How to open a pdf format file in Java

I want to store the absolute path and filename of some .pdf file in access database, how can the user retrieve the path and filename? I don't know how to display it on GUI or start the acrobat reader to show it up. One more, can I store absolute path or filename in access database? can anyone give me some solutions? any help would be appreciate!

openPDF() throws Exception{
//path of acrobat
String acrobatPath = "c:\\Program Files\\acrobat\\AcroRd32.exe";
// path of pdffile
String filePath= "c:\\help\\Help.pdf";
// pdf file is the argument for the reader.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( acrobatPath + " " + filePath);

You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights

to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

I am new to Indesign Server.
I'm currently working on a pdf.
I have a white blank pdf template.
that I want to attach/glue it with images.
How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

We use a doc template to create a purchased part spec document and then save them as pdf formatted files. These part spec documents are also appended with the datasheets for these purchased parts. When we want to update/revise the document, is there a method, using Acrobat, to make those updates to the pdf, or must we go back to the doc template and basically generate a new document?
Also, our resulting pdf documents aren't searchable. How can we generate pdf documents that are searchable? I may want to search for a part value or name within the body of these pdf documents, but currently can't do that...very inconvenient.
Can you assist?

Not totally sure about the search issue. A lot depends on how you created the PDF and what is in the datasheets you attached (like are they graphics?). The doc portion should be searchable as long as you used print to the Adobe PDF printer or PDF Maker. For your use, it may be that the print is adequate. However, the result should be searchable (unless maybe you had a form with filled in fields and created the PDF with PDF Maker. I think the form data may be retained in form fields and the fields are not searchable. In that case, a print might be a better procedure. (it would help to know the versions of WORD and Acrobat as well as the exact process you used to create the PDF.)
If the appended data sheets do not change, then you might try opening the original PDF and then using Replace Pages to replace the file created from the DOC file.

Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

When trying to open a PDF format using Adobe XI I get an error message that there's a problem opening the document (57)

Hi chasore,
Are you still facing this issue?
Is this issue happening with all the documents you have. If yes, i would suggest try uninstall and reinstall. Or if the documents are located on some shared drive try to copy them on local machine and test again.

I am creating an Adobe PDF file using Save As in FrameMaker 7.0. (I have Acrobat Standard 8). The PDF creates fine, but I used to get the pdf to immediately/automatically open. Now I get the message "There was an error opening the pdf..."
I did select the option to automatically open the pdf in File > Preferences but it doesnt do it, Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Beth

Hi John Paul,
Do you get any error code associated with this error message.
Does this happen with other pdf files too or with that specific pdf?
In case it happens with that specific pdf, please get another copy of that pdf because the current copy might have got corrupted.
