Opening pdf in AIR HTML browser developed using Flex

Hi,
I am trying to open a PDF in AIR Browser. The Air browser supports this only if i have installed the Acrobat reader 8.1 and above, for versions lower than 8.1 it is not supporting and not opening the PDF file. In another scenerio I have installed both Acrobat reader 9 and Acrobat proffessional 7 but the Air browser fails to open the PDF because it comparing the version against proffesssional instead reader. Actually the pdf should open in AIR browser since I have installed Acrobat Reader 9. Please suggest how to overcome this issue.

I'm not sure I quite follow your original question. If you are asking if you load a local html file or set the htmltext of a HTML control in Adobe AIR and want to use @font-face, then I defer to Joe's answer.
But, if you set the location to a page on a web server and you have Adobe Air 1.5 installed, then @font-face does work. I tested this on two pages. One is http://www.taptaptap.com/ and the font Fertigo (which I don't have installed on my machine) showed up. I also tested it on http://www.zeldman.com/dwws/ which has fallback support for IE 4 and up. Some things to remember, IE does not support the format attribute in @font-face. And IE only supports .eot file format. However, as Joe mentioned, using local to see if the font is installed on the users machine to prevent blank space from showing, is not supported. Please refer to the list of unsupported web-kit features Joe mentions in another post.

  • What can I do to rectify the situation in which Firefox will not open pdf files in the browser, even though I have already used all the help suggestions to no avail?

    I have tried everything Mozilla has suggested. Still when I click on a pdf, I get the message that the browser cannot open a pdf. I have gone through the help protocol, and it does not work.
    I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, and still not able to open pdf files within the browser.
    What else do I do, except go to IE or Chrome and just leave Firefox completely???

    A possible cause is the presence of a PDF plugin from an older Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

  • Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

    Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hello,
    Please see the support article below for full information on viewing PDF in Firefox:
    [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
    If you want to use Firefox's built in PDF viewer (i.e. not a plugin) then you will need to ensure that any PDF plugins are uninstalled from Firefox and that 'Preview in Firefox' is selected as the Action for PDF files (see screenshot below).
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

  • Parameters for opening PDF files in a browser

    I read some of the posts about making a text link from an html page to a specific location in a pdf document in the browser.  I set up the parameters, as I understand it, according to the document "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The result from my test took me to the top of page 1, not to the bookmark on page 3 that I specified. See the link below. What is wrong with the parameters?
    http://www.tabardtheatre.org/YPASCfolder/2012/SummerYouthProgram2012.pdff#page=3&bookmark= anniejr
    You can also go to the website: http://www.tabardtheatre.org/audition.html and click on the text link (in blue).

    The PDF Open Parameters do not contain the option to link directly to a bookmark, as was mentioned, but I've developed a script that can add this functionality to your files. Have a look here, if you're interested: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/acrobat-link-to-specific-bookmark-in.html

  • Can't open pdf files in Safari browser windows (bank website window) after I installed Adobe Reader 11update on my Mac last night

    I previously had Adobe Reader 9, which worked perfectly.

    Here's EXACTLY what happens:  I am in a Safari browser website and try to open a pdf file (my bank statement).  When I click on the link I get this message in a black window: "Adobe Reader.  Before viewing a PDF file in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."  So I launch Adobe Reader but there is no End User License Agreement to accept.  I have done this several times with no result.  I am using a MacBook Air with OS 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5.

  • Issue with opening pdf file from web browser

    I have Acrobat Pro ver 6 and Adobe Reader 9.1 on a computer.  when my user tries to open up a pdf from the web he is getting the following error message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a WEb Browser.  Adbe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  Please exit and try again."
    What also happens is that Acrobat Pro ver 6 opens up and nothing is there.
    I am not sure why he is getting that message since Reader 9.1 is installed.
    Can any one shed some light on this for me.
    This user needs to have Acrobat and Reader on his system.  I understand that there are issues with having both.
    Also he has it set up so that any PDF is opening using the Reader 9.1.
    Thanks,

    Your PC's default reader configuration for embedded PDFs has become confused, due to multiple Adobe PDF document solutions installed on one PC.
    Solution 1:
    Go to Start > Run
    Type regedit and click OK.
    Browse to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    Make sure that the correct Default data value is set for the path where Adobe Reader or Acrobat are installed.
    The default installation values are:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    or
    "C:\Program Files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (not sure about this path.  Check on your PC to be sure)
    depending on whether Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat is installed.
    Solution 2:
    Configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application.
    If you are using Firefox to browse the web, you can change this setting in Firefox by going to:
    Tools > Options
    Click on the "Applications" Tab.
    The first item in the list should be "Adobe Acrobat Document".  Under the Action list, click the drop down arrow and select the application you want to read PDFs within the web browser.  Click OK, and you should be done.
    If you're using Internet Explorer to view PDFs, try the below steps.
    After you configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application, the browser starts the helper application in a separate window and displays PDF files within that window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader both include a preference that lets you specify Acrobat or Adobe Reader as the helper application.
    To configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application:
    Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Select Internet on the left.
    Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.
    Quit Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    The next time you select a link to a PDF file in the browser, a dialog box asks what you would like to do with the file. If you select Open It, the browser opens the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader (the helper application); if you select Save It To Disk, the browser saves the PDF file to your hard drive.

  • How can I open pdf files in safari browser without installing Adobe reader?

    I do not wish to use adobe reader. I just uninstalled it and now I can't view pdf files in preview when attempting to open the file in safari browser.  How can set safari to open any pdf files using preview application?

    Copy the text below, including the initial /
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Switch to Finder, then use the Go menu - Go to Folder command & paste in the text, clicking Go afterwards.
    A Finder window should open, showing various plug-in files. Trash any that are for Adobe or PDF. You'll be asked for an admin name & password.

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.1 won't open PDF files from IE7 Browser

    We are using Windows XP SP2 on our network and have recently installed Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and IE7. However this has thrown up a large amount of problems as now any link, for example 'http://somesite.co.uk/somepdf.pdf' will not open a pdf file, just a blank browser page! Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it, or have come across this also?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Cannot open PDF tutorials in Inspiration Browser?

    Hello, I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 & with it I would like to try using the Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser tutorials.  However, every time I try to open a PDF tutorial on the Inspiration Browser I get an error message stating, "A sufficient version (8.1 or later) of Adobe Reader is detected, but the version of Adobe Reader that is setup to handle PDF content is older than Reader 8.1."
    I do have 2 Adobe programs (other than Elements) on my computer.  I have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0, & then I have Adobe Reader 9.  I am using my work computer for this & we have to have both Standard 6.0 & Reader 9 for work purposes.  My computer is set to automatically use Standard 6.0 if I click a PDF file, but I've tried changing this for the time being & the PDFs in the Inspiration Browser still will not open (I get the same error message even though if I click a PDF file on my computer with these settings changed Reader 9 does open it).  I'm not sure why this is happening, because if I change the "open with..." settings to automatically use Reader 9 when I click a PDF, then it should be working in the Inspiration Browser, shouldn't it?  The error message is stating I need 8.1 or later, which I obviously have with Reader 9.
    I've tried restarting the Inspiration Browser (even tried restarting Elements as well), I've tried already having Reader 9 open when I click the "View PDF" button, but nothing is working.  I just always get the same error message.
    I obviously cannot delete/uninstall Standard 6.0 as I need it for my work, so I'm not sure what to do.  If anyone knows a way to fix this, please share?  Thanks!!!

    Have you tried posting in the Photoshop.com forum? It's doesn't have an icon but is listed in the pull down search box.

  • I cannot open pdf files in my browser

    Adobe Reader 10.1.1 will not open pdf files from the web.  Operating system:  Mac OS X 10.6.6.  No problem with previously downloaded files.

    Hi Vikram,
    I have this trouble in Firefox, and Safari, and Chrome. I can no longer open .pdf documennts on line in any browser configuration.
    I have tried serveral browser versions and serveral Reader versions, same result. Running Mac OS 10.6.8, just after a full rebuild and this is the most annoying result.
    I do have the above suggestion checked, which I believe is the default setting, as I was always able to use a single cilck to open all .pdf files. Noticed this first with download of most current Reader. Currently have 9.5.2.
    It began when I installed most current version after the rebuild of the OS.
    Any help would be gratefully appeciated.
    Thanks,
    Jay
