How to launch PDF in Acrobat from AIR app?

I'm porting an AS3 app to AIR -- one of the requirements is that an external PDF file be launched with Acrobat -
I know that  AIR can display PDFs internally, but it's too late to change project specs. 
I was using fscommand and a .bat file (this will be run on Windows), but that won't work under AIR.
I am currently using navigateToURL() and using the AIR-resolved url -- this opens the PDF in a browser -- I'd like to have it open in Acrobat.
Thanks for any help -- this is critical to finishing project.

This won't work on files in the application directory?   It's not working for me --  The PDF is bundled into the AIR app --

    How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud  ?
    Thanks !!

    pierreswaggy,
    If you have a PDF document opened in some other app on your iPad/iPhone, you can use the "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    For iPad, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
    For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 or 8 version)
    If you have PDF documents on your Mac or Windows desktop/notebook computer, you can use Acrobat.com (cloud storage) to share them with your computer(s) and mobile device(s).
    On your Mac/Windows computer
    Open a web browser.
    Go to Acrobat.com (https://cloud.acrobat.com).
    Sign in with your Adobe ID.
    Upload your files to Acrobat.com.
    You can also use the desktop version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open a PDF document from Acrobat.com or save to Acrobat.com.  Please check the File menu or the toolbar for the options.
    On your iPad/iPhone
    Launch Adobe Reader for iOS.
    Go to the Reader home screen.
    Tap My Account (in the lower left corner).
    Sign in with your Adobe ID.
    Tap Acrobat.com in the left pane to see the files on Acrobat.com in Reader.
    If you have a lot of large PDF documents on your computer, it would be easier and faster to transfer them to your iPad/iPhone at once (instead of one document at a time) using iTunes.
    See How to transfer PDF documents from your computer to your iPad/iPhone.
    The documents transferred to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes will appear in the Documents section.  Because they are stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.  Please note that any locally stored documents will be erased by iOS, if you uninstall (instead of update) the Reader app.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions or any problems.

  • How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old PC to my New PC?

    How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old Laptop to my new laptop?

    You have to deactivate and uninstall on the old system and then reinstall on the new system. Whether it works depends on the Acrobat version (looks like you indicated AAX) and OS. You need to be sure to update after the new install. Just transferring files like you imply you want to do is not possible with almost any modern software. The software not only loads files, but sets all sorts of registry entries that would take a lot of time to find. In the past there were some programs that supposedly tried to move programs, but I have not seen mention of one in years.

  • How to import SQLite .db file from AIR project

    hi friends..
    how to import SQLite.db file from AIR project. and i want use this in my application.
    after importing can i update and delete the recordS?

    There's no import needed. You just open it using the AIR SQL APIs. If this database file was created outside AIR, it's not necessarily compatible, though. There are SQLite features and extensions that aren't supported in AIR.

  • How to add pdfs n movies from my PC without creating ne library

    How to add pdfs n movies from my PC without creating ne library... Does iTune has ne converter tht can convert movie into format that iphone can play..

    That's easy, while connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. If your iPod shows up ok in iTunes you can change it to manual from there.

    It all depends upon the apps. I would expect you can email it from one app. How you get it into the other depends upon the app.

    How I remove my credit card from my Apps Store Account??
    I want to avoid unwanted purcharses from my nephew.... Someone can help me?
    I know it's possible to "upgrade" one account adding credit card, I can not find a way to remove it.

    you can't from the iPad.
    Go to iTunes on a computer, log in with your apple ID and select 'account'.
    After that , select 'payment method' and select 'none'.
    Good luck
    PS: reply if you're having trouble. You use mac or windows?

  • How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

    How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
    I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
    So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

    Hi Andy ..
    no longer have or use
    If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
    For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

  • How to remove my credit card from the App Store

    How to remove my credit card from the App Store

    I used a pre-loaded credit card so when it ran out i had problems, primarily because it wont let me download or update anything until the "billing problem with the last transaction" was resolved. I dont really care if the purchase goes through but i want to be able to update stuff again and it wont give me the option to select 'none' under payment type. do i have to put another card on there just so i can "resolve the billing problem" and then i have  to take it off again or is there a way around this or is it a never ending cycle?

  • How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

    How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

  • How do you clear completed updates from the app store after downloading is complete?

    How do you clear completed updates from the app store after downloading is complete on iOS 7.0.2?

    You don't. It's how things are done now, likely to accommodate those that have auto update turned on.  IT's been said that the updates will just drop off after a period of time but  time will tell on that.
