Opening pdf in read mode by using command line

In adobe reader there is an option "Read mode"(In view menu). I want command line by which a pdf can be opened directly in read mode.

Not possible.

    Good afternoon,
    I need to open a PDF file in Reader 11 via Command Prompt. We are using a PDF in kiosk mode and I need to know the /a argument to run in Full Screen.  Thanks.

  • Split PDF by pages using command line options

    Hi,
    I am after a product to split a PDF file by pages / bookmark using command line options.  It would be good, if the product comes with functionality to call from VB/.NET SDK.
    I googled and came across many products, out of these following looks good.  Has anyone used this.  Please suggest me.

  • How to open url in acrobat reader using command line

    Hi,
    I need to open file from url using command line, but I'm still getting some error (wrong filename).

    You can't use a URL as parameter for AcroRd32.exe.

  • Unable to open pdf created with Acrobat Pro using Adobe Reader X

    Files created with some Adobe Professional applications such as Acrobat Pro ensure the file is small by excluding font information from the file.  Simple pdf creation applications embed the font in the file, which makes for transportability between apps but does make the files big.
    The problem i have experienced is that Adobe Reader X is one of the simple app varieties, so is unable to open, print, or read files created using Adobe Acrobat Pro..
    i'd welcome any help in (a) finding a free app that opens these 'pro pdf' files, OR (b) an option setting in Acrobat Pro which includes the font information in the file - or both!

    There are so many things wrong, around a tiny grain of truth, it really isn't worth examining. Not at this stage if you are more interested in getting things working.  It may be worth asking you though, since Reader doesn't even launch for you, how you came to focus on font embedding being the cause.
    Ok, Reader doesn't launch. Suppose you start Reader FIRST. Then use File > Open on your PDF.

  • Any known issues when programatically opening PDFs in Protected Mode on Windows 7?

    Hi all,
    We are a small development team that produces a Windows application that generates medical reports using a third party PDF library (PDF Creator Pilot) that are then automatically launched using the recommended Adobe Reader.
    I've come across a seemingly random problem with opening PDFs when Protected Mode is enabled, and I'm finding it hard to reproduce this field complaint so am wondering if there was any known workaround or if anyone has had similar issues.
    The problem occurs when we try to programatically open the PDF by a Win32 system call as follows, "ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "some_file.pdf", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);". In some cases we have complaints that nothing at all occurs when Adobe Reader should actually be launched, and sometimes the dialog as described in "http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reade r.html" appears. In all cases, if the users disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader the problem goes away. We've checked this troubleshooting guide and nothing in there seems to help our users so their problems persist.
    It should be noted that this was observed in both Adobe Reader X and XI.
    Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Chris.

    Thanks Pat!
    I've created the same question on the SDK forum so if anyone has any answers please reply there as it could also help other users.

  • How to print a specific page from a given PDF document, using command line, please?

    Hello,
    I need your advise, please. My customer requires to print a specfic page from a pdf document they receive, using command line or 3rd party solution.
    Anything you can advise, please? I have seen AcroRD32.exe options, but can only print the whole document.
    Kind Regards

    Not sure if there are any examples. The Acrobat SDK is a must, but it is best treated as documentation to study rather than examples to copy. The examples only illustrate a tiny fraction of the capabiliies.
    (One other note: the solution must involve the client owning Acrobat; Acrobat is not for server use).

  • Security question about opening PDFs in Reader as opposed to Standard or Professional

    Our ITC wants us to open all downloaded PDFs in Acrobat Reader 9 as opposed to Acrobat 7.0 Standard. We currently have both. We download a lot of PDFs and frequently need to Reduce File Size or extract pages, etc. I am hoping to upgrade my Acrobat 7.0 Standard to Professional 9.
    Is there a valid security reason to always open first in Reader? Based on what I have read Acrobat Reader 9 and Professional 9 both had security risks and it is my understanding that a patch has been released today.
    Is there a security risk still for Acrobat Professional 9 and is there a security risk for Acrobat Standard 7.0? Does requiring us to download, save and open PDFs in Reader 9 first make sense from a security standpoint?
    Thanks very much for any input.

    I don't remember any claims that Reader was safer than Acrobat. I use Acrobat exclusively and Adobe recommends against installing both due to conflicts (they use a lot of the same files). The biggest factor to be careful about is to not open any attachments or applications that may be built in. These can be put in the PDF and both Acrobat and Reader open such tools. I would tend to question the basis for the IT folks decision, particularly based on the Adobe recommendation and problems that it creates. At least that is my opinion.

  • How to use command line with acrobat to extract page(s) from pdf file?

    I have adobe acrobat, and have a pdf file with over 500 pages. I need to extract small chunks of pages from it as seperate pdf files. I was hoping I could use command line interface to do this faster.
    Something like:
    acrobat src des start end
    so for example
    adobe file.pdf my_folder 3 5
    Is this possible? There are many chunks and I don't want to manually do it for every chunk. Command line would be much easier...
    Thanks

    I can't find any programs... sorry.
    Can you create one for me please.
    It should at least have these 5 arguments: (well the first one is not neccessary since were not using acrobat anymore...)
    [program] [src path/src file] [destination path/file name] [start page (inclusive)] [end page (inclusive)]
    for example:
    acrobat ./my_file.pdf ./my_folder/chunk1.pdf 3 5
    if start page == end page, then it only extracts that one page.
    So this way I can just stack these comands on a .bat file or something (maybe like 100 commands), then run the bat file, and it will create all the files.
    Thanks for doing this, it is appreciated.

  • Can I convert Word 2003 to PDF using Command Line

    Hello All,
    We have a document generation tool which generates documents in Word 2003 format. The document generation is initiated by the user and the process of generating document is on a remote server. The word file is sent back to the user in word format.
    We would like to convert this doc file to PDF/A format. And we would like to do it programatically, may be using command line arguments. Is it possible?
    Realistically, it is not possible that all the users will have Adobe writer installed in their desktops. In this case, it is possible that Adobe writer is installed in a server and the documents can be converted remotely using command lines?
    Your support on this will be very helpful for us.
    Thanks & Regards

  • I cannot open PDF files when I am using Firefox, how can I fix this?

    I cannot open PDF files while I am using Firefox. This is true for opening PDF pages in Firefox and outside of Firefox.

    I ran into the same problem, and here is what I have done to fix it.
    Go to Tools/Add-ons
    You might have to get the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (Likely 10.x.....)
    On any exiting Adobe Acrobat Reader select disable (to disable the plug-in)
    If you have already gotten the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader just disable any earlier version.
    There is no official way to uninstall a plug-in so this it the workaround.
    If you do need to uninstall the plugin you need to type about:config ....about:plugins search for the article to do it.

  • Read in file name + path using command line arguments

    Hi guys,
    I am trying to use command line arguments to read in the name of two files. The code below works as long as the files are on the class path.
    public class cmdLineArguments {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              String xmlFile1 = args[0];
                    String xmlFile2 = args[1];
              System.out.println ("\nXmlFile1: " + args[0] + "\nXmlFile2: " + args[1]);
    }I would like to be able to read files that are not on the class path as well by entering their full path along with their names.
    In other words, It works if I type:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs file1.xml file2.xmlbut not if I type:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlWould anyone please explain how I can edit the code to make it work? I guess I could take them both as a String, modify them manually (add a \ to it etc) but is there an easier way to do it? Even a reference to a tutorial, article etc about this would be very much appreciated.
    Also, any idea why a code would compile and run fine in Eclipse but would create an error from command line?
    Thanks a lot.

    You need to learn about cmd.exe which is used to process the command line. The arguments passed to any program is the command line split at white space so your command line arguments of
    c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlis turned into an array of
    "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml", "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"In other words instead of 2 arguments you actually have 6.
    To get round this the file names need to be quoted
    java cmdLineArgs "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml" "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"

  • How can I create a NetBoot image using command line tools?

    Is it possible to create a NetBoot image entirely using command line tools?
    (That is, without using the SystemImageUtility)
    If so, are there reasonable instructions posted somewhere?
    I don't believe I can use SystemImageUtility with my current setup,
    but I would be happy to hear how I could:
    I have a set of Xserve clusternodes but without optical drives or video cards.
    One node acts as the head, running DHCP, DNS, OpenDirectory, Xgrid.
    They are wired to a gigabit switch.
    I have a PowerBook connected on the subnet which has ServerAdmin Tools installed.
    I don't think when I run SystemImageUtility on my PowerBook that I can successfully image one of the clusternodes disks over the network.
    I have tried to start one node in target(Firewire) mode, connect it via Firewire
    to the head node, and run hdiutil from the head node to make a complete disk image of the clusternode's drive.
    But a NetBoot image requires the whole nbi file, right?
    Could I then use copy this disk image to my PowerBook and use SystemImageUtility on my PowerBook to create a NetBoot image from it?
    I really have tried to read the PDFs, but I found the section on System Imaging in the Command Line Reference rather unhelpful.
    Thanks for anyones help.

    To create a NetBoot image, you could just put the cluster node in target mode and attach it to your PowerBook. Then use SIU to create the NetBoot image.
    If you're trying to create a backup image of the disk, use hdiutil, or put in in target mode and create the image with Disk Utility.

  • Print using command line

    Hello experts,
    As mentioned in http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/52080.htm we can use command line instruction to open a pdf file in Acrobat Reader and print it.
    Does anyone know if this works both in Windows and in UNIX?
    Thank you.
    Gie Kian Siauw

    Hi Gie,
    On Unix, you can use commandline instruction to create ps files from the pdf files.
    for eg. "acroread -toPostScript -pairs a.pdf a.ps"
    You can also pipe the ps output to a printer.
    for eg: "acroread -toPostScript -pairs a.pdf - | lp -d <Printer Name>
    This is a headless process of printing pdf files without the launching of acroread.
    The file is not opened in the acroread and just printed.
    Regards,
    Rishi

  • Go Online on specific network using command line

    i have a remote troubleshooting software that i wrote myself i have added to it the list of all my clients which can have one of the below:public ipsteamviewer accountslogmein hamachiof course, i'm a paid hamachi client, and i have the latest hamachi version installed whenever i want to troubleshoot any client, i just right click on their name, and select remote desktop.. and the my software will automatically connect to the client using the required authentication/application. when the client has hamachi,his network has to be online, for me to be able to access his ip. so what i'm currently doing is: open hamachi, scroll to my client's network, right click, go online, and then back to my software and troubleshoot! (this is a bit time consuming compared to the other solutions) is there any way, i can go online on a specific network in my local hamachi installation? it would be really a great feature, if we can use a command line script, or use command line arguments to launch special events (locally)example:hamachi.exe /online:mynetworkidhamachi.exe /offline:mynetworkid i appreciate any feedback on this, regards,Dan

    Yes, It would be very interesting to have such a feature.E.g., I need to programmatically request Hamachi to GoOnline, because it often goes offline in some circumstances (after computer wakes from sleep mode for example).
