Opening a doc in read mode

Hi, I'm sending out some marketing information saved as a pdf. I want the documents to open in read mode without tools or others menus showing if possible. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hi, thanks for your response. I have Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). Under document properties I have tabs for:
Description, Security, Fonts, Custom, and Advanced. I don’t see a panel with initial view.

Open pdf doc with reader 9 when acrobat 8 installed

Hello,
I created a form with acrobat 9 and distributed it.
It appears that on a windows xp computer that already has acrobat 8 installed, it is impossible to open the form with reader 9, (after installing it, of course...).
Then, I'd rather create an excel file...
Please, all suggestions to solve that issue very quickly are welcome.
Thx++

Need Javascript to force reading mode on document open...

Need Javascript to force reading mode on document open... Does anyone know how to do this? Acrobat 8 does not come with a custom action for opening a page in reading mode...
Would also like the remove the page scroll bar from the document window. Can this also be applied using Javascript?

This code will embed a script that will open the doc in Reading Mode:
this.addScript("OpenInReadingMode","app.execMenuItem('ReadingMode');");
You can't remove the toolbar from the document window, only in full screen mode it's invisible.

How to set "Read mode" as default view for a pdf?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to open a pdf in "Read mode" (to get the floating toolbar) whenever an user open it in Acrobat Reader. Is there anyway to set this option in the pdf like "Open in full screen mode"?
Or
Can we add any little javascript to acheive this?
Or
Is there any other way to get the floating toolbar and add it into the pdf whenever we require?
Please help.
Regards,
Muthuraj. D

No. Read Mode is a choice made by the user, nothing in the document can force it to happen.
There is no scripting or API access to the heads-up-display "floating toolbar".

How to enable Reader Mode on a specific web page?

I've downloaded the Firefox Beta to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus but am having trouble using Reader Mode. First, Mozilla's instructions advise using a "Menu" button on my device, but there is no such button on my Nexus. When I open a web page, such as an article I want to read, sometimes the book icon appears in my address bar, so I can click it and open the page in Reader Mode, but usually that icon does not appear and I can't use Reader Mode. Any suggestions?

You may be right, but it's frustrating: When I can get Reader Mode to work as advertised, I like it much better than any of the add-ons I've seen; and there are so many add-ons that it's daunting to consider evaluating all of those that seem similar to Reader Mode.
I'm hoping that someone can suggest a means of making Reader Mode work for me, as it's supposed to do. If no one comes up with such a solution, I guess I will have to plunge into the add-ons.
Thanks for your suggestion.

                if (word != null)
                    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(word);
                word = null;
                doc = null;
                GC.Collect();
                GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8, it does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager, but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't use the C# API but I imagine it is the same as C ShellExecute. Which in turn is the same thing (in essence) as double clicking in Windows Explorer.
So... does Adobe Reader run normally on this machine?
And does it start and open if you double click on a PDF file?

Opening the file in read only mode

hi all,
i am using
i want to open any type of files in read only mode using host command.so first i am setting the attribute to read only and then opening the file. But still the opened file is editable. i have written like below
Host( 'cmd /c attrib +r "\test_folder\testing\PURCHASE_ORDER\'||:PO_FILE_NAME||'"',NO_SCREEN);
Host( 'cmd /c "\test_folder\testing\PURCHASE_ORDER\'||:PO_FILE_NAME||'"',NO_SCREEN);is this is the way to open the file in readonly mode?
Along with the above the files which i opened with the help of above said code those files i am not able to delete also.(i have to delete the selected file)
i thing when i am setting the attribute something is going for a mess!
Please help.
Thanks..
Edited by: GD on Jun 23, 2011 2:25 AM

hi,
Read only means you cannot mofiy the file. This also includes that you cannot delete a readonly-file yes,
what i am doing is i have three button in my layout 'save','view' and 'delete'.
1.so when user press 'save' button after selecting the file then the file gets saved into the specified.
2. when user press 'view' button the file has to open in read only mode.
for this i have written above mentioned code(but still i am able to edit the file)
3.when user press 'delete' button the file has to be deleted from the specified location.
so my problem is after setting file to read only mode, i am able to edit but i am not able to delete it.
What i am using to set the file to read only mode is right?
Please help.
Thanks..

Open a document in read only mode

HI All,
I created a panel in which we have
edit box which shows the document path
Browse button to allow a user to select an indesign document
"Open read only" button.
My requirement is that after selecting an Indesign document if user click to "OPen read only" button then it will opened selected document in read only mode.
I will be highly thankfull to all community memeber if anyone can give me some hint to achieve this.
Regards,
Alam

Alam,
If you change the attributes of the file before opening it to read only the file will be opened as read only by Indesign. And then you could place a responder that could clear this read only flag when the file is being closed so that the permissions are restored to the original state.

Opening pdf in read mode by using command line

In adobe reader there is an option "Read mode"(In view menu). I want command line by which a pdf can be opened directly in read mode.

Not possible.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.
