For Adobe to Implement: Double-click to References

As a psychology student I undertake a lot of research relating to my degree.
Most of this research relies on research articles in approved psychology journals
The majority of these articles are published in .pdf format.
These articles average 15-30 pages long and included say 80% content and 20% references.
Unfortunately, one has to scroll through to the reference section whenever you want to access a resource for further reading and locate the appropriate reference amongst a long list (typically 30-90) items.
Have you ever considered implementing a simple feature whereby double-clicking on a given page (in reader) would cause it to flip around (complete with smooth 3D animation) and reveal all the references cited on that page.
This would require a developer level change to Acrobat and Web-based versions of Reader as well as the Desktop version of Adobe reader
Alternatively an extension or plugin could be designed to faciltate this idea, though for mainstream acceptance and widespread use it would probably be better for a program level change/ addition.
This would save considerable time and energy undertaking research, research which hundreds of millions of people have to do.
Obviously this feature would need to be implemented by content creators whilst creating their documents, unless a special algorithm was developed to do it automatically, but it would make referencing and resource location far more convenient.
Would you give this concept its due consideration?

I think your definition of "mainstream" to include the people who read academic journals with references is perhaps a bit one-sided.  It sounds a good idea for a plug-in, but how much do you think people would pay for it? How big is the market - what is the business case?
Arguably the biggest problem is that the people who make these articles aren't using hyperlinking, which has been in PDF the best part of 20 years already. [Added] So if they aren't doing that how much could we expect them to do something else?

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
    My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
    Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.

    Hello,
    also try to use the messages clause (of type BDCMSGCOLL).
    This will return the system messages.
    call transaction 'XXXX' using BDCTAB
                                            mode 'P'
                                            messages into MSG_TAB.
    Try to change the mode from 'N' to 'P' and try to place a breakpoint and check what happens.
    Alternatively, you can read the Quality Notification text using FM READ_TEXT, and then show this data to the user in pop-up, rather than calling the tx.
    Hope this helps.

  • Change preferences for double click on images in Bridge

    Hiya,
    I feel a bit silly for asking this because it seems so obvious, but the onvious way just doesn't seem to work for me.
    When double-clicking on an image in Bridge, it opens Photoshop - which I suppose in some cases helps, but drives me crazy because it slows the system down so much. I want it to open Camera Raw 6 or just have a bigger preview of the photo.
    I tried Edit/Preferences: Under General I ticked the option that double clicks edits camera raw settings
    and under file associations I tried to associate jpg files with something other than photoshop but Camera Raw 6.0 is not offered to me there and I can't find the path that leads to it. What is the path? Or is there a different way?
    Thanks so much!!
    (Oh and another question, when when you filter for two keywords, you get all files that have either one or the other, how can I make them only show the ones that have both???)

      Don't think you could get a jpeg to open in camera raw with a double click as that is not the normal route, like it is with a raw image.  If you right click on the image you have the option to open in camera raw.
    If you do a search with 2 keywords it you only want images that have both you have to click if all criteria met in the match drop down box.

  • Double click in alv grid not refreshing until I click elsewhere

    Hello,
    I'm very new to abap and just managed to partly implement double click in an alv grid.
    I also created a button that calls the exact same function as double click (selects the row and fills in the data areas on the page). When I use the button, everything works fine, but when I double click, nothing changes until I click on a tab or other form of input button on the page.
    I have followed the process in debugging and can't find the fault anywhere.
    My double click is implemented by:
               create object lcl_event_receiver.
               set handler lcl_event_receiver->double_click
                    for search_alv_grid.
              endif.
    CLASS lcl_event_handler DEFINITION.
        public section.

  • Double-clicking does not bring up any of the Tools options menus

    I'm on my first lesson in Illustrator (CS5), never having used any Adobe graphics programs before, and I have somehow lost the ability to double-click and bring up any Tools options menus.For instance, if I double-click the scale tool,nothing happens. This is after I have (I believe) already selected the shape with the selector-arrow-tool and clicked on the shape. Any help for this would be greatly appreciated as I am at a complete standstill.

    Hi,
    I read your links and made sure everything like the edges and the bounding box were unhid, but that did not solve the problem. I get a plus sign when I select the scaling tool in CS5 and I am supposed to get a menu where I can select a "scale to 50%" option - according to the CS4 book.
    I have not yet tried your suggestion #1 of closing down AI and command/option/shift during startup because I am unsure if you mean "startup" AI or "startup" the entire computer.
    I'm not sure if you wanted me to reinstall the entire suite, which I don't really want to do. It is my very first day using a brand new CS5 install and my first day ever attempting to do anything on anything, plus I have a brand new computer with lots of capacity.
    Is there some kind of difficulty with having other apps open while working in Adobe? If so, that might be it.
    Any further advice will be greatly appreciated!

  • Double click on ipad

    Hi,
    We are working on an ipad application, but it don't support double click event.
    We need to implement double click or long click in it.
    One suggestion is to have a mouse down event and mouse up event and calculated the time between but we are having a large number of objects where we need to add this event.
    Please suggest if there is any other solution for this.
    Thanks ------ Amit Kanda

    Why not just set up your Comcast email account in the included Mail application? Much better than trying to use webmail designed for mouse input.

  • Is there a way to read the system DoubleClickTime double-click%3F

    Hi,
    I'm doing some customized actions on a tree if a user "slow-double-clicks" on a valid tag in the tree. My current solution works, but I would like to set the "limit" or interpretation of what constitutes a "slow" double-click based on the system DoubleClickTime setting of the system that the program is running on.. Anyone knows how to read this piece of information on a) windows system or b) any system?
    Please note that due to what I'm trying to accomplish, I cannot use the "double-click" event to make this determination.  (Double-clicks are left alone to do whatever they would normally do.)
    Microsoft MSDN on Double-clicks
    --I guess a more general form of the question would be "how to read out windows system settings in LabVIEW".
    For the specially interested, my program is an event driven queue machine. When I get a mouse up on the tree-control, I pass the ms timer to an action engine (get, set, re-set) which tracks delta time between two clicks and passes out an enum of "click type" (as defined by me) as either n/a, single, double, slow double.
    In my queue handler loop, I take the click message (from event loop), do some basic checks (is tag of the tree coordinate location empty string?) and pass it all along to another state that determines what to do based on click type, parent(s) (or indent level) and column.  The need for this "slow-click" feature came about when I needed to let the user re-name a parent level tag-item.. If you double-click normally on a parent, it will expand or collapse its children list. . In some applications, (windows explorer for example), the default double-click action (open the file) can be "changed" to a "rename" function by clicking a little slower. Clicking too slow will be interpreted as a "single" click (e.g. select).

  • Incorrect detection of double-clicks in layers and channels windows. (Mac OS X 10.6.8)

    Photoshop will detect a double-click in the layers and channels panels even when there are different modifier keys held down on the first click vs. the second click.
    I have never intended to double-click and accidentally changed the modifiers I was holding down between clicks.  I often perform an action requiring modifier keys and immediately follow it with an action that requires no modifiers (or different modifiers).
    I realize that the conventions for what constitutes a double-click are platform dependent and not particularly well documented, but I do expect Photoshop to work the way that my operating system does (Mac OS X 10.6.8)).  I know older versions of Windows detected double-clicks even when modifiers were changed between clicks, but I believe the latest versions behave similarly to OS X.
    Examples:
    Start by having a document open with multiple alpha channels and layers in it.
    Select an alpha channel by clicking on it's thumbnail in the channels panel.
    Quickly hold down the control key and click again.
    Result: this brings up the "Channel Options" window. (as if you had double-clicked)
    Expected result: should bring up the channel's contextual menu.
    Bonus extra nitpick:  The window opened on mouse-down, not on mouse-up.
    Create a non-blank alpha channel.
    Hold down the command key and click on that alpha channel's thumbnail. (loads the channel into the selection)
    Quickly release the command key and press the mouse button.
    Result: Brings up the "Channel Options" window. (as if you had double-clicked)
    Expected result: Start a drag operation on the channel.
    Click on a layer in the layers panel to select it.
    Move the mouse pointer to a different layer.
    Hold down the shift key and click to select multiple layers.
    Quickly release the shift key and press the mouse button.
    Result: Brings up the "Layer Style" window.  (as if you had double-clicked)
    Expected result: Begin a drag operation.
    Bonus extra nitpick:  The window opened on mouse-down, not on mouse-up.
    Interestingly the layers panel does the correct thing when control is pressed between clicks, but the channels panel does not.
    The options windows opening on mouse-down instead of mouse-up has never bothered me, but I believe it goes against convention.
    Thanks.

    Very detailed report, Jay. I was able to see exactly what you're talking about, and reproduce this using my trackpad. I'm wondering if this is an OS issue, or something that can be tweaked in Photoshop. Even with files in Finder, you can activate a double-click even with a slight hesitation, which is similar to the behavior in Photoshop.

  • Double click in a ALV GRID

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with an ALV GRID Control: I print in the screen an ALV with the clauses 'starting at...ending at...' ; when I do double click in a line of the ALV I show the details but, the size of the ALV get smaller and smaller for everytime I do double-click...
    Any ideas about how to solve this?
    Thanks and Regard.

    I have two dynpros:
    - In the first, in PBO I do
        CALL METHOD grid1->set_table_for_first_display
    To display the ALV
    - When I do double-clic, I raise the event handle_double_click. In the event I do a
      CALL SCREEN 2000 STARTING AT d_left_d d_top_d ENDING AT y1 y2
    to get the details. then, in the screen 2000, in the PBO, I do another
       CALL METHOD grid2->set_table_for_first_display
    to display the second ALV, the details.

  • Disable expand/collapse JTree through double click

    Hi guys,
    In my Tree when you double click a node, a input dialog will pop up. And the node will be expanded or collapsed accordingly. How can I disable expand or collapse the node through double click. So that every time only the input dialog will popup and the tree stays.
    Thanks a lot!

    The JTree class have a method setToggleClickCount(int clickCount) which sets the number of mouse clicks before a node will expand or close. The default is two. You can try to set 0 or for examle 10 and double click will only dialog popup.

  • Can't Double Click Jar in Fedora 2 Core

    Hi,
    Have a Jar that works in XP and was created with Ecliplse 3.
    I can double click the Jar File and it works great.
    I even compiled with Jet Excelsor to and EXE and it works great.
    Installed Java 1.4.2 SDK with Net Beans onto Fedora 2 Core OS, final release.
    Copied the Jar over using the Fat32 partition.
    I get a JAR looking ICON for the file, but double clicking on the Jar does nothing (as far as I can tell)
    When a user gets the JAR, it could be located in ANY directory.
    Anyone solve this or have this problem?
    I been looking at the JAR documention, and not finding anything that I know about that could relate.
    Thanks

    Does
    java -jar <jarfile>
    work?
    YES: Main-Class is set correctly in manifest, its just that the SDK for the Fedora 2 OS doesn't support double clicking.
    NO:
    Does
    java -cp <jarfile> <mainclass>
    work?
    YES: Main-Class is set incorrectly
    NO: Jar might be corrupted during transfer, try to unzip or unjar it.

  • Crucial time for Adobe and PrP

    With the release of Avid 6, the next few months are a crucial time for Adobe to implement some damage control to deal with the recurring issues that the general population are experiencing. (for details just read this and Adobe forum list for the last 4 weeks.)
    I am beginning to hear die hard switchers seriously considering now switching to Avid. Many of these are facility based, but lots of individuals as well. Reliable playback, monitoring, tape based ingest are just a few of the issues that converts are growing increasingly weary off.
    I mean no disrespect to Adobe, but if some steps arent taken to somehow address these issues, I really see the professional community passing PrP by and going to Avid. Adobe , you had a great opportunity to broaden your scope and user base. This opportunity wont happen again.
