How to open pdf from an url into an acrobat control for vb

I have a vb requirement like this:
We have pdf files generated on a server and put in path like http://servername:port/pdfReports/report.pdf
Desktop applications need to show these files.. we have an acrobat reader control on one of the forms and trying to load the pdf.
We want this to be implemented for clients who have older versions of pdf readers like ver 5, 6, 8, also.. not just 9
opening a file on the control like below works.
objPDF.LoadFile "c:\temp\test.pdf"
but network paths or http paths dont work.. what methods should be used ? and can anybody provide some sample code in vb if available.. so it is easy to understand dependencies.
Thanks,
Harish

There is no support for direct opening of an http/network-based path in the control. You need to use a standard web browser control instead and give it the URL for a PDF.

How to open pdf from a dvd

My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6. How do I get access to pdf from a purchased dvd guitar lesson(s)? It says when i insert the dvd my computor will show me how. I have put in the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, which is the required program it said but there is no response. My forum name is Sentercal thank you.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello Sentercal,
Are you sure you have Adobe Acrobat (Reader) installed?
Also when you say if you put the DVD into the player, it will show you how. Is the DVD supposed to play a video when inserted and its not doing anything?
If this is the case, can you go to Computer and run the DVD from there or explore the contents to find the PDF files to open?
If you find the PDF files and they still do not open with Adobe Reader, then you will need to contact the seller of the disc to find a solution. It could be the files on the disc are corrupt or the disc is bad.
Also you can play or open other discs without problems, correct?

How to open pdfs from 2006?

I have an automotive technical manual from 2006. The program will launch from Window XP but it will not open specific documents. I have Reader X. Is there a compatibility issue for docs that were released in 6.0 or 7.0?

Can you tell us step by step what you are doing and what heppens when you try?
You should be able to open PDF documents from older versions but from the information given, it'd be tough to figure out what's going wrong. More info = better.

Opening PDFs from gMail account in iBooks

I've previously opened PDFs from gMail messages using iBooks but today, for some unknown reason, I cannot open any new PDF file attachment larger than 200k.
iPod Touch 8GB (2nd generation) using iOS4.1- Still have 5.7GB available so I'm not sure why certain size files won't open.
I've even tried using Safari w/ gMail account - In both cases, as soon as I try to open the PDF attachments w/ iBooks, the display drops out without transferring to Ibooks as it used to do.

Tried resetting - No joy.
When I tried to open the attachment w/ "iBooks", the iPod switched to iBooks and an "Untitled" file showed on the bookshelf momentarily then the display dropped out and returned to the "Home" screen. No joy there.
Even tried opening w/ "Quick Look" - Again, no joy. Just a dropout and back to the "Home" screen.
Looks like I may have to do a total reset - Now iBooks loads w/ "Untitled" file displaying and then the display drops w/ a return to the home screen - In the process of total reset as I write this - Will update after I do a restore. - Its going to take at least 2 hours for reset/restore operation.

How to open -pdf in a secure environment

Opening PDF files from a secured account on Internet (e.g. telephone billing info) does not work. in Safe as the file is shown as _pdf (underscore instead of dot). We suspect this problem started after installing CS6, but are not sure. Win 7, IE 9, Reader XI

PDF on a regular website can be opened and downloaded. However, PDF on a secure website (https) looks normal with normal icon but double click gives screen for open / save / save as. ‘Open’ gives no result, no error message either. ‘Save’ or ‘save as’ shows screen with filename ending on _pdf, which cannot be opened or saved, no error messages either. Changing the filename into .pdf gives the same reaction: nothing happens, no error messages.
The same files can be opened on a different PC win7, IE9, Reader XI and similar software, but without CS6.

Unable to open pdf from some particular shared folder which is not in domain

Encountered a strange issue here.
We have copuple of users who login with Citrix session.
They are able to open pdf from all the shared folders but not one which is not in domain.
User are able to open all other files viz. doc, excel, notepad and so from that particular folder.
Issue with all the pdf files and not only one particular file.
Double clicking the pdf file starts the process AcroRd32.exe but the file does not open.
If an already running AcroRd32.exe process is there (means if Adobe Reader is already open), then it's possible to open the pdf files from that folder.
Moreover, came across one strange thing.
I created a shortcut to one of the pdf file from that folder within the same folder.
And it was possible to open pdf file from that shortcut but not directly :S
Gives error: "Acrobat failed to connect DDE server" after about 20 mins if we try to open file directly.
Googled a bit and found that issue can be resolved by navigating to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application and changing the Key "AcroviewA10" to "AcroviewR10
But when I navigated to the mentioned registry there was no AcroviewA10 but instead it was just Acroview.
Adobe Reader version: 9.5.5
I will be really grateful if somebody can provide solution for this.

What happens when you open the Adobe app, then tell it to open the file?
How big are the attachments? There are limitations to the size allowed to be sent:
Email Provider
Size Limit
Gmail
25Mb
Outlook
20Mb
Yahoo
25Mb
Are you sending the files to yourself? Not sure how you are emailing files from a website...
Are the PDF's password-protected, or some kind of copyrighted eBook perhaps? Can you email other files successfully, or are PDF's the only files that don't work?
Perhaps using a free Cloud service as an intermediary might work better.

Open PDF from database in a browser and run Javascript within PDF

What we're trying to accomplish is to query a PDF in the database and open the PDF in the browse. Once opened if a user click on a link to open another PDF, it launchs a URL to Coldfusion, that queries the database and opens the PDF link. This all works but we also want to have the open PDF goto a section or bookmark within the PDF. We currently have JavaScripts within the PDF links that do that but only if the PDF is in the file system. We're using the app.openDoc to get a reference to the opened PDF. But when opening the PDF from the database we pass the control to Coldfusion using app.launchURL or app.getURL. These do not pass back a reference to the opened PDF and the JavaScripts fails.
I'm looking for different methods or ideas.
Is there another way to do this, I'm new to acrobat JavaScripting?
Thanks, Rob

I tried tapping and holding the attachment icon, it just shows "Open / Bookmark/ Copy"...
Also i tried opening the attachement first and then tapping on it, it just shows "open in Safari"
Is there any settings to be done to add the options of Opening in Adobe Reader/or any other Docu Sign app . the exhibition booth systems one would work i think
Appreciate if someone could help

How to open pdf files in browser using flex

hi,
my project is having a Document explorer wchich contains pdf
files,iwant to open it in the browser.can any one tell me how to
open pdf documents using flex programming(i tried with different
thing like swf's but my client wants only pdf formatt).

Another option is by calling a JSP page. This example will
open a pdf file into a new browser without displaying the download
"save" prompt.
Function to call the JSP:
private function downloadFlyer(event:Event):void {
var jspLink:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("jsp/downloadpdf.jsp?fileName=Fundraiser_flyer_2008.pdf");
navigateToURL( jspLink, "_blank" );
JSP code:
<%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
//Get the parameters
String downloadFileName=request.getParameter("fileName");
String fileName = application.getRealPath("/downloads/" +
downloadFileName);
File file = new File(fileName);
if (!file.exists()) {
throw new IOException("File does not exist.");
// Get the size of the file
long length = file.length();
// You cannot create an array using a long type.
// It needs to be an int type.
// Before converting to an int type, check
// to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
throw new IOException("File too big.");
response.reset();
response.resetBuffer();
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "filename=" +
downloadFileName);
//Prevent the Java error: "getOutputStream() has already
been called for this response"
out.clear();
out = pageContext.pushBody();
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
try {
int curByte=-1;
while( (curByte=in.read()) !=-1){
output.write(curByte);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
} finally{
output.flush();
in.close();
response.flushBuffer();

How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

Can't open PDFs from Outlook Access denied

We are trying to open PDFs from Outlook in Reader XI. Even after disabling protected mode, continue to receive the message "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". Any suggestions?
Thanks

A. Fix One PC
Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader X
Go to: Edit > Preferences...
Click on "General" in the left pane.
Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
You will prompted with a dialog box to remind you to close the application for the change to go into effect. Click Yes.
Click OK to save your change.
Exit Adobe Reader
B. Fix Several PCs in Your Organization
Following the above steps aren't practical if you have Adobe Acrobat installed on 1,000+ computers in 30 regional offices! Push this registry setting using your standard software deployment software.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000

Acrobat reader XI cannot open pdfs from IE9

My pc has IE9, windows 7. After I installed Acrobat reader XI, I can no longer open pdfs from a secure website. Can anyone help?

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?
