How can I integrate adobe reader within an wxwidgets application

Obviously I'm new to the world of adobe pdf reader.  I would like to integrate pdf reader from within a wxwidgets application I am writing.   I am trying to accomplish the following.
1.  Control the size, positioning and what options are available of a pdf viewer and have it part of a frame that we control the general look and feel.
2.  Highlight search words found within the article (from a previously executed search that brought me to the article)
This project will be used to display millions of technical and scientific papers.  There will be no cost to access the papers or to even publish new ones.  The is being done by a non-profit society.  They will be peer-reviewed and Authors will have total control of their content without feer of unauthorized modification.
We currently display the pdf by calling a webbrowser and that works, but so far I haven't found a way to communicate through the browser to the pdf plug-in so I can accomplish #2 above.
I see two possibilities on going forward.
A.  Find a way to communicate with the plug-in via the xulrunner browser.
B.  Integrate an adobe object directly from within our program and then communicate with it.  (this options seems like a more likely candidate to establish comminication, but then there is an issue of getting it within the project and distributed to the end user - So far we have managed to avoid any installation procedure).
Could someone give me a good starting point on what I might have to do to go forward to access the reader so that I can highlight the search words?
I would really appreciate any help or direction that I can get.

    or
    cmd  /c "C:\mydoc.pdf"

    I want to prevent user to access any option that can give him acces to filesystem (Open/save/save as).
    I want also to prevent any change/add information to PDF document
    Thank you in advance for the time you will spend for me.

  • How can i integrate Adobe Reader in my iOS App

    HI,
    I am an iOS developer and trying to read DRM files.
    So i am searching an API by which i can do the same.
    Please suggest me available APIs.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Nirmala Maurya

    Steve is correct in that there may be an Apple API to do what you want. If you care interested in finding out if Adobe is providing an API to its Reader app, the Acrobat SDK forum might have people with some knowledge. But since Apple has sandboxed iOS apps, I doubt there is any API or to allow the interApp communication you are talking about.
    However, I imagine if you are running one of Adobe's LiveCycle server products, you might be able to create an App that somehow communicates to the server to give you the sort of service you might need. So if the Acrobat SDK forum has no ideas, you might try one of the LiveCycle forums. Unless you are going to support some enterprise operation, I doubt the LiveCycle route would be cost effective.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?

    Hi,
    I have some forms that I can fill in and save with Adobe Reader 6.0. Some of our computers have Adobe Reader 8.0 and these same forms can be filled in but not saved.
    Everytime I supposedly download Adobe Reader 6.0. . . Adobe Reader 8.0 downloads.
    How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?
    The computers are newer and are running Windows XP.
    Thanks!!!

    If you cannot save the forms with Reader 8, you cannot do it with Reader
    6. Perhaps you had Acrobat 6 which is a commercial product as opposed to
    Reader which is free.

    This will not technically a cross-platform project.   For now I'm doing all my development in windows, Although in the future I might have a parallel development in mac.
    I did some testing on the open parameters as you suggested and was quite disappointed.  When I "searched" for a word, it did not highlight all the matches, but just one at a time.  I also found that if I searched for two words that the order of the words changed the results.  In one case by reversing the order I not only didn't get any highlights but the article would not even display.  So far I am not impressed.
    At this point I'm more inclined to integrate the reader directly in the project.  Assuming that is possible, I would like to manually highlight all the occurances of a set of words without relying upon the search mechanism.  Can I do this in the API?

  • How can I keep Adobe Reader from closing 30 secs after I open it? Windows Vista

    My Adobe Reader closes after 30 seconds or so of being opened. I've been making changes to some of my windows settings in an effort to reduce risk of viruses and malware, etc. I don't know why it affected the time Adobe is allowed to stay open and so don't know how to fix the problem. How can I fix this?

    Three things to try:
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
