server? And, could you provide documentation, where I can find information about converting documents using c#?

  • PDF Portfolio on IPAD using Adobe X does not record notes and highlights

    Hello
    I have uploaded a PDF Portfolio and ADOBE Reader X to my IPAD and cannot highlight or annotate the documents. The pencil tool is greyed out. Is there a setting that I am forgetting to create?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Currently Adobe Reader on iOS does not allow annotations on documents that are part of a Portfolio, though this is something we would consider supporting in a future release.
    One way out is to extract the PDFs within the Portfolio (using Adobe Acrobat, for example) and individually editing them in Adobe Reader on iOS.
    Thanks,

  • How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0?

    How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat
    Capture 3.0?
    Our division is digitizing it's files, and we've been using
    Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (2). We've 'scanned-in' several hundred
    documents, but they have been saved as .pdf files (which are
    currently not 'searchable', as they are only scanned images).
    We just received the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 program, and
    we were told that we would be able to scan-in any new documents and
    save them both as .pdf and OCR documents (Optical Character
    Recognition). Therefore, we were told, we would be able to search
    through the body of the document, using OCR, and not just through
    the document filename, as we had been doing before.
    HOWEVER, we don't know how to use this new OCRing program.
    Also, we don't know how to convert the .pdf documents which we've
    already scanned into OCR recognizable documents.
    Is someone able to assist us here in this forum?
    Merci beaucoup / Shokran jazilan / Thank you very much!

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

    Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
    I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

    Your template contains an IE Conditional Comment that is adding 30px of top padding to  #sidebar1.  This padding may required in older versions of IE but not IE9.
    &lt;!--[if IE]>
    &lt;style type="text/css">
    /* place css fixes for all versions of IE in this conditional comment */
    .twoColFixRtHdr #sidebar1 { padding-top: 30px; }
    .twoColFixRtHdr #mainContent { zoom: 1; }
    /* the above proprietary zoom property gives IE the hasLayout it needs to avoid several bugs */
    </style>
    &lt;![endif]-->
    To fix it, change [if IE]  to [if lt IE 9]

  • Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

    Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?  I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

    I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
    A.   Deleting  Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
    B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
    C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
    Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
    Is this the ideal solution---NO.  Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
    Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
    You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

  • How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?

    How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?
    I want wherever the PDF opened automatically preferrence changed, default HAND TOOL remain selected. I want to do it using Adobe JavaScript.

    You are correct in that it's not functioning, however I do not have that option under the "online and adobe online" section in Adobe Customization Wizard XI.  I have the following boxes that can be checked:
    "Disable initiating shared reviews and data collection via distributed forms using Adobe online services (does not affect non Adobe online services reviews and forms).
    "Disable the Tools pane in Reader"
    "Disable file storage on Adobe online services"
    "Enable file storage even when all other services are disabled"

  • Pdf print and view using swing

    hello
    i am created one pdf file from original pdf file with data using itext library,but now my problem is how can view this file and print this pdf file using swing printing api

    but how to print?
    Note: Just because the PDF DocFlavor exists doesn't mean you can use it to print a PDF file. When you lookup the PrintService for the PDF flavor,it will report unsupported flavor. That means there is no print service for the flavor. Sun doesn't provide one for PDF files. To the best of my knowledge,nobody else makes one available either. Until such a time as someone does,you can't print PDF files using the new Print Service API.
    ??? is there another way to print a pdf-file directly from filesystem without using the command line like:
    C:\..\Acrobat 5.0\Reader>acrord32.exe/t test.pdf
    thanks for replys

  • Creating a PDF from an image using Adobe Reader 9.0

    Hi, I've converted a bitmap image to Adobe PDF using Adobe Reader 9.0. I was able to open and read the file but not to modify it. The resulting file ended up being password protected. I do not have a password. I am using Adobe Acrobat X. Can you help?

    I used an application called Bloomberg (feed with investment info) from where I was offered to convert an image into a PDF to save it. The laptop on that station is loaded with Acrobat Reader 9.0.

  • Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

    Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
    Please advice.

    Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
    There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
    Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
    Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
    Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB

  • Techniques needed for Automated (OLE) PDF Creation from Word using Adobe 9

    My client currently uses Adobe 5, PDF Writer, Word and OLE automation to generate PDF files.  This is done on a server. A queue of Word documents are read. A watermark is added via a VB Macro. Then, also via a macro (below) a pdf file version of the Word doc  is generated. The pdf file is generated as temp.pdf, which the program uniquely renames later. 
    Unfortunately, Adobe 5 and PDF Writer cannot handle Chinese characters and now needs to.  Seems like the process  above cannot be the same with Adobe 9. How should I approach this server driven, pdf file generation from Word docs with Adobe 9? This is a 24 x 7 ongoing, 100s of documents a day process. It isn’t clear to me that PDF Writer is still an option.  With Adobe 9 installed on a client, it is possible to save a Chinese character Word document using the Adobe ‘Convert to PDF’ toolbar button
    Sub WritePdfFile()
        Windows(1).Activate
        ActivePrinter = "Acrobat PDFWriter"
        Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _
            wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
            Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False
    End Sub

  • Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

    Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...
