IE PDF plugin hides javascript menu

Hello, we are using ActiveReports to create report at our web
project. We use their PDF options, which create PDF file and simple
display it. We use IE 7 as a browser. And our problem is, that
client's PDF document viewer hides our Javascript menu. Did anybody
there have similar issue? I tried all CSS XHTML options but with no
success. What is interesting at IE6 it is working fine. Thanks for
your answer

How to control PDF plugin from Javascript?

I need to embed a PDF viewer into a webpage displayed on a special infokiosk withou a keyboard and a mouse. The infokiosk will have just five control button (four arrows and an OK button), which will map to corresponding keys on keyboard. It will be running a simple Linux system and Firefox browser as GUI.
This is exactly what I need to accomplish:
http://pdftools.atwebpages.com/embedPDF.html
However, it works only in Internet Explorer. I need this very functionality in Firefox on Linux. I have not been able to come accross any documentation telling me, how to do it. On the other hand I have found:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/interapplication.html
which mentions Windows and Macintosh, but does not mention Linux at all. Does this mena that I will not be able to control PDF viewer with Javascript under Firefox/Linux?

How to hide/disable menu items using Javascript in Acrobat 9 pro or later

We just wanted to know on how to hide/disable menu items for e.g. 'Open' menu item under 'File' menu in Acrobat 9 or later on Mac using Javascript. It would be useful if you could provide if any other option is in place already.

Not sure it will work, but you can try using the app.hideMenuItem() method. See reference here.

JavaScript in the PDF can hide toolbar buttons

Hi Leonard,
You mentioned in http://forums.adobe.com/message/2161074#2161074 that "JavaScript in the PDF can hide toolbar buttons."
According to the Javascript docs for Acrobat 7 the App.HideToolbarButton function only runs at AppInit. Which means that I would have to have the javascript in a file. How can I do that from within the document? Is there another way to to do set this from our web application?
Rob

Perhaps that's simply a feature that isn't supported by presenting a Captivate intended for the web from inside a PDF?
Just guessing... Rick

I accidentally hid the menu toolbar, now I can't find an option to unhide it, HELP!

I was trying to hide some pesky tool bars, I clicked view, then I clicked a toolbar to hide, I hid the wrong one, I hid the menu tool bar. Now I am totally stuck!
I don't know what version firefox, because the information is in the tool bar I hid. I can't get to tools or view or preferences or nothing.
Please help!
Windows 7 I think my firefox version is the latest.

Just right click the border space on the Navigation (url) bar and select Menu Bar again, or see this page;
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard+shortcuts&as=s
You may need to use Alt+F10 if you hid all of them like I did researching your trouble ;p
Even after using Alt+F10 you will need to go to View > Toolbars immediately and choose Menu Bar or Navigation Bar. If you do anything before then it seems to disappear.

How to Hide User Menu at the Bottom of the Screen

Hi, all:
I am new to apex, currently using 3.2.1.
I have created a simple interactive report, the screen shows report data correctly AND
a user menu at the bottom. the user menu content is:
user name
Home Application 101 Edit Page 1 Create Session Activity Debug Show Edit Links
how do I hide this menu when end user access the app?
Thanks,
John

Hi,
That "menu" is called developer toolbar.
It is visible only when you have login to APEX builder and run your app.
So it will not be visible for end users.

Printing a PDF via Acrobat Javascript

Hi -
I have a need to print a PDF programmatically, via Javascript. The PDF is embedded in a Web page. I use postMessage to communicate with the PDF.
I've created a simple HTML page with an embedded PDF, and a Javascript link to call my "Print" function. Here's a code snippet:
<body>
         <a href="javascript:doPrint();">Print</a>
         <object id="PDFObj" data="testPDF.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="400" height="400" />
</body>
In the HTML document's HEAD, I've added the following Javascript which posts the message to the PDF:
<script language="JavaScript">
        function doPrint() {
            pdfObject = document.getElementById("PDFObj");
            alert("Hello from Javascript...");
            pdfObject.postMessage(["Print", "Print"]);
</script>
Finally, I've added an Acrobat Javascript function in the PDF document to listen for the postMessage event:
function myOnMessage(aMessage)
    app.alert("Hello from the PDF");
     // print routines here
var msgHandlerObject = new Object();
msgHandlerObject.onMessage = myOnMessage;
msgHandlerObject.onError = myOnError;
msgHandlerObject.onDisclose = myOnDisclose;
function myOnDisclose(cURL,cDocumentURL)
return true;
function myOnError(error, aMessage)
app.alert(error);
this.hostContainer.messageHandler = msgHandlerObject;
Here's my problem: when I test this code and click the HREF Javascript link, I see "Hello from Javascript..." and "Hello from the PDF," so I know the postMessage event is working. However, I've tried every print command I know in the myOnMessage function, and nothing seems to work:
app.execMenuItem("Print"); // doesn't seem to work
this.print(); // doesn't seem to work, even when I pass in all the params, etc
I've also tried getting print params and passing those in, nothing seems to work. Am I missing something? Environement is Acrobat 9 Pro, browser's tested include Chrome 2.0, IE6. I've attached two files, the HTML bit and the PDF I'm trying to print. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have to be careful when using the ActiveX control to communicate with system functions like printing. Because it can be embedded in anything that supports ActiveX, some functionality is limited from being called from JavaScript as it may interfere with the host application.
Check out the IAC API Reference (also included with the SDK) and the methods under AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. There are some print functions in there (like PrintAll) that you can call on the ActiveX control directly, as in from your doPrint() method in your HTML page without using the hostContainer. You would basically just call:
pdfObject = document.getElementById("PDFObj");
pdfObject.PrintAll();
These methods were designed specifically to work with the ActiveX control when embedded in a host application, and can be used to print a PDF embedded in a web page.

Javascript menu problems in IE

Hi
I am using a javascript menu for a website I am trying to
build, I have tested it on many browsers and thought it was working
fine, it's fine on all the macintosh browsers, works fine on
firefox on the PC but there seems to be problems on some versions
of IE. Especially runing XP but am not sure about vista.
You dont seem to be able to see the menu when the page loads,
you can see something is there and the buttons show when you hover
over them, but they are kicked out of place.
here is the code if it helps

Gad. Ask the authors of the menu for help. Would you REALLY
use something
like that on a web page?

I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wro

I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

Missing Javascript menu items on Acrobat 9 Standard

I've been trying to get into some more advanced JS coding within Acrobat for forms, and I'm running into a bit of a roadblock in accessing the javascript tools. Specifically, I keep seeing references to Javascript menu items under the Advanced menu, but my Acrobat doesn't seem to have these at all. I also can't open the JS Debugger/console with Ctrl-J, but it will open if i put in a syntactically incorrect javascript statement and try to execute it (from a form field, etc).
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this? I found references online to this being an issue if Acrobat Reader is also installed on the same machine (it was), so i removed that, but the problem persists. I can enter javascript into an individual field, but i can't add a document-level script at all.
thanks

Sweet! I got it working. My function reads in the contents of a range (30+) of combo boxes and text boxes, does a little editing and then sorts, and then puts them back in the same range of boxes but with the blanks filtered out and in alpha order. I used a nested array and it worked pretty well.
The only thing i'm still stymied on is that it works perfectly for everything except if the textbox field is a number with a '+' in front of it (like +1 or +2200). It strips the + sign out, I'm assuming that's because of javascript special characters, but the escape/unescape function did not fix it. Doesn't matter if there are plus signs in the rest of the field, only at the beginning (and minus signs don't cause the same issue). I'm going to try manually escaping with quotes before reading into the array I think, but if you have seen this sort of thing before please let me know.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33 does not print correctly. Some text comes out all garbled but looks fine on screen.

I am using Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33. I can open PDF files and they look fine. When I print some of the test comes out all garbled - usually labels, notes at bottom etc. If I disable plugin then when I open PDF Firefox uses Adobe PDF reader to open file and then printing is fine. I have Adobe reader 10.1.5

I am seeing the same issue with Reader 11.0.1.36. Without the Adobe plugin enabled, no issue. Probably related to the type of font being used for the garbled text. There are many font bugs related to various fonts and various Adobe programs filed at Bugzilla. Looks like Adobe has some fixing to do with their Firefox / Netscape plugin.
