On click of a PDF, the pdf has to open up in a new acrobat browser.

Hi,
I have an application developed in AIR.  The application has dropdown/drill down menus . The first Drill down menu reads say "XXX" and on click open PDFs in the application. Right now the PDFs open directly inside the application itself. My requirement is to  launch the PDF in  acrobat from AIR and open these PDFs in acrobat rather than directly opening them inside our application itself.
Please help me in finding a solution at the earliest.
Regards,
Kris

Look at the File.openWithDefaultApplication() method.

  • No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

    No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

    Thanks Pat for your interest.
    Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
    Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

  • When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this

    When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • How can I know the name of the file that the user has currently open ?

    Hello
    I'm developing a module for x3dv.
    http://hiperia3d.blogspot.com/search/label/X3DV%20Module%20For%20Netbeans
    I am going to add a button to open the files when I click it.
    I just need to know how can I know the name of the file that the user has currently open in the editor. What variable holds it in Netbeans?
    Thank you

    If you are using the JFileChooser to open the document, I would create another class with this included:
    //initiate class variables
    private File f;
    //create JFileChooser
    JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
    fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
    fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY)
    //set the chooser to initialise File f with the file selected
    int status = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
    if (status == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
         f = fc.getSelectedFile();
    public File getFile()
         return f;
    }

    the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
    1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
    2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
    3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
    4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
    5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
    I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

  • Reader X failing on Save and Save As, after the form has been opened for  longer than an hour.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or maybe can offer a solution. I have several Dynamic XML forms designed in LiveCycle ES2 v9 that since our ministry switched to Reader X have been failing. At first, the save button greys out (even though new information has been inputed) and the form will only save as. Then the save as function will start to fail if the form is left open.
    Our users are running Reader 10.1 on Windows Vista and so far its only users that have left it open longer than two hours, or over night. These forms have been Reader extended and at first save without issue.
    Unfortunately, just telling the users not to leave it open isn't an option. We just need Reader X to work.
    Thanks in advance for any information you can share about this.
    ~Connie

    Hi Kyle,
    Yes there is a lot of code within the forms. Mostly adding instances, and changing the presence on subforms. These particular forms do not have data connections, or execute any code from a server. The script all runs at the client level.
    I'm checking with the form content owners to see if I'm allowed to post any of them. If they give the okay then I'll put a sample up here.

  • The load icon goes round and round but unless I click stop then reload the page won't open Whats up with that?

    Pages will not load quickly unless I click the X to stop then click the refresh icon and the page starts to open but will not completely open unless I do the same thing again click X then click refresh then it works fine. Until of coarse I click a link and I have to repeat the above process over and over again.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • When I click "Edit Original" in the links panel it opens MICROSOFT PAINT!

    When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

    Thanks Mylenium.
    I know how to change the default program associated with an extension (I would like to keep picture viewer as the default open option for JPG) but I don't know how I change the EDIT association (currently Paint for JPG) in Win 7.
    And it would be much more useful if AI could just give us the option of setting defaults (as Bridge does) OR AI could just use Bridge's defaults OR give us an "Open with" option as in Indesign. So many possible solutions, I've feature-requested this on occasions since CS1, it works in other Adobe apps, so I can only think Adobe is wilfully ignoring this issue for Irritator.

  • Pressing the wheel on mouse, open certain bookmarks in new pages from a bookmarks folder WITHOUT the folder closes. Now you can open just one bookmark each time

    Boring when you have bookmarks folders into other bookmarks folders.
    Pressing the wheel, or choosing 'open in new tab', the new tab is automatically visualized on screen, even if this option isn't checked on generic firefox tool's options (the one on menu bar).

    Try using the bookmarks sidebar - '''{Ctrl + B}''' - it will stay open so that you can select multiple bookmarks.

  • I am finding that when I click on a PDF it may open one day, but the next day it doesn't or vice versa

    I am finding that opening pdf links tends to be spotty. Sometimes a link opens, but other times it doesn't. I know there's a lot of variables at play but was hoping someone might be able to provide some insight on how to resolve this, or at the very least improve performance so that the links open more reliably. Thanks!

    csw-scotts:
    Can you please check the saved preferences you have for handling pdf files:
    links that are hosted online will open in the default pdf view.
    Downloading and opening also is a set preference in this menu:
    "3 bar" > Options/Preferences > Applications.
