Launch an attachment from SWF embedded in PDF

Goal: To launch a PDF attachment from the embedded SWF (in PDF).
Scenario: I have created a PDF with a SWF embedded in it and I have few attachments also in the same PDF. Now based on some user input I want to open one of the attachment in the PDF.
Question: How do I open an attachment (in PDF) from a SWF embedded in the same PDF.
Any help will be a big help :).
Cheers !!

First, you can only do this with Acrobat 9. Older methods for embedding SWF's didn't allow for this level of communication between the SWF and the PDF.
Second, to do it, you would add some ActionScript to your SWF that would use the hostContainer methodology to connect to the PDF and then use the appropriate JS methods.

  • How to extract Chinese text from font embedded text PDF?

    This is actually font embedded text PDF (Used: type 1 fonts & custom encoding) and not scanned PDF, however I am unable to extract the "Chinese language" text properly and found only the garbled text when "Copy & Paste" (or save as RTF). Kindly refer the sample PDF attached for your reference.
    Kindly advise how could I solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance for your better solution.

    As I was unable to upload the sample page PDF in my original thread, I have shared now in the following path. Kindly look into this and guide me how to extract the chinese text as UNICODE text.

  • Will SWFs embedded in PDFs play on iPhone\iPad?

    Hi
    I've been developing a portfolio PDF which uses some Flash features, but with the way things seem to be going for Flash esp. its omission from iOS, I wondered whether this was a good idea for maximum portability esp if potential employers are viewing my portfolio on an Apple device.
    So here's the key thing - will Flash files embedded in a PDF play correctly when viewed in Adobe Reader for iPhone\iPad i.e. is the Flash playback functionality contained in Adobe Reader, or does it rely on the Flash player installed in the platform?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Lori - Embedded swfs do not play on the mobile Reader.

  • How do I launch an attachment from my email?

    I am trying to open a pdf attachment. It used to go to my download file. Now it goes into email heaven. Is there a setting I need to fix?

    Wirth an iOS device you have to first go to the app that has the item you want to attach. When in that app you then select the email option for sharing.  You can't start from the Mail app.

    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

    I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
    Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process,  compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
    Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.
    What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
    generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
    another one I have.
    When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
    Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
    ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
    introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
    the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
    outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
    So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
    default from Acrobat or any other software ?
    Thank you for your next message.

    Hello Ram2910
    You should be able to view them natively within iOS. If you can view them in safari and want to save them, then download iBooks or search for other apps that can view and save them.

  • How do you keep embedded documents during conversion from Word 2007 to PDF?

    Windows 7, with all available patches.
    Word 2007, with all available patches.
    Acrobat reader 9.3.2
    I have additional documents, spreadsheets etc embedded into a Microsoft Office Word document. When this document is converted to the PDF (using the Word PDF add-in interface) the embedded objects can no longer be opened and only appear as images. 
    Is there a way to retain the embedded document during the conversion so that they can be opened from within the resulting PDF?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks very much for your repsonse, it's much appreciated
    I don't have Acrobat X installed at this time so am not able to create or edit PDFs (other than from Word).  I understand that creating a PDF from Word may not be an Acobat issue per se, but thought that someone on this forum may have experienced a similar problem, hence thought I'd try my luck here
    I will do as you suggest and try an MS forum
    Thanks again

  • Pdf attachment from mail to ibooks?

    thanks guys

    I have the latest version of iTunes with iBooks, and it doesn't have anywhere to drag PDF files into iTunes. Where are you seeing this? I tried every imaginable PDF, include a text document, I printed to PDF from textedit, then dragging it into the pane of grayed out books in iTunes.
    What gives?
    Here's a screenshot:

  • Unable to play SWF media embedded in PDF

    Hello,
    Adobe Reader does not play SWF media embedded in PDFs, if SWF version is higher than 6. I get the error "The media clip cannot be played in rhe manner that the author intended. You may need to upgrade your player software or install new player software".
    I have installed Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and Acrobat Flash Player 10. Acrobat Flash Player plays all my SWF files without problem in Firefox browser .
    If I change version byte to 6 in the SWF media,  Reader happily plays it.
    Best regards,
    Angelina

    Does the ICM script make it through the SendtoVRU node successfully?  If so then on the gateway run
    debug http client error
    term mon
    This will show you any issues that are actually happening with playing media......
    Does the router call log on the AW show any error that you can paste?  Paste a screenshot of the ICM script maybe?

  • Launching Air Help from PDF?

    Hello all,
    We have a AIR help application that is installed with our software. This help app has many bookmarks in it and our application can open it in a context sensitive way.
    We are considering creating a "quick start" guide as a .PDF  that, instead of being a reference is more of a "how to". However, it would be really nice if we could make links inside that .PDF to launch the AIR Help application in a similar way to our application.
    I'm not an expert at Acrobat or AIR, but rather the programmer who wrote the code to launch the help from our application (which is written in C++). Could somebody point me in the direction I need to look in order to launch our AIR Help from the .PDF? I see there's a way to add a javascript link, but all the JS code I've seen seemed pretty cumbersome if one were to attempt to add it to every single contextual link. And given that they are both Adobe products, I feel there must be a more built-in way to do this.
    Thanks for your time!
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    I was wondering if you have figured out how to launch Air Help from a PDF?
    I am having to do the same thing but not having much success finding a solution.

  • Launch Internet Explorer from PDF instead default browser chrome

    Hi
    I want to launch IE Browser from PDF links rather than any default browser like chrome etc.
    Is there a specific way that PDF links can be create for above requirement?
    Thanks

    Not possible. URLs are delegated to the OS which does with them what it's
    set up to do.
    The link itself (and Acrobat/Reader in general) has no way of interfering
    with that.

    Was able to uninstall acrobat (version X) and now laptop back to normal.  Tried installing version XI, but same thing happened again.
