Embedding MS Accessibility controls into pdf document.

I have a pdf form running fine in a server with Adobe Proffesional 8.0, We need to update to Adobe Pro 9.0 or Adobe Pro 10. The app is not performing well in those higer versions of Adobe Pro because we need to capture data from a pop up window to name an output file, but the data can no be scraped from the pop up window. I heard that the problem can be circumvented by embedding MS Accessibility Controls into the form. Can sombody please help me understand what is "embedding MS Accessibility Controls into a pdf form"?
Thanks

We have the pdf rendered in a JVM in an Intranet. The pdf is displayed using Adobe Prod 8.0, when all the required data is captured from a phone interview, a button (click) triggers a WebService to execute and send a file to a Lenux Server.

Embedding of fonts into PDF document

Hello people!
I need to create a PDF document that has text in different fonts(Arial Black, Courier New, Lucida Sans etc.) and languages(English, German, Russian etc.).
What is the best way to do this? How can I embed a font into a PDF document?
I am reading a PDF Reference documantation, but I have not found a good example of font embedding...
I would be thankful for an example or link to documentation or any other information that will help me to solve this problem.

>I have not found any free library for creating PDF files so I'm writing my own..
I would like to recommend that, rather than spending weeks or months
on getting fonts to embed (this is HARD) you look harder at the
available library. There are now dozens, and some are free, some are
even open source. Quality varies, of course.
http://www.planetpdf.com/ has a very big list of PDF tools, including
developer tools.
If you want to continue, realise that at points in this task you will
hit things which suddenly seem to make the job ten times harder than
before. Embedding fonts is one. Far Eastern fonts ten times harder
still.
> (The only library I found(for C++) was PDFLib, but it is not free)
Do a fair comparison of your months of coding time versus licensing
time.
>Adobe PDF Library is not free too(As I understand it)
Indeed not. From what we understand licensing is by negotation,
royalty based and never less than tens of thousands of dollars.
Frankly, too, it's not an ideal library for PDF creation.
>
>Yes, you are right! But almost every PDF doc is coded... How can I decode it to watch its contents?
Write a decoder. You are sure to need one as part of debugging your
own code at some point.
> Is there an example of font embedding in the documentation?
No, but it's just an extra FontFile, FontFile2 and/or FontFile3 key in
the FontDescriptor: not very interesting in PDF terms.
The key part is that you have to read and understand the font file
formats as well as the PDF format, because in most cases you have to
parse and may have to rewrite the font data. So if you want to embed
TrueType fonts, now is the time to read the TrueType font
specification (at least in outline, down to the level of the
individual tables: you can ignore the stuff about outlines and
rendering).

How to embed audio clips into pdf document

Hello I have a two-hour lecture I've transcribed. There are about 20 paragraphs. I want to embed the audio of the lecture into the pdf document so that when the reader clicks on a paragraph or on a button/control near the paragraph the audio for that particular paragraph starts up. An ideal version of this would be in pdf format and would allow the reader to click anywhere in the pdf and have the audio start from that point. I've never embedded audio before. I also have InDesign, Lightroom and Photoshop and can use them to embed audio before exporting to pdf.

The exact process will depend on the version of Acrobat you have. In AA7, I just selected TOOLS>Advanced Editing>Sound Tool and added a sound file to the document. There were options for AA5 and AA6 compatibility as well as for embedding the sound file in the PDF.
When you select the sound file, it asks if you want to play the file or accept the file as trusted for future requests. The file then played just fine. When I added the link, I was given a box to use to surround the area of interest on the page. You can set the border color and such (like make it invisible, though that might confuse folks).
I am not sure what more you want. It is possible to add audio to open when you open the page also as well as set timing for the page. That would provide a way for the person to essentially have a lecture presented on your system without having to intervene. For the playing of the pages and timing, you may ahve to have the file open in full-screen, not sure.

Embedding Full-text Index into PDF File

Hello Everyone,
I've tried to create and embed full-text index into PDF file, but with no luck. I've followed steps described at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WSC28D4DBB-6A78-4027-9E04-F50FE411CFB9.w. html - there can be seen progress of collecting of data and at the end the button Update index is enabled. This is signal for me that Index was created. After clicking on Ok button, saving document as new one and then reopening "new created" document, there is info that no Index is embedded in the Manage Embedded Index dialog. Is there any other step necessary to do? Or is it bug? Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1 on Windows Vista 32bit is used.
Jan
PS: Interesting is also comment at the bottom of above mentioned help page...

Thanks for the response. It is true that if I make changes and look at the embedded index status, it shows that it needs updating
However the problem I can't get around after extensive testing is that sometimes for no apparent reason the index is dropped on save. This can happen if I check the status of the index to make sure it is valid, save the file, and reopen it.
I've concluded that this must be a bug and am using other indexing options for the time being.

Passing variable into pdf document

I have created a pdf document that I want to share with my marketing team. However, in the document I want the url to be dynamic and show that individual's url. For example, if my domain is www.xyz123abc.com In the pdf, I want to setup the url in the document as www.xyz123abc.com/REPSITE. Then when the pdf is opened from each individual's site, we will pass the REPSITE variable into the pdf document. If my marketing page is www.xyz123abc.com/jim. When someone visits my website and opens the pdf, they will see www.xyz123abc.com/jim. When my partner Bob's site is visited, the pdf will display www.xyz123abc.com/bob.
So how can I dynamically pass variables from a website into the pdf?

Don't know if there is a better way, but you could use the 'identity Object'. Just make sure that the Identity is set in the application preferences for each employee
var userName = identity.name
Edit: Sorry, after rereading your post, I don't think this is what you are asking for. Perhaps the 'HostContainer Object' wll allow you to do what you want?

BEx reports to be converted into PDF documents.

Hi All,
We have BEx WAD applications that invoke multiple queries and bring back data in a report like format. The reports contain a number of different fonts, page number information, graphical charts and table structued data. These reports are made available in the portal as iViews. Is it possible to convert these reports into PDF format (for printing) from the portal whilst retaining the formatting of the data with their fonts and graphics?? The report in the PDF must look exactly like it does in the iView.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi Edwin and Sunil,
Thank very much for the prompt responses. Edwin, the HowTo document shows how to do the process manually by copying the URL of the web template. The users of the portal will not or rather SHOULD NOT be doing this. This has to be an automatic function...the user clicks a link in the portal which says something like "Print in PDF format" and then adobe reader automatically launches and they simply click 'Print'.
Sunil,
what did you mean by give a command option of exporting the report to pdf format? Is this something within WAD itself? Can you point me to somewhere which will show me how to do this?
Thanks alot.

URGENT: Manage access rights on pdf document using Acrobat Javascrip

Hi everybody,
I have pdf document on my website, and I want to manage access right on those documents, some users has the right to print, save the document and others not,
So I'd like to know if it is possible to do it using Acrobat Javascript, and how I can do it if you have any exemple of script, document it will be very helpfull for me, I'm looking for that from two weeks already!!
Thx

Embedding XML data file into PDF, and reading from it?

Hello guys,
Sorry, I'm new to here and new to the Acrobat and its scripting. So, maybe my questions will be a bit stupid, but please help. Thanks.
So, here what I would like to do. I would like to make a class enrollment form for people, so that they can use it to apply for any class(es) they find interests at my centre.
The old way to do it, is to send them a MS Word file, or a print-out, and they fill in whatever they like. The nightmare starts here, since there is no checking on Word, nor cannot control what people could fill in on their paper. People starts filling in whatever they like, e.g. class number that doesn't match the class name, and that class name doesn't belong to that time slot. And they even miss a digit of their phone number!
I'm looking for a solution with Acrobat/PDF. And the picture I have in my mind is, to give people my enrollment form in PDF. And would like to embedded the class data (maybe in XML) in that same PDF, so that people won't loose a file and break the whole thing. And the PDF can use that class data to check if people have entre a class that's exist, and choose a date that's available...
Anyone have or know any good tutorial for that? and on the scripting to do that? Any hints does help. Thanks
(By the way I'm using Acrobat 8 and a LifeCycle the come with the installation.... )
I know it is alot to ask, but please kindly help, Thanks :)

Once you open the file, you can't access it again until the original reference is closed. You might want to look at a functional global architecture. You use a case structure to determine how to access the data. Initialize, write, read, save are common examples of sections inside the functional global.

Embedding the page size into a document (envelope)

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and sort of a newbie
In indesign I created and envelope and actually had to use custom paper size of 9.5 x 4.125 inch. Print setup in indesign is set to Envelope Com10 for paper size.
when I create the pdf using adobe acrobat and then I look at file properties, I see that the page size is indeed 9.5 x 4.125 inch
then in adobe reader, if I go to print, it wants to print to a letter. when I click on file printer setup, it says letter in there.
is there a way that the printer setup can be embeded in the document. So that I don't have to change it every time I open the document.
thanks a bunch

I do not believe it is possible because the method to do so depends upon the OS.

Embedding JavaScript rendered controls into a BSP page

Hello,
I want to add a JavaScript rendered grid control from the Ext JS framework into a tab of a BSP application.
It looks however that the layout management code behind BSP (it has to manage its tab container somehow)
interferes with the JavaScript of the Ext JS library.
My question is how to embed such a non-trivial JavaScript software into a BSP page without interfereing with the internals of the BSP rendering engine.

Now in more detail:
I am talking of adding a sophisticated grid control, which itself is implemented with the Ext JS JavaScript framework.
Here is a simple grid of that kind:
[http://www.sencha.com/deploy/dev/examples/grid/array-grid.html]
To give you an impression of the amount and complexity of the code, here is the user code which calls the Ext JS framework:
[http://www.sencha.com/deploy/dev/examples/grid/array-grid.js]
The present embedding is of the kind:
(code sample omitted, because the forum software dies with a post error if leave it)
This is included into a BSP tabcontrol tab.
In Firefox we see that the ext-grid is hidden by some BSP JavaScript logic which gets delivered with the final pages in the user's browser.
In Internet Explorer we see a bug:
file: sapUrMapi_ie6.js, line 4729, function sapUrMapi_PcTabSeq_draw, error: style.display is not an object (it tries to check the display attribute).
which stops execution and such has the lucky effect of not hiding the grid, so it display as intended from our part.
I have researched some examples on the net, where AJAX code was embedded into a BSP application and saw that this code is often structured differently, using documentHead, documentBody und content HTMLB Elements, but also sometimes puts the JavaScript just at the end like in the code fragment given above. Alas I lack a proper description and guidelines when to use what element and where to put what JavaScript (and CSS) into the various sections of a BSP htm file.

Marc van Woerkom

How can I insert an Image into PDF document programmatically?

I am trying to work with a pdf programmatically through FoxPro using objects:
createObject(”AcroExch.App”)
createObject(”AcroExch.AvDoc”)
createObject(”AcroExch.PDDoc”)
I am able to open acrobat, add / delete pages, fill in some fields with the “AFormAut.App” object. and finally print the pdf.
I print Hundreds of books for students in our college, each student gets a book specificaly tailered for the student.
Everything goes programmatically.
Now I want to insert images into the pdf, also programmatically.
I cant find a which object to work with?
I wish there was a way to do it just as I did with the things i mentioned above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
So where do I goet the plugins or how do I know which plugin would enable me
to work with images?
Now I got to another thing that I need, I need to flatten pdf
programmatically, and don't know how.

Adding media control to PDF document

Greetings,
This is my first post, and so it is probably not in the right area. (Please advise.)
I have successfully added small sound files to individual areas on a PDF. Now I need to add a large file, which the students need to be able to control -- e.g. stop, start, rewind, etc. How do I add this element (an icon for controlling the media)? I am using the Pro 8 version.
Thanks,

This is a forum for Adobe's Soundbooth audio editing program. You probably need the Adobe Acrobat forum.

I need to be able to access a PDF document on my ipad when I am offline and save it to print later when I am connected to wi-fi. I can not figure out how to do this (to be accessible offline and saved). Please help.

I type notes between therapy sessions and frequently do this in my car without wifi available. I need a way to access PDF files that I can type in and save and be able to AirPrint from when I am connected to wifi at a later time, I currently have these documents saved in Dropbox and open them on my ipad or iPhone in Adobe Reader but don't have a way to save and use offline. I tried iBooks but it doesn't allow me to edit. I need specifics on how to do this please. I bought an ipad to make my mobile work easier but am still using my iPhone for everything because I can't figure how to easily access and edit PDF documents offline. Thanks in advance.

search the app store for PDF Writer. I've found a lot that will convert documents to PDF, but none yet that will write within the PDF. One thing you want to avoid are cloud based apps. Any of them that talk about editing on the cloud, etc, aren't going to be as standalone as you want.
It's possible, if you can take your template PDF, turn it into a word document that you can edit, you can then convert that to PDF...kinda a workaround way to do what you want. And apps that convert to PDF are much easier to find

Scanning directly to a .pdf document

I just bought a new computer (with Windows 8) and installed Adobe Reader XI. With that Adobe product is it possible to scan directly into .pdf documents? Or must one upgrade/buy to some other version of Adobe? I used to be able to scan directly to .pdf documents from my scanner/printer using file/create pdf/from scanner but that route doesn't appear available now.

If you did that using an Adobe product, it wasn't Reader. More than likely Acrobat.
But, you're scanner may have software that will scan directly to PDF. I'd check with the manufacturers.
