Embedding PDF files

Hi everyone!
Sorry if this has already been asked before, but I couldn't find any threads about it so I thought I'd post a new one.
I'm currently trying to work out a useful way to display a sample of a book online, so I've created a PDF file with the pages that I want to show and have embeded the PDF file into the site with the following code:
I changed the actual website and pdf file names for security reasons but they're mostly irrelevant.
My question is, does anyone know of a way to tell Acrobat Reader to use the "Two up" viewing option by default with the embed code so it displays like a real book would with the pages side by side? Also, is there embed code that I can use to disable the ability to save the PDF file?
Thanks!

In Adobe Acrobat you can set initial view of the document.

No.

When I try to open an embedded PDF file I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe.

When I try to open an embedded PDF file (Word doc) I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe. That program is either not installed on your computer, or is corrupt..." I've tried about everything from unchecking
protected mode at startup to removing & reinstalling Adobe. Nothing seems to fix this issue. Any other ideas?
This is happening on Adobe reader 9, 10 & 11 with MS Word 2010 & 2013. I've uninstalled, cleaned & reinstalled Reader 9, 10 & 11, as well as Acrobat 10 Pro & 11 Standard. Removed "Protected mode at startup, and changed
the default program for viewing from reader to Acrobat. This will not go away. It is affecting production at our company.

" Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder" . i can't find open containing folder in profile directory. it does give me the option to open the places.sqlite file using graphic converter. when i try that, graphic converter gives me a window saying that it can't be opened because it is corrupted or is not a file type supported by graphic converter.
i appreciate your help with a workaround to get the old bookmarks. that works. however, the problem has morphed from that concern to why adobe reader [the default app.] won't open firefox .sqlite files. is the problem in adobe reader or firefox? also, how can i tell if the places.sqlite file is corrupt?
i'm getting in over my head here and do appreciate your help.

Embedded pdf files will not open

Dell Laptop Windows XP up to date, Firefox 4.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.1
Since updating to Firefox 4.0 certain embedded pdf files will not open forcing me to use my Internet Explorer browser to access these files. Tried all of the FAQ suggestions with no relief.
NOTE: I can open previously opened files (Firefox 3.___) but not a new one.

Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

Links to embedded pdf files not working in iOS reader

I have created a pdf document that links to a variety of embedded pdf files.
When I open this file in the iOS reader on my iPad 3, the links are not active. All of the embedded files are listed in the attachments list, but the links themselves do not launch the attachments.
Please help!
Thank you

We only support internal and http links in the current reader,not including links to attachments. However, PDF attachments should be open-able using the attachments button (bottom right). It should also work for password protected documents. If it does not, please share a sample file with us at [email protected] so we can investigate.
Thanks!

Embedded pdf file in MS Excel cannot be open in Surface RT.

Hi,
I have a problem opening the embedded pdf file in my MS Excel in my Surface RT.
When I clicked on the pdf file, it shows "Cannot start the source application for this object".
I have the Adobe Reader Touch installed in my Surface RT.
Does anyone face the same problem? Any solution for the issue?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with Modern UI) does not support embedded PDF files.
Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) does support it. Unfortunately, Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with the Windows RT operating system. Hence, you are not able to install and run Adobe Reader XI on Surface RT.
I tried other PDF viewers (that are Windows Store apps), such as Microsoft Reader, Foxit Mobile PDF for Win8, on my Surface RT by changing the default PDF application. But none of them opened embedded PDF files successfully.
It looks like your only choice is to view those Microsoft Excel/Word files with embedded PDF on your desktop machine, laptop or other devices with Intel-based processors. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Embedded PDF files do not show in Internet Explorer 11

Hi,
We have several machines that cannot show embedded pdf files in Internet Explorer 11 with Adobe Reader as default pdf reader.
Example from one pc:
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 – all updates applied.
IE 11 version: 11.0.9600.17239.
Update Versions: 11.0.11 (KB2976627).
Adobe Reader: 11.0.08 (no further updates available).
As test example we have used: http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/browser_tests/embedded/embed2.html
We only get a blank page with two placeholders with a small black square with a white cross in each.
If we install Foxit Reader on the same pc, and sets it as default reader, everything works.
What do we do to solve the Adobe Reader problem?

Hi Pat - thanks for your reply.
We have already tried the TabProcGrowth registry change. It doesn't work. As mentioned, we use IE 11 on Windows 7, and not IE 10 as the article from Microsoft specifies.
As shown in the images above, the registry is set to 1 and the PDF's still don't show up embedded in the browser.
Any other suggestions? Anyone?

Firefox 4.0 support for printing embedded PDF files in iFrames via JavaScript

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and can no longer print embedded PDF documents contained in an iFrame.
My company's web application has several pages which load PDF files from a Servlet into an iFrame. The pages in question all have "Print" buttons which when clicked executes a JavaScript function to obtain reference to the iframe containing the PDF, place it into focus() (e.g., frames['pdfdoc'].focus();), and invoke print() (e.g., frames['pdfdoc'].print();). There are no errors, or exceptions caught when the JavaScript function is invoked, but the "Print" button is no longer operational.
Does Firefox 4.0 no longer support iFrames? The issue goes away if I revert back to ver 3.6.16

I have same issue for printing embedded PDF files in iFrames via JavaScript in Firefox 5.0.
In previous versions it was working fine. But not in Firefox 4.0/5.0.
Is there any solution for this problem?

Embedded PDF files in PPTX file: how do I extract them?

Hi everyone,
I have PowerPoint files (.pptx) that include embedded PDF files within them. They appear on Windows PowerPoint as clickable icons that open the PDF in Acrobat or some other PDF reader. In Keynote, however, the same icons do nothing, as I assume that Keynote does not support embedded PDFs. I really need access to those PDFs for work, and I don't have access to PowerPoint here. Is there any way that these files can be accessed by Keynote?
-Thanks, John

is this windows Powerpoint or Mac Powerpoint?
If it is a windows powerpoint, then they are individual OLE Objects, not a single embedded PDF file.
If its a Mac Powerpoint, my knowledge is a bit outdated as I dont use the Mac version these days to comment with certainty, but right click > show package contents and if there is an embedded PPt file it will be listed in the package comtents.
Please report back how you get on.

It seems like Illustrator may not consistantly be updating the embedded pdf file when we re-save..........

It seems like Illustrator may not consistently be updating the embedded pdf file when re-saving, even if the embedded illustrator file does. We are seeing a number of issues which seem to suggest this is going on..... I have a file I might be able to share with adobe's developers to really look at this problem. In short this file does not have a client change when viewed in reader or output through Photoshop image processor to generate raster copies, yet when we open the file we see the client changes. I would expect this to be a huge issue..... I have told my team to perform a save-as from now on to avoid what I think is going on-it seems to work.....
We are using Illustrator CS5.5 (15.1.0)

Hi,
I think your pdf file is probably damaged. There is a tool called Advanced PDF Repair. I have used it to repair many corrupt PDF files successfully. Its homepage is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/ Maybe you can have a try.

List Menu Fighting With Embedded PDF Files, sub-items pop up behind the embedded PDFs

I’m trying to embed PDF file that will stay behind my javascript pop up menus on my website.
I tried setting the z-index for the menu in the css to 10 and the z-index on the embedded file to 1, that didn’t seem to do anything.
I know that you can embed a swf as an object and set the wmode to “transparent” , but it doesn’t seem to work the same way with a PDF. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charey

Cannot open embedded pdf files with Adobe Reader X

When trying to open pdf files embedded as an object within MS Word or Excel (Office 2007) it comes up with the following message:
"The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
I had no problems with AR v9.
Similarly, when I try to insert a pdf file as an object it comes up with exactly the same message.

Sure.
In Reader X:
Edit->Preferences->General->uncheck "Enable Protected Mode At Start Up"

Problems embedding PDF files into Excel 2003 workbooks

Several of my fellow consultants engaged on a client project were previously able to successfully embed PDF files as objects within Excel 2003 workbooks. However, most recently, a few of them have been encountering odd icon displays for the embedded object (not the standard Adobe PDF icon), resulting in the user unable to view the object (these colleagues are using desktop PCs running Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2). Has anyone encountered this and have a remedy?

Thanks for responding -
My colleagues report that no error messages appear when adding the object to the Excel spreadsheet - however, the object is created with a non PDF icon being displayed. Once the icon is double clicked, nothing appears. The sample of the problem was forwarded to me - where I can see that the object icon is in fact a non Adobe PDF icon (see below). While I am able to open the PDF file with my PC desktop configuration (Windows XP, Excel 2007, Adobe Reader v9.4.1.), those with Windows XP, Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader v9.3.2 can not. Any thoughts?

HTMLLoader and embeded *.pdf file - get some info

Hi,
Is there any way to get some info from embeded in HTMLLoader *.pdf file ? I'm writing a small AIR application which need's for example number of a currently viewed pdf page. I'm using Flash Builder (trail version) and Adobe Reader 9 as a pdf browser. Of course I saw http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/scripting_pdf.html but I'm using free Adobe Reader - not professional.
Thank for Your answers.

Yes, just after posting--and it solved the problem.
Thanks.

Embedded pdf files

I create a PDF with 40 slides.
Linked together (running fine)
(like a presentation with embedded pdf catalog files)
But when I press a button to open a pdf within this pdf nothing happen.
Everything is ok with a "normal" reader at a pc or laptop.
I use the lates Adobe Reader App for Android on a Tablet with Android 4.0.

Adobe Reader for Android does not yet support buttons that open attachments. It is a feature on our list for the future, but we do not yet have a date when it will be available.
