Opening .ppt or .pdf files from flash site

I'm trying to open a .ppt file directly into powerpoint or a
.pdf file directly into adobe reader. When I use the GetURL
actionscript they always open in IE. Is it possible and how do I do
it? I'm a newbie to flash so please keep your explanations simple

Hi,
I read your thread with great interest and it sounds exactly
like what I'm looking for. The only downside is I can't seem to get
it to work. I have detailed below what I need to happen and what I
think I need to do to make it happen.
What I need to happen:
Open a .pdf or a .ppt in Adobe Reader or Powerpoint (for
respective file extensions) by clicking on a button contained on a
.swf movie. The scenario is that the .swf file is located in C:\My
Folder\flash.swf and the .pdf or .ppt are in the same folder.
What I need to do to make it happen:
Create a folder in the following location C:\My
Folder\fscommand
Create a .bat file (called pdflauncher.bat) and save it in
C:\My Folder\fscommand - the .bat file has the code start
\myfile.pdf
Create a button on the .swf file with the actionscrip as
below:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "pdflauncher.bat");
This is what I've done based on reading through your previous
thread but it doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Colin

The problem is definitely between my safari and Adobe.
I can open documents in emails. But not something like this.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
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.

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Safari will not open or download pdf files from web?

Safari will not open or downlaod pdf files from web? IS there a setting, or something else to do this?

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

Plug-in PDF, Internet Explorer, unable to open a pdf file from web site. Question mark

Hello,
A computer where Acrobat 9 Standard and Acrobat Reader 9 have been installed.
When I try to read a pdf file from a web site and read it in IE, I get a popup whith a question mark and no text.
The pdf file is not open.
I have try to reinstall the last reader but the problem is not solved.
Thanks for your help.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Try using Protected Mode Off. Then you will be at the same level of security that those other programs are running at. You could also try elevating the iexplore.exe task. That would turn off Protected Mode in that task automatically but then
you would be running also with Administrator level authority which might be excessive.

Can I open an encrypted pdf file from Dropbox with my iPhone, iPad, or iPad Mini?

Mac OS 10.9.3 encrypts a pdf file using Acrobat XI, then sends it to Dropbox. Mobile device retrieves encrypted file from Dropbox. Then can mobile device user open (unencrypt) the pdf file?

George, you wrote something that encouraged me to try to encrypt a PDF document again using the security icon on the menu bar of my old Acrobat 8 Professional. It worked this time (it wouldn't encrypt on my first try, and I wrongly assumed that it wasn't compatible with Maverick OS). I dropped document into Dropbox, retrieved it with mobile devices; and when I tapped on the document, it simply asked for the password and opened perfectly. When moving to a different screen, then back to the secured PDF file, one must re-enter the password again (which is good).
As far as what PDF viewer -- I don't know. I have the Acrobat Reader APP on my devices, is that the reader the document is using?? I've never figured out which APPs are running at any particular time on these devices.
Many, many thanks for your reply!!

Adobe Reader X 10.1.1: Can't open or download PDF-file from bank

Hello,
I make internet banking and try to download a PDF-file from the HTTPS-page of my bank. If I click on the Java Script-link to the PDF-file the PDF-file does not open. I can also not download the PDF-file. I talked with the bank support and they told me that they had no such problem.
Thank you for your help.

Have installed maverick and now can't open any new pdf files from internet. I can open old ones

I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents. Any one any ideas what i need to do?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application 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.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
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 by pressing 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.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 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.

The proper way to handle other file formats (even where it is really a PDF that has been "wrapped") is to create an AVConversionHandler.
To load a PDF from a source other than the file system, you need to create a custom AVFileSys.

Hi valerieross,
Acrobat can be used to view pdf's or edit pdf's not download them.
Check your browser settings.
If you are referring to viewing pdf's in browser, then please check the following : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html

Can't open or save PDF files from websites from Firefox 4.0

Upgraded to FF4 recently. Now when I click on a link to a PDF in a web site to open with PDF Viewer, get an error message saying PDF Viewer could not repair file. With Adobe Reader 9.4, I get a message saying There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. No problems opening PDFs from IE9. Is this a bug in FF4? Should I go back to FF3?

After going through your mail i have realised that I had to go through the same problem once as I could not open word file in MS word.As I am not quite an expert regarding computer related matter one of my friend advised me to seek help from supportonclick and as I did so it just took a moment to get rid off the problem. As you have tried a number solve the problem I suggest you to seek their support and I hope it will help you to get out of this hazards.All the best.
