New window in Acrobat 9.3 Preflight

This week I began getting an unwanted window popping up on completion of Preflighting a document. It is called "Snap View" (IIRC) and I want to know how to turn it off. It's a nuisance I wasn't expecting and don't want.
Anyone else seen this?

I finally found out how to turn it off. It wasn't a Prefs thing after all but a button at the bottom of the Preflight window. I guess I must have clicked it by accident.
Not sure what value it has either since it never displays anything but a blank window with the message that there is nothing to view.
Problem solved.

New windows in Acrobat Pro XI are offset

When opening PDFs in Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac, each new window opens slightly offset to the right from the previous window, regardless of whether or not that window is still open. This means that slowly the windows disappear under various tool box windows I leave open on the right of the screen, preflight etc. Then I have to start manually dragging windows back to the left so that I can read the content. Not a big deal you may think but very annoying when you have to do it hundreds of times a day.
Is there any way to make document windows always open in the same place?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Dryck,
This is done by design to allow you to see other open files more easily. There's no way to change this functionality at this time. To your question of 'is there any way to make document windows always open in the same place, the only workaround is to click the 'Maximize' button on the title bar.
If you'd like to suggest an alternative to the way multiple PDF files open, our engineering team would love to hear some feedback! You can fill out our Feature Request form here: http://adobe.ly/WishForm
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

How to open form links in new window in Acrobat XI

Does anyone know how to have a link within a form open a new instance of a browser?

Answered through email:
Hello,
I don´t understand your problem. You have not tried the component mentioned in my replies, right? You have tried Launch URL component from WD Native. Because if you have, you would ask such a question. This component is a u201Cgroupu201D of a text field and a button. That means, that fits your problem completely IMHO. Place the component on your form layout, Set the presence of the text fox inside this Launch URL and you will see what address is being launch when clicked on the button.
You said you have your address in the text field. So this is the same. Just change the source where the button takes the URL from or copy the value from your form into this one.
Hope this helps.
p.s.: looks like you have absolutely no exerience with JS coding.
That means you need to read first and code later, right? Start here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_scripting_basics/lc_designer_scripting_basics.pdf

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?" I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes. Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing. In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
Thanks for your interest in helping!

Acrobat 9.0;PDF is black screen/want new window

Hello,
Two problems:
I installed Acrobat Pro 9.0 as part of Creative Suite. Now PDFs open as a black screen normally (with some opening as normal.
I use Mac with 10.8.4 and Safari.
Also, I want PDFs to open in a new window. It is frustrating for the PDF to open in my browser window.
Do I need to install Acrobat Reader? Doesn't Acrobat Pro 9.0 have a reader?
This is a new Mac. On my old Mac PDFs opened as a new window . . . it just did it that way.
Thanks for help,
JoAnn

Acrobat 9 may not be completely compatible with 10.8.4. Whether pdfs in a browser open in a new window is up to the coder of the webpage. Not Acrobat. If you right-clik on the url, you can choose to open the pdf in a new window.

How do I open a new window in Adobe Acrobat using the plugin sdk

I would like to create a new menu item that when clicked it will open a new window (e.g. winform). What I'd like to do is pull data from a server and interact with the user in that window. Basically show the user a list of PDF files to pull from the server. Once the user is done selecting which file to pull to have the file pulled from the server into the local drive and have it opened in Adobe Acrobat. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to invoke a winform or something like it to place my lists of files and UI controls. I've looked at the samples in the SDK and don't see anything that deals with this particular issue. I'm a newbie so I'm sure I'm missing something here. I tried creating a new WinForm in a sample example and ran into errors and the form is not functioning. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you Dan_Korn,
This suggestion is very helpful. I like the idea of creating the new functionality in the language/environment of my choice and simply call it from the plugin. The only issue I have is that when I start the other gui app from within the plugin I don't know how to communicate with it. I would like to do these things with it:
1. For the spawned off app to be able to tell Adobe Acrobat to open a file in a certain location.
2. For the spawned off app to exit if Adobe Acrobat is closed.
3. Also if the spawned off app closes for the handles to it to be desposed of and cleaned up to avoid leaks.
Any ideas on the easiest approach to the above behaviors?
Here's my code so far in the plugin:
void StartApp1()
          STARTUPINFO info={sizeof(info)};
          PROCESS_INFORMATION processInfo;
          if (CreateProcess(NULL , "myexe.exe", NULL, NULL, TRUE, 0, NULL, NULL, &info, &processInfo))
                    ::WaitForSingleObject(processInfo.hProcess, 0);
                    CloseHandle(processInfo.hProcess);
                    CloseHandle(processInfo.hThread);
          else {
                         AVAlertNote("Couldn't luanch the exe");

I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?

Acrobat Pro 7: right click option to Open in a New Window

Hello,
We are using Adobe Acrobat Pro v7, and we oftentimes like to view PDFs in separate windows. To do this, the first file can be openeb by double clicking thefile in Explorer, and for subsequent files, we just right click on the PDF and select Open in a New Window. This works perfectly fine; however, not everyone has the right click option to Open in a New Window. The DO have the same version of Acrobat, but just not this functionality. How do we go about getting this right click context added for the others? Thanks.

Yes. Everyone is on Windows XP SP2.

Acrobat Reader starts in new window

Hi,
When a PDF document is opened, it it opened in a new Window. I want to open it in 'frame'.
It occurs not only in web-apps, but also in GUI transactions like SNOTE.
As far as I know, this is set in the reader: Preferences > Internet: open in browser activated.
But switching it on or off makes no difference.
(I have full local admin rights on my client, there is no company setting or thin client concept in place)
I'm using acrobat reader 8.1.2
Any idea how I can open PDF in frame?
Regards, Toine.

Try activate "Open in browser", save and restart your computer.

Slava

Acrobat Pro XI frequent crashes when using New Window feature

As a lawyer using Acrobat Pro XI to review legal documents, I find the New Window feature invaluable since it lets me view different parts of the same document at the same time. However, when I use this feature I encounter frequent crashes, more often if I insert a comment in one of the windows. Inserting those comments are very important to me. Is there any way to avoid the crashes while using the New Window and Comment features together?

New Window - No Toolbars

Thanks to everyone who's been so helpful on this board, especially try67, who seems to be a pervasive source of wisdom on all things Acrobat scripting related.
I have scripted the addition of a button to the Acrobat toolbar which, when pressed, copies the active document to a network location. It then opens a second PDF, which will ultimately be a form that accepts user input by way of radio buttons, drop downs, text fields and other standard UI elements. This form, when submitted, will create a JDF file (essentially a text-based XML file) to the same location as the PDF, and will then close.
(For those interested, I am automating hot folder submissions of PDFs for preflight, color processing and RIPing to a fleet of large format color inkjets and small format color lasers. The JDF file is being created for cost accounting and inventory management, and to control output options. The PDF and JDF are picked up by PowerSwitch, sent to an instance of Pitstop Server and Alwan CMYK Optimizer, and then to a Fiery XF RIP for the inkjets, and standalone Fiery's for the small format lasers.)
What I'm wondering is, what is the best way to open this PDF form in a new window, with no toolbar, menubar, or window controls?
A few notes:
I have configured the PDF form document to open without window controls manually by setting "Hide window controls" in the Document Properties > Initial View settings. This works.
I have also enabled "Hide menu bar" in the Document Properties > Initial View settings, but this does not work. The menu bar is still displayed.
I have not enabled "Hide tool bars" in part because Acrobat will not allow for all three options to be selected, apparently for security reasons. That said, even if I do select it (by disabling one of the other settings), the toolbar is still displayed, I believe because my script is adding a custom button to it, which causes for it to be visible again.
I am a little hesitant to use the Initial View settings to accomplish all of this. Is there some way to write a script that would live on the document that would hide the menu bar, tool bars and window controls?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Matt

This is probably a silly question, but do you have Flash
Player installed?? =)
well i dont know why you can't view the link.. but anyway..
im quite hopless with javascript, and i have been searching
the net for a code that MAKES a browser window ALWAYS open without
toolbars.
I found plent of codes that make it open FROM A LINK.. but
none that simply force the browser to open without the toolbars..
do you know a code that will force a browser to always open
without toolbars? If not, do you know any other sites that deal
with JavaScript?
I have been at:
dynamicdrive.com
javascript.com
javascriptkit.com
kirupa.com
and afew others i cant remember, including afew forums too.
i can't believe this is so hard to find.. =(

PDF-Portfolio: link doesn't open a document in a new window

Hello,
i use Acrobat 9 Pro on Win XP SP3.
I will use a link from a maindocument into a PDF-portfolio to another Portfolio document in the same file.
But the (linked) document should be open in a new window.
I can customize the option: targetdocument open in a new window, but this option/function doesn't work.
The document will always open in the same portfolio-window.
(Create link with link tool>add action>go to a page view in another doc> set link> edit action> open targetdocument in: a new window)
sorry, for the description, but i have only the german GUI.
Is there a change to use a JavaScript in the link?
Thanks for response, maikro.
