Embedd PDF viewer in VC++ application

Hello all,
I don't know if this is the right place for this question :-)
In the past, I used the activeX of acroreader 7 and 9 to embedd a pdf viewer into my vc++ application.
I was wondering if this is still possible with the Reader X version because I didn't find any ActiveX module any more and I was not able to fine any sample on the net.
Is there anybody who could give me a hint about that? I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you and have a nice day!!!!!
Marc

Do you have the Acrobat SDK? That has all the documentation on supported interfaces. It's very important to use the SDK and not rely on method discovery or samples.
Although it's the SDK for Acrobat a tiny proportion of the SDK also applies to the free Reader.
I recommend the Acrobat SDK forum if you have the SDK and the interfaces it described aren't found there.

PDF viewer in c++ application

Hallo,
I would like to display / print PDF documents in power++ application. (c++, no Visual Studio)
Is it even possible using activeX Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library?
After adding it I found that I can add AcroAXDoc component to myForm,
which after double clicking opens PDF in new window.
PDF reports are going to be dynamicly created by PowerBuilder web application.
Maybe there is other solutions?
regards
Peter

Windows Application - PDF Viewer

Hi,
We are using windows application PDF viewer with Acrobat API. The pdf document is loading correctly without issues but the Tool menu is not displayed.
How to include tool menu in wondows form (PDF Viewer).

There is no in-box PDF API on Windows Phone 8.1.
The typical approach is to launch the pdf file into the default PDF viewer app. If you want to display it inside your app you'll need to either find a 3rd party component or write your own.

I have tried to deploy the MSI with MST via GPO and Command Line with no luck. Every time i deploy via below methods, the same result occurs, all of the options are set correctly except the "Make Reader the default PDF viewer". I know how to manually set this option via Windows or Adobe interfaces but i am looking to roll this out to the masses and would not want a bunch of service desk calls because a user clicks on an Adobe PDF file and it is not opening in Adobe Reader.
GPO
Create New Package Use AcroRead.msi
Choose Advanced
Deployment Options - Click Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management.
Modifications - Select Transform file located in the folder of MSI
Command Line.
Tried these options to try and apply "Make Reader the default PDF viewer"
msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="<path>\TransformFile.mst"

msiexec /i "<path>\AcroRead.msi" IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read

Anyone know how to make this setting work with the Transform file, i sure would appreciate assistance on this issue.

How to add a hand tool (grab the page and drag) function on Chrome and firefox pdf viewer?

To clarify, hand tool is a function for user click on the pdf and dragging around , that is used to replace the scroll bar navigating .
The problem is, by default the Chrome and firefox pdf viewer do not have that function and I would like allow the user to drag the page.
A workaround is to use a jquery plugin (grab to pan https://github.com/Rob--W/grab-to-pan.js in my case) with an embed object (pdf viewer). When I maximum the size of the pdf and user drag the embed object.
The problem I have encounter is
1) When using chrome/ firefox, the pdf content do not fit to the page but auto resize by default even I have set the adobe pdf open parameter , using iframe.
2) The jquery seems conflict with the firefox pdf viewer, it works smoothly on Chrome but not firefox.
Here is the source code, you may download the plugin from the link mention above and have a look. Don't forget to put a '1.pdf' along with the source file. Thanks

How to make firefox open a URL in a PDF document which is loaded using Adobe PDF viewer in firefox to always in a new browser window ?

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF viewer.
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new firefox browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Firefox downloads PDF with wrong extension instead of opening a websites' PDF viewer

I have a problem with websites that want to provide their own PDF viewer. Instead of launching their viewer, Firefox wants to download the PDF. I'd be perfectly fine with that ***if it downloaded with the correct .pdf extension so that Preview would actually open the PDF***. But that's not what happens; I end up with something like "RetrieveDocument.aspx" or "Retrieve.srv".
I've tried resetting my download options (http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions). Didn't help.
I saw some stuff about other plugins I can install. Here's the thing: *this stuff works fine in Chrome and Safari*. Maybe websites aren't tagging their content correctly or something, but this stuff works fine in two other browsers.

Acrobat X Pro suddenly no Adobe PDF printer available within applications

I have been using X Pro for 2 months following installation of CS5.5 Premium. I used to be able to print-to-file using the Adobe PDF printer in the print dialog box from within apps such as Word and Finale. Suddenly that option is absent from my print dialog box in all apps.

Hi Bill,
I'm SO glad I tried your HELP suggestion first because un- and re-installing was going to be my next step and I dreaded it, and now, given the info you provide below, it appears it was a good thing I didn't do it. Thanks for the further information. I keep a log to refer to when gremlins like this pop up and this is going into it ASAP!!!

Great. We often hear of folks having uninstalled and reinstalled and problems not going away. The repair is the first line of defense if you have not been able to track down a problem. The last line is a reinstall. One of the problems with reinstalls is that folks do not clean up the system before the install. That clean up should include removal of all latent folder parts left by Acrobat and also running a registry cleaner (MS used to have one, but it is not longer available -- making CCleaner the typical cleanup). So if you have problems in the future, try to trouble shoot it and come to the forum if you need help. Sometimes, the repair is a quick fix, and lastly with no other answers do the reinstall--BUT with the cleanup along the way. Again, glad it worked for you.

E-mail Application not recognizing PDF Viewer on Pre

I am having trouble getting the e-mail application to open attached PDF files using the PDF viewer app. Any PDF file I attempt to open that was attached to an e-mail gives me an error message, "Cannot find an application which can open this file." I have taken the exact attached file from my PC, downloaded it to the PRE using a USB transfer, and am able to open it in PDF Viewer on the phone. I also tried to send myself a word document (.docx file), and was able to open and view that file through an E-mail attachment. I was previously able to open PDF files, and I assume I lost that functionality with the latest software update. I would appreciate any thoughts, or suggestions, as I am unsure if this is a software issue or something I can fix with some kind of settings. Thanks.
Palm Pre P100EWW webOS 1.3.1
E-mail is through Hotmail.com
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have the same problem with my PRE. However, I noticed that the viewer will open PDF documents produced by "Amyuni PDF converter". So, depending on which software is used, the PRE will open or not the PDF file. I have called Palm about this (in sept of 09) and they said they were looking into it. It would be nice indeed to have a PDF viewer which would open all PDFs.

Html display order : PDF document in AIR application

Hello.
I read
"The display order of a PDF file operates differently than other display objects in an AIR application. Although PDF content clips correctly according to HTML display order, it will always sit on top of content in the AIR application's display order."
I am concerned with the "PDF content clips correctly according to HTML display order" part. I would like to know what it exactly means. That is I want to be sure that I could put, for example, and image over the PDF doc, or any other HTML elements without them being graphically overridden by the PDF view. Thanks in advance.

My reading of the quoted bits is: Inside the PDF, layer ordering rules should work correctly. But the PDF itself will float above any other content in AIR.

PDF Viewer in SharePoint 2013

Hi everyone,
I have a document library containing multiple PDF files. When user clicks a document, the file opens in a pdf viewer installed in the local machine. But in our case, we want to open pdf files online in a browser for view only. Is there any webpart available
to open PDFs online?
Please share your experiences or suggest a workaround.
Thanks
-Ahmed Khan

Hi Ahmed,
Your web application's Browser File Handling setting has been set to "Strict". This setting when set to "Strict" will force the PDF file to download/open in the client application.
To open PDF file in a browser make the following changes:
Open your Central Admin 2013 > Application Management > Manage Web Application > Select your Web Application > Click on General Settings > Browser File Handling > Select "Permissive" > Click OK and you are
done.
Now Open your document library, click on Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Open Documents in the Browser > Tick the option "Open in Browser" > Click Ok. (This option is not required actually if you do the above for PDF files but
can be considered for Office Documents)
Now go back to your library and open any PDF file.

Adobe Standard 8 as default PDF viewer, except in websites

Hello
I am trying to get Adobe Standard 8 to deploy as the default application when dealing with PDFs, but have Adobe Reader X as the embedded PDF viewer in Internet Explorer.
I have been successful in getting both applications to install, and X be the default viewer in Internet Explorer, however I can't seem to get 8 to be the default PDF application for opening files on the desktop. I have played around with a number of different combinations of customization opens through the avaliable tools, but I can't seem to get it to land on the specific configuration I'm looking for.
Is there a "quick" registry fix I can apply to impliment this scenario?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
What you're trying to do is unsupported. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/874/cpsid_87424.html.
Only X and 9.x have that capability.

How to archive billing docs in PDF format on the application server?

Hi,
I want to archive billing docs in PDF format on the application server.
Formerly on our SAP system, Archivelink was set up to archive these documents to an HTTP content server. Since we no longer have this server, I want to adapt it to simply output the PDFs to a filesystem on the application server. I have tried to reconfigure the content repository (tcode OAC0) without success.
Am I on the right track?
If so, which document area, storage type, etc should I use?

Hi Slath,
from DMS point of view you may use the storage category 'DMS_C1_ST' and the content repository 'DMS_C1' as a kind of template. The document area for DMS storage categories has to be maintained as 'DMS'.
Best regards,
Christoph
