Opening a PDF inside Flash compile errors
I'm trying to open a pdf inside flash. I followed a tutorial online but I'm have issues with the compiler. Here's my code:
import flash.html.HTMLLoader;
import flash.html.HTMLPDFCapability;
import flash.html.HTMLWindowCreateOptions;
if( HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK )
var htmlLoader:HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "01_Advanta2_Master.pdf" );
htmlLoader.width = 800;
htmlLoader.height = 600;
htmlLoader.load( url );
var pdfHolder:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
pdfHolder.addChild (htmlLoader);
addChild (pdfHolder);
It results in these errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: UIComponent.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method UIComponent.
I've tried to import fl.core.UIComponents in the beginning but that resulted in this error:
1172: Definition fl.core:UIComponent could not be found.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to have components in the library in order for them to be accessible.

How to load a pdf inside flash
I need open a pdf inside flash how I do this?
armandix,
> I need open a pdf inside flash how I do this?
You can't, really. Flash Player doesn't support Acrobat.
Specifically,
you can't open a PDF in Flash and have it act like a PDF
(scrollable,
searchable, etc.). But you can certainly convert your PDF (or
a page from
your PDF) to an image format and import that.

I am using Adobe Pro 11 and on opening a pdf I am getting error 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. Please help and provide a workaround if the solution not there.
I have already set the preferences to for page view to low zoom settings, and page fit view settings, but it never opens the pdf. Please check and provide a solution asap.
Thanks in advance!Most of the documents have sensitive info on them. I will have to do some looking for some that i can share, but will get something to upload (dropbox) as soon as I can.
Thanks for you help. -
2 Problems - Can't open a PDF inside IE 8, can't open a link in a PDF
I am running Vista Business on a Lenovo ThinkCentre with dual core Intel processor, 2 GB RAM. I have 2 problems with Reader 9.3.0.
First it will not open a PDF inside IE 8. Instead it opens the PDF in a new Reader window. It does open a PDF inside Firefox. In Edit|Preferences|Internet the Display PDF in browser checkbox is checked. In IE 8 Tools|Manage Add-ons|Run without permission Adobe PDF Reader is Enabled.
The second problem is that I cannot open a link in a PDF file. When I place the cursor over an e-mail or internet link in a PDF file the little hand appears. However when I click on the link nothing at all happens.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix either of these problems?
Ira B.In the replies I have been receiving, nobody has said which problem of the
two I wrote about they are experiencing. I assume that all are using Vista
(I use Vista business) since neither of these problems appear on my machine
that runs XP Pro.
I have managed to get around these problems and am happy to share my
experiences with all, but I advise not getting too excited since my solution
may not be exactly what others might want. Of the two problems, the one
where I was unable to open an e-mail or web link in Acrobat Reader was the
more serious for me. I edit a couple of newsletters that almost always
contain some of these links and I need to be able to test them to make sure
they are correct before I send out a newsletter.
I found out that if I used Foxit Reader in place of Acrobat Reader I was
able to open all links with no problems. For a while I had both readers
installed with both able to open PDFs in IE8 but only Foxit able to open
links in a PDF file. Then Foxit Reader began to exhibit the problem of PDFs
not opening in an IE8 browser window. Then the problem spread to Acrobat
reader. I have no idea as to the cause.
I tried removing and re-installing both Readers but was unable to rid myself
of the problem. I then contacted Foxit support for some assistance. Yes,
unlike Adobe, they actually try to help if you are having a problem with
Foxit Reader. Foxit support gave me a procedure to try but it did not work
at first. I finally found out that I had to install Foxit Reader with User
Access Control (UAC) shut off in Vista. If UAC was not shut off, Foxit's
addin for IE8 would not install properly. Then I re-enabled UAC and followed
the procedure Foxit support suggested which is:
1. Login your machine with admin account, right click on > FoxitReader.exe
2. Select "Properties"
3. Select "Compatibility" tab
4. Uncheck "Run this program as an administrator" under "Privilege Level"
5. Select "Show settings for all users"
6. Click on "Continue" if there is a prompt.
7. Uncheck "Run this program as an administrator" under "Privilege Level".
(This was already unchecked in my case.)
After this Foxit Reader opened PDF files in browser windows in both IE8 and
Firefox.
I think that this procedure might work for Acrobat Reader; at least I think
it might be worth a try. I don't want to try it myself because my computer
is working just fine right now with Foxit Reader and I don't want to take
the chance of screwing it up since it was so difficult for me to get to this
point.
If someone would like to try it, I suggest removing Acrobat Reader, then
disabling UAC and re-installing Acrobat Reader. Then enable UAC again. Then
follow the 7 steps above for AcroRd32.exe. I am hopeful, but by no means
certain, that then PDF files will open in an IE8 browser window. I would
appreciate it that, if anyone tries this, they would let me know their
results. I regret not being able to provide a more definitive solution.

Open local PDF inside Air iOS app
I am developing an AIR for iOS app for the iPad. My client would like the app to open a local PDF file within the app, rather than launching an external app (such as Adobe Reader). This is to give a seamless experience when using the app. I've seen that distriqt.com produce the 'PDF Reader' Native Extension based on www.vfr.org. VFR appears to have a series of interface controls that open along with the PDF, which I don't require. I emailed Distriqt a week ago to clarify, and have had no response.
Does anyone know of any other solutions to open a PDF inside an AIR iOS app?I've managed to load a PDF successfully inside my AIR iOS app, using the code from http://thatsthaway.wordpress.com/201...1/#comment-102.
However, I've just come across a weird feature / bug when viewing a PDF using stagewebview. I have a PDF that contains several internal hyperlinks, each navigating to a page within the same PDF document. If I select any of the hyperlinks, they do jump to the intended pages. However, if I reselect the same hyperlink again, it no longer works. If I select a different hyperlink, and then reselect a previous link, it will then work, but if I select the same hyperlink twice in a row, without selecting a different hyperlink in between, the link fails to work. The PDF hyperlinks all work ok outside of my app, on both Windows desktop and an iPad, just not inside of the AIR app.

Adobe Reader not opening PDF Portfolio - Flash player error
I have Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my PC and I created a PDF Portfolio. Acrobat Standard can open that Portfolio just fine.
I also have Acrobat Reader installed (11.0.2).and have Adobe Flash Player (11.7.700.169) installed. Both Reader and Flash Player work fine independently on PDF or Flash content.
However when I try to open the PDF portfolio with Reader, I get the following Error:
:"To view the Flash technology in this FDF file; please install this version of Flash player that supports Adobe reader and Acrobat".
The Dialog box with the message above has a [Proceed to download page] button (which does nothing but bring up Reader with a black page), a [Learn more] button (similar behavior), and a [Cancel] button. Both Reader and Flash are the latest versions as of today (4/16/2013).
Any help or insight with this is appreciated.

how can I open a report.pdf file that shows error: file cannot be previewed because of an error w/ pdf preview handler
Hi pfmercerville,
If you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 (or Vista), you will find that your PDF files do not preview in Windows Explorer as they do in the 32-bit versions. Instead, all you see is a message stating that This file can’t be previewed. To enable this functionality on your 64-bit operating system, follow these steps.
1. Click the Orb (Start Button).
2. Go to the Search programs and files textbox and input regedit.
3. Select regedit.exe from the results.
4. When the UAC prompt appears, click the Yes button.
5. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, go to (and select):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8880-44885D7DC193}
6. In the right pane, locate AppID.
7. Change AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}.
8. Restart your computer for the change to take affect.

Open a PDF inside a PDF....
Hi people.
I'm making my portfolio in this program that i don't really much how to use, but everything it's ok except one thing....
I was trying to make a menu where you can click and open another PDF file. Ok that works, but when I click, the other file opens and the PDF with the portfolio close up, and i want to the option let you go back to the portfolio again. I want to know if is a way to open the second file in a different PDF window, or if it doesn't have a solution in which similar format can I let the second pages. Thank youThe only way to put a PDF inside another PDF that I know of is to make a PDF Portfolio. This feature is available in Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X.
You should ask about it in the Adobe Acrobat forums. Here's probably the most relevant one: Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs -
OK, so there are countless hits on Google regarding this
question, but there is not a single decent answer out there which
seems to work. All I need is a surefire way of opening a PDF
document after the user clicks a button. That is all. Most of the
answers on the web talk about batch files for use on a CD or
whatever. All I need is a simple way of getting the PDF to open.
I've tried using the getURL command but this only works if
the browser window is already open, otherwise it gives an error.

Opening external pdf from flash exe
I've looked around the site and I havent found anything
refering to this.
I'm creating an Interface in flash which will browse through
a list of pdfs. This interface will be published on a CD-ROM for
distribution.
How do I launch the pdfs directly from a link in the flash
exe? Since it is not playing within a browser I can't use getURL.
It's been years since I've had to do this, and the last time
I used the fsCommand to launch an exe file created in Director
which would in turn open the pdf file. I'm hoping there is a better
solution.
