Is there a way to control Adobe PDF plugin from within a Web Application? For Example, Can we highlight text in the PDF/A document programatically?

Hi,
I am trying to open a PDF document in browser using Adobe PDF plug-in for IE 9. The plugin version is 10.x
I need to highlight certain text in the PDF document ( which is searchable) programmatically. For example, when a user selects certain text on the web-page, we want to automatically highlight that in the PDF document.

I don't think this is a question one can answer by simply downloading the SDK. And even if one reads all the documentation (it rarely happens for obvious reasons), it is not easy to reach an answer because its explanation is not trivial at all.
In my own opinion, this is right the type of question to be put and (hopefully) answered in a Forum.
Now, I am not sure about the correct answer but I will give one hint.
If I am not wrong, the Internet Explorer, IE, PDF viewer by Adobe is actually a .dll file which is put under IE once Adobe Reader is installed. A custom plug-in for Reader or Acrobat is also a .dll file (Windows) but its extension is .api and it needs to be copied under Reader or Acrobat (or both). Therefore, I don't see how we can merge the IE viewer .dll with a custom plug-in .api. Though maybe technically possible, I don't think it is something we can do.
If above reasoning is correct, the answer to the question is No.

    How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text
    editor' capabilities.  BTW: Bluefire and Overdrive also have such
    limitations.  Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the
    ebook, as you would be presented with a physical printed book.

    Hi,
    If you are using a third Party hosting like Gadaddy, than this cannot be done using Muse webform, but you can use jotform (or many available over the Internet) to create and insert the form in your Muse site. Please check the link here

  • Can't highlight text in a PDF

    I have the following problem, which I don't understand.
    I need to read some texts for my UNI, but to it is it to print too much paper and ink consumption above to see.
    So, I decided as a PDF to leave and read this. Only, I can not unfortunately mark diestellen which I consider important, why, does is nothing when I use the texmarker. No colour to see and also a tool for the intensity of the color displays. What is it and what do I do now?
    Please help me.

    Hallo Yoyoko,
    das tut mir Leid, vielleicht beschreibe ich meine Vorgehensweise Schritt für Schritt:
    Zum Öffnen, der pdf-Datei benutze ich den kostenlosen Adobe Reader XI.
    In der Menüleiste ist das eingestellte "Auswahlwerkzeug" zu sehen,
    damit erst kann ich per festgehaltener linker Maustaste ausgewählten Text oder Bilder markieren.
    Was auch funktioniert ist dieses Menü:
    Auch mit meinem Adobe Acrobat XI Pro funktioniert das so.

  • Is there any way to create a bookmark in safari that automatically creates itself for every user/account that logs into the computer?

    I am currently trying to add in a bookmark to Safari that will be automatically created on every account on the Mac.
    Is that possible? Or is the only way to do such a thing, to have to add it to each and every Safari on each individual account?

  • Logic Pro X - Is there a way to convert a sample kick from audio to midi ?

    Is there a way to convert a sample that you drag into logic pro for example im using a sample kick for a dance track, and want to use it as MIDI because it a **** of a lot easier to edit than a audio file, is this possible?

    Not exactly.
    This site explains MIDI in a straightforward and eay way:

    But for a "solution" of sorts, you can use the EXS24 to sample the kick.

  • Is there a way to control "push" page transitions when using up/down keys to navigate a PDF?

    I have a multi-page PDF designed with push page transitions. When using the forward/back arrow keys or the interactive buttons I have designed on the page, the push navigation direction changes whether one is moving forward in the PDF or back. However, if I use the mouse scroll button or up/down arrow keys to navigate, the push navigation only animates from the same direction...and therefore makes it look as if the user is only moving "forward" in the book. Is there a way to control this effect more precisely?
    I am creating the document with InDesign CC 2014, adding the page transitions within the file, and exporting to interactive PDF using the setting "Page Transitions: From Document".

    I don't think the iPad has it in it to control another device. Unless there's an app for it to be a remote control, but I'd imagine that it woudl be very brand specific.
    You can certainly experiment with the VGA or HDMI adapters, but I wouldn't put total faith in them unless you had the ability to experiment prior to your presentation. I'd definitely have a backup plan.

  • Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

    Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
    Hi,
    I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
    When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
    Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

    Our organization uses an Oracle database hosted on a Unix platform and one of our data processing outputs is a “stuffer” document that has a barcode, and Unix jobs automatically send the document to a printer.
    Is there a way, or does Adobe have a product or solution, to create a PDF version of the document including the barcode, before it’s sent to a printer?

    What format is the document that is printed? Or what technology is used to format the printer? There isn't a standard way of doing things in Unix.

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • Is there a way to add Adobe Reader directly to my website for legal documents?

    Is there a way to add Adobe Reader directly to my website for legal documents? It is on Wordpress. [link removed by moderator]

    Technically, you CAN embed a pdf so that it opens within the page. Use <embed src="http://yoursite.com/the.pdf" width="500" height="375">
    But you'll want to test it with all browsers (assuming this is something you are trying to accomplish).

    I cannot create a catalog because everywhere I try on my computer, it comes up with cannot Lightroom cannot create a catalog on network volumes.  And is there any way to contact Adobe directly?  Would you be able to give me a phone number and/or email address?@@

    The short and direct answer to your question about catalogs on a network drive is that you can't do that. The catalog must reside on a local drive.

  • Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections on Database Mail?

    Las week Rackspace started controlling the number of concurrent SMTP connections and we are now getting the following message when we send as little as 15 messages at a time using Database Mail:
    Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: 4.7.0 smtp13.relay.dfw1a.emailsrvr.com Error: too many connections from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
    We are using SQL Server 2005 and Windows 2003 and we have been doing this since 2006 with no problems
    Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections used by Database Mail or the Database Mail external executable DatabaseMail90.exe?

    Hi rkohler,
    Usually, we can use the Database Mail Configuration Wizard or the Database Mail stored procedures to determine the server name and port number for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server . In the SMTP server points, we can set or increase the number
    of concurrent connections.
    There is similar issue about database email on SQL Server 2005, you can refer to the following post.

  • Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

    Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
    First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
    Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
    The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

    Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
    It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?
