New reader in web browser

Hi,
I've noticed the reader in web browsers has updated. It now has a dark gray background and offers some overall controls to the end-user.
Here's the problem. I've uploaded PDF in which I set an email link from within InDesign. I tested the PDF in regular Acrobat Pro, and the link works.
When uploaded to the web; it is not acknowledging the link in the active browser. It only does if I manually download the PDF. Now, it's just giving me the text cursor line vs. a selection arrow.
Any ideas? I just need to ensure it will work for the public.
Thanks!

Detect if fillable form is open in Acrobat (as opposed to Reader or web browser)

I have a fillable form that is Reader Extended (so it can be saved from Adobe Reader). After a user fills in the form, he clicks a submit button that sends a data stream to a servlet. The servlet embeds this data as XML in another version of the form, converts the form to be PDF/A compliant, and returns the new PDF/A form with embedded data. That all works fine when the fillable form was open in either Reader or a web browser. But if the user has the fillable form open in Acrobat when he clicks the submit button, the embedded data is stripped out of the PDF/A form that's returned by the servlet.
It's not a problem if the user fills in the data while the form is open in Acrobat, as long as he closes the form and opens it in Reader or a web browser before clicking the submit button.
Is there a way to detect if the fillable form is open in Acrobat (perhaps in the preSubmit event?) so I can display a message warning the user to save and close the form, and then open it in Reader or a web browser before clicking the submit button?

I added the following code to my submit button, but it gives me the same appType and host.name values for IE and Acrobat, so I can't tell them apart:
var
viewerType = xfa.host.appType;
var
viewerName = xfa.host.name;xfa.host.messageBox("Viewer is "
+ viewerType);xfa.host.messageBox("Host is "
+ viewerName);
viewerType is Exchange-Pro
viewerName is Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat 6 and Adobe Reader 9 Web browser problem

Good Day,
I have a user that has Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 installed on the same computer. Acrobat 6 is used to edit (via open with -> Adobe Acrobat) while for normal reading, they use Adobe Reader 9 (since some files that were created in Acrobat 9 cannot be opened with Acrobat 6).
From the desktop, everything works as it should. However, the problem is that when the user is trying to open a document on the web (from Internet Explorer 7) then instead of using Reader 9, it uses Acrobat 6 (and because is unable to open Acrobat 9 files) it gives an error saying that you need to have Adobe Reader 8 or 9 installed.
So far I have tried the following:
1) Reparing Reader 9
2) Uninstalling Acrobat 6 running a repair on Reader 9 (which fixes the problem, until I reinstall Acrobat 6 again. I make sure I do not put a check mark on Read files on Internet Explorer)
3) Went to Preferences on Acrobat 6 and unchecked Display PDF in browser.
4) Checked on Manage Add-ins and tried disable any combination of Adobe PDF addin to make it work only with 9.
Note: Reader version is the latest 9.4.1
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Max

Ok, so after I wrote the last post, I read through the related posts, and found the answer to
what i was looking for.
I guess it is unofficial, but I tested it today and works great:
Registry that needs to be changed is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Change the path (Acrobat 6) from "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat6\Acrobat.exe"
to the path of Reader 9 which would be something like "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
That fixed the problem.
Thanks

Adobe keeps crashing, you can be on a web page reading and the browser opens the page in a new browser. I did not have this problem the older versions. What can I do to fix this problem.

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Brand new Yoga 2 11 - Super slow web browsing

We got a new Yoga 2 11 this morning, and the web browsing is excruciatingly slow, whether using IE, FireFox or Chrome. The only downloads or installs of any kind have been IE & FF.
Based on searching this forum, I increased the minimum processor power to 65%, but that was only an incremental improvement. Some page loads are still taking over a kminute, and an attempt to proceed with a page that isn;t full loaded (i.e. a login), just crashes everything. I ran SpeedTest, and the download and upload speeds are all 3x that of my work machine (a Latitude that is about three years old)...but the Latitude has "normal" load times.
The only other observation I have is that it seemed better behaved before the Windows updates were applied, but there was maybe only 15 minutes of use there, not enough to reliably establish a baseline.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might be missing? This might be going right back to the store, as it's not really an inprovement over the 3 yr old Asus netbook, which is less powerful than most phones...

Well in general, Ideapad computers have driver issuess.
If you like we can try teamviewer and try to fix your issue.
Teamviewer does not need to be installed. It will give me temporary access into your computer to fix the issue. When the issue is fixed, simply delete the program. Anyhow, once you close the program, the password is reset and the ID blocked until next launch. I also figured a 1 day old computer has nothing important on it. So if you like, I can try to eliminate the hassle for you and try to fix the computer.
Should you feel uncomfortable with anything, you can close the program at any time.
Based on the speed test, I doubt it is an internet problem. I am thinking software problems.

Possible to read data from a web browser into java?

Is it possible to read data from a web browser such as IE or Mozilla into a java applet for use and manipulation? If it is, could someone please post some documentation I could look at or a snip-it of code I could use? Thanks.

This will read the content from a site:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
class Test {
     public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
          URL u = new URL("http://www.google.com");
          URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
          String text;
          while( (text = br.readLine()) != null ) {
               System.out.println(text);
}

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.OK. I followed the instruction and the problem still persists.

I got the following pop-up when I tried to open an online PDF file:
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
Hope that helps!
Michael

PDF-in web browser - open link in new window

I've done a lot of searching for JavaScript code to solve this: if a PDF is being viewed in a web browser, and the user clicks a link in that PDF, the default is to have the linked page replace the original. I would like it to open a new window in the browser. E.g., if there is a link in the PDF to abc.com, then when the user clicks that link, the original PDF stays open and a new window opens to abc.com. Any help?

In the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference look up the app.launchURL() method. The second parameter is a boolean value that describes whether or not you want the URL to open in a new window.

Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New 'Super Cookies' That Track Private Web Browsing

Further to the article "Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New ‘Super Cookies’ That Track Private Web Browsing" https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-users-cant-rid-super-180500863.html, is there a solution to resolve this security issue?
Here's an excerpt from the above mentioned article;
"Apple users are particularly vulnerable, as their devices do not have a function that lets users delete super cookies from their browsers.
Most websites place what’s called a “cookie” on visitors’ computers, which is used to track them and record their preferences. It’s how websites can remember your password, for example. Like your web browsing history, they’re easy to delete. If you use your browser’s “private browsing” mode they’re never saved in the first place — and advertisers can't track you, and other computer users can't go back and see what you looked at.
However, a flaw in a modern web security feature called “HTTP Strict Transport Security” (HSTS) allows websites to plant “super cookies” that can be used to track web users’ browsing habits even when private browsing is enabled.
Here’s how it works.
Security researcher Sam Greenhalgh writes that HSTS “allows a website to indicate that it should aways be accessed using a secure connection that encrypts your communication with the site.” This “flag” is then saved by your web browser, ensuring that any future visits to the website are secure. But this can also be abused, using this feature to store a unique number that can be used to track your web browser.
And because HSTS carries over into private browsing, it means the “super cookie” can be used to track you whether you’re attempting to cover your steps or not.
Greenhalgh says that Apple’s Safari web browser is especially vulnerable to the exploit. While clearing cookies on Mozilla’s Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera also erases HSTS flags, deleting the super cookies, there’s no way to do so on Safari on iOS devices.
This means that if you’ve had super cookies placed on your iPad or iPhone, there’s effectively no way to get rid of them short of reformatting the entire machine."

Hi all,
I tried this with IOS 7.1.2 Safari on an iPad retina and the super cookie did not persist after web data and history was deleted.
I also tried this with IOS 8.1.2 Safari on an iPhone 6, and the super cookie persisted even after deleting web history and website data.
Evidently it was ok on 7.1.2 and broken on 8.1.2.

Reg key to set PDF opening in Reader and not the web browser

Is there a reg key which would apply to all users/computer (not just current user, Hkey_user) to set a variable that would open PDF's in the actual Adobe Reader program and not in a web browser.
I only find references to reg key's that apply to the current users logged in, but unfortunately I work in an education facility and we use Dynamic user id's which creates a new user each time in windows, and then removes the profile on logout
Thanks in advance,

Would you suggest downloading the Adobe Customization Wizard and creating an MST file to distribute the app? If so, do you have documentation on where to change this setting?

              for (int i=0; i<browsers.length; i++)
          cmd.append( (i==0 ? "" : " || " ) + browsers[i] +" \"" + url + "\" ");
                  rt.exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", cmd.toString() });

so please suggest me the way to do it....
Thanks

.

you can open browsers new window using jdic...
unfortunately Desktop.browse() doesnt allow to do that, but we can do that another way:
        String urlToOpen = "http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5236723";
        BrowserService browserService = (BrowserService) ServiceManager.getService(ServiceManager.BROWSER_SERVICE);
        try {
            // exactly "_blank" allow to open necessary url in a new window :)
            browserService.show(new URL(urlToOpen), "_blank");
        } catch (LaunchFailedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
