How to force using the adobe reader to view the PDF by javascript / PHP / HTML?

I use the standard way to embed a pdf to my website, however, when I open it the browser will choose the default pdf viewer instead of the adobe reader. I can change it manually by looking at the browser option but it would not be nice if the website visitor need to do this manually. So I would like to know how to force the browser to open the PDF in adobe by using some HTML header / javascript / php or any parameter in object tag. Thanks.
<object id = 'zoomPage' type='application/pdf' data= '" + sourceFolder + "SingTao/2013/08/17/0/0/A/Content/pdf/pdf_" + currZoomPageNo + ".pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&pagemode=read'><p>The PDF can not display</p></object>

I know this problem related to the browser behaviour so I would target only :Chrome firefox and IE 9+ (it is ideal if IE8 can also adopt the solution) thanks

How to access hyperlinks in Adobe Reader X when the hyperlinks were created in Microsoft Visio then exported as a PDF?

I created some hyperlinks in Microsoft Visio then saved the document as a PDF. When I opened the document and scroll over the shape I set the hyperlink to, it doesn't even register it as a hyperlink. The cursor doesn't change shape as a click able object, when I do open another PDF file that has hyperlinks it responds correctly to each shape (those hyperlinks were created within Adobe so I don't know if that has anything to do with it). I have looked all over the internet and found a couple of forums that answered a couple portions of my question but not entirely hence why I am reaching out now. If anyone could assist with this I would be very grateful.

Commonly there are three ways to create a PDF from MS Visio.
The first is a Microsoft process built in to the Office applications.
For issue resolution (if any) associated with this process you must investigate what is available over in Microsoft web space.
The second and third methods are predicated on having Acrobat installed.
Method 2 makes use of the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
This is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader).
This virtual printer outputs to PDF rather than paper. As with output to paper the output to PDF provides no interactivity (e.g., links).
Method 3 makes use of PDFMaker.
Acrobat's PDFMaker is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader).
PDFMaker can be configured to pass Office applications' hyperlinks through to the output PDF as PDF Link annotations.
IMPORTANT DETAILS !!
#1 - For Viso you must use Acrobat Pro.
#2 - The Acrobat / Viso versions must be compatible.
#3 - (as with all software) the application version(s) used must be compatible with the OS used.
Consequently, for any meaningful suggestions to be forthcoming you must identify the specific method used eh.

I need help! I downloaded the adobe reader XI from the internet and I still cannot open my pdf file

I need your help I downloaded adobe reader Xl and I still cannot open my pdf files. Please help as soon as possible I need it for work

When I try to open the file it just states that adobe is not responding. the file open up to the top of the page of the document but I cannot scroll down to read the document. Please I hope you can help me I followed the instructions.
[private data removed]

Would an issue with Adobe Reader XI be the reason I would not have a scroll bar or another way to navigate a list on a website that requires Adobe?

The publisher of our text books have an online resource we use to access materials that requires the use of Adobe Reader. For the past few days I have been unable to navigate through the site because there is not a scroll bar or any method to move through the list using the navigation bookmarks provided for that purpose. I have spoken, at length, with the online support team at the publishing company, and we have tried many trouble shooting steps. The technician I was working with also checked on the Adobe website to see if he could find anything else. He and I are both at a loss. As the problem doesn't seem to be on his end (the publisher, website, etc) or my end (my settings for PDF on my computer, version of Adobe, platform, etc.), I am hoping someone might have an idea of how to help solve this issue.

My operating system is Windows 7, I've tried both Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and the Reader version is 11.0.09. In Chrome, the Adobe PDF plugin has been enabled and "always allow" has been selected. The Chrome PDF viewer had been disabled. The adjustments have also been made in Firefox to use Adobe Acrobat.
I appreciate any help or advice you are able to offer.

Safari keeps trying to use Adobe Reader to view PDFs

I had to download adobe reader because my banks electronic statements can only be read by it. Even tho it is not my default reader Safari always tried to use it to read a pdf. I can't find any way to tell Safari to use Preview again without uninstalling Adobe Reader.
Thanks

I had the same problem with bank and some government (FAA) sites.
Without Adobe Reader installed, they either would not download or would download a blank pdf page.
With Aobe Reader installed, you can download to view in Safari, but cannot save on your Mac as a .pdf.
[When Adobe Reader is default .pdf reader it hijacks the Export PDF option, including using printer driver to print to file as .pdf]
Deleting AdobePDFVewer.plugin from /Library/Internet will work, but there are a couple of easier fixes than deleting and reinstalling the plugins:
You can switch the default viewer back and forth (including Safari's default viewer) by:
Right click on a .pdf file and from the context menu select Get Info > Open With: (select Adobe Reader or Preview) > Change All and close the popup to set selected app as default.
If you have to use Adobe Reader to view a .pdf on the picky site and decide to save it - don't try to use Adobe Reader to do so (via Safari).
Instead either:
1. Option click on the site's link to the .pdf to download to your default download folder.
- or-
2. Right click on the site's link to the .pdf and select either "download linked file..." or "Save linked file as.." and save to desired folder.
I am not sure if this will work in all cases, but so far it has worked OK for those I normally use.

Missing lables in the Top drop downs of the Adobe reader 9.5.1 after a deb install.

I just installed the Adobe 9.5.1 reader to get the added functions that are offered with PDF reading with the Adobe reader instead of the standard reader that is very slim in the additional functions department. The reader is working great but the advanced functions are only available if I have a Windows box close and I can see the functions under the drop downs. I was able to change from portrait to Landscape view just fine, as I knew the apporx location of the function on the drop down. Note the primary topic like :File:Edit:View... are visable only the lable content is missing.
Thanks

I have Version 11 in the Adobe Reader now. Now I can't open-password won't work

I have downloaded my new verison 11--now I can't open. Password won't work

Thank you for the message. That also tells us that you're on a Mac. The error is a strange one, -1712 means "timeout" and it's hard to think what will cause that. Some more questions. Please answer them all, or let us know if any of the questions don't make sense.
1. Can you open the Adobe Reader app in the normal way? That is, from Applications?
2. Can you open other PDF files, from web pages rather than mail? Here is one to try out http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/pdfs/ebxml_faq.pdf - it isn't to read it's just a test. What happens?
3. What is your mail app? That is, at the time of this -1712 error, what app name is shown at the left of the menu bar?

How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

hello,
i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
thanks.

The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature?

How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature? I've been using the signature feature for a while now and it works great and I'd like to use it on another computer. However, I forgot where I stored the signature. Adobe finds it with no problems (the signature pops up when I click "Place Signature"), but I have no idea where it is.

Hello,
It's here - C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security\
For more information, please refer - Cannot create a digital ID/signature

How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

How to transfer pc file to Samsung using the adobe reader app?

how to transfer pc file to Samsung using the adobe reader app?

I solved the problem. I manually created my own Adobe PDF folder by connecting the phone via usb to my PC, Windows Autoplay gave me the option to 'Open device to view files'. Explorer then displayed all the folders on the phone. I created an Adobe PDF folder manually and copied the PDFs I wanted to view into that folder. Adobe Reader then found the files without a problem. I clearly was missing something quite simple but something I'm sure a lot of people would miss. Perhaps if the next version of Adobe Reader for Android created this folder automatically, like Kindle and Kobo and other readers do, it might save a lot of people a bit of a headache.

How can I use the Adobe reader if the PDF documents are in iBooks?

The Adobe reader asks me to look for an "Open in" button but iBooks does not appear to have one. I like IBooks because it synchronises nicely with the computer, and I can read the PDFs but I cannot highlight, add comments or add bookmarks unless I use the Adobe reader.

Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks. You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

Does anyone know how to clear the fields between uses of a form used in Adobe Reader on an iPhone?

The iPhone app for Adobe Reader is automatically saving the form each time it is filled out. (Windows Adobe Reader does not do this.) This means that you have to manually clear each field before you can use the form again. Does anyone know a work-around?
Thanks,
