Opening Acrobat 8 On A Windows Form

This is the first time I have used the Acrobat SDK so I apologize if this is quite basic.
I am trying to open a PDF in Acrobat 8 Professional on a Windows form (it will be on a tab in a tab control). I need to allow the user (who will have the full version installed) to have full annotation capabilities. I can get the code to open the PDF in Acrobat, but it opens separate from my program.
Can someone point me to what Visual Studio tool I would use for this? I am using c# and VS 2008.
Thanks.

The capability is there, it's just not exposed. When using the embedded control, you need to add interfaces to whatever functionality you want.
There are no samples in the SDK in C# doing this, but take a look at the ActiveViewVB and StaticViewVB VB.NET samples. Porting from VB.NET to C# is quite easy as they are both .NET languages. You should also read the Interapplication Communication API Refrence documentation that comes with the SDK, it lists all the methods that allow interaction with annotations.

I upgraded laptop to Windows 8.1, but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears. I must restart PC.

Hi there,
This is exactly what it says in the title.
I got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 (from W7), but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears. I must restart PC in order to get the taskbar back.
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Paul ,
I would like to know does this happen in case of Acrobat only or while accessing any other applications as well ?
Are you able to see the taskbar before you access any application?Or it just disappears when you launch Acrobat?
You can try repairing Acrobat once and see if that fixes the issue.
If that does not work ,you can try uninstalling Acrobat once and install it again.
Please refer to the following as well and see if that helps.

I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need. Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8. Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator. It gives me three options try again, redo, never register.

I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need. Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8. Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator. It gives me three options try again, redo, never register. No matter which option I choose I cannot stop the window from opening each time I open the computer.
Any suggestions?

Probably far too old to register. Sounds like a bug, stopping the "never" selection from working. You may be stuck with it.

How to Clear all the data of open windows form of another exe?

Hi,
I want to make utility which will clear all the data from one windows application.
i know the application name. The application of which data i want to clear is made in C# and contains many windows forms and controls.
out of that opened windows form and controls inside it need to be cleared.
Please guide on how to do this in C#?

Short version: Find the window and send it a message with
SendMessage.
Open up Spy++ and find your form's window. You will see that the window has children and they have classes of the form "WindowsForms10.EDIT.*" Those are TextBox controls. You can call things like SetWindowText to set the
text of the window to clear it.
To do this programmatically, you'll have to obtain the window hand that corresponds to the control. You can find windows with
FindWindowEx or
EnumWindows. Locate the window by name or class or whatever else you can determine about it. Find the child windows and "clear" them however you wish. I assume you mean to set empty strings to all the TextEdit controls. If you
intend to do something more sophisticated than that, then you'll have to be more specific about what you mean by "Clear all the data".
It may or may not be obvious that you'll be poking around with Win32 API calls via PInvoke to accomplish much of this. Example:
SetWindowText via PInvoke.

Adobe acrobat 5.0 on windows 7 won't open pdf's

I just started getting a mesage that says There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/reader. If it is running, please exit and try again.(6.6) I have Adobe reader 11 and acrobat 5.0, using windows 7. I've been trying to resolve this for days. Please help, thank you.

It may make a difference if you are using a 64-bit system. AA5 can be installed on Win7, 32-bit (never tried with 64-bit, but did that with AA7). Acrobat and Distiller both work, but AcroTray and the Adobe PDF printer (or Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5) fail to install or load. There are work arounds, but not real convenient. Adobe does not support the AA5 use on Win7 as mentioned. It may be that your problem of opening the PDFs is not AA5, but that the version of the PDFs is a lot newer than AA5 and it is a compatibility issue, not a Win7 issue.
For Win7 or Win8, it is strongly recommended you buy AA XI. You cannot upgrade since AA5 is not a qualifying product for the XI upgrade.

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7

I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7. The shortcut appears on the desktop but when I click it nothing happens. Same from the program list. Just re-installed from cd but still nothing.

Since you can not open Acrobat (assume there were no errors shown with the installation and this is a new installation), then go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select Acrobat. Select the uninstall/change. Along the way you should be provided an option to repair -- do that. If you like, you can also download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

How to open A Windows Form from Crystal Reports

Hello All
We are using crystal Repors 10 with Visual studio .Net 2005. Our requirement is to open the Windows Form when a user click on the respective Hyperlink. Simillarly popping up the MessageBox when clicking hyperlink.
How this is possible, I will be really thankful to anyone who solves my problem

Depending if this is a web or win app, you have different solutions.
Web or win, use hyperlinks and redirect to an aspx page (I think hyperlinks are supported in CR 10.2).
Win, use events as described in the sample app csharp_win_viewer_events.zip / vbnet_win_viewer_events.zip. I have never used the events to pop up a new form, but you should be able to do this.
BTW.; make sure you have sp 1:

Opening a PDF file in Admin mode from a windows forms application (C#)

Hi,
I need to open a pdf file using Windows Application. I have used the below code launch the pdf files.
Process prc = new Process();
            prc.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
            Environment.CurrentDirectory = @"C:\SamplePDF\";
            prc.StartInfo.Arguments = " /C sample.pdf";
            prc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            prc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
            prc.Start();
This code is working fine without admin mode. But while running the output exe from bin folder with admin mode(right click the exe and choose "Run as Administrator"), pdf files are not launching . But its opened in the background application and I can see this from windows task manager.
Could anyone please help me on this issue ? Is there any other ways to launch a pdf file in admin mode ?
-Balaji.

Thank you for replaying so soon..
Well you are right by using a widget and etc.. but the problem is that I have been told that this application should open a PDF file that has bookmarks to each chapter of the text and one can make a search on this text by using pdf search.. So I do not have any other choice than opening a pdf :D and my time is unfortunately limit.
For solving the problem that the user may not have PDF reader.. well I have been told that user should install the pdf reader, so in my application package I am putting the installation file of PDF.
But going back to my problem.. I guess is someway I have to get the OS type of the user and I have to do a SWITCH or something on the OS type and then change the content of the Runtime.exec(). But the question is how can I get the OS type and what should I change in Runtime.exec().
So now any idea? any solution??

Everytime I click on one of my app tabs it removes it form that brower window and opens it in a new window! how do I get it to work right?

Clicking on an app tab shouldn't remove it from that browser window but it does, seems to sort of defeat the purpose of App Tabs in my opinion. then I have to drag the new tab back into the other browser window and then it works for a little while correctly.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.<br />
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.<br />

Opening webhelp pro project in c# windows form

Hi
Ive been trying to load my webhelppro project in a c# windows
form that contains a web browser control.
This is proving to be harder than it seems because i believe
there is some javascript in the generated web help, that determines
how it is being launched.
Everytime i try to load the help in my c# form, the help
still manages to load into a new internet explorer window!?
Does anyone know how i can stop this happening so the help
loads inside my c# forms web browser control? I guess i would need
to edit one ore more of the generated javascript files, but i dont
know which one.
Any help appreciated :)

A very long time ago, in the days of Firefox 1.5, someone created a COM object that you could use in place of the IE objects. However, that was not maintained. Instead, there was a very complex set of procedures to use the Gecko rendering engine in other projects, and last year, support for that was phased out ([https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.embedding/c_NMcO-N8wo/discussion Smedberg 3/28/2011]).
Today, you can build a Gecko-based application by using XULRunner. However, this is not a drop-in replacement for the IE controls. You can read more about it here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XULRunner].
As another alternative, some have commented that it is possible to embed Webkit (the rendering engine in Safari and Chrome), but I haven't researched that.
