Drag and drop pdf files to Acrobat plug-in dialog

Hi guys,
I have an Acrobat plug-in application based on ASDK7 use MFC, it has a UI dialog could make user add files to the dialog.
Now, I need to implement drag and drop files to the dialog.
But the file is simply opened by Acrobat always when I drag&drop files.
Drag&drop works fine in simple MFC project in Windows 7.
Is there need any settings in Acrobat preference?
Or how can I stealing drag acceptance from Acrobat App class in code?
Thanks a lot!

But Acrobat 9 also cannot work on my Windows XP enviroment.
I also tried Acrobat 10 on Windows 7, not worked too.
Thanks for your concerns. Regarding "I would recommend that you submit a formal support case with our Developer Support folks.", what should I do?

I download firefox 5.0 and now I'm having trouble dragging and dropping PDF files into Google Docs and I can't view the PDF once uploaded. I had no problems with this in the previous verion of Firefox

With firefox 5.0 I can't drag and drop pdf files in the google docs screen. When I do eventually get a pdf file uploaded I can't view it. I get "no preview available". In my previous verion of firefox (4.something) I had no problems with this and I was able to drag and drop and after uploaded I could view the entire file.

Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Unable to insert or drag and drop PDF file into PowerPoint 2010

Hi all. I am trying to drag and drop a PDF file into a power point file (PowerPoint 2010). However, power point responded with the error "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You
may need to reinstall the server application". I also tried to use the Insert feature "Insert --> Object --> Choose from file", yet also getting this same error message. This is what I've tried:
a) I've tried to disabled the Adobe Protected Mode on Adobe Acrobat Reader 11, yet no luck.
b) Also tried on a machine got Adobe Reader 9 installed, still getting the same error message
c) Tried to register the OLE library, no luck
I haven't tried to re-install Office 2010. It looks like this is a Office 2010 issue, have any one of you encountered this issue and is there a solution for it? Drag and drop Excel and Word file into power point is working fine. Thank you.

I would suggest you try a complete re-install and see if issue persists.
I know I know, but you've already tried the Most Possible solutions (disable the protected mode/ register the OLE libray). It might worth trying a complete uninstall and re-install.

Drag and Drop Pdfs?

Hi, I used to be able to drag and drop pdfs into my iTouch via iTunes, but now it won't let me do that. Is there anyways I can do this?

The list of file types supported by drag-and-drop is the same as that supported by the "Create > PDF from file" menu inside Acrobat - for example on Acrobat X Pro Windows, the list is as follows:
3D files (U3D and PRC)
AutoCAD (dwg, dwt, dxf, dwf, dst)
Images (bmp, rle, dib, gif, emf, jpg, png, pcx, tiff)
JPEG2000 images with any file extension
Excel (xls, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb)
Powerpoint (ppt, pptx, pptm)
Word (doc, docx, rtf, docm)
MS Publisher (pub)
Postscript (eps, ps, prn)
XPS
Plain text
HTML
JDF (jdf, mjd)
Multimedia (flv, f4v, mp3, swf, any h.264-encoded video)
Word (.doc and .docx) files are supported, provided you have a copy of MS Office with the PDFMaker plugin installed to handle the conversion.
Files from Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, etc.) are not supported by Acrobat as they have their own dedicated methods to export to PDF.

How to drag and drop PDF into Word with Reader installed.

I am trying to drag and drop PDFs into MS Word. I have Reader installed. Every time I get the following error:
I notice in the Task Manager that AcroRd32.exe runs. I know I can do the long method...Insert Object, etc, but that's way too time consuming for multiple files.
What do I need to do so I can just drag and drop?
David

I want the inserted file to be an icon.
If only closing Reader were the simple answer. When I drag & drop, Reader starts up in the background (hidden), then closes on its own as well. Even if I have another PDF viewer installed and set as the default viewer, AcroRd32.exe still launches for the drag & drop process. The only way I have found to make it work is to remove Reader completely. I don't want this to be the solution.
Is there a reason Adobe has caused this behavior? With Reader 8 installed, I am able to drag & drop just fine. I don't understand why Adobe wants to alienate its users like this.
I appreciate that you're an MVP, but does Adobe have a response or solution?

Drag and Drop or file attachment in Adobe Forms Central

Is there a particular form or field type in Adobe Forms Central that would allow a user to "attach" or drag and drop a file to a form...say a blueprint?

Hi,
Yes. FormsCentral HTML forms support a File Attachment field. The following page provides an overview:

I am unable to drag and drop image files in a JAVA supposrted site. I have all the lastest versions of softwarte here - everything is up to date.

I am no longer able to drag and drop image files int this JAVA supported site. It had always worked flawlessly in the past.
I would open the site, go to Send Files, allow access, fill out the fields and then drag and drop my image files. Now I can only use the ADD (+) button to do so.
I have the latest versions of OS-X Lion and JAVA installed on my computer

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using

Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?
I open a PDF in preview.
I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.
Now it won;t let me?
Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?
Thanks!
Mike

Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or have any antivirus software installed?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally and try again.
If the above fails reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system. Repair disk permissions afterward.
Also, as a test, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there. If it does then it's a system wide issue. If not, it's an account issue.

Drag and drop several files

Hi,
I'm using iPhoto '11 (version 9.4.2) and when I try to drag and drop several files into a folder, it fails.
Actually it just does nothing: the drag and drop icon is created with the accurate numbre of items in a red star, the folder blinks but when I release the mouse, nothing happens.
It fails sometimes with 3 photos, sometimes with 30.
What's more puzzling is that it sometimes works: if I drag and drop of a single photo it always works. And I'm sometimes able to drop 10 or more photos.
I'm running on a macbook pro retina with lion (10.8.2).
Any idea of logs I could look at for some informations, some errors messages?
Thanks,
Laurent.

I guess it creates new photos, hence it modifies the timestamps whereas drag and drop does not.
There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export. However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.
