How can I open a PDF file from a swf?

Hi all,
I created presentation using Flash cs5, and I want to make a link that opens an external PDF file. I have done this with past version of Flash, but how can I do it using cs5?
Many thanks in advance,
HDsuperglide

Sorry, just linking like before doesn't seem to work. When you select the link button all you get is a search browser looking for the pdf file you are trying to open.
This is what I was told to use.
on (release)
GetURL("name of pdf.pdf","_blank") ;
Does not work on CS5
Anyone have a real thoughts.

  • Can't open web pdf files from my Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license agreement to use Reader and I never saw that page during installation.

    Can't open web pdf files from my newly installed Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license to use agreement to Reader, and I never saw that page during installation.  How do I get past this?

    You need to accept the EULA on first launch of the Reader DC application.
    Go to the Applications folder and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. 
    This will bring up the EULA.
    Select the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms
    Assuming you selected the "Agree" button, Reader DC should open.
    You should now be able to open PDF files in your web browser.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • How can I open excel pdf files

    How can I open excel pdf files

    Hi mmart1957,
    Do you have Excel files, PDF files, or PDF files that have been converted to Excel? If you're working with PDF files, you'll need either Reader or Acrobat to open the files. If you have a converted Excel file, then you'll need Excel to open it.
    Best,

  • How can I open a pdf file?

    I downloaded an ebook to a save file on my desktop. I cnnot open to read it. How can I open it.
    I down loaded Adobe, but the firefox does not recognize that it is there. Why?

    I do not see a PDF reader installed in your plugins; click on the "More system details..." to the right of your original question post to see a list of your plugins reported with your question post. I do not know what you downloaded from Adobe, but it appears to not be installed. Follow the instructions below under "Download complete installer...".
    #'''Update or Install Adobe Reader (PDF plugin):'''
    #*From within your existing Adobe Reader ('''<u>if you have it already installed</u>'''):
    #**Open the Adobe Reader program from your Programs list
    #**Click Help > Check for Updates
    #**Follow the prompts for updating
    #**If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
    #*Download complete installer ('''if you do <u>NOT</u> have Adobe Reader installed'''):
    #**Use the links below to avoid getting the troublesome "getplus" Adobe Download Manager and other "extras" you may not want
    #**Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the appropriate link below
    #**Click "Save to File"; save to your Desktop (so you can find it)
    #**After download completes, close Firefox
    #**Click the installer you just downloaded and allow the install to continue
    #***Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
    #**'''<u>Download link</u>''': ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/
    #***Choose your OS
    #***Choose the latest #.x version (example 9.x, for version 9)
    #***Choose the highest number version listed
    #****NOTE: 10.x is the new Adobe Reader X (Windows and Mac only as of this posting)
    #***Choose your language
    #***Download the file
    #***Windows: choose the .exe file; Mac: choose the .dmg file
    #*Using either of the links below will force you to install the "getPlus" Adobe Download Manager. Also be sure to uncheck the McAfee Scanner if you do not want the link forcibly installed on your desktop

  • RoboHelp for Word 8.0 - can't open a pdf file from help topic

    running RoboHelp for Word 8.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I produce WinHelp for one of our clients.
    I just converted an old online help system from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 8.
    one of my topics has a button to launch a pdf file
    {button Transport Feature Chart, EF(`GFC.pdf', `', 1, `')}
    I can generate the hlp file, launch the help and open the topic but cannot open the pdf file when I click on the button.
    any ideas?

    I've just tried this in RH8 and have discovered that the EF macro only seems to work with certain file types. For example, .TXT and .LOG files do work whilst .PDF and .DOC don't. I'm beginning to wonder if there has been something that has changed between RH7 and RH8 along security lines? Just added my 2p as I haven't used WinHelp for over 10 years!

  • How can I open a PDF file and enter a word in the Find field from the command line?

    Hi,
    I want to use a PDF file as the help file of another program.
    I have found somewhere an incomplete description of the command line parameters of Acrobat Reader.
    It described how to open a file and jump to its given page.
    I have written the following batch file based on that.
    rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader at given page (prm2)
    "%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&page=%2=OpenActions" %1
    The following batch file opens the search dialog:
    rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader
    rem and search for something (prm2)
    "%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&navpanes=1=OpenActions&search=%2" %1
    I need the simple find field instead of the complicated search window.
    Regards

  • How can I open different binary files from BLOB column ?

    If we store some type of binary file (XLS, DOC, PDF, EML and so on, not only pictures) in BLOB column how can I show the different contents? We use designer and forms 9i with PL/SQL.
    How can I copy the files from BLOB to file in a directory or how can I pass BLOB's content to the proper application directly to open it?

    The mime type is just a string as explained above (e.g. application/pdf...). There are lot of samples here and on metalink.
    E.g. add a column mime_type varchar(30) to your blob table. Create a procedure similar to the following:
    PROCEDURE getblob
    (P_FILE IN VARCHAR2
    IS
    vblob blob;
    vmime_type myblobs.mime_type%type;
    length number;
    begin
         select document, mime_type into vblob,vmime_type from myblobs where docname = p_file;
         length := dbms_lob.getlength(vblob);
         if length = 0 or vblob is null then
         htp.p('Document not available yet.');
         else
         owa_util.mime_header(vmime_type);
         htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(vblob));
         owa_util.http_header_close;
         wpg_docload.download_file(vblob);                
         end if;
    exception
         when others then
         htp.p(sqlerrm);
    END;
    Create a DAD on your application server (refer to documentation on how to create a DAD).
    Display the blob from forms (e.g. on a when-button-pressed trigger):
    web.show_document('http://myserver:port/DAD/getblob?p_file=myfilename','_blank');
    For storing blobs in a directory on your db server take a look at the dbms_lob package.
    For storing blobs in a directory on your app server take a look at WebUtil available on OTN.

    Could you please tell me how can I do that?
