Opening an external PDF from a SWF embedded in a PDF. Is it possible?

I have created a PDF that contains an embedded SWF file that was created in InDesign. Is there a way to open a different pdf when the user clicks on a link? The "Open File" button command works in an interactive PDF, but not in a SWF file embedded in a PDF. Is there a work around, or a better way to do this?

Thanks for the response, this has been one of my fears in using flash. The reason we are doing it is that firstly, it allows for using multistate objects, and secondly, it causes the entire file to be preloaded at the opening of the file, making it run much more smoothly. In a file with lots of objects being turned on and off with buttons, an interactive Pdf tends to be very slow and buggy. I'm hoping I haven't hit a dead end in this and am open to any suggestions on how to work around the issues.

  • Opening an external URL from the Web UI

    Hello,
    I want to use the Web UI in order to open an external URL.
    I know it can be done easily using JavaScript, but the URL is generated from one of the page controller methods, and I want to open it directly from there.
    I know that there's the Window Manager in the Component Controller, that can open popup windows, but none of it's methods receive an external URL.
    So how can I open an external URL from the Web UI methods?
    Thanks,
    Udi.

    Hi,
    you can use the Trnsaction launcher with OP.
    in the window you create an OP_X
    with the code
      data: lv_navigation type ref to     if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
      lv_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
      lv_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id = 'ZTO_X' ). "runtime you create the TO_X nevigation"
    in your implamentation class of the view you add a preotected method OP_TO_X with the code
       data:
        lr_window type ref to cl_bsp_wd_window.
      lr_window = me->view_manager->get_window_controller( ).
      lr_window->call_outbound_plug( iv_outbound_plug = 'TO_X'
                                     iv_data_collection = iv_data_collection ).
    and you call to that method from the EVENT_HANDLER you want.

  • Link to external URL from online swf

    Is there any way to link to an external URL from your flash
    site without having the flashplayer prompt you to change your
    settings and allow access to that page? (this only applies to swfs
    viewed through a browser)
    the only way around this i've found isn't very useful - you
    have to put a small xml file on the host server where the page you
    want to link to is located. i seriously doubt every site you want
    to link to will allow you to put an xml file on their host server
    just so you can link to their page. the code in the xml file just
    tells flashplayer that the site you are trying to access is safe.
    it's called crossdomain.xml
    anyone have an answer?
    thanks!

    no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
    try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
    internet.
    unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
    security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
    just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
    it permission to access the internet zone.

  • Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

    I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
    I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
    I first followed the instructions provided here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
    When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
    I get to this menu:
    I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
    I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
    Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
    On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

  • When I send a pdf from my pc to ipad the pdf is already open when I scroll down the message so I am unable to save to the ibooks, any suggestions

    When I send a pdf as an attachment from my windows pc to the ipad via outlook mail there are occasions when the pdf is open on the email and not as an attachment which means I cannot store this on ibooks, any suggestions.

    If the document is already open then, if you touch and hold in the body of the document, you will be given a set of options. One of these is to "Open in iBooks".

  • Can't save PDF from Internet Explorer embedded Adobe Reader

    One of our clients use an application to digitally distribute and
    approve incoming invoices.  The scanned invoices (PDF's) are
    visualised in the webbased application by using the embedded Adober Reader 9.0 in Internet Explorer 8.0.
    While there is no problem printing PDF's, on some pc's it is impossible to save a PDF.  When you click on the save icon, nothing happens.
    This issue has been resolved on some pc's by reinstalling Adobe Reader, but not on others.
    Does anyone know what causes this problem and how it can be resolved?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Guys,
    I have Win 7 64bit as well, and I have the same problem.
    A pain when you're doing research and opening lots of browser windows
    with PDFs in em.
    What I've found is that this is an Internet explorer issue.
    Everything works perfectly fine in Firefox.
    You can save, print, the works, with no problems.
    Looks like Microsoft have to do something with IE.

  • How do I create a PDF from ID, so that when the PDF is opened in Reader, the text is editable?

    Three different members of Adobe Support have unfortunately been unable to resolve this problem so I am pinning all of my hopes on my fellow users! Please Help!
    I have been sent a PDF by my client (created via their previous agency) which when opened in Reader (not Acrobat) enables me to edit the existing text (in the existing fonts, granted only Helvetica) and re-save it as a hi-res PDF.
    I have tried virtually everything to get this to work without success, I can create 'editable fields' but this deletes the existing text and inserts a blank box over the top which I can type into with the default 'Times'.
    What will ultimately happen is that I will design the documents in English and then they will be uploaded to an ftp for download at various offices around the world. Therefore they need to translate what we have written but retain the same document design.
    I know this is possible because I have the PDF in front of me, I also know that PDFs in essence weren't designed to be editable but apparently it is now achievable and very useful if I can get the blasted thing to work
    Very many thanks, your opinions will be most appreciated!
    Regards

    Well, everything in those PDFs were form fields. You can make form fields in Acrobat - and then you can right-click on 'em and change their appearance, whether or not they'll accept rich text input, whether or not they'll scroll, and so on. It could also be done in LiveCycle Designer, for what it's worth. I wrote a now-obsolete post about this in response to yours before Mike showed up with this video.
    Probably most of your work on your designs in InDesign would need to be trashed; you'd need to rebuild the whole thing in Acrobat or LiveCycle. I have to say that, unless your targeted documents are extremely simple, that this is one of the worst document translation workflows I've ever seen in the last fifteen years. It might work - I'm trying to keep an open mind, here - but if you have any non-Latin-script languages in your target list, or if print reproduction is what you're after, or if you're expecting tracking revisions to the translations to be anything but a nightmare, I would suggest that you test this method inside and out before progressing any further.

  • Can you record the audio from a Video embedded in a pdf?

    I can't seem to find anything on this, so I will ask. A client sent us a company produced interactive pdf and wants us to use the audio from a video clip that is in the pdf. We asked for the audio clip but they don't know who to get it from and just keep saying it is in the pdf. While others try to explain that a pdf and an mp3 are not the same thing. I get to look into a fall back position of trying to extract the audio (or video). There is no copyright issue here. Client peon just can't/won't get the proper file.
    Maybe some one can help or point me to info that says it is not possible.
    Thanks.

    WireTap Studio did the trick. I downloaded a free Trial version and bob's yer uncle.
    Thanks Michael

  • IE locks when printing to pdf from a web-based page or pdf

    Acrobat 7 standard. IE 6 on XPPro64. It is a 64 bit machine and so printer drivers had to be obtained for 64 bit. When I try to print to "Adobe pdf", the current page out of a 200 page catalog being viewed online, IE locks up and the print job in the queue is unresponsive. It does this no mayyer the site or file being printed from. Other than this, Acrobat seems to work on on the 64 bit machine. Same thing if the page isn't a pdf but an ordinary html page. Printing to pdf hangs no matter what. Is this a known bug for 64 bit? It's at work, and the IT dept loves to mess with things, lock things etc, but I can't think how it could be related to that.

    I think that the earliest version that has successfully run under X64 is AA8.1.2. I think that AA7 will not work on X64 as I recall the various reports of attempts by others to do that.

  • When attempting to "print" to Adobe or create a pdf from a web page, the "pring/pdf" result has a bunch of unrecognizable characters on the page rather than letters/numbers

    here is an example

    You could open it in the XPS application and check print preview to see if it comes out as TSN suggests (and likely will). You can go to the printer properties and adjust the page size accordingly.
    You can also use the cropping in Acrobat to size all the pages and then use the Protect>Remove Hidden option to remove the cropped area.
