IFrame Transperancy over PDF in HTML

I have a requirement to set transperancy to the modal popup over pdf. Now every thing works well in Google Chrome but as Internet Explorer is widely used Browser all the over the world, I wanna make it work in IE as well.
As you can see in the screenshot 1, I have a modal popup over pdf which looks beautiful.
Now see the screenshot 2 when i set transperancy to modal popup its totally become whitish.
Now see the screenshot 3 its working properly in Chrome which is exactly what i want to behave same in Internet Explorer. I have read out that google chrome has its internal pdf viewer so its working in Google Chrome.
I am setting transperancy using Jquery library here is the code
$("#pnlSpecialInstructions").fadeTo("slow", 0.5);
$("#iFrameSplIns").fadeTo("slow", 0.5);
If anyone want to see what i have tried till now you can check from this fiddle link : Click Here

Number of things with this.
1. IE may be the most widely used browser, but just barely anymore. Besides, a lot of people who are restricted to it at work also have (without any way to enable them) scripts and ActiveX blocked by an I/T department, to save them the hassle of constantly reformatting and reloading people's workstations. Using a jquery plugin which IE will block to display a PDF is probably not the best idea if you want everyone to be able to access it.
2. I don't know if you're using (#2 in the world) Firefox's latest build (v.21) but since v.20 they have a built in PDF viewer and it won't properly display your PDF (which has nothing to do with the modal pop-up - they screwed up their design) so in order to be able to do anything with the PDF, the visitor will have to download it and open it in Reader or Acrobat, where your modal pop-up is now out of the equation.
Until IE becomes more javascript friendly, to the point that employers will allow people to run scripts, and until Firefox gets their act together and actually builds a PDF viewer that will view all PDFs, you're going to be fighting a big battle with the top two browsers in the Internet world.
Aside from all that, since this question is about tweaking a javascript for PDF viewing in specific browsers, it really has nothing to do with Reader.

What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?

I'm doing some research for a client whose company is moving from PDFs to HTML for their in-house user interfaces.
What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?
Thanks!
Luke

PDFs can indeed work with data and can be programmed with javascript. You can do some pretty interesting things with it. It is even possible to create interactive forms on the web using PDF, however it requires server-side support. As a general rule, though, PDFs are terrible as a web interface and it's far easier to work with HTML and PHP.
HTML is lightweight and PDF isn't (in case that seems like a small thing, it's actually a big negative for PDFs). The success of your PDFs will depend on the versions of acrobat your users use, and getting data in and out of the PDFs will require learning far more about Acrobat's FDF format and XML implementation than you may want to know.

The drop-down menu is not rendered properly with iframe where a pdf is embedded

I want to embed a pdf in a webpage, where the drop-down menu needs to be displayed on the top of the pdf. I am using iframe to embed the pdf.
The drop-down menu is not properly rendered (border-radius and box-shadow) in Firefox at http://mysite1.webege.com/test.html.

*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779435 bug 779435] - the drop-down menu is not rendered properly with iframe where a pdf is embedded
It is usually best to attach a minimal test case to the bug report. 
In that case the code doesn't get lost if the page is removed from the server.

PDF or HTML for mobile Technical Documentation and Newsletters

Hi,
I've been reviewing the pros and cons for PDF and HTML for mobile technical documentation and newsletters and wanted to get your honest thoughts on this.
Here's the scenario:
I need to create mobile technical documenation and newsletters that are interactive, i.e. video, commenting/annotating, links, forms, etc.
Given how the mobile publishing market is rapidly evolving, what is the most practical format, (with minimum format issues) to use for both short term and long term? PDF or HTML? Why?
Based on your choice, which format would you use for non-interactive documents that offers the most creative options and usability? Why?
Paul

Hyper Text Markup Language ( HTML ) is going to work better. Mainly because the way mobile is setup, the interface has to conform to the device and with the other elements coded into the interface, HTML is far better. You keep referring to usability, so even in non-interactive scenarios in mobile documentation, you're better off using HTML.

A working method to load local PDF and HTML files on iOS

I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and I'm hoping this post saves someone time. Some of the information that's been posted in other locations is either wrong, incomplete, or might only work on Android. By the time you read this message the information here may no longer be accurate, so here's the testing environment:
Window 7
Flash CS 5.5.0
AIR 2.7.0.19530, which was compiled on June 28, 2011
iPad 1, version 4.3.5 of iOS
Let's get started.
On iOS, you load external PDF and HTML files using the StageWebView class.
On Windows, StageWebView works but the HTMLLoader class is a better choice if you're creating a desktop app.
You can also load HTML files by reading in the file's text. The information in this post is only for loading external HTML files.
StageWebView will not load a file that's in File.applicationDirectory. All files bundled in your app are placed in File.applicationDirectory, which means you'll have to copy any external file you wish to load with StageWebView to another directory.
So where can you copy your file? File.applicationStorageDirectory won't work. File.documentsDirectory does work.
Several people have recommended copying to a temporary file using File.createTempFile(). This works, but there's a catch: it seems that, like Windows, StageWebView relies on a file's extension when determining how to load it. When you create a temporary file on iOS using File.createTempFile(), the file will have no extension (and on Windows, File.createTempFile() creates a file with the extension .tmp, which is equally problematic).
The solution to the file extension problem is to rename the temporary file by appending the original file's extension. AIR currently does not have a <file>.rename() function, so you'll have to do it using <tempFile>.moveTo().
Here's some code I've successfully tested several times on both iOS and Windows. The file is copied to the temp directory. The file's extension is restored by just slapping the original file name to the end of the temp file.
 private function loadExternalFile():void
 var webView = new StageWebView();
 webView.stage = this.stage;
 webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, 1024, 555 );
 // Works with either html or pdf files.
 // These are stored in the root of the application directory.
 var fileName:String = "euei.pdf";
 //var fileName:String = "euei.htm";
 var sourceFile = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( fileName );
 var workingFile = File.createTempFile();
 try
 sourceFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
 // You have to rename the temp file
 var renamedTempFile:File = workingFile.resolvePath(workingFile.nativePath + fileName);
 workingFile.moveTo(renamedTempFile, true);
 webView.loadURL( renamedTempFile.url );
 catch (err:Error) { }

I tried this with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 4.0 SDK. Any pdf loaded simply fills the viewPort with black. Also tested with a png version of the pdf and that displayed just fine.
What's the purpose of copying to a temp work file? I found that webView.loadURL( sourceFile.url ); gave me the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

How to read text from PDF and HTML

I have got solution to read text form .txt file but did'nt get code for PDF and HTML.
I dont want to convert PDF to txt.
Please help me ...

reading from a file is always the same. using the same strategy used for a .txt will allow you to read a .pdf file.
Offcourse in itself it will be useless becuase pdf files have a special internal structure.
html files are identical to txt files.
What are you trying to accomplisch with the files you are reading ?

I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles. These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML. To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read. Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight. Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database: the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature. While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items. Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight. Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight. As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them. Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight. This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items" (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results. When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step. A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed. Is there a way for Automator to do this?

Hi,
With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
"I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
Project specs:
                    - 1920x1080 sq pix (16:9)
                    - 25 fps
                    - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
Please give it a look.
Thanks,
Jef

Generate pdf and html(urgent)

can anybody tell how to generate pdf and html from a single report,
thanks in adv

From a single report, you can generate outputs to html, htmlcss, pdf, rtf, XML and text formats.
If you use rwclient, rwrun or rwservlet methods, specify desformat=pdf/html and the destination file name in desname command line parameters.
If you use Reports Builder, open a report, select File->Generate to file and select html/pdf. Then give the file name.
For more details, Refer to Reports Tutorial / Publishing Reports document from this site.

Hi Guus,
We are not using the new authorizations we are still on 3.5 authorization and we tried for an user with SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW authorization , so i am not sure if this is an authorization problem.
We have a new issue on hand, initially i was able to broadcast thru xml,mhtml, xml formats, yesterday our portal was down, when the portal was brought up, i found that even the ones that were working were now throwing an error.
I spoke with the basis person, and he told me user mappings were lost, but even after restoring the user mapping were restored we still have the problem.
If this error is caused by lack of new authorization, atleast we know what we are dealing with, but for now iam not sure if this error is due to authorization or some settings on the web server side.

Photosmart C6180 prints too many copies of PDFs and HTML-documents

Hi,
My Photosmart C6180 prints multiple copies of documents even if I haven't asked for it. This seems to only apply to PDFs and HTML-documents, I haven't seen it happen with Word/Excel. It's not consistent, it happens most of the time but now always for these documents. When I look at the console, when it has started printing I see shortly the status "Printing - Restarting". That's probably when it starts the 2nd copy. Sometimes it stops by itself, other times it seems to be looping and I have to turn the printer off and delete the document from the queue.
HP solution center SW is updated, I run Vista with latest service packs on a Thinkpad T400s.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

My C6180 printed multiple copies of any document from my Vista OS laptop ( wireless connection ), but not from my
XP OS desktop ( USB connection), even though I selected 1 copy on the print menu. Unchecking "Enable bidirectional support" in the Properties / Ports dialog box solved the problem. Hope this helps someone too.

Issue with Exporting Pdf as HTML

Hi all,
I am trying to Convert a PDF to HTML using the "Save as Other -> HTML(Web Page) in the File menu, After Conversion I see some of the characters that are present in Symbol Font are not converted properly(Eg a text 8.7 appears as ""). instead of numerals. Any thoughts on this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Srini

I can't see this working very well. Even if it exported a correct reference to the symbol font, people who view the converted page probably won't have the font and won't see the symbols. You can perhaps replace them with graphics.

Export pdf to html/txt/xml

Hi,
I downloaded "adobe acrobat x pro" for trying the "save as"/export functionality to xml/htm/text etc. and the result was exactly what I was looking for in terms of output, keeping formatting etc.
However, I am building an application which need to have an embeded library in order to do pdf to html/txt/xml conversion on the fly keeping formatting.
I have tried a number of libraries for pdf to html/txt/xml conversion an none of them deliver anything near what adobe acrobat x pro does in terms om keeping format/tables etc.
So, my question is how can I get access to the "save as"/export functionality in adobe acrobat x pro in any official adobe library, sdk, service, product etc. since I assume acrobat x pro does not expose any api for convert functionality or may be used serverside?
Best regards,
Rick

It sounds like you want to use Acrobat as a web service. Rather than pursue this route, you may want to note that such a use of Acrobat is not permitted under the license. Thus it may not worth pursuing. Why convert to HTML is a possible question anyway, at least on a regular basis? On occasions I can understand the need.
For programmable features you should probably check in the SDK forum.

Export pdf as html by Acrobat 9.2 on windows 7

Dears,
i have a problem with exporting pdf as html by Acrobat 9.2 on windows 7.
after exporting, images and text may have wrong positions or wrong width and height of the images.
is the problem in the compatibility between acrobat 9.2 and windows 7 ?
what can i do ?
Thank you in advance....
amt

thank you, but i think that i can get 90% representation of the pdf,
but that didn't occure,
also i saw examples for some tools which can do that, but for pdf version 1.5 and i think that is on old windows too.

Exporting a PDF to HTML without OCR

Hi All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X to export PDFs to HTML files. It looks like the HTML conversion runs an OCR process on the document before the HTML page is written. This is resulting in a lot of images not showing properly because the OCR process strips out the text and puts it in the body of the HTML rather than recognizing that it should be part of the image. I had used Acorbat 9 to convert to HTML in the past and this was not an issue.
Is there any possible way to disable the OCR portion of the HTML conversion in Acrobat X?
Thanks,
Teri

Hi Teri,
Edit > Preferences > Converting from PDF > HTML. Click 'Edit Settings..' and uncheck 'Run OCR if needed'.
