Open protected pdf with javascript

Hi
I created a program that opens a local pdf file and shows it with Adobe Reader. I want people to open the pdf file only when using my program.
It's an Adobe Air program so I am able to pass javascript commands to the pdf. Lets say I pass a string (the password) from my Adobe Air applikation
to some javascript function inside the pdf file, at the time my application opens the pdf file, when i it opens. Then the javascript function inside the pdf file should be able to pass the password to some security handler and open the pdf file, without prompting the user for a password.
How do I do this in Adobe Acrobat Javascript ?

Just search for password in the to files i mentioned. I'd already said that I didn't understand the documentation very well, but here's a copy paste:
SecurityHandler Methods login
Provides a mechanism by which digital IDs can be accessed and selected for a particular Security Handler. Through the user interface, a default digital ID can be selected that persists either eternally or for as long as the application is running. If such a selection has
signInvisible
Specifies whether the security handler is capable of generating invisible signatures.
Type: Boolean Access: R
signValidate
Indicates whether the security handler is capable of validating signatures.
Type: Boolean Access: R
uiName
Specifies whether the security handler is capable of generating visible signatures.
Type: Boolean Access: R
The language-dependent string for the security handler. This string is suitable for user interfaces. All security handlers must support this property.
Type: String Access: R
SecurityHandler Methods
been made through the UI, it might not be necessary to log into a Security Handler prior to using the digital ID.
Parameters tend to be specific to a particular handler. The behavior for Adobe.PPKLite and Adobe.PPKMS handlers is specified below.
The parameters cPassword and cDIPath are provided for backward compatibility, or they can be included as properties of the oParams object. This latter method is the preferred calling convention beginning in Acrobat 6.0.

  • Chrome Viewer can't open Protected PDF  - Ask for a solution or a workaround

    Hello,
    we are working on the publishing of some Adobe Livecycle PDF protected documents on a website we are working on.
    We noticed an anomaly in Chrome Browser (Saphari too). The browser can't recognize PDF protected Document, so clicking to the download of the pdf document, it use "Chrome Pdf Viewer"
    and shows a message to user 'Unable to open document'.
    Is there any system to force the browser to open the protected pdf with Adobe reader?
    The solution about asking the User to disable Chrome Pdf Viewer and enable Adobe Reader is Excluded.
    Thanks a lot,

  • The way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link

    I guess this feature is not supported, but let me ask one thing.
    I am looking for the way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link.
    For example, if the following link is opened, is it possoble to open 3d.pdf with automatic selection of "abc" model in the model tree? 
    http://example.org/3d.pdf#model=abc
    If it can be done by javascript, it's really helpful.

    Impossible. There are only very limited command-line options for the Acrobat Family and you cannot change them.

    Hi  Bruce,
    Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and  check.
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

  • Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch"  does anyone have a way to fix this?

    Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch"  does anyone have a way to fix this?

    Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
    Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
    In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
    Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
    To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.

  • Unable to open a protected PDF with Adobe Reader

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to understand how LC Righs Management works. So what i'm doing is following:
    1. Protecting a PDF with a specific preconfigured right in my policy server by using Acrobat Pro.
    2. Trying to open same fine in Adobe Reader gives me "An error occured while performing thsi operation. Contact an Administrator if this proplem continues".
    Same file can be opend in acrobat pro without any problems.
    My certificate is installed. (port is 8443)
    Any ideas why ADobe Reader faisl to read a protected PDF?
    Thnx!

    Hi Steve,
    Yes, SSL is trusted. If it's not strusted, i getting a different message from teh ADobe Reader which actually is reffering to the SSL problem.
    Also if SSL is not trusted, file can't be opend in Acrobat Pro. IN my case, file can be opened in ACrobat X Pro but not in Adobe Reader.
    Maybe i can check for some log files on the server side for this? (or client if there are any?)

  • Can I with Javascript force Chrome users to open a PDF with Acrobat

    I have built a document in InDesign and exported to an Interactive PDF. I originally had issues with acrobat highlighting interactive buttons with a blue box but was able to get around this with a couple simple JavaScript lines that disabled this feature then re-enabled on closing. You can view the thread with my resolution here:
    Button Highlight in Interactive PDF from InDesign CC
    Great but now I have another issue. If the user opens with Chrome and has not disabled "Chrome's" PDF viewer the above JavaScript is ignored or not functional. It there a way with JavaScript or some other method to force the PDF to be opened with Acrobat in Chrome?
    I Miss FLASH this project would have been 100 times easier with action script and consistent across browsers ... curse you Steve Jobs.

    You need to not just think about Chrome. There is
    - FireFox
    - Microsoft Reader (comes with Windows 8)
    - Preview (comes with Mac)
    - iPad native PDF viewe
    - Android native PDF viewer
    Anyone getting a computer or tablet today can read PDFs without getting Adobe Reader and you need to give them a pretty compelling reason for them to download Adobe Reader to do what (they believe that) they can already do. I think it's the death knell for PDF forms.

  • Open a password protected PDF with XPAAJ

    Hi,
    I have a LiveCycle PDF form that is protected by a password and Reader Extension Server.
    In my application, it was suppose to open this PDF and import XML data into it. But I'm getting an exception when using XPAAJ API to open the form in my JAVA application.
    Does any one knows any way to achieve that?
    Thank you.

    Preview should give you a password entry field when you open the file. If it doesn't, then either Preview is acting up, or there is something odd about the way the bank has done the encryption.
    You can test Preview by opening any pdf, than Saving As (with a different name), checkin the 'Encrypt' checkbox in the save dialog. When you reopen the file you should see the password demand. If that's OK then as said you need to take it up with your bank.
    You can usually delete 'in use' files after rebooting the computer.

  • Problem saving Reader extended PDF with Javascript functions built in

    Afternoon
    I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality.  I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF.  The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made.  The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
    I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
    I am using Adobe Pro XI.
    Thanks in advance

  • How to open a pdf with a ".exe" extension?

    Hi everyone,
    I am new. Someone just sent me a document they created in Acrobat 9 pro. They say it is a password protected pdf. When I click open or download, it changes from 1 KB to 28 bytes and displays a message that the content has been deleted. I would really appreciate any insights!
    In case it helps, I am using Windows 7 and have Acrobat XI Pro. Thanks.

    If it was a PDF with a .exe extension I suspect you have just been injected with Virsus, Worm, Trogan Horse or some other malware.  A PDF if it’s a true PDF will only have pdf extension.  When some one says it’s a Pdf but say it will be sent as exe file don't download it. Or if itd ownloaded don't open it trash it immediately.

  • How to open protected pdf files.

    I am trying to find out how to get my new tablet to allow me to open password protected pdf files.

    It sounds like you have DRM-protected PDF files, which are different from password-protected PDF files.
    Are your PDF files protected with Vitrium's Protect PDF technology?  None of the Mobile version of Adobe Reader (e.g. Reader Touch, Reader for iOS or Android) currently supports it because it's a proprietary technology.
    Your school should have the information about which PDF viewer to use to open those files.  Does it tell you to use Adobe Reader?  If so, you might want to try the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI.

  • Updated Reader X now OpenFile extension won't open protected pdf's

    A week ago I was able to open some pdf's that are protected with the OpenFile extension.  I updated Reader X and Acrobat Professional X the other day now I get an error message when trying to open those files. 
    "There was an error contacting the server or the server's response could not be decoded.  Pelase check your Internet Connecton". 
    I've tried everything I can think of, including re installing the OpenFile extension and I continue to get this error.  Any ideas on what I can do to fix this.  Thanks.
