Feuture Request: Open Acrobat from within Reader

Many people will recognise this: sometimes you just need reader to open invoices, web documents, etc. Sometimes you work with Acrobat a lot. Now you can switch the default program to open pdf's every time, but that's a hassle. Why isn't there (as far as I can see and I googled quite some time) a button in Reader that says: "Open this document in Acrobat"? I guess this would save millions of people a lot of hassle.
Its eems so obvious that I cannot imagine another request has been made for this, but I couldn't find it, so here it is. If I overlooked something, please point it out.

You cannot choose which program to open a PDF with when it is online or in an email. Which 95% of the PDF's one opens for just reading, in general are. Those other 5% are no problem, I agree.
Acrobat is uses much more system resources and takes much longer to start than Reader. (Also I mostly disable the the system startup time slurping Adobe "helpers" from Windows startup since I do not use Acrobat much, except for one month in a year when I work on printing matter. This makes startup time for every day use even longer.) I have a pretty fast computer, but for people with slower computers this is even more a real issue.
Anyway, every user is different and has his reasons to do things this way or that way. Users who prefer Reader for everyday use, but sometimes need Acrobat;s function, for instance for OCR-ing, - which you often do not know that you will need at the time of opening - would benefit much from this simple feature.

How can i open file from adobe reader..i already have adobe read

Open documents from within

I was a moderate user of FInal Cut Studio, but I am completely new to anything concerning Final Cut X. My apology in advance if this is obvious.
I am trying to open someone's FCS X project file on their machine, with .fcpproject extension. I double click it, but the dialog box says "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro". Now in FCP X, there is no File > Open option under the file menu.
Any ideas for a complete newbie?

There is a tut currently floating around the Web titled something like Learn Final Cut in 30 minutes.
It's quite possible to FUBR projects by trial and error approaches because the app is so database driven.
My 2¢…spend a little time getting some info on organization, terminology, and workflow. Whether it's the tut I mentioned or not, It will not take long and it really will be a worthwhile investment.
Good luck.

Trouble opening acrobate files with reader 10.1.7.

I have trouble opening acrobate files with reader 10.1.7. When I click on the file to open it with adobe reader x, nothing happens. If I click on Adobe Reader X icon, a message comes up: preparing to install. After that, I can open a PDF, but only until the next reboot.

Something went amiss during the install. Windows keeps trying to finish the incomplete install every time Reader opens.
Use the Adobe Cleaner to completely remove Reader.
Download the offline installer and reinstall without a download manager

Unable to open files from within Photoshop

Hi, I've updated to CC 2014.2.1 and I'm continuing to get this message when I attempt to open a file from within Photoshop (it started when I installed a beta versionYosemite, so I switched back to Mavericks, but it didn't help, [so many updates with Cloud, I lose track..]). I noticed someone else with a similar problem, but from 2013. Anyway, I get this message: 'Could not complete your request because of a program error.' I restart Photoshop, then I can open a few files, but then the errors start over.
Also, I'm not really familiar with the 'forum' means of support, but if anyone knows a solution to this beyond 'google it', which I've done, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Jeffery Tranberry—this did the trick. BUT while an answer to my issue gave the following feedback to Adobe....
Use of COVERFLOW if EXTREMELY IMPORTANT (in Photoshop) when working fast with hundreds of images. Who the heck labels every single image asset file—and knows what that is without a visual cue? WHEN IS THIS ON THE ROADMAP TO BE FIXED?????????? UGH! MAVERICKS has been coming for MONTHS. Why was this not vetted on Adobe's end as a valuable roadmap item for its users? I would have ranked this a high item from a user experience end and fought for inclusion on the developers roadmap. What is the ETA on a real fix concerning Mavericks & Coverflow use with Photoshop?

Opening Files from within an application

OSX 10.8.2 - Column view - When I open a file from within Acrobat (9.5.4) the list of files is sorted chronologically (Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days etc.) Is there a way to turn this off. This started when I upgraded to OSZ 10.8.

File dialogs have the ability to "group" items, which prohibits you from changing sort options. The group icon looks like six little squares. Click on it and instead of grouping by date, group by "none" and then you can change sort orders.

Request.getParameter("blah") from within a class?

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if I'm missing something...
I'm trying to create a class that will examine and parse information from a form, and then pass it to another class that knows how to handle the input.
A request in the form of http://www.domain.com/stuff.jsp?1=param1&2=param2&4=param4
stuff.jsp only has this:
UrlRequestGetter params = new UrlRequestGetter();
out.println(params.getTheParams());and the general idea for the UrlRequestGetter class is this:
public classUrlRequestGetter {
     public String getTheParams(){
          String request1 = request.getParameter("1");
                String request2 = request.getParameter("2");
                String request3 = request.getParameter("3");
                String request4 = request.getParameter("4");
}Within that class, there will be various actions to check whether or not fields are empty, etc. The big point is that i'm trying to do a request.getparameter from within a class. When i try to compile, I get:
cannot find symbol
symbol:variable request
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Take a step back from all that, and read the error message: cannot find symbol: symbol:variable request
Is "request" a variable you have declared or passed into your method getTheParams() ?
Where is it supposed to get the request from?
"request" is an implicit variable to your JSP. If you want to use it in your bean, you have to pass it as a parameter.
I'm trying to create a class that will examine and parse information from a form, and then pass it to another class that knows how to handle the input.You might consider using the <jsp:setProperty> tag to map parameters to bean attributes automagically.
Or the BeanUtils.populate method provided by Jakarta Commons BeanUtils.
Or any framework like struts, jsf, spring, stripes....

Timecapsule - opening files from within an application!!

I have a time capsule... 500Mb
I have an airport extreme with external hard drive - 250 Mb.
Through Finder, I can place files on either of these drives and open them from Finder.
If I open Numbers, or Pages, then try to open any file on Timecapsule, it appears that there are no files
If I open Number, or Pages, then try to open any file on the Airport Extreme external disk - it works!
Simple question really.... why cannot I see or open any file from within an application that resides on Timecapsule?? It's driving me crazy!!!

Open VI from within CIN ?

How to open a VI from within CIN (while LabVIEW is already running) ?

The shell command won't work, because LabVIEW is already running.
It'll only cause LabVIEW to crash. It might be ok in LabVIEW,
but not in CIN, don't know why.
How do you do DDE command in CIN? Which header file declare that?
What's other options?
Randy's Dll methods is what I'm using. But the Dll created by App.
builder isn't a true Dll.

White Screen when opening PDF from within a website program

I have previously been able to use the marketing products associated with http://greenhousebhgre.com A link takes me to
http://maryorfali.betteragents.com/admin/marketingmaterials/# and from them I have been able to update my marketing flyers by selecting Create/Edit. Now I just get a white screen. These flyers can be saved as PDFs and I am able to open them from outside the website.

So you are editing your flyers online at that website? If so, Adobe Reader is not involved in any way; Adobe Reader cannot create or edit PDF documents.
My suggestion: try another browser. If that does not help, contact the people who maintain that website.

CS2 won't open files from card reader

Suddenly CS2 on my eMac will not open files imported from CF card reader. I have tried two different card readers and three different CF cards with the same result:
"Could not complete your request because of on unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found."
Tried to open JPEG's and Raw files with same error message.
Elements 4.0 gives same message. Bridge will display icon only (JPEG or NEF) but will not display image. Both CS2 and Elements 4.0 will open old stored files without problem.
Replaced the Adobe/Unit Types file, but no help. There is no CD/DVD in the drive.
The images on the CF cards are not damaged. I know this since they will open in CS2/Elements on my lap top (Mac Book).
The files will open in Preview if I try Preview first. However, if I try to open them in Photoshop first and then in Preview, I get an error message from Preview also.
What have I done now?!?

That may seem like I'm just being picky for the heck of it, but when it comes to computing and troubleshooting and asking questions, the details

. In this case, probably not so much. But being sloppy about details is a bad habit to get into.

Mk:@MSITStore cannot open file from within RoboHelp

Have recently upgraded to RoboHelp 8 and now see the much discussed "Cannot open the file: mk:@MSITStore:<path>" error but only when trying to view .chm files from RoboHelp for Word, by clicking "View Primary Layout". Weirdly enough, some projects display the .chm correctly when clicking "View Result" right after generating the help file, some projects do not. Viewing .chm directly from output location is always fine. For very small projects, the "View Primary Layout" button seems to work. For very large projects, the error message always occurs. I've un-registered and re-registered hhctrl.ocx as well as downloaded, replaced and registered the previous ocx version (4.73.8412.0) as well as re-registered itss.dll The OS is Windows XP Professional with IE 7. Suggestions please? Thanks!

I recently ran into a problem viewing some pdfs and Word Documents in a generated html help file.
Setup:
pdfs and .docs in baggage files
links to the baggage files created in tables
2 tables in each topic
pdfs/docs in first table in each topic opened without a problem
pdfs/docs in second table would not open - address bar display:
(Example)
mk:@MSITStore:C:\EOCs\!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\BlueMedicare_EOCs.chm::/2012_EOCs/2012_WS_ Book.pdf
(Pause for much gnashing of teeth, pulling of hair, angst, frustration and thinking) but no pdf (or Word doc)
I can't change registry entries or any other computer settings. No administrative rights.
Anyway, it couldn't be an outdated registry entry because within one project, some pdfs and docs displayed as expected and others didn't.
Checked to see what the differences were in the tables/cells that worked vs the ones that didn't.
Looking at the HTML, I found "target=_blank" in each row of the tables that failed to display a baggage file.
I replaced "target=_blank" with no replacement text - I left Replace with blank.
Voila! All pdfs and docs open just as expected.
I hope this helps someone.

Simply cannot open file from within Illustrator CS3

When working in CS3 in 10.5.8 I go to open file and select a document nothing happens. It is as if I did not attempt the command. This just began happening about a week ago. I've been on CS3 for over 2 years. In order to open each file - I must locate the file in its folder and double click on it to open the file. However going to open recent files does work. I have tried re-launching Illustrator by holding down the Shif/Option/Cmmd to refresh the prefs but that did not work. Any ideas? thanks.

Good job on your troubleshooting so far. Answer could be in the OS rather than within Illustrator. Try running Applications>> Utilities >> Disk Utility and fixing the permissions.
Mike has the probably cause of this if repairing the permissions with the disk utility does not work do not give up on this procedure.
You can do it manually in case the disk utility over looks this folder.
Control or right click on the folder where these files are and then go to get info and where it says Ownership and Permissions check to see if all the users listed have permission to use the contents of the folder, it will say read/write.
This can also be true for specific files and for directors higher up like folder for a client that contains these other folders,or partition of a drive which contains the folders and parent folders as well as for an entire hard drive so you have to check the entire hierarchy on occasion. If it is a foder or higher directory there is the option oncce you set the permissionfor the directory to have it apply to all files and directories contained within.
Mike's advice and the folder are fine then it might be a corrupt settings folder. So you can try this as well.
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
