Opening another pdf

Good morning everyone,
stumbled across a somewhat unexpected behaviour and would be glad if someone would help me out.
I do have 2 Acrobat forms: one, the "MasterForm" tries to access a second form "Examiner.pdf" during a PageOpen event. Examiner.pdf has user-rights enabled. When I run the following code on my machine, it works just fine. On another computer it opens "Examiner.pdf" but when trying to access the form-elements Acrobat complains, that myExamForm is not defined. My guess is some problem with disclosure (is it possible to disclose a pdf with extended rights attached?). Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
try{
    var myExamForm = app.openDoc({
        cPath: "Examiner.pdf",
        oDoc: this});
}catch(e) {console.println("Open failed");}
console.println(myExamForm);
Acrobat Standard X, Acrobat Pro X (Test), Acrobat Reader 10.0, Acrobat Reader 9.4

Yes -Examiner.pdf has a page-open script with
this.disclosed = true
The disclosed parameter is definitely set (checked through the scripting console), but I still get a
Type Error: myExamForm is undefined.
Maybe I need to implement the disclosed part in a document level script (which I haven't figured out, how to access in Acrobat X Std)?

Hyperlink a word in one pdf to open another pdf on a mac?

Hi, I have been trying to find a program or app on my mac that will enable me to click on a word in one pdf file from my documents which would then open another pdf file in my documents. I can't seem to be able to do it on preview via the hyperlink or adobe reader, can anyone help? I assume this would be easy to do on Acrobat X Pro? Any alternative (cheaper/free!) options would be great.
Thank you!

With Adobe Acrobat you can add links.

How to hyperlink a word in one pdf to open another pdf?

You can insert hyper-links in PDFs in Preview by clicking on Tools > Annotate > Add Link. The key is to point the link at the local file. The link should start with "file://" followed by the complete path to the file you want to open (e.g.: /Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf). In other words, the complete link will be: "file:///Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf".

Script to open another pdf attach to email and close the new pdf

I have a pdf that contais a movie and there is a link to send another pdf with a small version of that film to email i tried this code but without any luck
var myDoc = app.openDoc({cPath:"XXXXXX/cpi-028.bx.pdf"});
myDoc.mailDoc(true);
myDoc.closeDoc(true);
the link is working but after the small pdf opens nothing else works
Somebody please help me

If the PDF isn't already downloaded in the email then you should be able to do so by tapping on it.
If the PDF is open within the body of the email then press and hold it and after a second or so you should get a 'Open In' pop-up; otherwise (e.g. the PDF opens into a separate screen) then tap the PDF and you should get an icon top right of a box with an arrow coming out of it - tap that and you'll get the 'Open In' option

Opening another PDF from a specific path yielding error

Hello,
I'm trying to open a PDF (child.pdf) from a PDF(main.pdf). If the both the main.pdf and child.pdf reside in the same directory, the code below works fine.
app.openDoc("child.pdf");
However, if I move the child.pdf to c:\pdf_templates\child.pdf and modify the code to:
app.openDoc("c/pdf_templates/child.pdf");
I get the following error:
Exception in line 1 of function top_level, script XFA:form1[0]:#subform[0]:Button1[0]:mouseUp
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
App.openDoc:1:XFA:form1[0]:#subform[0]:Button1[0]:mouseUp
The error is to do with security settings preventing access to the another path. I have check and re-checked all security settings and I still get the error.
Any ideas on how I can overcome this issue???
Thanks,
Jose

Hi,
the error message in Acrobat is misleading.
There is no security setting blocking you from opening the form.
You really have an raise error, because the path you provided is not correct.
The absolut path has to begin with a leading slash (/).
app.openDoc("/c/pdf_templates/child.pdf");

Open another pdf from an existing pdf form

Hi Experts,
I have a complex 10 page interactive form with lots of user entered fields (100s of them) - on field validation I want to show another pdf having all the details of the invalid entries in the parent form. xfa.host.messageBox() does provide me with a popup, but the no of fields make it unsuitable for showing in a messageBox() instead I want it to be displayed in a separate pdf form which will open up once user clicks submit button on the form.
Also I would like to know if there is any way to link the second form to the first one so that when the user clicks on any entry of the validation error log in the second form he will be directed to the first form with the field having missing entry or wrongly populated being highlighted.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
Visually you can change the look and feel of the support pages, so that the user knows the form from the support:
Here is a form with a help button. The help pages are normally hidden and the users only sees these pages when they explicitly ask for them. Hitting the button will make the help pages visible and move the focus to the first help page.
The help pages have a blue background (the colour is visible on the screen, but doesn't print off - save ink):

Cannot open another PDF from within a PDF RDR 9.1

Hi, all. When I or one of our users tries to open a PDF from a "Table of Contents" PDF , i.e.
Table of Contents for Job CD30A9
Guide
42ACC845.pdf
42ACC84D.pdf
42ACC84E.pdf
42ACC84C.pdf
The guide opens but not the other documents. The other documents open fine if clicked on individually. They are password protected (all but guide.pdf).
This is what I get with Process Monitor:
1:52:45.5500328 PM AcroRd32.exe 2372 RegOpenKey HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Installer SUCCESS Desired Access: Read

Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

PDF in browser won't open another PDF

I've built a Flash Projector file that opens a PDF on a CD (in the same folder as the Projector file) using getURL, so the PDF opens in a browser Window. That part works fine, however within the PDF that opens are links to other PDFs on the CD. When you click on the links you get a message asking do you want to Block, Allow or Cancel access to the second PDF. When I click Allow, nothing happens. There is no error message and certainly teh PDF does not open.
How do I get the secondary PDFs to open? If I open the initial PDF directly from the CD all the links work fine and open the PDFs without question, it is only when it is opened in a browser that I get asked the security question which does nothing in response.

Well, as I explained, I'm launching a Flash Projector file with a button that opens the PDF. I'd always understood that the only way to launch a PDF from Projector on a CD was to use getURL, which launches a browser. If there's some other way I'd love to know.
I too get the security question of Block, Allow or Cancel but nothing happens when I click allow. No error message and certainly no PDF popping up. The links are correct because when I open the PDF directly it works, it's only when the PDF is open in a browser that it doesn't. I can open other PDFs in a browser with fully pathed URLs to PDFs on web sites and they work, it's only linking to a relatively pathed file on the CD that doesn't.

Having a button open another PDF document or image

Hello,
I have been trying to get the app.openDoc("filename"); to open a different PDF document with no luck. We currently have our employees fill out a form while completing a tour of a store. What I would like to do is have the employee click a button to open a PDF of a document that would show what an acceptable uniform would be. I have tried using this for both a PDF and a jpg image, neither of which have worked. I tried every variation and thing I have read online, but I am now lost... Any help?
Thanks,
Justin

Maybe your filename path is off? Try putting the pdf in a folder called 'temp' on your c drive and use:
app.openDoc("/c/temp/mypdf.pdf");
Just to see if it works.

Is there a way to open another pdf via a button in my (pdf embedded) flash movie?

My Acrobat 9 pro pdf, contains an ActionScript 2.0 swf, added via the Flash tool, on the multimedia toolbar.
The Flash file contains an animation introducing a collection of linked pdf files.
At the end of the intro a button appears, which when clicked, should replace the current pdf with one of the linked ones.
Is it possible to do this inside actobat?
Regards Maxwell

Thank you. That’s all I need to know.

Open a PDF report from a PDF report

I would like to open a PDF report from a PDF report, but in a new IE window.
I have the following code attached to an item in the report:-
function F_RECONFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
IF trim(:btch_ref) = 'PL' and trim(:recon) is not null and trim(:recon) <> ' ' then
srw.set_font_weight(srw.bold_weight);
srw.set_font_style(srw.underline_style);
srw.set_text_color('blue');
srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('onMouseover "window.status="Click here to see what is in your shopping basket"; return true"'||'onMouseout ="window.status=" "; return true"');
srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?cmdkey=famis+desformat=pdf+report=FAMREP011+p_orderno='||trim(:recon));
srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target=_blank');
-- srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target="_blank"');
END IF;
return (TRUE);
end;
All of the commands work except for the 2 srw.set_hyperlink_attrs commands. The "onMouseover" and the "target" seem to have no effect. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Michael

The built in srw.set_hyperlink_attrs does not work , if the report format is PDF. There is no way to open another PDF report from a PDF report in a seperate window. Also think there is no way to hide URL which apperars when the mouse pointer moves over the hyperlink.
In other report formats like HTML, the built in srw.set_hyperlink_attrs works.

When opening a pdf file on my HP laptop, MS 8.1, i can only open or print one file. I can't close the file once opened or open anuything else unless i restart the laptop.

Help. Am not a techie, don't have a clue on fixing the issue. I open a pdf. and when i try to open another, the original one comes up. Same for printing. I can only open another pdf. after i reboot.

If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
-Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
-Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

I cannot view PDF in Firefox at the first time but once I manually open the PDF file from my local computer, I can view other PDF files via Firefox webbrowser

I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much

Hi there!
I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get.
