Mouse events on a pdf page (javascript)

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to detect mouse position, movement and clicks events/infos from javascript at /app level on a pdf page.
Thanks in advance

is it possible that the user moves the mouse over the button area while keeping it pressed and my code gets x,y events of this movement? Can I have this with some other control ? (signature field?)

Touch to Mouse events conversion

Hi Everybody!
Does anybody know how correctly fire mouse events to Oracle Maps in javascript?
Default translation touch events in iPad Safari does not quite fit. It try zoom or pan browser window, not map. :(
If catch touch events and disable default translation I can zoom and pan MVMapView object.
But how fire "click","mousemove","mouseover" events on Map? I need dispatch event to ThemeBasedFOIs (InfoWindow Popup and other listeners)?

Yes. The Oracle Maps tutorial contains examples (the tutorial can be found in your mapviewer deployment
e.g. http://localhost:7001/mapviewer/fsmc/tutorial/index.html) and documentation in the API reference
(e.g. http://localhost:7001/mapviewer/fsmc/apidoc/index.html). Look at MVEvent and the attachEventListener function of MVMapView, MVThemeBasedFOI, and MVFOI classes for example.

How to get page number from the PDF using Javascript

Hi,
We are having list of Single page PDF. The pdf are named in the order,
ISBN_Author_01.PDF (with real page number as i)
ISBN_Author_02.PDF (with real page number as ii)
ISBN_Author_03.PDF (with real page number as iii)
ISBN_Author_04.PDF (with real page number as 1)
ISBN_Author_05.PDF (with real page number as 2)
ISBN_Author_06.PDF (with real page number as 3)
ISBN_Author_nn.PDF (with real page number as 500)
Here each pdf has a page number and in sequential order.
The task is to check whether all the pdfs are in sequential order (i.e i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3). If any page is missing, the script should throw an error report.
To do this task, I am writing a Javascript to get the real page number from the PDF.
Can anybody help me how to get the page number from the PDF using Javascript.
Thanks,
Gopal

The "real" page number within a PDF is the count of the physical page starting at 0, zero.
pageNum numPages
The number printed on each page is the page label.
setPageLabels getPageLabel
You will have to open each PDF and your script would need to know the page label for that file. I would expect you would need to build a 2 dimensional array of the file names and the page label for the page within that array.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

Pdf page generation in javascript

Hi guys
I want to find out a way to generate a pdf page for data taken from a javascript page.
I would be really obliged with any sort of help.
Thanking you in advance
Yogesh Edekar

You're here at a Java forum, not at a JavaScript forum. Those are two entirely different languages.
If you actually meant Java/JSP instead of JavaScript; the iText API is said to be a good Java API to generate PDF files.

Modifying a pdf page using Javascript

Hi all,
- I am having an html report that consists of many html pages.
- Each page of these html pages contains a table or more, in addition to some buttons that hides/display specific rows in these tables. And these buttons are programmed using Javascript.
I would like to convert these html files to a single pdf file.
My question is: If I converted the report to html, will my buttons work. I mean will my Javascript buttons hide/display table rows in the pdf pages ?
Thank you,
Moustafa

Even though there is some common objects, properties, and methods between Web JS and Acrobat JS, Acrobat uses some very unique objects, properties, and methods so there is no straight forward conversion possible. You would need to rewrite much of the JS and make form fields that could be manipulated. Also Acrobat makes static forms, so no dynamic re flowing of content would be possible.

Best way to view PDF page(s) with in a custom program

What is the best approach for viewing PDF page(s) in a custom program? I know you can hook in Adobe PDF Viewer, but I need access to mouse clicks and location on the page. As well, I need to control the scale and zooming of the PDF page(s).
I'm not looking to change the PDF file, but rather draw over top of the page(s).
Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction,
Shayne

Actually, Ive already implemented an interface after throughly reading all the Acrobat documentation on Javascript within the PDFs. Its functional but not spectacular. It simply uses the setField function to get and set the values to the Field objects. It do this by posting messages to and from the web page that is hosting the PDF object.
I was wondering if there is a better way. It needs to stay a thin-client interface - nothing besides PDF Reader loaded on the workstations. I am currently investigating the several other methods but was hoping for some guidance.

HTML/JS: Capturing mouse events while Air is out of focus

Hi,
I've been trying to determine if it is possible to receive mouse events (like MOUSE_WHEEL) if the Air window does not currently have focus. I'd like my application to support the mouse wheel for scrolling while the cursor is over the application, without requiring the user to click the application and gain focus. My application uses JavaScript to scroll an unordered list within a DIV set to overflow:hidden (to prevent the native scrollbar from appearing).
Thanks for your help!
Andrew

I doubt that AIR would pick up events fired while not having focus. Perhaps you could fake it by creating an AIR project that runs "fullscreen", but has a smaller active window. Anywhere your mouse went it would still capture the scrolling event, but you could conditionalize it so that it only worked in certain areas.

Inappropriate mouse event coordinates in the WebKit of HTMLLoader/StageWebView

Hi,
We have a desktp application which incorporates an HTMLRichTextEditor (implemented in HTML/JS and loaded into AIR).
We have run into a big problem with text selection though. It seems that the both the HTMLLoader and the StageWebView are passing wrong mouse coordinates to the WebKit when the cursor is outside of the component.
I've created a sample application which uses mx:HTML (which is a wrapper of the HTMLLoader) and a WebView class (a wrapper aroun StageWebView reference to which is given here).
The application is located here in Dropbox. The source code of the app is here.
The app was built with Flex 4.6 and ran in AIR 3.7
The sample app has a WebView which loads loremipsum and HTML loading some dummy local HTML page. The HTML page uses the JS->AIR bridge to report the mouseevents to a function in AIR. In the snapshot below the selection was started from the first row and then slowly continued to the left. As soon as it reaches the green area the selection changes unexpectably. As it can be seen in the bottom right -> the WebKit has received a mouse event with incorrect coordinates. The reported mouse coordinates seem to be the mouse coordinates within the green component and the selection behaves like that. If the mouse is moved to the blue - the selection changes again (according to the coordinates in the blue area).
The component which uses the StageWebView behaves in absolutely the same way.
I'd assume that I have to post a bug but I decided to post here at first.
I've tried a few workarounds in order to stop and ongoing selection or to change it's behaviour but none of them with any relevant success. Even disabling mouse children for the entire application has no effect on the selection once it's started.
Any help and/or comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks !

Thank you for the heads up. Do you know if this is a recent change in behavior with AIR (ie. does this occur in previous versions)? Regardless, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?
Once added, please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes and I can follow up internally.

Handling mouse events in JSP

Hi ,
I have to handle mouse events in JSP,means i have to handle the event
of the user i.e, if he press the lest click we have to handle that
event where he pressed it with JSP. Iam finding examples in Applets ,
nut i have to do it in JSP.Can any body help me please? it's very
urgent.
Thanks in advance
BhargavKumar.B

JSP cannot catch mouse events. You need a clientside language for that, such as Javascript. So catch the mouse click event in Javascript, get the desired information from it and send it as request parameters to the server, so that the serverside logic can intercept on it. You can use AJAX for that, if you want to do it asynchronously.

How to change pdf page in an iframe content automatically

I open a pdf in my web page with <iframe> and the pdf-option for example #page=2 equals week number 2 of a year.
How could I change the viewable page as a function of the actual week number of a year (#1 - 52)
At the moment my html code looks like:
<div id="tr-inside_anw2">
    <iframe class="org_pdf_anw"
    src="attendance.pdf#page=2"></iframe>
</div>
Is there a way to use a variable for the week number? or is it better to use a javascript "function dayofweek_iframe()"
which changes the whole iframe content?
Is there somebody, who know a solution with code? Thanks

Thanks, it worked on my Mac apps. But the problem is that the new numeration is not recognized by my PDF Reader on iPad (goodnotes), so numeration starts from 1...

PDF Pages to Artboards error

So, I searched the forums on opening a multi-page pdf with all the pages on art boards, found a link to download a script "PDF Pages to Artboards".
Once i downloaded it on my desktop i placed it in my dock (Mac), then dragged the multi-page pdf file over and dropped it on the icon on my dock... I then got an error window which read;
Adobe Illustrator got an error: Can’t get alias "Mark's HD:Users:Mark:Desktop:AKAI Product Sheet.pdf". (-1728) Event: doProcess(1, 100.0, 7, "acrossdown", false)
Script: application
I was hoping someone knows what this is, and if there is a solution.
Many Thanks,
Mark.

Thanks. I removed the spaces from both the script and pdf file, and moved the script file into to the Illustrator CS4 main file. Although im still getting an error window;
AppleScript Runtime Error
Adobe Illustrator got an error:Can’t get alias "Mark's
HD:Users:Mark:Desktop:Focus Industries:all that:3rd
Batch:AKAIProductSheet.pdf". (-1728)
Event: doProcess(1, 100.0, 7, "acrossdown", false)
Script: application
Not sure what that means, maybe you can get something from it.
Thanks again.
Mark.

Is there a way to respond to Doc/Open events from a folder level javascript?

I'm wondering if there's a way to respond to Doc/Open events from a folder level javascript. If not, is there a way to programatically add a Document javascript to a PDF upon/after export from InDesign?
Thanks-
Jeremy

Bernd,
Thanks for your reply. I take what you write to mean that I can add a document-level javascript manually once the PDF is exported. But this is what I'm trying to avoid.
Ideally, I want to respond to Doc/Open events from a folder level javascript, but I'm not sure if/how I can make an event listener with Acrobat JS. If I can't do that, then I'm looking for a way to programatically add a Document level javascript upon export from InDesign - not manually within Acrobat, once the PDF is created.
Any thoughts?

Resolved: The Install Badge requires a mouse event (?)

Edit:
I came across this page which specifies that the restriction of installing only within the context of user event handler is by design. Nuts.
===
Hi,
I've recently tweaked our application's install badge thru the fla provided with the sdk. All works well but apparently, calling the function installApplication from the loaded air.swf has no effect if the caller is not in the context of a mouse event handler. A Flash mouse event handler, that is, since calling from a js mouse event handler has no effect.
Without this restriction, it would be easy to use air.swf as an installation engine, keeping all the UI in html and allocating to flash only a display area suitable for notifications such as 'installing AIR'. This would greatly facilitate the development of installation pages, no longer restricted by the properties exposed by the badge swf.
Looking forward to a reply from the powers that be,
David

I'm trying to draw that way too but I'm not able to find the solution, i've searched long way from all docs and tutorials but it's not easy for a beginner. And the Apple's gesture drawing tutorial was "replaced" by a GL ES sample wich do not match my needing.
I just want to draw a line following the touch using drawrect and touchesmoved.
If anyone could help me i would really appreciate. Thank you.

How to extract part of a pdf page and save that as a pdf page on its own?

I need to extract part of a pdf page. I know how to extract full page, but that is not what I want. I need to extract part of it, ideally, using the mouse to select some rectangular area, and export the selected part to either separate pdf page, or to export to vector graphics such as .svg
Is there a tool to allow one to do this? Currently I take screen shot of the page, and use other tools to extract the parts I want. thanks.

thank you. The crop tools helps. But I am still not sure what to do after I select the area I want. I looked at Acrobat Help | Crop PDF pages
So, after I select the crop tool and select the area. Now what to do?
If I double click the cropped area, as the help says, it will just delete everything on the page except the cropped area.
How do I tell it to either export the selected area to .svg, or save the selected area to a separate one page pdf file? I do not want to modify the original PDF file, I just want to make a copy of the cropped area, either to .svg image, or to separate pdf file, so I can include that in another document.
