How to read PDF files on your iphone in book format

Hey everyone, I just posted a tutorial on how to read pdf files like ebooks on Stanza. Let me know if you have any questions
http://budurl.com/u4tz
That used to drive me crazy until I figured it out. Enjoy

an easier way would be to wait until iOS 4 and then download the free iBooks app... you can import via the file sharing feature in iTunes (same that the iPad uses), or open the file from an email using the "open in" feature currently found on the iPad...

How to Read PDF Files Programmatically in VBA behind Excel

Office 2010. Is there any API or other tool available for Excel 2010 that would enable me to open a PDF, read it line by line (and examine the text on each line) from VBA code behind an Excel spreadsheet? I have Acrobat Pro 9 as well. Is there an API or other tool that would enable me to CREAT a PDF from VBA code behind an Excel spreadhseet?

Reader, no.
Reading PDF:
Acrobat has an API but it is complex to use. PDF files are not divided into "lines" so this requires guesswork, fuzzy logic, and luck as well as detailed study of the Acrobat SDK.
Creating PDF:
You can Print to Adobe PDF programmatically. Limited functionality. Acrobat SDK describes how to suppress prompt.

Solaris 9...how to read pdf file?

Hi experts,
I just install Solaris 9, but I can't open any pdf files, I don't know the acroread program exist or not?... Who can recommend me something?
Thanks

Well, the acroread command is boundled with Solaris 10, not with Solaris 9, however it can be easily downloaded from adobe.com.
If you are running a quite recent Solaris 9, there should also be a program called ghostscript installed, this program can display ps and pdf files, try:
/usr/sfw/bin/gs your_pdf_file.pdf
Best regards,

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

How can I read pdf files in linux?

I know the pdf files can be read by Adodb acrobat,but i can not find the software for linux,How can I download the similar tools ?
Thanks for advance.

You can download AcrobatReader fro Linux from adobe.com like the versions of rother OS'es.
however if you want a nicer UI than Acrobat consider using gv with ghostscript. They might already be installed on your system, since they are part of most Linux distributions.
It's worthwhile to upgrade Ghostscript to the most recent version, othervise you will be unable to read pdf files that utilizes the newest fads from Adobe.

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 ;-)!

How to remove the entries of the names of the previously read PDF files in order to not to leak privacy

Bear in mind that the files will ALSO be in Windows or Mac's recent document list, and even if they weren't, the files will still be around and available. If they are not available, then just the name may not be much of a security bit (unless the file is called my_secret_bid_for_ibm.pdf or some such).
