How to operate 3d model in adobe reader from external program

Is it possible to operate 3d model with adobe reader from external program?
Such as selecting a spefic node of 3d model and and highlighting it in adobe reader.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Irosenth,
One thing I am still not quite sure. Do you mean I can use "Acrobat 3D API" to create the plugin? But seems the "Acrobat 3D API" only works with
Acrobat Pro Extended.
That means the plugin will not be able to work with adobe reader. Is that correct?
Or do you mean any other API which work with the reader?
Thanks.

Looking for expert who can highlight 3d model node in adobe reader with external program

I need to select and highlight 3d model node in adobe reader with my program.from outside of adobe reader. it seems there is no out-of-box API in stndard SDK. I want to outsource this task fully or partly. If you have the solution or able to provide consultant in this area, please send message to me.

You would indeed need a plug-in to actually select and highlight but you can easily call attention to a part by temporarily changing the color via JavaScript which you can access from external applications.
I can provide more specific advice if you explain the exact user interaction you're looking for. Is this a desktop application? Is the PDF in a browser? etc.

How can I send instructions or keystrokes to an open Adobe reader from another program?

Hi Gurus,
In my previous question I opened the Adobe Reader as a help file.
Now consider the case that my help.pdf file is already open on page 100 but the context sensitive help of the next dialog is on page 50. What can I do if I do not want to close the Adobe Reader and reopen it again?
I suppose that the user has not closed the needed file and opened another one.
How can I force the curson jump up to the input field of the page number, and fill it with "50" and send an [enter] to it? Or how can I send a "Ctrl+F", a sought word and an [enter]?
TIA,
Regards
Ferenc

How to add comments to parts on a model in Adobe Reader 3D

How do you add comments to parts on a model in Adobe Reader 3D.
I want the comments to only appear when the user selects the part of the model.

If a link starts with http:// then Reader will recognize it as a link and will make it clickable.
Reader will not recognize an email link. To make it a link you would need to use Adobe Acrobat's link tool or would have to create an email link in the original application use to create the document and convert the file to PDF leaving links intact.

How do I transfer adobe reader from a desk top computer to a laptop

how do i transfer adobe reader from my desk top to a new lap top?

You move it as you would move any other data files or documents; nothing special about PDF files.
Easiest way is to copy them to a memory stick.
Another way is to upload them to Files or Workspaces at Acrobat.com

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

How to test a plug_in without Adobe Reader Integration Key?

I havge a project to create a plug_in for acrobat reader with Adobe Acrobat 8.1 SDK. I also apply for the Adobe Reader Integration Key, but I have not it by now. But deadline of the project is coming, is there any one who can tell me how to test the plug_in without Adobe Reader Integration Key?
I also have another question, does the plug_in I make with Adobe Acrobat 8.1 SDK can be compatible for all the version of Acrobat reader, such as 7.0, 8.0 and so on? Thank you.

You test the plug-in, as well you can, using Acrobat. You also build
it using the preprocessor options to build a Reader plug-in, so you
don't accidentally use an API not in Reader.
If you are saying, is there w way around the Integration key for
testing in Reader, the answer is no.
Different Reader keys and tools are needed for each version of Reader.
You will probably not get a key for an old version of Reader.

How to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0

Can you please tell me how to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0 with all the filled details

You cannot buy 8 or 9.
In X (10 - which you can't buy either), you can do File > Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features.
Important notes:
1. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Once rights are added many kinds of editing are permanently locked out.
2. THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS on the number of people who can save a form. Details in the EULA: check it carefully (or have a lawyer check it).
Also note that Reader XI can save forms with no special preparation.

New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS. However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete.
According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
(It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

Dev question: how to prevent Adobe Reader from copying pdfs to "Download/Adobe Reader"?

I am making an app that downloads pdf files from a server and the users can decide to store them in the phone. Those files are kept in the app's private storage.
The pdf files can be opened from inside the app. The problem is that every time a pdf is opened, adobe reader copies it in "Download/Adobe Reader" (the path may be different depending on the device and the android version). Those pdf files should not be available from outside my app. How can I prevent adobe reader from creating copies in that folder? Do I really have to make my app track them down and delete them? It wouldn't be the safest solution...
In order to open the files, I se up a content provider:
from the manifest:
<provider
    android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="com.example.myapp.fileprovider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
</provider>
And then, in a method, I do this:
File pdfToRead = new File(pdfPath);
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.example.myapp.fileprovider", pdfToRead);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : appsList) {
    String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
    context.grantUriPermission(packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
openPDF(context, uri);
public static final void openPDF(Context context, Uri localUri) {
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.setDataAndType(localUri, PDF_MIME_TYPE);
    context.startActivity(i);
Thanks for the help.

Meh, I just hoped there was a way to tell acrobat "don't create a copy of the file because it's private". For now, I'm detecting the "downloads/Adobe Reader" folder, look if there's the file that was opened and delete it.
Now I need to know something that I can't ask on stackoverflow: what paths does Adobe Reader use to create the "Adobe Reader" folder? Because not every device has an external sd card (external, not removable. Just for clarity). In my device it's at "Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)+"/Adobe Reader".

How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

An other way is to copy the pdf with Windows explorer into the path /documents of the phone. Open Office and choose Adobe Reader. The pdf will be copyed in the Sandbox of the Reader and You may read it. You may delete the PDF in the documents path. It will still be in the Readers sandbox. All without any cloud ;-)!
