OPEN ADOBE READER from ABAP

Hello,
with function module convert_otf we create a PDF from sapscript
with function module gui_download we are able to save this PDF-document on the file system.
But we don´t want to save it, we just want to open it directly in ADOBE reader. Is this possible with some ABAP function modules?
If yes, how?
thanks a lot.
Kind regards
Manfred

Dear Manni,
Follow below steps,
Set output parameters and open the spool job using FM FP_JOB_OPEN like below,
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    CHANGING
      ie_outputparams = fp_outputparams
Determine the name of the generated function module using below FM,
      CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
        EXPORTING
          i_name     = p_tnapr_sform
        IMPORTING
          e_funcname = p_func_module_name.
Call the generated functional module like below,
CALL FUNCTION ls_function
EXPORTING
          /1bcdwb/docparams    = fp_docparams
Close the spool job using FM FP_JOB_CLOSE
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
Thanks.

Cannot open adobe reader from website

PDF in website will not open. Suggested solutions from website and Adobe have not corrected issue.

Accepting the EULA is not done during the installation, but when Adobe Reader is launched for the first time. That's what you need to do (not the browser plugin, but the actual Reader program).

How can I send instructions or keystrokes to an open Adobe reader from another program?

Hi Gurus,
In my previous question I opened the Adobe Reader as a help file.
Now consider the case that my help.pdf file is already open on page 100 but the context sensitive help of the next dialog is on page 50. What can I do if I do not want to close the Adobe Reader and reopen it again?
I suppose that the user has not closed the needed file and opened another one.
How can I force the curson jump up to the input field of the page number, and fill it with "50" and send an [enter] to it? Or how can I send a "Ctrl+F", a sought word and an [enter]?
TIA,
Regards
Ferenc

You can use interapplication communication with DDE messages.

Specify author name for annotations when opening Adobe Reader

Hi !
I need to specify the author name (for annotations) programatically each time I open Adobe Reader from my application. Is that possible and if yes, how ?
Here is how I open Adobe Reader in my application :
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.adobe.reader", "com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(doc), "application/pdf");
startActivity(intent);
catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityNotFoundException) {
activityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
If not possible, where does Adobe Reader stores its parameters ? Maybe I can change them before opening it ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

The application I'm developping needs to be able to allow its users to open existing pdf files and annotate them with the username they've given when logging into the application. Unfortunately, I've not found any satisfying library to edit existing pdf files on Android nor in AIR for Android. I'm thus trying to call Adobe Reader from my application (this I can do) and set the author name for annotations...
I've found that Adobe Reader stores the author name in /data/data/com.adobe.reader/shared_prefs/com.adobe.reader.preferences.xml
Knowing that my application will run on rooted Android tabs, do you think it would be posssible to modify this file each time before launching Adobe Reader from my application (could be a dirty workaround but still a workaround) ?

How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
APB

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

Why is it I do not get an option to open in adobe reader from safari?

Try tapping the pdf and pressing "open in". This should allow you to open your pdf in reader. Let me know if this does not work for you.

How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?

how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.

Hello-
I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
Hope this helps.

How can I keep Adobe Reader from closing 30 secs after I open it? Windows Vista

My Adobe Reader closes after 30 seconds or so of being opened. I've been making changes to some of my windows settings in an effort to reduce risk of viruses and malware, etc. I don't know why it affected the time Adobe is allowed to stay open and so don't know how to fix the problem. How can I fix this?

Three things to try:
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe. When I start the download I get this on the screen: The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068." The memory could not be written. Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug. So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer. A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it. I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for your reply. Jim R.

Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy. A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief.
It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C. no joy.
Sigh...Jim R.

Opening Adobe Reader PDF

Four months ago I wrote that when I tried to open Adobe Reader PDF for any reason, Photoshop Elements 4 took over and Adobe Reader was opened in PE4.
I was given advice toopen and check in a word document my file association and to "tell" the system to open in Adobe PDF format. I did that but whenever I open Adobe PDF for any reason (the last occasion was to download my travel insurance from Insure and Go), PE4 opens and Adobe PDF has to be printed from inside that programme. Nothing has changed.
I want Adobe Reader PDF to open in its own format, and I want to stop Adobe Reader PDF being opened inside the PE4 programme. How do I do it?
I do not want to get rid of PE4 as I use it extensively for photography. But I want it to stay with photos and stop opening for documents like my travel insurance. Thank you. Rod Colyer

Cannot Open Adobe Reader X/XI

Currently experiencing issues with Adobe Reader X/XI. Organization wide problem. Adobe Reader X/XI is not starting/opening at all.
Information:
Adobe Reader X/XI 64-Bit with update 11.0.0.5
Windows 7
Event Viewer doesn't show any application error logs or anything related to the problem from what I can see.
Any idea what can be causing this?

Some other things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Cannot uninstall, update, or open Adobe Reader 9.3.1

I am running Windows XP 32-bit. I recently updated to Adobe Reader X and want to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3.1, but cannot. I have tried uninstalling using Add/Remove Programs, I have tried updating to 9.3.2 by downloading the appropriate update file from adobe.com, and I have tried opening Adobe Reader 9 to ask for updates from the Help menu. None of these worked, because as soon as I tried to "Remove" Adobe Reader 9 in the first instance, as soon as I tried to open the executable update file in the 2nd instance, and as soon as I clicked on Adobe Reader 9 to open it in the 3rd instance, I got the same message: "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
I think this problem may be related to the fact that I recently did a System Restore on my computer because I had a virus that was not being caught by Norton Antivirus. After the System Restore, I fully updated all my programs and Mozilla plug-ins, which caused Adobe Reader X to download. Since I no longer need Adobe Reader 9, I'd like to get it off my computer.
The only thread I could find on this issue in this forum was from March 2010, and the user was referred to the Windows Installer Clean-up Utility. This utility is no longer available from Microsoft, so I couldn't resolve the issue with that method.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have! I am not especially computer savvy, so detailed instructions are much appreciated.

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility is still available on 3rd-party download sites, e.g. http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459

Cannot open .pdfs via Outlook or Adobe Reader, can't open Adobe Reader, can't uninstall it!

We have a new office desktop that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader. The version on the computer is 9.5.2. When I try to install updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before completion because it says Adobe 9.5 is currently being open. But we can't open Adobe 9.5, and task manager does not even show the program as being open.
I have tried uninstalling the program, but have been unable for the same reason.

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

I can't open adobe reader, even after re-installing.

Everytime I try to open a pdf, i receive an error message saying 'Windows can not find 'C:XXXXXXX.pdf'. Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again'.
Running Windows 7 Professional. Tried to install both v11 and v10 Adobe Reader - still no success. Tired opening files from C and D drive files with same result.
When trying to open up adobe reader from program files, i get the same error message. Something is blocking adobe reader from opening.

This may happen due to messed up registry settings.
Try uninstalling using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Reboot the system.
Reinstall latest version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
