How 2 search inside a PDF document using the firefox internal PDF reader
Cannot find any way to do a text search inside a PDF document when it is displayed by the builtin PDF player in Firefox.
If there is a way, how is it done?
If there isn't a way, it seems an obvious enhancement.
son of a gun. I've always searched in firefox by hitting slash and typing the search term, but that doesn't seem to work in the pdf reader. I guess, if I had searched for key bindings I coulda figured that out for myself.
thanks!

Annotate pdf documents using the reader plugin in the browser
Is it possible to annotate pdf documents using the reader plugin in the browser?
Sorry I do not have answers, and do not know details of the Mac/Adobe plugins problems.
Conspiracy theorists may wonder whether Adobe is constantly reviewing cost/benefit of supporting various OS s & Browsers.
One may note
* Flash Ubuntu development has effectively ceased, with all support ceasing in a few years http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html
* Firefox on Windows Flash11.3 et seq has had many problems, I certainly have not noticed Adobe rolling out rapid and successful fixes for those problems
* and Android support was dropped http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html -
Not possible to print a SWF in a PDF document using the Print command in Ad
Have a PDF with 3 pages, page 1 and 3 contains text and the 2nd page contains a SWF animation made with Xcelsius 2008. When printing the document using the Print function in Adobe the 2nd page is always empty, the SWF is never printed. To be able to print the 2nd page containing the SWF animation I must use the print function in the Flash player (right click on the SWF animation).
This problem should, according to Business Objects, be solved with the new version of Adobe Reader 9, but the problem still appear.I have seen this. Adobe 9 cannot print embedded flash objects. Xcelsius Engage/2008 includes a print button you can include on your dashboards to allow you to print them from your pdf files.

Can't save a pdf file using the 'File' tab in FF4.
Clicking "Save Page As..." in the Firefox menu should work fine. However, if the server you are downloading from is set up incorrectly, Firefox might recommend a filename which does not have the ".pdf" extension (e.g. "get_file.php"). In this case type ".pdf" at the end of the file name.

How many users are registered for using the firefox sync server?
I'm working on a german wikipedia article about "Firefox Sync" and I need more information about the current usage and the historical development of this feature - number of registered users for the Sync Server at Mozilla - would be nice to have numbers for 2011, 2012, and current usage.
If possible, it would be also useful to know how many german speaking users are using the sync service.
Where are your Sync Servers located (US, Europe, Asia)?
What kind of systems and platforms are supported?
Is there a current documentation about the importance of the Firefox Sync Service, that I may reference?thanks for your fast reply,
your URL to the page with the ideas of the new PiCL service shows in the remark about the usability of the "Firefox Sync" some hints about the usage of the current sync service "only 1% of our users have actually done so" - so I will use that as reference.
But it would be nicer to have some public message - for example: a mozilla blog entry - from the mozilla services group about the number of registered Sync Server User - and also about performance and reliabilty.
But if that is private information only, you can close this problem. -

So, the title of this message is what I am trying to do. However, when I do this it acts like it is uploading a file and then nothing ever happens. I have been waiting hours to see if it was just taking a long time. Is there a size limit to this service? My file is 43 MB.
Hi, could you share a screenshot of what your page looks like immediately after you upload a file? It could be that it just is taking a long time to upload. Do you have a high-speed internet connection?

If the document is saved and reopened with a pdf reader, pattern is absent. How can I get rid of this annoyance ?
Which viewer do you use to display the PDF file in Firefox?
Is that the PDF viewer extension ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/]) or the Abode Reader plugin or another extension?
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Problem with linking PDF documents using named destinations
Linking from one PDF document to another PDF document using named destinations viewed in Reader works great but once the documents are viewed inside a browser environment the link will only open the go to document and will not go to the named destination.
If I make the links using the page number - yes they will work perfectly in the browser. But my problem is that the documents may change in the future and the links may be on differnt pages, so I need to use named destinations to bring me to the page of the PDF they are on.
Any suggestions? I need them to work in IE.
ThanksYou can link to a named destination with a URL. This might work better in
your case... To do it use the following format:

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!
You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Creating PDF documents using DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR ??
Hi everybody,
I have my XML document and my stylesheet in DB and i'm trying to create a PDF document using the DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.processxsl method, can anybody help me about that ??
Thanks for your help...
Lionel from SwitzerlandFor desktop-based solutions, look at the Adobe Acrobat SDK which enables development around Acrobat itself. Or if you wish a stand-alone solution (for either desktop or server), we offer the Adobe PDFLibrary, which is the same technology used by all of Adobe's applications.
For the server, we have our LiveCycle products including LC Generator.

Viewing bookmarks within PDF document on the iPad
I created a PDF document using the bookmark feature in Adobe. When I open the PDF in my email on an iPad using the GOOD browser or Safari, the bookmarks do not display. Are there any other options besides downloading an app such as Adobe Reader that will enable me to view and utilize the bookmark feature within a PDF document on the iPad?

How to I set an internal link in a PDF document using Preview? After setting a link under the Tools/Annotations menu, the link doesn't work and no detailed instructions are provided via the Help menu other than it showing the pull-down menu selection to make.
No. I am able to use the other features such as underlining, highlighting, adding rectangles and oval and save those changes.

Dear All
how to format paragraph string to show content left, Right or middle of pdf document using iTextsharp in visual basic and absolute position on the document.
ThanksHere is one more example that i have modified the GetCell function so that you can use it for adding all the cells to the document. It takes several arguments to specify everything you need to create each cell. It now lets
you specify the Text, the Text Alignment, the Text Font and color, weather the cell shows the Border, the BackColor of the cell, and the Padding values for the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom.
If you study the code you should be able to figure out how it works. From here you can figure out the rest of what you need to do and how to use the
GetCell function.
With one quick google search for "iTextSharp Documentation" the first link to pop up was this link.

How to stream YouTube video in PDF document using ID 5.5?
I'm using ID 5.5 and know how to insert a video into a document using the Media palette, "Insert video from URL" option. However, I need to stream a YouTube video in an interactive PDF document, and when I try to insert the link from YouTube into the "Insert Video from URL" box, ID doesn't recognize it. I assume this is because YouTube video links don't end with a typical video format file-name ending, such as ".mp4" or ".mov"
Has anyone been able to stream a YouTube video into a document using ID 5.5? If so, how did you do it?
Downloading the video and inserting it as a regular video file isn't an option because we need to keep the PDF file size down.
Thanks much for any advice you may have!It can't be done. A YouTube video cannot be streamed in any digital publishing media—PDF, EPUB, or DPS.
There are applications which claim to be able to convert a YouTube video into a real digital publishing format like H264-encoded MP4 (preferred), but you'll have to investigate those on your own.
