How to open a pdf in its native reader in iOS using AIR?

Hi there,
I am wondering if there is any feasability of opening a pdf directly in its native reader in iOS environment. I needed this to happen from an AIR application.
I have found that AIR can be extended using a java program to do the above task for Android.
here is the link: http://www.jamesward.com/2011/05/11/extending-air-for-android/
Thanks in advance,
Sris

Thanks everyone for the solutions.
After working all the possibilities to open locally saved file on iPad
1. StageWebView
2. navigateToUrl
3. file.openWithDefaultApplication();
4. Java socket extension for AIR,
I finally found a solution.
StageWebView works on ipad.
the code that works is as suggested by xperiments.es.fr
But the problem I faced was saving the pdf and opening the locally saved file.
Since iOS does not support desktopDirectory & documentDirectory, I tried to save the pdf in applicationDirectory/applicationStorageDirectory, that didnt work when I tried to open the pdf from those locations.
So the only way was to store the generated PDF in a temporary directory and StageWebView could locate and load that
It works!!!
Now the next challenge is, while the desktop (Windows) compilation of the app shows PDF reader with menu options, which does not show on iPad app. IPad app shows just a page index on left-top corner. It would be good if the options are shown as well.
Lets see!!!

How to open the link in new firefox window for web desktop based application? Or how to open the mail/website/rss link in new firefox window

I am using the firefox 3.6. My problem is that I am using the web desktop and few web desktop based application directly opens link. If I click on rss link than it opens in same window, so no longer access to web desktop. I want to open any kind of link in new window instead of same window. I have tired to change the value of browser.link.open_newwindow, browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction but doesn't work. Also gone through the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.open but not sure where to do this in web desktop based application or firefox where we connect the web desktop?
Is there any way to open the link every time in new firefox window?

Hi Joseph,
the HTMLB link object misses the support for onClientClick through the tag lib, see hbj:link without onClientClick ? and OnClientClick Event for Link HTMLB Component for similiar problems and workarounds.
With this workaround, you can call for example an AbstractPortalComponent, implement doOnNodeReady (with an empty doContent method) and return the PDF, settings the content type on the http before etc.
Hope it helps

How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:

I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.

Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights
management, use protected PDFs via LiveCyle/ Acrobat Connect or learn how
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.

Open PDF in New External Window

Hi
how to open a PDF Report(File) in new IE Window from WebdynproJava
Regards
Dhinakar

Hi,
         If the PDF document is in the server then we can show that in the external window onClick of the button.
Write this code in the onAction button event.
try
byte[] content =this.getByteArrayFromResourcePath("<server path>\Guide.pdf");
String stResourcePath = new String("<server path>\Guide.pdf");
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(content, WDWebResourceType.PDF);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL()," document");
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
window.open();
catch(WDURLException ex)
catch(IOException ex)
Paste this code here:
//@@begin others
private byte[] getByteArrayFromResourcePath(String resourcePath) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
       FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(resourcePath));
     ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     int len;
     byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
     while ((len = in.read(part)) != -1)
               out.write(part, 0, len);
               in.close();
               return out.toByteArray();

Open link (PDF) in new window from WebHelp custom skin button

This question relates to my work with FM>RH integration. But the task I'm trying to accomplish is something specifically done in RH with customization of WebHelp skins, so I'm posting in this forum. I'm running RH9 on Windows XP Pro.
We have recently replaced WebWorks with RH and finally have the mapping files set up to generate Help from our FM source files. Celebration was short, because then we realized that our users wanted a PDF option. We haven't done any mapping to create PDFs from RH, and that seems kind of silly anyway, since we have superior PDF generation from the FM files.
So I set about making a custom button in the header of a WebHelp skin that will link to a PDF. I accomplshed that work, but its behavior falls short of the functionality I'd like to see. Currently, you click on the button and it opens the PDF in the browser window of the Help system. I want it to open in a new window, so I can keep the experience clean for the users, separating Help and PDF. I don't know if this is possible.
Here is where I am at. To create button I navigated to:
Project Set-up/Skins/NEW SKIN/WebHelp Skin Editor/ Main/NEW BUTTON
When I choose the edit icon to customize the new button, there is an option to choose Link or JavaScript. I got the PDF to open inside the Help browser by just using the Link option and specifying the PDF. I have tried to use the JavaScript option without success. My JS may be wrong, but when I choose inline JS option and place anything there, it turns all the navigation buttons to gobbledy ****. Specifying an external JS file doesn't work at all.
Any direction or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Douglas

I see one other shortcoming with this solution now that I've implemented it. Our Help follows the applictions through a convoluted path of development servers, amongst other strangeness with the way we deploy Help and PDF documentation. My concern is referencing a single URL/file on a server. Since we're moving things around, that doesn't really work well, we want the PDF to be with the Help system, if possible. Is there a way to reference the PDF as a relative link in the baggage files, so it will pull it from whatever server the Help system resides on without having to make changes?
UPDATE:
It seems if you place the PDF in the WebHelp folder and reference it as the JavaScript, the Help system automatically reats it as root folder and find it there. So, I think this is the solution to my question? However, this is a bit annoying, as it means you have to remember to manually place the file in the compiled Help system. I had earlier experimented with placing the PDF as a baggage file, but those don't seem to carry over when you compile Help. Is there any way to put the PDF in the Baggage Files and designate that it be included in compiled Help?

How to open a pdf from a button in Flash

Good Afternoon All,
I am working in CS4.
AS 3.
I am putting together a self-contained Flash presentation. The presentation and all linked images/files will be contained on a flash stick.
I need to know how to link to a pdf that will be on the flash stick and have it open directly in reader when clicked. I've tried the following AS:
on (release) {
getURL("myDoc.pdf", "_blank")
and it does work, but opens the pdf in a browser window version of reader as opposed to just reader...if that makes sense.
Any and all help is appreciated.
THanks.
Geno.
