Displaying Javascript console when PDF embedded in web browser?

How do you debug Acrobat Javascript when running in the browser context (i.e. PDF is embedded in a web page via the object tag)? I can't get the console to display even when the script says console.show(). Is this possible? Given that the browser context allows different features I would say this is a very important feature to have.
Thanks

Thanks Dimitri. Does it have to be Acrobat rather than Adobe Reader?
I tried this with Adobe Reader open in the background. It doesn't support ctrl + J but I forced it to open the console by:
1) adding debugger.js to my Javascript folder
2) opening a PDF that had some document level Javascript that had console.show();
The console displayed but was not written to by the PDF in the browser.

How do I get the Adobe toolbar to display above a pdf in the web browser?

Hi guys,
I'm just having trouble with locating the grey toolbar, it's not displaying when I open a .pdf in a web browser.
I can open the .pdf fine, (within Safari), and usually (on my old computer) there was a grey toolbar above the .pdf & there's a print icon on it - that's what I'm looking for, so that I can print my lecture notes straight away.
The toolbar won't display on the web browser above the .pdf, but if I save the .pdf & open it with Adobe Reader, then the toolbar displays there with all of the icons etc.
So I was wanting to know if instead of saving them every time, if there's an option to get the toolbar displaying above .pdfs in Safari?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, iOS does not provide a way to install "plugins" to Safari so there is no possible way the Reader can do this. You can use the "open in" functionality to launch Reader from Safari.

Issue with opening pdf file from web browser

I have Acrobat Pro ver 6 and Adobe Reader 9.1 on a computer. when my user tries to open up a pdf from the web he is getting the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a WEb Browser. Adbe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
What also happens is that Acrobat Pro ver 6 opens up and nothing is there.
I am not sure why he is getting that message since Reader 9.1 is installed.
Can any one shed some light on this for me.
This user needs to have Acrobat and Reader on his system. I understand that there are issues with having both.
Also he has it set up so that any PDF is opening using the Reader 9.1.
Thanks,

Your PC's default reader configuration for embedded PDFs has become confused, due to multiple Adobe PDF document solutions installed on one PC.
Solution 1:
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Make sure that the correct Default data value is set for the path where Adobe Reader or Acrobat are installed.
The default installation values are:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
or
"C:\Program Files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (not sure about this path. Check on your PC to be sure)
depending on whether Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat is installed.
Solution 2:
Configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application.
If you are using Firefox to browse the web, you can change this setting in Firefox by going to:
Tools > Options
Click on the "Applications" Tab.
The first item in the list should be "Adobe Acrobat Document". Under the Action list, click the drop down arrow and select the application you want to read PDFs within the web browser. Click OK, and you should be done.
If you're using Internet Explorer to view PDFs, try the below steps.
After you configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application, the browser starts the helper application in a separate window and displays PDF files within that window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader both include a preference that lets you specify Acrobat or Adobe Reader as the helper application.
To configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application:
Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Choose Edit > Preferences.
Select Internet on the left.
Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.
Quit Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
The next time you select a link to a PDF file in the browser, a dialog box asks what you would like to do with the file. If you select Open It, the browser opens the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader (the helper application); if you select Save It To Disk, the browser saves the PDF file to your hard drive.

AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
I have trying to download some manuals from their website
and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
In your Adobe application(s), go to:
Edit > Preferences > Internet
Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
(There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

"Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7. This happens when trying to open a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008. If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally. If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected. I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome. Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat. Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

HOW TO HIDE MDI WINDOW INFORMS 9I WHEN THEY RUN IN WEB BROWSER

Hi. Will any body tell me how to hide the default MDI window title in Forms 9i when it run in Web Browser. I am using the "Look and feel" property as "Generic" in Formsweb.cfg file. I tried the RESIZE,POSITION,MINIMIZE,VISIBLE FALSE properties of SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY FUNCTION, But the horizontal Bar at the top displaying "Window" on it, is displayed. OR some time form is not displayed at all. So plz help me. This kindness of any one will be appriciated.
Regards
Inayat Qazi

Hi Inayat,
To remove the ORACLE icon, change the line "logo=" to "logo=x" in file formsweb.cfg.
I am not sure if it is possible to remove the standard-menu (horizontal bar with word Window, as you describe it), because as far as I know it is inheritance for the Windows OS. In other words, removing the standard menu can only be achieved if you run on another OS.
Kind regards.

Cannot use Adobe to view pdf in your web browser

Running Acrobat Standard 8 on a Windows 7 machine with 4 gig of memory. Upon installing Acrobat 8 on Windows 7 I get a pop-up window everytime I try to open a pdf in a web browser. Using IE8 and FF 3.5 both give me the same error.
"Cannot use Adobe Reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again. (attached)"
Thanks in advance
Darrell

I'm having the exact same problem. After clicking OK on the dialogue the pdf file loads just fine.
Checked the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe key - Acrobat is pointing to the right place. There are no references to acrord32.exe in the registry at all.
I've removed, reinstalled and installed all the latest patches, but nothing seems to help.

Reader X issues for PDFs embedded in web page

I've just upgraded to Reader X.
I subscribe to a private genealogy web site which has PDFs embedded in the pages.
I have two issues with this:
1. Some of the PDFs have links. Whenever a link is in the same place on the page as the floating toolbar, the toolbar obscures the link and I have to disable the toolbar to access the link. Very clumsy. It just makes me leave the menu bar in place instead, which devalues the cleaner look of version X over the earlier versions.
2. Where an embedded PDF has more than one page, it takes the focus of the PgUp key, PgDn key and mouse scrollwheel, even when the cursor is outside the bounds of the PDF. The page itself cannot be paginated or scrolled at all, I have to grab the side scrollbar and drag it up and down. This is not browser-specific and was not a problem with version 9 and earlier. I can't find any settings to change this function.

Disable the entry 'Display in Read Mode by default' in the preferences of Adobe Reader

Display PDF document in web browser

Hi,
I have a smartform which is being triggered from Web UI. I got the data and converted it to PDF format.
I need to display this PDF data in a web browser Pop up.
Please let me know how can I do that.
Thanks
Abhishek

Abhishek,
If you are using the business transaction types, you can setup a default "print" action which then when you click on the "print preview" in the webUI you will get an PDF output view of the print output.
If that doesn't work, then look at the business partner factsheet code delivered by SAP which will show how to display a PDF.
Look at component/view BP_HEAD/BPHEADOverview
Class CL_BP_HEAD_BPHEADOVERVIEW_IMPL
method IF_BSP_WD_TOOLBARR_CALLBACK~GET_BUTTONS
and this section of code
      IF lr_partner IS BOUND AND lv_enabled = abap_true.
        lr_partner->get_property_as_value( EXPORTING iv_attr_name = 'BP_GUID'"#EC NOTEXT
                                           IMPORTING ev_result    = lv_partner_guid ).

Menu toolbar icons not displayed in colour when deployed on the Web

Hello!
We are developing an application using Forms6i on Windows NT.
Our problem is that menu toolbar icons are not displayed in colour when the application is deployed on the Web using lookAndFeel = generic. This is the case both when using Microsoft IE5 and Netscape 4.5. When lookAndFeel = oracle, however, the icons are displayed in colour.
The icons are stored as *.gif files in the same directory as the application *.html file. It does not help to create a virtual path /web_icons/ in the www listener and edit the parameter default.icons.iconpath in the file Registry.dat.
When running the application as client/server, the menu toolbar icons are displayed in colour as expected.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Hi,
I got the same problem and I didn't figure out, how to solve this problem.
But did you try to printout the form anyway? I guess you will see the icons on the printout, won't you?

PDF embedded in web pages OS 3.0

I just noticed that now I can't scroll down in PDFs embedded in webpages as I could when I used OS 2.1.1
Back then I just scrolled down with two fingers, now that doesn't seem to work.
Someone else with this problem?

Yep. I tried before OS 3.0 instalation and all university pages whit PDF in a frame does not scroll anymore. This is a regress ( and i learned that very late)...

Disabling JavaScript when pdf is opened in browser

Is it possible to disable AcroJS when the pdfs are opened in browser?
The setting "Enable JavaScript" in Preferences/JavaScript seems to disable JS only for pdfs opened natively.
Thanks,
Radu

OK... I'm still puzzled. There seems to be something else that controls whether Acrobat JavaScript runs or not.
If I'm loading a pdf stream though a http GET, JavaScript in Acrobat is run even when the setting in Edit->Preferences is disabled.
<body>
<iframe height=600 width=400 src = "http://<some servlet that returns a pdf stream>" />
</body>
If I'm loading the pdf from a file...
<body>
<iframe height=600 width=400 src = "<pdf file path>" />
</body>
... the expected warning (that Adobe javascript is disabled) pops up
The http response in the first case is something like...
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
