Displaying PDF in Flex/Flash

Is there a way to display a PDF document within a Flex
application without launching the Adobe Acrobat Reader? Just
thought...Adobe...PDF...

AFAIK, there is no PDF solution for Flash. Macromedia was a
recent acquisition by Adobe and I don't think they've had time to
integrate the technologies. Rumour has it that there'll be a
combined PDF/Flash viewer at some point, but who knows...

Hi ,
The solution for the thread is
<mx:HTML id="pdfHtml" location="test.html" width="100%" height="100%" />
var pdfFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(pdfHtml.location);
    pdfFile = new File(pdfFile.nativePath);
    var fileURL:String = pdfFile.url;
    pdfHtml.location = fileURL;

PDF with Flex/Flash not running on iPhone

Dear all
I have a pdf document including Flex content running perfectly in the Acrobat or Reader on Windows.
On the iPhone the Flex is not shown.
Is there any solution to this?
Many thanks

Flash has never been and never will be supported on the iPad. Furthermore, Adobe has withdrawn Flash support from other mobile devices so you're out of luck.

Is it possible to display a pdf document in flash?

I'm not that familiar with flex/flash but i was wondering if it's possible to display a native pdf document in flash. If so are any add-on's required or does flex/flash have that capability built in. Essentially I would be trying to create a pdf viewer in flex that allows users to markup documents and save them to the server for others to view. I'm just in the discovery phase of this project, so any guidance would be great.
Thanks!

Thank you very much for the reply, that's an interesting project.

Hello Mariush,
I have to display the content of the PDF in the flex application. If not PDF directly, is there other workaround for this. Or can I display the content of the MS word file, if not PDF.
Thanks and Regards

How to display Pdf file in iPad site

Hi
How to display Pdf file in web page which can able to view in iPad safari?
Thanks,
Arun

You can't really.
You need to use DHTML in the swf-wrapper HTML file, usually a
division wrapped iFrame, and load the PDF into the iFrame as an
overlay to the Flash.

Safari 6.0 will not display pdf's

When I upgraded to OS X mountain lion and did all of the updates that were required, I found that the new version of safari (6.0) would not display pdf documents in the browser..... here's how i resolved it.
Completely quit safari
Back up data
In Finder select GO > Go to Folder. or use key combo Shift-Command-G and enter the following: /Library/Internet Plug-ins then press return
(it's easier to view in list mode)
Delete the file called " AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin "
Restart Safari and delete the cache and try to view an online pdf.
I found it prudent to have the latest version of flash installed

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
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.

Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat XI

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

Even clicking on a link to a PDF file from a "pinned" site (which, according to Microsoft, isn't supposed to be able to run with add-ons) causes the PDF file to open in the browser.
I'm using IE10 on Windows 8 Pro x64. I remember reading that Microsoft integrated Adobe Flash into IE10...I think they did the same with Adobe Reader. I just found out that pinned sites in IE10 can be used to view Flash videos, so it would seem that I am correct. Does anyone else agree with me?

Displaying PDF content in Android Air app - how?

Hi, I'm fairly new to developing Air apps for mobile devices. I'm looking to have my app display PDF files and can't find a dfinitive way of doing it. I've read that using the StageWebView would be the way to do it.
Here's the relevant part of my code (PDF path changed):
if (StageWebView.isSupported)
currentState = "normal";
webView.stage = stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(20, 100, 450, 450);
webView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE,onURLChange);
webView.loadURL("http://path.to.my.pdf");
addEventListener(ViewNavigatorEvent.REMOVING,onRemove);
else {
currentState = "unsupported";
lblSupport.text = "StageWebView feature not supported";
Its working up until the point of actually displaying the PDF content, I get nothing (blank screen).
I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 / Air 2.6 and debugging on a Motorola Xoom tablet. Adobe Reader is installed on the device.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Solved.
For some reason I couldn't access the HTMLLoader object outside of the function that initialised it, despite the fact that I was listening for EVENT_COMPLETE.
Basically, to get round this bug, just put all the initialise and load code in the same function and you should be laughing.

Flash Islands Tutorial I - Confusion with Flex/Flash Builder Versions

Hi Guys,
i am new to the Adobe Flex/Flash Islands technology and tried to implement Tutorial I by Thomas Jung. Unfortunately i am confused by the various different versions for flex and the corresponding IDE's.
As far as i understood SAP at the moment only supports Flex versions up to version 3.3 for NetWeaver 7 EHP1. Furtheron the Adobe Charting Components (used in the Tutorial) seem to be part of the Flex Builder Professional Version only.
So i went to the Adobe Website and looked into the products and download areas. All i found was Flash Builder 4.5 Premium and the various Adobe and Open Source Flex SDK versions. I am using Flash Builder 4.5 as a trial right now. Unfortunately the Charting Components are not included.
So the question i have is whether the Charting Components (e.g. <mx:BarChart /> )are included in the non Trial version of Flash Builder 4.5 Premium or whether there is any possibility to get them as an Add-On. Or do i have to use Flex Builder 3 Professional (i found no information about this on the Adobe Website)?
Additional Hint:
I found out that when i compile the poject with Flex SDK vesion 3.6 or higher, the compiler knows the <mx:BarChart /> tag. Also in that case the view designer is working. However FlashIslands is only supported up to Flex SDK 3.3. But when i choose 3.3 the <mx:BarChart /> tag and some other related tags are unknown.
This is a really anoying issue.
Best Regards,
Dirk

HI Dirk,
wtith Web Dynpro, you can only use Flex SDK version 3.3 and downwards. You can download the SDK here [http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/DownloadFlex3]
Flash Builder ships with Flex SDK 4.5 which is not compatible with WDA flash islands.
As for the charts library, which Adobe referes to as the Data Visualization Component, it is also available as a separate download which can be unzipped into the same directory as the Flex SDK -- the library is available here [http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex3sdk]
I must say I am also confused, because as far I can tell data visualization component is not included in 3.3, but SAP makes no mention of this. Hopefully someone else can enlighten us on this issue?

PDF in Flex

Is it possible to display PDF's inside of Flex web app, NOT Air.
I know I can open a new window with JavaScript but I'm not allowed to do that.

Open PDF file in Flash CS5.0

Is there any way to open a PDF file in flash application using Action Script 3.0 ?

By open do you mean import or simply display?
You can use the StageWebView class to display a PDF if the user has a PDF viewer installed. It essentially punts the work off to the system browser to display it. You just tell the StageWebView instance to load the PDF directly. I do that on iPads and iPhones and it works great. Very smooth response and all the PDF controls intact.
Now if the user does not have a PDF viewer installed, that won't work.
