Difference between IE and acrobat in opening PDF

Hi, I have adobe acrobat 9 pro and if I open a PDF using acrobat, I have a bunch of toolbar functions like redaction, advanced editing and so on. However, if I open it using IE, which also uses acrobat, its toolbar provides limited functions. I only installed adobe acrobat version, and I uninstalled the acrobat reader 8.
Is it because that acrobat 9 provides the reader functions in IE acrobat activeX?
If so, is there any way to activate the functions in IE activeX?

Hi,
I have similar kind of situation and facing problem.
We have developed custom plugins which resides under Adobe/Acrobat/Plug_ins/<Directory>/MyPlugin.API. We have used Acrobat SDK to create this custom plug_in.
We have developed PDF viewer (using Acrobat SDK) which loads this plug_in and opens PDF file and this PDF Viewer we are using in our web site inside internet explorer.
We have web application which displays list of name of PDF documents like 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, 4.pdf.
Step (1) When user opens 1.pdf it will open PDF using our PDF viewer and custom plug in and working fine.
Step (2) Now if user opens another PDF (xyz.pdf) in other tab of internet explorer or in a different instance of a Internet Explorer it opens PDF but using IE PDF viewer ActiveX provided by Adobe under  Program Files/Common Files/Acdobe/Acrobat/ActiveX/AcroPDF.dll.
Step (3) Now if user goes back to our web site and opens another pdf like 3.pdf our custom plug in in stop working. It's like it has never been loaded.
This only happens if user perform Step (2) using IE. If user does not do Step (2) or open PDF out side of Internet explorer using Adobe Acrobat it will not create any problem because out side of IE it will open PDF using Acrobat Standard.
My question is ,
Is Acrobat PDF viewer ActiveX for IE is doing something which is causing this issue? I came to this conclusion because this only happens when user does step (2).
Thanks,
twinkle

  • What's the difference between this and Acrobat 7.0 Pro?

    I don't understand what the difference is between this product and Acrobat 7.0.5 Professional... I can view 3d enabled PDFs in 7.0.5 Pro.
    Is this tool a superset of Acrobat 7 Pro that facilitates creation of this 3D content?

    Actually, the Mac story is a bit more complicated than has been reported. The Acrobat 3D (authoring) product is currently available only on Windows. The new Adobe Reader 7.0.7, which contains the enhanced 3D viewing and collaboration features mentioned in the press releases, will be available simultaneously on Windows AND Mac. The Unix ports mentioned are only for capturing OpenGL streams from applications on Unix and creating PDFs from them, the entire functionality of Acrobat 3D is not currently available on Unix.
    I cannot comment on if and when a Mac version of the authoring tool (Acrobat 3D) would be released. Content produced on Windows, however, will be viewable on the Mac and can be collaborated on on the Mac exactly as on Windows, using the Adobe Reader. A lot of work was done on the Mac to make this happen.
    As far as OpenGL Capture, you can theoretically capture any output that displays using OpenGL on Windows or the Unix systems that Acrobat 3D supports. However, that said, we sometimes run into applications that do not capture properly. We tested with a number of important CAD applications so that we could make sure that capture worked from them, but we were, obviously, unable to test capture with all OpenGL applications. If you find one that does not work, please report it as a bug against the product.
    Hope this helps.

  • Differences between Preview and Acrobat Pdf for some files

    Good morning,
    My name is Roberto and I am from Venice (Italy).
    I'm a new Mac user (I need to use windows for my work because the softwares are only made for win).
    The problem (I think it is a problem of SL):
    I upgraded my MBP17 and iMac24 to SL.
    Last week I noticed that the file linked below showed a different color on the table background.
    The original background is orange (if you open the file with acrobat reader) while it is grey when you use Preview.
    Go to page 100 to see the differences.

    Thanks.

    Hi Seems a similar problem here too. Saving CMYK files in illustrator as pdf to mail to customers. A navy color in the file displays as grey in Preview Mail and Quicklook, but it prints correctly to our Xerox DC12 and opens fine in Acrobat with the same navy blue as viewed in illustrator CS4.
    We tried making the colour a spot not process same problem.
    We have tested this on an iMac with 10.6.1 with CS4 and a PowerMac with 10.6.1 with CS4. It seams to be in Snow Leopard only. The color displays on Leopard correctly in Preview, Mail and Quicklook.
    Is any one else having Preview colors displaying wrong?

  • Why are there print differences between Reader and Acrobat Pro

    I have a PDF file generated by InDesign (CS3). When I print the PDF from Reader (8.1.4) I get lighter text than when the same file is printed by Acrobat Pro (9.1.0). A close examination of the printed letters shows that the text printed from Reader is not solid black, while the text from Pro is solid black.
    Is this typical or is there something I need to do to improve the printing from Reader?

    I am a CADD Coord. (CADD Mgr)designer) I used to do a lot of design. Just recently we have noticed that anything printed from Adobe, the reader or the full version, is printing so lightly in many cases that it looks like it is missing data. whenever we create teh PDF from Autodesk products or Bluebeam Revue, it is the same. Bluebeam prints perfect. Yet the exact same file printed through Adobe is very, very light. Even printing as image it does this. And it appears at random. Some people print ok, but the exact same printer sent by someone else, using the same method, comes out too light in Adobe.
    I have contacted Autodesk and they have punted it back. Anyone have any answers or clues to fix? i send out deliverables for clients all the time and I hate to find out they print and miss something of the design.

  • Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

    Dear Adobe Support Team,
    I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
    it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
    installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
    So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
    Kind Regards,
    Vikraman.G

    Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
    If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
    Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

  • Different between Reader and Acrobat - Forcing URL's to load PDF's into IE

    I implemented an action button links in PDF form to connect to server.
    When open PDF form by Reader: Links is opened and processed by IE.
    When open PDF form by Acrobat: Links is auto opened and processed by Acrobat.
    I want to keep actions opened links by IE. Are there anyway that I can turn off auto open links by Acrobat when open PDF form by Acrobat?
    I want to force URL's to load PDF's into IE.
    Please help me resolve it. Thank a lot.

    Oh I have the same problem. My submit button send all input data on PDf Form to an asp.net web server. The web server process it and then response with a html data.
    - In case Acrobat Reader : a browser will be openned automatically to receive that html data.
    - In case Acrobat Pro : it opens a "download form" and process that html data
    It is too ridiculous but my project need to receive html data by browser(not by acrobat pro). We need it for doing something with javascript and DOM elements
    Is there any way to do this ? Please help me

  • Difference between InDesign and Photoshop PDFs for printing?

    Hi, rather new to the whole printing business, forgive me.
    I have both InDesign and Photoshop, but I am better versed in Photoshop. Is there a significant difference between the capabilities for saving a PDF for print between the two? Also, would someone else be able to tell which program I made the PDF with?
    Thanks in advance.

    Like most operations, one tool or the other is more appropriate according to the makeup of the task. It's not just about which PDF is somehow "better," (there are many ways to produce PDF's, and the quality of output isn't necessarily directly dependent upon the originating application), but rather which tool is the correct one for the job.
    For instance, a movie poster can certainly be done completely in Photoshop to good effect. But, if I was laying out the pages of a textbook, where images and longer passages of paragraph-based text were to be mixed, the typographical and document assembly capabilities of InDesign would be indispensible. That's just an example. The very essence of art and design is learning and devising ways to use the available tools alone and in combination to produce a particular result, effect, or solution.

  • Differences between standard and pro versions

    I was reading the comparision of these two Acrobat versions and for Pro it says:
    Edit and enhance photos to add to your PDF communications with Adobe Photoshop® CS5.
    Quickly transform static PowerPoint slides into compelling, interactive PDF presentations with Adobe Presenter       
    Rapidly combine screen recordings, narration, video, slides, and more into a rich media experience with Adobe Captivate® 5
    Does that mean that the Pro version includes Photoshop, Presenter and Captivate programs as well? Or, what are the differences? As an aside, the new look and feel of the Adobe website is confusing at best. Seems geared to being flashy, not useful.
    Regards, David

    Acrobat does not included those other packages. One of the pages that always struck me funny (maybe I have a twisted mind) but has this artistic background is the updates page. The background looks like a lacy bra to me. It is the first thing that comes to mind every time I see it. That is a problem with abstract images (that are typically unnecessary and waste bandwidth), that a lot is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, I have heard from many others that also see the bra.
    OK, back to Acrobat. There are several aspects of Acrobat that allow you to have links to the other products built in, but they are not included. The page at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html?promoid=JIJYS provides some info, but a lot is missing. For instance there are differences with PDF Optimize and Reduce File Size I think (sorry, I do not have Std to check). One important one that is part of pro is the preflight option. Apparently Std does not include portfolios or allow PDF comparison according to the chart.
    If you are into forms, then Std apparently will do them as AcroForms (my preference, partially because of familiarity), but does not include Designer if that was your preference. Some of the enabling for Reader is not available in Std. Also, Std does not allow embedding Flash. Std is limited for some of the products that include PDF Maker (not a big one for me, but might be important to you).
    That is a quick summary based on the chart. However, be aware there are some other features that the chart does not seem to cover. For the difference between Std and Pro, I would suggest getting Pro. The big hit is the initial cost of the product, not the step up to Pro. In a business plan consider the time that might be wasted trying to do some of the things in Pro that are not in Std. Those are the types of issues to consider. Many folks consider the cost to be large, and for a small business it is. However, in the long term it may be worth the cost.
    Keep in mind that many large CAD packages in engineering run about $30,000 for a single license, half the cost of the engineer that would use it. Some other tools are about $15,000. In that view, Acrobat is cheap (except for cheapskates like me).

  • Difference between 32 and 64 and why is 64 your preference

    Hi, can someone please explain the difference between 32 and 64 bit and why the 64 is a preference for some of you? I'm more concerned about peripherals and printers working with Vista Ultimate on 64bit, before purchasing and installing CS4 onto a new computer. Thank you.

    Bear in mind that to run 64 bit you need (a) a computer able to do
    this and (b) the 64-bit edition of Vista (not the normal one).
    Good things:
    * Can run 64-bit programs that use more than 2 GB (Photoshop CS4 will
    be one of these).
    * Can use more than 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM in total
    * Each program can use up to 2 GB (if available)
    * The excess is available for cacheing disk
    Bad things
    * Driver and software availability needs checking. Little things may
    not work (e.g. in Acrobat, PDF preview in icons). Or big things.
    * 64-bit applications will need 64-bit plug-ins
    * Less mainstream, overall support may be more limited if things don't
    work.
    * 64-bit programs are a little larger and use a little more RAM than
    their 32-bit equivalents.
    Myths
    * "64 bit programs will go faster than 32 bit programs". Myth, unless
    the program can make use of more than 2 GB of RAM.
    * "All programs will go faster in 64 bit Windows". Myth, unless the
    extra memory you can use reduces the amount of disk operation.

  • What is the difference between lap and oltp

    HI experts,  I want to know the difference between OLAP and OLTP and why OLTP cannot be used in bw instead of OLAP? Need realtime anwsers please!!!!!!!!!!

    hi navin...
    Online transactional processing (OLTP) is designed to efficiently process high volumes of transactions, instantly recording business events (such as a sales invoice payment) and reflecting changes as they occur.
    Online analytical processing (OLAP) is designed for analysis and decision support, allowing exploration of often hidden relationships in large amounts of data by providing unlimited views of multiple relationships at any cross-section of defined business dimensions.
    OLTP databases are typically input sources for data warehouses or data marts. The data warehouse in turn is the typical source of data for an OLAP database. The value in an OLAP database is that many complex calculations and predefined queries are preprocessed and results are stored and are available via an OLAP exploitation application allowing quick access to cross-sections of business data. Rapid access to the aggregate information across defined business dimensions allows quick navigation and understanding of relationships.
    The challenge is to find a solution that will both supply the necessary functionality while addressing the technical considerations of your organization. Some other important considerations include choosing technologies that can leverage existing investments in both hardware and software, and are open and integrated so that your applications are adaptable. This ensures flexibility and agility to meet future business demands.
    There are several different modeling techniques. Snowflake and star schemas are just two of many choices. Deciding the best approach for your situation will depend on several factors, most importantly understanding the business issue, the users and their information needs. There is a wealth of information available, including courses, texts and guidelines on this subject alone
    OLAP systems organize data in a multidimensional model that is suitable for decision support. OLAP is the analytical counterpart of OLTP, or Online Transactional Processing. SAP's BW is an OLAP system

    The big difference when designing for OLAP versus OLTP is rooted in the basics of how the tables are going to be used. I'll discuss OLTP versus OLAP in context to the design of dimensional data warehouses. However, keep in mind there are more architectural components that make up a mature, best practices data warehouse than just the dimensional data warehouse.
    Corporate Information Factory, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon, Claudia Imhoff, Ryan Sousa
    Building the Data Warehouse, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon
    With OLTP, the tables are designed to facilitate fast inserting, updating and deleting rows of information with each logical unit of work. The database design is highly normalized. Usually and at least to 3NF. Each logical unit of work in an online application will have a relatively small scope with regard to the number of tables that are referenced and/or updated. Also the online application itself handles the majority of the work for joining data to facilitate the screen functions. This means the user doesn't have to worry about traversing across large data relationship paths. A heavy dose of lookup/reference tables and much focus on referential integrity between foreign keys. The physical design of the database needs to take into considerations the need for inserting rows when deciding on physical space settings. A good book for getting a solid base understanding of modeling for OLTP is The Data Modeling Handbook: A Best-Practice Approach to Building Quality Data Models by Michael C. Reingruber, William W. Gregory.
    Example: Let's say we have a purchase oder management system. We need to be able to take orders for our customers, and we need to be able to sell many items on each order. We need to capture the store that sold the item, the customer that bought the item (and where we need to ship things and where to bill) and we need to make sure that we pull from the valid store_items to get the correct item number, description and price. Our OLTP data model will contain a CUSTOMER_MASTER, A CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_MASTER, A STORE_MASTER, AN ITEM_MASTER, AN ITEM_PRICE_MASTER, A PURCHASE_ORDER_MASTER AND A PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ITEM table. Then we might have a series of M:M relationships for example. An ITEM might have a different price for specific time periods for specific stores.
    With OLAP, the tables are designed to facilitate easy access to information. Today's OLAP tools make the job of developing a query very easy. However, you still want to minimize the extensiveness of the relational model in an OLAP application. Users don't have the wills and means to learn how to work through a complex maze of table relationships. So you'll design your tables with a high degree of denormalization. The most prevalent design scheme for OLAP is the Star-Schema, popularized by Ralph Kimball. The star schema has a FACT table that contains the elements of data that are used arithmatically (counting, summing, averaging, etc.) The FACT Table is surrounded by lookup tables called Dimensions. Each Dimension table provides a reference to those things that you want to analyze by. A good book to understand how to design OLAP solutions is The Data Warehouse Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Building Dimensional Data Warehouses by Ralph Kimball.
    Example: let's say we want to see some key measures about purchases. We want to know how many items and the sales amount that are purchased by what kind of customer across which stores. The FACT table will contain a column for Qty-purchased and Purchase Amount. The DIMENSION tables will include the ITEM_DESC (contains the item_id & Description), the CUSTOMER_TYPE, the STORE (Store_id & store name), and TIME (contains calendar information such as the date, the month_end_date, quarter_end_date, day_of_week, etc).

  • What is the difference between PUSH and FETCH

    I am a little confused. I use my iphone for both my personal POP email accounts and my business exchange account. I am trying to save as much battery as I can so I turned off push and set everything to manual...but now when I try and get may mail....it either says "connecting" or "checking for new mail" at the bottom of the screen and nothing happens from there.
    What is the best way to setup this situation for the most battery life? I don't need it to automatically download emails just when I open the email accout would be nice.
    I also noticed that when I delete an email from my iphone on my exchange account, it also deletes is on my desktop at work...I need to turn this off...is it possible?

    Hi maxum25,
    The difference between push and fetch is that:
    When using push, the server sends a signal to the iphone and lets it know that an email is coming its direction. Kind of like receiving a call. The iphone does not need to do anything except receive the email.
    When using fetch, the iphone has to wake up every so often and send a request to the server to see if there is any new email waiting for it on the server to download. This takes more time because the iphone sends a request, the server says yes there is some, the iphone says ok give me the new email.
    Now the exchange email uses active sync to keep all changes on the exchange server and mobile device in sync. This is automatic and is the nature of exchange and active sync. In order to keep this from happening you would need to talk to your IT dept. and see if they have an imap or pop alternative. Even using imap reflects the changes back to the server.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi ,
    Implicit Cursor means ,the cursors which are defined impplicitly.Here we use curosr variables as "SQL%found,sql%not found,sql%is open.."
    but explicit cursors defined by us like if u create a cursor C1 then
    c1%found,c1% not found ,c1%open

  • Difference between -1 and null in the targettype filed

    Hi
    Could anyone advise what is the difference between -1 and null in the targettype filed in marketing documents?
    For example, in Sales Quotation - Rows (QUT1) table, I found for some open sales quotations, the field is null however the DB help file suggest the default value is -1 so I suppose it should be -1 for open documents.
    Many thanks for your advisory.

    Hi, Qian!
    I investigated that "-1" value appears in targettype field in Sales Quotation Rows (QUT1 table) when you Dublicate a Sales Quotation document (Ctrl + D). And NULL value appears when you create a new document without dublicating.
    In case you want to equal these 2 "empty"-values using T-SQL, you can use ISNULL(targettype, -1) function - this will give you -1 for both the "empty"-values
    HTH!
