Open external application in pdf!

I want to made a button when click it, it will open a program in desktop.
Can I do that thru Adobe liveCycle Designer 7.0 ?
I tried to use : app.lunchURL("program path",this); but with no luck
thanks in advance.

no , I made a form for single user only, which I means a one & static path.
what about >>>>> Window.Open() method?
Is it useful?

After downloading the latest upgrade of Adobe, I can no longer open files that are PDF's. Why do I keep getting error 0.104?

Since October 23rd, after downloading the recent upgrade for Adobe Reader, I continually keep getting error code 0.104 whenever I try to open a file that is in PDF format. No matter if I'm using Internet Explorer or Chrome. Huge waste of time! I have restored the Adobe to previous upgrade of September 2014, which was working fine. I have restarted the computer several times since I restored to prior version with no luck at all.

This is the message i keep getting when I try and open my PDF files that are on my desktop. I run a Macbook Pro. I checked for updates on system and adobe all say unto date?
Adobe Reader could not open 'Employment Application(1).pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Allow Opening Of Non-PDF File Attachments With External Applications

If this is an Adobe initiative, then "grrrr, thanks a lot". Or, is this something on our local end?
Lately we cannot open Excel (.xls or .xlsx) and Word documents (97-2003 or later versions) out of a PDF potfolio. We upgraded to Reader 9.4.6 and I think it was around that time (maybe even 9.4.5) that this ability went away. In the versions we have you cannot check "Allow opening on non-PDF....." as it is greyed out. Is this where you allow .doc and .xls files to open?

I too am having difficulty after upgrading to 9.4.6, but I am unable to open PDF files from my web browser (both Chrome and IE). If I edit my preferences and allow the PDF to open in the browser window, I can see them, but opening the application from a web page does not work.
Turning pop up blocker off/on does not make a difference.
Other files seem to open fine.

DMS BAPI RFC Open DMS document from external application

Hello,
I want open a document stored in DMS through RFC BAPI, from an external application (for example .NET)
EasyDNS run OK: I have included the bapi Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT (code from a SAP note) in the system and I can open ECL/EAI & local documents (pdf, word, ...)
If I run Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT from SE37 run OK: I can see every document, document is downloaded to local system and then open.
But when I call bapi Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT from my external application through RFC I don't receive any result: document is not download to local system.
I have debugged the bapi (with SM50) and I have see that the calling entry in bapi, run and then ... crash.
I have detected the fail in OLE_FLUSH_CALL: system has a dump.
Summary:
- EasyDMS run Ok
- SE37 Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT run ok
- Z_EASYDMS_ECL_OPEN_DOCUMENT dump at OLE_FLUSH_CALL
Any idea?
thanks in advance,

Hello,
it is possible to extract DMS's file to application server directory:
FUNCTION Z_DMS_VIEW.

    IMPORTING
      RETURN          = P_RETURN
    TABLES
      DOCUMENTFILES   = DOC_FILES.
ENDFUNCTION.
ORIGINAL_PATH must be a directory of application server.
By background is not possible (I don't know how can we do that) download thsi file to PC.
Then with the file in application server we can :
- to map application server directory in a drive unit of Pc
- to transfer with a ftp client from Pc
- rfcexec
But always the bapi can not download the file: it must be a process in Pc who transfer the file.

How to define the application to use for opening each file type (pdf, jpg,...)

I installed an external application, and this new application has been configured by defect that it will be used to open all files with extensions like jpg, pdf, etc...
I want to revert this situation and define again the proper application I want to use for opening each file type. How can I do this in Lion?
Thanks,
Azaldier

Pick a representative file.
Get info. (Command-i)
There you will see a place "Open with" where you can select the application for that file.
Hit the "Change all..." button to do this for all files of this type.

HT1338 I am trying to setup my external drive, but when I do, I get a box that pops up that says You can't open the application "LaCie Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".

When trying to setup my external hard drive, I get this box that pops up and says this:
You can’t open the application “LaCie Setup Assistant” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

PowerPC was a type of processor used in Mac systems before Apple switched to Intel-based processors. These older chips required applications to be coded differently, to the extent that they will not run on the Intel processors in newer Macs. Apple used to include a translator that allowed these programs to at least run, but this translator is no longer available so if you run into an older PowerPC-based program then OS X will give you this error.

How can I force Firefox to open webm files in a external application like mplayer?

I want to open webm files from browsing sites (for example tagesschau.de) in mplayer through 'xterm -e' where I set a specific placement of the window and other parameters. Setting media.webm.enabled to false only disabled internal player, but does not open any option under Preferences -> File Types. Playing with advanced configuration I tried creating media.webm.handler{,default,application} according to other file type that are set to external applications. No luck. I have set mp4 files to use the same script (with execution permission) and it works exactly as I want.
Script:
<pre><nowiki>#!/bin/bash
FILENAME="`basename "$@"`"
xterm -fs 24 -bg black -fg white -title "$FILENAME" -geometry 96x8 -e "echo \"$FILENAME\"'\\nfrom\\n'\"$@\" && \
mplayer -geometry 100%:100% -vf dsize=400:-3 -volume 80 \"$@\" "</nowiki></pre>
The script itself works when I feed it a webm url (or any other media for that fact).
Linux 3.9.9-1-ARCH x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't know about linux cos i'm win user. But you may start with disabling internal webm support. about:config -> media.webm and then I think you should install greasemonkey addon and custom script for playing content in 3rd partys players. (At least that is my configuration. I'm using VLC for youtube)

How to fix forgetting previously opened tabs when starting Firefox by clicking on a link in an external application?

Hello, I have the option Startup: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" enabled. Works fine, except when Firefox starts when I click a link in an external application (typically Thunderbird). Then, the new link gets opened in a new tab, Firefox remembers the number of tabs I had opened when I last closed it, but all the "old" tabs are blank. Can I somehow fix this behavior?
Disabling add-ons does not help. Clicking on a link in an external application when Firefox is already opened works OK. I have been using Firefox for quite a short time now (probably half a year) and this problem was always there (i.e. it is not due to a new update).
Thank you.

If Firefox is closed and an external link opens Firefox, you need to go to History > Recently Closed Tabs and open those tabs before closing Firefox. If you don't the "previous session" will be gone and only the one page that the external program opened will be the new "previous session".
If that isn't satisfactory, you'll need to install a "session manager" type extension to remember more than "the last session" only.

Open a external application in a concrete place in the screen

I need to open an external application from my swing app, but the application window should be opened in a concrete place in the screen, such as using setBounds in a JInternalFrame. Runtime methods just run the application in a new thread, but I can't place the window it the place I need.
I think some kind of external dll with jni should work, but I don't know which methods to use or even if it's a solution made in swing.
any ideas?
thanks in advance

The fact is that I need to move "any" application, because today it's some app like netmeeting but noone knows what will want tomorrow. Embbeding sounds good, can you give me more info?
And thanks a lot!

Make Firefox open URLs passed from external applications in new tabs

I upgraded Firefox (Mac) from 3.6.13 to 3.6.14 yesterday.
Since then Firefox does not respond to URLs passed from external applications, as it has always done.
The external apps pass the URL, FireFox is brought to the front, but no Tab (or new window) is opened.
Nothing else has changed. Firefox is selected as my default browser (in Safari Prefs) and there is only one copy of FireFox on my laptop,

Hi David
Go to Safari Preferences>General. At the bottom you'll see an option for opening in a tab. Makes sure Tabs are enabled in your Tab panel.

I have an external HD with PDFs and these can be opened in XP and Windows 8 but not Windows 7.

I have an external HD with PDFs that can be opened with Windows XP and 8 but not Windows 7. Different version of Adobe reader and Pro on the Windows 7 systems does not make a difference.

What Reader version you have on Windows 7?
Can you open such a file with Notepad, then copy and paste the first few lines here in the forum?

Opening An External Application With Using An iWeb Link

How do i open an application with an iWeb link so that when people click the link it opens an application on the computer? e.g. Link called play now and it opens Gameranger straight from the browser when the link is clicked.
Thanks

For security concerns I, for one, would not want a Web page to load or launch other applications based on links or downloads.
Only a handful of files are considered "safe" and even then the end user can turn that feature "off".

Reader X: DDE Open command can open Reader but not open a specified target PDF

Once again Adobe has issued an update which breaks existing business systems. After the fiasco of Reader 9.3.4 failing to open external files such as SWF or XLS, the new Reader X is not opening the requested PDF when called via DDE.
The Reader X always opens with a "What do you want to do?" panel, offering various manually selected actions. What is required is for the Reader to open the PDF file specified in the DDE call, as it has done in all previous versions.
Is there a fix for this, or an alternative calling mechanism?
We have an external application which allows students to navigate around the various modules and lessons within their course. When they select a lesson, a DDE call is raised to request the appropriate lesson PDF to open in Reader. The external program uses a small floating, semi-transparent form, which allows easy lesson selection, automatic bookmarking and other functions. This functionality could not be achieved with simple PDF full of hyperlinks to the lessons.
The further problem is that many hundreds of these various courses are already in use by students around the world. We cannot easily prevent them from accepting upgrades to Reader X, nor supply them all with an alternative control method. All we can do is suggest anyone experiencing this problem to dump the new version and download version 9.4
Has anyone any ideas to fix the broken functionality in Reader X, or a satisfactory way to work around this failure ?
Thanks

Thanks for your contribution Dave.
The DDE call should not be case sensitive. Various writings on this page quote Acroview and AcroView, but I have tried various combinations and results are the same whatever case is used. It is acroviewR10 which I have used with success in my updated calls.
ManishPali has not responded to my question of where he found these R10 and A10 settings, but if these were intended to be the only access, they can give rise to even more scope for program failure. The majority of users will have only the free Reader, but some may have the full Acrobat program, and not Reader. So when we use 'acroviewR10' in our call, anyone with only Acrobat will again find the program failing.
Also of note is that using 'acroview' works in a call to open Reader X, but will not work to close Reader X or to open a PDF within Reader X. Why is one service still recognising the plain acroview, but the other services require the R10 suffix?
Dave says that this should be fixed in version 10.0.1, but is this just a hope, or a statement of intent from someone involved with Reader development? If this is fixed, how long will it take for that next release to be in common circulation?
In the meantime, we are preparing patches to send to any students who experience this problem, and also upgrading the master CD for each Course to add an option to the Config menu, allowing the user to select Reader X or not.
I think the developers at Adobe believe every user is within a corporation with centralised IT control, so everyone has the same, known version of any software and can be given new versions or advised of issues at will. In the real world, there are millions of independent users scattered across the globe who have no IT support and often have limited knowledge. For example, it is not uncommon to ask a user which version of Windows they are running and be quoted their MS Office version instead. Any extra complication in setting up or using their new software is a significant problem likely to result in lengthy support calls, and a loss of confidence in the product.

Can't open, download or view PDFs - Tried all fixes recommended on this site!

I updated Firefox yesterday and now I am suddenly unable to open, download or view PDF documents on my mac. I just get a blank page in Firefox when I click on a PDF link. 
I tried every fix I could find on this forum and others: 
Disabling both the Acrobat NPAPI Plugin and the Acrobat Reader Plugin 
delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions. 
installing another PDF reader plug-in 
Cleared download history 
Reset Firefox 
Checked status of Download Folder - no 'user set' values 
Reinstalled Firefox 
Fixed all Mac Permissions 
Still same thing PDF tries to open in a new tab - I just get a blank window… even when my PDF Preferences are set for the pop-up dialogue to show so I can choose whether to save, open or view. 
AND my Firefox preferences are set for viewing in Acrobat Pro X (this was how I had it set up before the update and had no problems - all PDFs opened in this application. (my preferred)
I am stumped. Anyone have any fresh ideas? HELP!! :) Thank you

The Adobe Reader plugin may not be working properly on Mac.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox
Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document.
