Download and placing a remote pdf in an Illustrator Document.

I'm trying to make an Illustrator that while download a pdf from a remote url and then allow the user place this on the page.
I can download the pdf object no problem, but the PlacedItem needs a file handle.
Is this possible or is it restricted due to security reasons?

I managed to do it using CarlosCanto suggestion. Downloaded it as a content and saved that to a file. I was hoping to not do the step of saving it as a file, but it looks to me like due to the way Illustrator manages assets it needs an actual file.

I have a MacBook Pro and can't print pdf files or word documents using my HP Wireless Photosmart Printer. It will print files from the internet. Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Unable to download and open Adobe-Acrobat pdf

I received a tax form from a company that is an Adobe Acrobat pdf. I get the message:the form has an added extension. Adobe Reader no longer does extensions.
How can I download and view the page and print it for my CPA to use it with my tax preparation?

Hi Rae3700,
What version of Adobe Reader are you using?
Is the pdf, Reader extended?

Kicking off download and install Updates remotely

Hello,
I know that in Windows 2012 you can launch sconfig and then run "Download and Install Updates" which I have found to be an extremely useful tool. Can I launch this (or a similiar) command remotely? We have a patching system, however
I am not 100% confident in it. In the event that it failes I would like to be able to manually run Windows Update remotely on multiple servers, possibly a list from a .csv file.
Can this be down through powershell?
Thanks.

I haven't tried the approach of launching sconfig remotely to try and install updates, but use the Microsoft.Update.Session COM object frequently for update installations. My initial thought is that you wouldn't be able to do so remotely because the process
launched remotely would be a non-interactive process and sconfig is most likely using the microsoft.update.session COM object for the installations. Again, not tested but based on my experience with this type of thing.
The Microsoft.Update.Session COM Object (more specifically, the CreateUpdateInstaller() method) doesn't allow for installing updates remotely and this is by design.
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa386863(v=vs.85).aspx
It requires an interactive process and has checks internally to test for this. Even with PowerShell remoting, this
will fail. I imagine that you could still download the updates remotely, but installing is a different beast all together. You will have to look at using a scheduled job or PSExec to create a remote service that can then run the code as in interactive process.
I have written a tool called
PoshPAIG that can do a lot to help install updates remotely (uses psexec) but doesn't yet support downloading and installing updates (someone posted updated code on my codeplex site that does allow for this) that may
be useful to you.
If a UI isn't your thing, I also have
PowerShell approach available that you could use as well.

OCR and hidden text in PDF scans of historic documents

I need to edit the hidden text behind a scanned PDF image of a document. The image must remain as an “exact” copy of the original scanned document.
I used Acrobat Pro (versions 7 and 9) to make PDF images of old typed documents from the 1940’s. When I open those images and run OCR in version 9, then examine the hidden (invisible) text layer behind the image, there are errors. For example, the word “book” has been picked-up by the OCR as the word “look.” I need to change the “l” to a “b” in order to make the PDF accurate when it is searched at a later date.
I have checked many user forums. Most people imply that hidden text can be viewed, but NOT edited in Acrobat Pro 7 and 9. (Hidden text can be viewed in Version 9 by selecting “Document” “Examine Document” and then clicking on the “+” symbol next to “Hidden Text,” then clicking “Show preview.”) Some say to use Adobe Capture 3.0 to edit hidden text. Others say to use Photoshop or Illustrator to edit hidden text (I think these folks may have been confused, because Photoshop and Illustrator would be used, logically, to edit the image ON TOP OF the hidden text). Yet another person seemed to say that a hidden text editor was added to Acrobat 8, but was taken away in Acrobat 9. (I can’t verify that because I don’t have version 8.)
The closest answer I was able to find involved using the Text Touch Up Tool on top of the image to edit hidden text behind it, but when you do that you are typing “blind.” In other words, you highlight a spot on the image (top layer) where you THINK the error MIGHT be, and you type the correction without being able to see what you are typing over. Then, you go back to the “Examine Document” procedure (described above) to see if you “hit” your mark, and if not, you redo it until you do “hit” your mark. With the number of documents and corrections that we have, that procedure would be too labor intensive and thus a budget breaker.
If we have to buy more software, my preference would be to buy a genuine Adobe product because I have experienced problems in the past switching back and forth between Adobe products and other PDF manipulation software.
Can anyone answer any of these questions:
(1) Is there a way in Acrobat versions 7, 8 or 9 to edit hidden text, and if so, how?
(2) What Adobe software (other than Acrobat) will edit hidden text behind a PDF image?
(3) Assuming no Adobe product will edit hidden text behind a PDF image, is there any non-Adobe products that will do that?
Thank you!

Hi,
Unless you use Acrobat 8 Pro's Formatted Text & Graphics" or Acrobat 9 Pro's ClearScan you will find that there is no
practicable means of editing the OCR "hidden text" in a PDF.
The TouchUp text tool (Advanced Editing toolbar) is reliant upon the selected text having an available system font to use during touchup. However, both Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) OCR output is of text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) that is provided from within Acrobat and not any installed system or other application installed font.
With Searchable Image (Exact) you have the untouched image augmented by the invisible text which is provided as a user aid for search or find with Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The invisible text is not intended to support word processor like editing.
To your questions:
#1. There is no practicable way to edit invisible text (text rendering mode 3) with Acrobat (any past or current release).
#2. None.
#3. A good question. Perhaps a specialty program. Keep in mind, many products provide a promise but those those that actually deliver tend to be expensive.
Something to play with. Using Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended, try the Preflight Fixup to embed hidden text.
Then try using the TouchUp Text tool. You may also want to see if you can change the font type of this newly embedded font.
(use copies of the "real" files - just in case <g>).
Be well...

Import multipage pdf in an Illustrator document

Hello,
Does a script exist to import multipages pdf document in an illustrator document ?
I usually use InDesign to import multipage document with the script named "pdf import".
The goal of the manipulation is to outline fonts, or resize the different boxes (Trim box for exemple).
An other question : can we import a ".jsx" file made for InDesign into Illustrator ?
Thank you for your help.

Illustrator has a PDF open options object with allows for sizes height, width, boxes i.e. media art crop and page to open.
I have so far NOT tried scripting this but should NOT think its too much of a problem with the exception of knowing how
many time you need to loop to get all the pages in the PDF. The scripting guides contain a basic example too.

Placed an image in a new Illustrator document. Tried to change the Output Mode in the Output Dialog but could not select "Separations Mode".

Placed a DCS2 document image in a new Illustrator document.
Tried to change the Output Mode in the Output Dialog but could not select "Separations Mode".

I would check with the makers of ULTRASEPS.
I never heard of it, just checked their website, I don't think they support Illustrator:
What do I need to use UltraSeps?
UltraSeps requires Adobe Photoshop version CS2 or higher on Windows and Macintosh.
Its also 100% compatible with Photoshop Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud 2014.

Opening and editing other peoples .pdf's in Illustrator

I need to edit the wording of other people's .pdf's and heard that I can open .pdf's and edit them in either Illustrator or Photoshop. Is this true?
These are word heavy .pdf's so I'm trying to get all of the text and edit it as if it were a word document.

Hi,
I'm doing something similiar. I'm opening a pdf in illustrator, selecting all textframes and moving them to a different layer.
What you can do is to access the Document.TextFrames array.
Each TextFrame item has a contents property which is the text in the text frame. Then you can edit it to your hearts content.
This might be a late reply... 4 months after your question... but maybe it can help some one else out if you've fixed it.

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application).

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application). Any ideas on settings that might be causing this? It happens whether the application starts in IE11, Google Chrome or Firefox.
This happens whether the "client" signs in over the internet or directly to the local host server.
Thanks in advance

I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
== When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

Can I print web pages from firefox using adobe pro 9 (Not using PDF download) and if so how

Can I print web pages from Firefox 3.6.12 using adobe pro 9 (not using PDF Download) and if so how.

{Ctrl + P} - do you have a PDF Printer listed in the Printer - Name drop-down?

Firefox 5 is not able to download and open PDF files as Firefox 3.6 was able to. This looks like a bug to me. When will it be fixed?

There are many web sites that I visit to download statements that are in PDF format. In Firefox 3.6, when I selected a statement to download, Firefox opened a new window that indicated that the PDF is being downloaded. When the download is complete Firefox either opens the document or the document is opened outside of Firefox by Adobe Reader. In both Firefox 4 and 5, the PDF file download never occurs. This functionality has always worked in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. I currently use Adobe Reader X 10.1.0. I tried going back to Adobe Reader 9.4.5, but this did not make a difference. So I think the problem is in Firefox.

Help~how can I download and upload pdf file in simple solution

I am new doing Portal.
I want to create a page which can provide download pdf file function and other page which can provide upload pfg file function.
I created a link to download file, and implemented uploading files by access the file directory.
Can this solution work in Portal?
I've tried, but I couldn't access file directory through web_dav.
Anyone can give me some suggestion?

You can only install apps (programs) via the App Store app on your iPad, or by downloading them via iTunes store on your computer and then syncing them to your iPad - you can't download and install programs from the internet via a browser, they are not compatible with the iPad.

For some reason I cannot download and view PDFs from a website, It works in chrome, but not Firefox, please help.

When attempting to download a PDF, (detailed bill description) the download appears in the OS X download folder. When attempting to click on that file, a warning comes up that the file is empty.
When I switch browsers and navigate to the same page, (Chrome), the document downloads and I'm able to view the document.
I updated the browser to version 33.1, but that didn't help.

Do you have parental controls enabled on your computer or have other security software that might interfere?
