Disable RightClick on PDF in Browser using API methods ?

How to use adobe acrobat API method/events to capture function keydown effectively disabling rightclick menu in Reader in browser?
Question: can anyone illustrate how to disable menu right click ? ive seen methods/events in the acrobat api that look to capture the rightclick keydown event but I dont know how to call/implement a function to pull this off.
I read that one might use the notification AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks and do nothing inside the callback procedure to disable entire right click operation inside a Pdf. Sounds good but how?
The AVPageView has methods like AVPageViewKeyDownProc and that's registered using AVAppRegisterForPageViewKeyDown.
I'm getting this from http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9/Acrobat9_HTMLHelp/API_References/Acrobat _API_Reference/AV_Layer/
I found this on "How to Disable right click pop-up menu items" :
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441260
but I can't follow the posters own resolution which is to "We only need to use the notification AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks and do nothing inside the callback procedure to disable entire right click operation inside a Pdf."
While that sound correct - how would someone implement this? Can anyone show examples ?

Hi Dentaur,
I actually posted the resolution at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441260. However, can't share the source code here as its proprietory for the company I work for. On a high level I did the following to disable right clicks after opening a Pdf inside Acrobat via a plug-in.
1. Register a callback for the Right Click notification during plug-in initialization.
2. Simply return true from the callback.
3. Destroy the callback during plug-in destruction.

Trouble Setting "Display PDF in browser using" by MCX

I want to force the PDF viewer in Safari to Mac OS X v10.6 built-in Preview Application instead of Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4.0).
I found that unchecking "Display PDF in browser using:" in Acrobat's Preferences, sets the viewer in Safari to Preview. It seems unchecking this box modifies ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist. by creating the entry root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0.
With that in mind I tried creating a MCX setting in my OD to apply root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0. Witch resulted in a grayed out, but checked settings for "Display PDF in browser using:"
I was wondering if any one has successfully figured out how to set this setting?

Hi,
Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
To disable the plugin-
1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
5. Restart Safari
In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.

Can't uncheck 'display PDF in browser using' on mac

Reader 10.0.0
'display PDF in browser using' in the Internet preferences is stuck on to Adobe Reader. The checkbox is checked/disabled, and cannot be unchecked.
Also, viewing a PDF in the browser via FTP sticks the entire browser (hence my reason for noticing/disabling this plugin)
Had to remove the plugin file from file:///Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/ to remove.

You don't need JavaTV to write a web browser.
Whichever Java platform you're using with JavaTV should provide enough.

Datapump exp and imp using API method

Good Day All,
I want to know what is the best way of error handling of datapump export and Import using API. I need to implement in my current project as there lot of limitations and the only way to see the process worked is writing the code with error handling method using exceptions. I have seen some examples on the web but if there are practicle examples or good links with examples that will work sure way, I would like to know and explore. I have never used API method so I am not sure of it.
Thanks a lot for your time.

I wrote the procedure with error handling but it does not out put any information of the statuses while kicking off the expdp process. I have put dbms_output.put_line as per oracle docs example but it doesnt display any messages, just kicks off and created dumpfiles. As a happy path its ok but I need to track if something goes wrong. I even stated set serveroutput on sqlplus. It doesnt even display if job started.

Open pdf in browser using xfdf from asp

I am attempting to open and fill with data a form created with Acrobat Pro 8. I have created a test form with 2 fields and exported to an xfdf file. I used the xfdf file to create an asp page that is supposed to open the form, filling the fields with the data specified in the xfdf. When I open the asp page in my browser, Acrobat opens (not the IE plugin), with an error message that it cannot open the file. It is either damaged or is not a supported file type. I will include the xfdf file below and my asp page. My question is, should this work? And if so, what am I missing? If not, what format file/content-type do I need to use this method - FDF? Thanks in advance for any help. My test machine is XP and IIS - Acrobat is 8 pro - ASP is vbscript The original xfdf file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"> <fields> <field name="Address"> <value>23 Ridge Ave</value> </field><field name="Name"> <value>Bob Smith</value> </field> </fields> <ids original="68ECBEB4D7F1984F9136D032C2F70874" modified="6A4B97BDCEF94142B2FC6D8C9A79EE53"/> <f href="Document.pdf"/> </xfdf> My asp file: <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%> <% Response.Buffer = true Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xfdf" Response.Write "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>" Response.Write "<xfdf xmlns=""http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/"" xml:space=""preserve"">" Response.Write "<fields>" Response.Write "<field name=""Address"">" Response.Write "<value>23 Ridge Ave</value>" Response.Write "</field><field name=""Name"">" Response.Write "<value>Bob Smith</value>" Response.Write "</field>" Response.Write "</fields>" Response.Write "<ids original=""68ECBEB4D7F1984F9136D032C2F70874"" modified=""6A4B97BDCEF94142B2FC6D8C9A79EE53""/>" Response.Write "<f href=""http://localhost/state/document.pdf""/>" Response.Write "</xfdf>" Response.Flush Response.End %>

Opening PDF in browser using Adobe API - with mark up and comment features

Hey,
Here is the scenario :   Firstly, the user has to review the file (say pdf) before approving it. I would like to open the pdf file in the browser directly for reviewing. Also, I want to add some mark up (sticky notes, etc) and comment features while reviewing. Using these features, the user can pin point the mistakes directly in the file and revert the file for changes if any.
And as part of implementation, I would like to use Adobe java API to do the same. But I couldn't find any code snippets for using this API.
Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This forum is only for discussions on the forums themselves. I would suggest that you start from the Acrobat forum,

Enabling/disabling the 'display PDF in browser' via a script after Reader 9 is installed

So we have Reader 9 already installed on the machine, but we need a simple way that a user can click on a shortcut in the start menu to reconfigure how the PDF is opened - either from within the browser or outside of the brower.
In Reader 7, I was able to use this:
msiexec.exe /i {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A71000000002} Remove=ReaderBrowserIntegration /norestart /qb-!
msiexec.exe /i {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A71000000002} ADDLOCAL=ReaderBrowserIntegration /norestart /qb-!
which works well after the fact that Reader 7 is installed on the machine.
For Reader 9, things have changed, and have tried this:
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi /qn DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION=YES
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi /qn DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION=NO
The above don't work, nor if I run a repair instead of an install. I also tried to modify the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals\bBrowserIntegration then following in up with the appropriate msiexec command and that didn't work
No, asking users to go to the options and enable/disable the setting isn't ideal unfortunately as it requires too many clicks
Anybody have any suggestions on this?

Pdf document browsing using adobe flex

how can I have a panel that showing pdf doument using adobe flex 3

Flash player do not have the necessary libraries to display PDF. But AIR runtime does ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=PDF_1.html ).
Not a good solution, but somehow you need to convert the PDF to an SWF to be able to load it into a Flex panel.
Iframe trick ( http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/ ) can also be applied here.

How do I un-check the box "Display PDF in browser" using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.0.0)?

It is faded out and not allowing me the option.

First of all, update your Acrobat to the latest version available for 9.
Then, if you have Windows 8 it might still not be enough, as the two are
not compatible.

Generate CSR using API method??

Hi all ,
I have this piece of code below using JDK 1.3 and BouncyCastel Provider
//some other import ... i am using bouncyCastle Provider
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import org.bouncycastle.jce.PKCS10CertificationRequest;
import org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.X509Name;

ks.load(new FileInputStream("test.keystore"),"one1234".toCharArray());
Enumeration e = ks.aliases();
X509Certificate c=null;
while(e.hasMoreElements())
String alias = e.nextElement().toString();
if(ks.isKeyEntry(alias))
c = (X509Certificate) ks.getCertificate(alias);
break;
String subject = c.getSubjectDN().getName();
X509Name xname = new X509Name(subject);
PrivateKey priv = (PrivateKey) ks.getKey("mykey","one1234".toCharArray());
PublicKey pub = (PublicKey) c.getPublicKey();

wr.write("\n-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----\n");
wr.flush();
The coding Was OKAY and ran successfully...
The Problem is i want to get the same result as if i generate a csr using KEYTOOL utility...
BUT somehow i got different result , is it due because of signature algorithm or encoding??
Please help me ....
Thanks....

Unfortunately, I don't believe this can be done conveniently using the JCE providers from Sun. The dname components are actually kept in a self-signed certificate that is bound to the alias for the key. The KeyStore class lets you do this using the KeyStore.setKeyEntry methods, and perhaps also the KeyStore.setCertificateEntry method (caveat: I haven't actually tested this).
The difficulty lies in the need to generate a certificate: there's no API for this. keytool evidently implements some custom method to generate a certificate. You can try something similar, but I suspect it would be quite painful.
Possibly less painful is to use the bouncycastle provider. It contains classes and methods to generate certificates. See http://www.bouncycastle.org/docs/docs1.5/index.html and in particular the certificate generators at http://www.bouncycastle.org/docs/docs1.5/org/bouncycastle/x509/package-summary.html

Disable "Display PDF in browser" | Acrobat, Reader XI

I understand this is the suggested method of disabling the "Display PDF in browser" is http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html However we would like to know if there is an API or something we can simply remove from the workstation to disable "Display PDF in browser".
Where is and what's the name of the file IE loads for "Display PDF in browser"
Is there a Reg Key that we can modiefy to Disable "Display PDF in browser"?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
Ed

From the KB note: "Acrobat XI and Reader XI do not include a preference setting to open web-based PDFs. "
In other words, what you want is already the default. All of the major browsers have their own PDF viewer. Moreover, the old reg pref "disable browser integration" never worked across all browsers due to the number of browsers and the rate at which they were evolving. That pref is removed in 11.x products.
While I don't understand the question in your first bullet, the default browser behavior seems to be what you are looking for. Browser behavior should be configured with browser settings rather than Acrobat/Reader settings.

Open PDF Slow Problem and Edit Registry to Disable "Display PDF in Browser"

There is around 400 users who were installed Acrobat Reader 9. But it is found that they open our intranet pdf very slow due to NETBIOS problem. The alternative solution is to disable the browser integration feature.
But how can I set Group Policy or Windows Registry to disable the "Display PDF in browser" feature for all the users?

If your users use Internet explorer, you can disable the add-on. to disable the add-on you will need to know the version of IE they are using. the most commonly used scripts to do that are kixstart or .VBS scripts.
e-mail me if you need any help with the script

Disable 'open PDF in browser'

I've set a policy to disable this addon, but the PDF still open in the browser. Any ideas?
Also is there a registry key to disable instead? We are using IE11 as a browser.

Acrobat 9 "Display PDF in Browser" on IE7 crashes the browser

Hi,
Here's what is happening. My company purchased a few licenses for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9, and they were installed on some of the company laptops. These laptops are in a UAC controlled SOE environment, so the employees are restricted to do any updates/installations that requires rights. The Adobe Professional 9 was installed through SCCM advertisement, and the "Display PDF in Browser" option was enabled.We discovered that when we attempt to download any pdf files off the web, the browser would stop responding/hangs during the duration of the downloads (shown at the status bar of IE), and we can only kill off the process.
The current workaround is to disable the "Display PDF in Browser" and download the file directly. However, it came to some points where the pdf documents contains some dynamic links over https on the site is is residing. In which case, the pdf have to be open to view from the secured site for the dynamic link to works.
Previously with Adobe Reader 9, we face no such issue. Only after we installed Acrobat Professional 9, this issue surfaces.
We have tried uninstalling the Reader before installing the Acrobat to prevent any chances of conflicts, problem persisted.
Here are the versions of the software involved.
Adobe Reader v9.3
Adobe Acrobat Professional v9.0.0
Internet Explorer v7.0.6002.18005
I have looked through the forums for similar cases, unless I have missed the keywords, I do not see any similar cases.
Has anyone encountered similar issues? Would appreciate if you could share on what was done to circumvent this. Thank you!
Jiang.

Hi broger_1,
Thanks for your reply.
In regards to your query:
Is the problem seen with both Reader and Acrobat?
No, this is only seen when Acrobat is install. It is working fine when only Reader is installed.
What is your definition of a dynamic link? Post example.
At the moment, I cannot find a online example for reference. I will try to describe by example.
Let's say if I goes to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_1.pdf, and the "Display PDF in Browser" was already enabled.
The content of the broc_1.pdf contains a hyperlink that points to "../broc_2.html"
Our issue now is the we can only download the pdf file to a folder, say c:/pdfs/broc_1.pdf, so when we tried to access the dynamic link, it will tries to locate c:/pdfs/broc_2.html, which is non-existence. And direct access to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_2.html would not work for some reason (possibily session restriction, or something else).
What are your security settings? (is Enhanced Security enabled?)
This setting is currently disabled in the Acrobat Pro 9 preference. Should this stays as disabled?
This only happens when attempting to "download & display" any pdf files from the net, displaying of local pdf that is already downloaded is fine.
