Opening PDF in browser using Adobe API - with mark up and comment features

Hey,  
Here is the scenario :   Firstly, the user has to review the file (say pdf) before approving it. I would like to open the pdf file in the browser directly for reviewing. Also, I want to add some mark up (sticky notes, etc) and comment features while reviewing. Using these features, the user can pin point the mistakes directly in the file and revert the file for changes if any.  
And as part of implementation, I would like to use Adobe java API to do the same. But I couldn't find any code snippets for using this API.  
Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This forum is only for discussions on the forums themselves. I would suggest that you start from the Acrobat forum,

  • Why can't I open pdf documents after using Adobe Reader security?

    I have been able to open pdfs perfectly well up until I changed the security settings on Adobe Reader.  As I read somewhere that Apples have an inbuilt pdf reader I trashed everything Adobe, but still can't open pdfs.  Tried using Preview  to no avail. 
    Is there some other way of opening pdfs without reinstalling Adobe?

    You didn't think of mentioning that in your first post?  So it's not Adobe Reader or Preview you are having problems with.  It's pdf's in your browser!
    For Safari, you need to remove the adobe pdf plugins which Adobe apparently screwed up.  You need to remove:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
    I think you can "get away with" removing just the second one.  But both for sure should allow you to open pdf's in a browser (all browsers).

  • Open pdf in browser using xfdf from asp

    I am attempting to open and fill with data a form created with Acrobat Pro 8.  I have created a test form with 2 fields and exported to an xfdf file.  I used the xfdf file to create an asp page that is supposed to open the form, filling the fields with the data specified in the xfdf.  When I open the asp page in my browser, Acrobat opens (not the IE plugin), with an error message that it cannot open the file.  It is either damaged or is not a supported file type.  I will include the xfdf file below and my asp page.  My question is, should this work?  And if so, what am I missing? If not, what format file/content-type do I need to use this method - FDF?  Thanks in advance for any help.<br /><br />My test machine is XP and IIS - Acrobat is 8 pro - ASP is vbscript<br /><br />The original xfdf file:<br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"><br /><fields><br /><field name="Address"><br /><value>23 Ridge Ave</value><br /></field><field name="Name"><br /><value>Bob Smith</value><br /></field><br /></fields><br /><ids original="68ECBEB4D7F1984F9136D032C2F70874" modified="6A4B97BDCEF94142B2FC6D8C9A79EE53"/><br /><f href="Document.pdf"/><br /></xfdf><br /><br />My asp file:<br /><%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%><br /><%<br />Response.Buffer = true<br /><br />Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xfdf" <br /><br />Response.Write "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>"<br />Response.Write "<xfdf xmlns=""http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/"" xml:space=""preserve"">"<br />Response.Write "<fields>"<br />Response.Write "<field name=""Address"">"<br />Response.Write "<value>23 Ridge Ave</value>"<br />Response.Write "</field><field name=""Name"">"<br />Response.Write "<value>Bob Smith</value>"<br />Response.Write "</field>"<br />Response.Write "</fields>"<br />Response.Write "<ids original=""68ECBEB4D7F1984F9136D032C2F70874"" modified=""6A4B97BDCEF94142B2FC6D8C9A79EE53""/>"<br />Response.Write "<f href=""http://localhost/state/document.pdf""/>"<br />Response.Write "</xfdf>"<br />Response.Flush <br />Response.End <br />%>

  • Disabling open pdf in browser in adobe PRO XI not reader

    I have deployed adobe pro out to our user base and i understand in adobe PRO X there was a check box that would disable open pdf in a browser but that has gone away. I have gone under the preferences and on the internet section in PRO XI there is a link that takes you
    here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html I have created a GPO that disables the active X control in both IE 8 and IE 10 as you can see from this screen shot the adobe pdf reader is disabled so according to the instructions on the web all pdf files should open in PRO XI. This is not the case. The pdf will still open in the browser. I have checked the new customizations wizzard for adobe PRO XI and there is nothing to disable disply pdf in the browser to uncheck that i am aware of. I have read about the bdisablewebintegration but this have not worked either under the FeatureLockDown. In adobe reader you can go under the accessibilty options and disable open within a browser there but I have been unable to find that option in PRO XI. Had anyone found a fix for this issue to where it can be deployed out?
    Please let me know
    Thanks

    From the screenshot it looks like you have both Acrobat and Reader on the machine and only Reader is disabled.
    Check again. If you think the doc is incorrect, post back.
    --- more info ---
    All browser integration prefs were deprecated with 11.x because browser companies are releasing new versions every 6 weeks or more. It was simply not possible to keep pace without requiring admins to update every few weeks. Moreover, most browsers are gradually phasing out such plugins or at least disable them by default (e.g. Chrome). Many companies provide a browser-specific PDF viewer. Acrobat and Reader share the same config and there's nothing different between the two.

  • Pdf document browsing using adobe flex

    how can I have a panel that showing pdf doument using adobe flex 3

    Flash player do not have the necessary libraries to display PDF. But AIR runtime does ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=PDF_1.html ).
    Not a good solution, but somehow you need to convert the PDF to an SWF to be able to load it into a Flex panel.
    Iframe trick ( http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/ ) can also be applied here.

  • Opening pdf within app using Reader X with Acrobat 5.0 installed

    I have Acrobat 5.0 (full version) installed and also Reader X.  Acrobat 5 was installed 1st and has been my default.  But, I loaded Reader X because Acrobat 5 can't open many newer PDF's.  I have gone into Explorer and set Reader X as the "open with" application and double-clicking a PDF in Explorer results in Reader X opening the file.  The problem is within various applications which have menu links to PDF's.  Many of these still attempt to open the PDF with Acrobat 5.  I believe this may be more a Windows XP problem, but thought maybe someone might know what registry item I should look for to correct this problem since it is related to Acrobat.

    Adobe doesn't recommend the use of Reader X with anything but Acrobat X. Earlier versions of Acrobat and Reader (any version) will cause problems. Remove Acrobat, re-install Reader X and if needed upgrade to Acrobat X or Remove Reader X and re-install ACrobat 5.

  • Opening PDF from browser gets black page with white message box containing question mark in blue circle and an OK box that does nothing

    Both reader XI and acrobat pro 9 installed on computer.  Same error in both IE and Chrome.  Using 'save as' the document can be saved to desk top and opened from there.  There is a little flicker as if the document tried to open when black page first appears.

  • How do I un-check the box "Display PDF in browser" using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.0.0)?

    It is faded out and not allowing me the option.

    First of all, update your Acrobat to the latest version available for 9.
    Then, if you have Windows 8 it might still not be enough, as the two are
    not compatible.

  • Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

    Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

    I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top.  One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past.  I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward  compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation.  Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades.  Thanks

  • Open pdf in safari using: ACROBAT 9 PRO

    Hi,
    I am using safari 4.0.3 and Acrobat Pro 9 10.4.3. When I click a pdf file in safari, it opened with it default pdf viewer. However, I want to use acrobat to view pdf (in safari).
    Here are the solutions I've tried:
    1 Acrobat->Preference-> Internet->Display PDF in browser using-> Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3
    2 Acrobat->Help->Repair Acrobat Installation->adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin->Continue then it says successfully installed
    3 Safari->Help->Installed Plug-ins. I can NOT find acrobat/pdf plugin
    4 Library/Internet Plug-Ins: I CAN find AdobePDFViewer.pugin
    5 Users/My name/LIbrary/Internet Plug-Ins: I CAN ALSO find AdobePDFViewer.pugin
    6 When I open a pdf on my computer, it runs Acrobat 9
    NONE OF THESE ABove WORKS.
    Could anyone please give me some suggestions?
    Message was edited by: AndrewGH

    I would guess that Acrobat Pro isn't compatible with Safri 4.0.3 yet, and perhaps even 10.6, but only Adobe really knows, so you'd be better off asking them. If it's not, I'm sure they'll release a patch or update of some kind after 10.6 ships.
    If I were you, I'd uninstall the portion of Acrobat that normally works with Safari to render PDF files and use the built-in rendering abilit of Safari itself. Not only is that simpler, but Acrobat Pro is a huge memory hog.

  • Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader...

    Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

    I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

  • I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file from PDF or to PDF, I get the message "An error occured while trying to access the service.  What do I need to do to access the service paid for?

    I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service".  What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

    Hi DeaconTomColorado,
    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
    Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.
    Best,

  • Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

    using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

    You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
    There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

  • Trouble Setting "Display PDF in browser using" by MCX

    I want to force the PDF viewer in Safari to Mac OS X v10.6 built-in Preview Application instead of Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4.0).
    I found that unchecking "Display PDF in browser using:" in Acrobat's Preferences, sets the viewer in Safari to Preview. It seems unchecking this box modifies ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist. by creating the entry root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0.
    With that in mind I tried creating a MCX setting in my OD to apply root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0. Witch resulted in a grayed out, but checked settings for  "Display PDF in browser using:"
    I was wondering if any one has successfully figured out how to set this setting?

    Hi,
    Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
    To disable the plugin-
    1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
    2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
    3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
    4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
    5. Restart  Safari
    In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
    AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.
