PDF Portfolio on Flash ActiveX

Is there any way to open PDF Portfolio's SWF file in Flash ActiveX (Visual C++ project)? How to implement communications between Flash ActiveX and its container? I know that Adobe has public PDF Reference and PDF portfolio is a part of this, but I can’t find any information about viewing PDF Portfolio content.

I was looking for it but I could not find. Please, give me the directions where I can find that documentation. Give me the link or send that documentation to [email protected] I'll be very grateful for any information concerning this subject. Can you tell me also what company has implemented viewing of PDF Portfolios with this method?

  • Troubleshooting Adobe Acrobat PDF Portfolios and Flash Player

    Urgent Issue. We have a large number of corporate reference files in Adobe PDF Portfolios, created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
    (1) Since Adobe moved the Flash Player to a separate stand-alone app, the contents of the existing PDF Portfolios are not visible or accessible.
    (2) I created a new PDF Portfolio to troubleshoot the problem. After adding files to the Portfolio the files are not visible either. Adding the same file a second time triggers a message that the file already exists, but the file is not visible in any of the layouts.
    I get a message that I need to have Adobe Flash Player as a separate app when I open existing PDF Portfolios and it provides a link to the download page. But my computer already has Flash Player 11 installed as a separate app.
    How do I get Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat 9 to play together to restore the original functionality?

    I found the followinginformation on Adobe’s website which indicates rendering flash content wasturned off in v9.5.1 - http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/04/background-on-security-bulletin-apsb12-08.

    When you get the error, itrefers you to a webpage with a link for a flash player download:

    Please note that The Adobe flash player you have installed on your machien is different from the NPAPI version of flash player. So you need to have both of these versions of Falsh player installed on your machine.

  • Acrobat XI on Win8.1 asks for Flash to create a Pdf Portfolio?

    I've been running Acrobat X for a year or so and have created many pdf portfolios, but recently installed a trial version of Acrobat XI on my Windows 8.1 PC.  I then tried to create a portfolio from scratch, selected the files and got a message "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." 
    The Flash Installer link nor the ActiveX link will download for me and when I read further I find out that Win8.1 already includes Flash built in.  I go to the Flash test page and it tells me I have the latest Flash version installed.  I also do the Internet Explorer recommended checks (Shockwave, ActiveX filtering), all to no avail.  I don't know what else to try?  Any thoughts... 

    When I click on the “Plugin” and select “Save As” I try to save to my Desktop the File name: install_flash_player_exe.  The yellow bar at the bottom immediately says “ install_flash_player_exe couldn’t be downloaded.”  I try the “Retry” button multiple times to no avail.  I then select the “View downloads” button and it shows that it only downloaded 254 bytes of said file from the site “fpdownload.macromedia.com” and the message “This file couldn’t be downloaded.”

  • PDF Portfolio without Adobe Flash

    In Acrobat, is there anyway to create a PDF Portfolio, or otherwise combine separate PDF files into one, without using Adobe Flash. Our IT people do not want us using Flash because of security concerns (sorry Adobe).

    Basically, no. The "Portfolio" of Acrobat 9, X and XI *is* the Flash UI wrapped in the PDF.
    You could approach it in the manner that Adobe took with Acrobat 8.
    Again, the core content would be the attached files. The PDF with the attachments is a traditional PDF.
    Be well...

  • Adobe Reader not opening PDF Portfolio - Flash player error

    I have Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my PC and I created a PDF Portfolio. Acrobat Standard can open that Portfolio just fine.
    I also have Acrobat Reader installed (11.0.2).and have Adobe Flash Player (11.7.700.169) installed. Both Reader and Flash Player work fine independently on PDF or Flash content.
    However when I try to open the PDF portfolio with Reader, I get the following Error:
    :"To view the Flash technology in this FDF file; please install this version of Flash player that supports Adobe reader and Acrobat".
    The Dialog box with the message above has a [Proceed to download page] button (which does nothing but bring up Reader with a black page), a [Learn more] button (similar behavior), and a [Cancel] button.  Both Reader and Flash are the latest versions as of today (4/16/2013).
    Any help or insight with this is appreciated.
    Thanks !

  • Adding Flash to PDF Portfolio Welcome Page

    I have been having trouble adding my flash file to the welcome page in my PDF portfolios. I have hunted through the documentation but I have not found any specific trouble shooting for this issue. The docs say you can add an swf or flv but nothing about formats, settings or configurations that it my or may not accept.
    What I have done so far is export a standard .swf formatted for Flash 10 at 600px square and try to place it in the welcome page. When I try and drag it I get the "no" symbol (circle with a line through it) and if I use the choose file dialog it just shows up as nothing. I could really use some help here.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ben Ross

    Problem persists. Does anybody have information on getting flash files to play nice with acrobat? Also having some trouble with the contents on the portfolio not displaying. At all. it ends up looking like an empty 20mb file. any help is welcome.
    Thanks.

  • Using Flash/Actionscript to create PDF Portfolio Navigator

    Hi Guys
    We've been using Acrobat Pro Extended to create PDF
    Portfolio's for a wee while now, and now in order to create a
    'fresh look', my boss is wanting to create custom navigators.
    As the programmer of the team, I've looked into it and found
    out that it involves Actionscripting/Flex. While I'm a decent
    enough programmer, Actionscript isnt something I've used before, so
    I was wondering if there were any online guides or books I could
    buy that
    specifically show how to create a customer navigator for a pdf
    portfolio.
    Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.

    I also have the same goal except I am not even a decent
    programmer. I am actively looking for a place to download the
    working Carosel that is kind of advertised as a capability of
    Acrobat. Even if someone was selling it...I just wanted to chime in
    for support on the topic.

  • Acrobat XI Pro - I see a blank screen in PDF portfolio

    I am not sure what I'm supposed to see but after creating a pdf portfolio and choosing 5 files, all I see is a blank screen.  I try to add files again (thinking I did somehting wong) an it says they are already there.  Help if you can.  I'm new to this program but not to computers.   This is what I see after adding files.  Thank you!

    Hi Dave,
    I have the same problem except when I click the button to install Flash (I have the latest anyway) Acrobat hangs.

  • Cannot copy and paste descriptions in PDF Portfolio

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 on a Windows 7 laptop.  Since a recent update I am unable to copy the description in a PDF Portfolio and paste it back.  I used to be able to copy the description; delete the file; add an updated file and then paste the description back.  Now I have to re-type the description.  I cannot event copy and paste a description from another PDF portfolio.  Can you advise why this is so and is there a workaround?

    Adobe does not report the progress of bug reports to the public, nor can I comment on the timescale for any future updates or what they may contain. Priority is of course given to the current Acrobat X Family and recently-announced Acrobat XI Family.
    Copy/paste between all the file details fields in PDF Portfolios is fully functional in Acrobat X Pro (which currently has a captive install of Flash Player) and in Acrobat XI Pro (which does not). I don't have an install of 9.5.1 to test your bug report against, but whatever is causing the issue in your case it's not an intentional change.

  • Dynamic Header help in PDF Portfolio

    Need some help please, to create and load a Dynamic Header when creating a PDF Portfolio in LiveCycle ES2.  Have input parameter of a [name] and an [image file] to place in the Header.  Process flowing out of Assembler (PDF Generator).  Currently other PDFs being inserted within the Portfolio, and Navigation parameter being received ok, and setting up custom navigation.  Any help w/ creating Dynamic Header is very much appreciated.

    By "Dynamic Header" do you mean the PDF cover page, or the interactive portfolio navigator?
    If its the cover page then it should be a fairly easy thing to do.  You can create a form (XDP or PDF template) with a field for the name and one for the image.  Then you would use something like LC Forms or Form Data Integration to merge the data (image and name) with the template.
    The one thing you would have to do is to put the image and data into an XML format before you merge it with the form. That means you will need to convert the image to a base64 encoded format.  Fortunately there is a built in function for doing the conversion in a SetValue operation (its under Document Object Functions).
    If you are talking about the Navigator (portfolio shell) then it gets a bit more tricky.  The navigator is actually a Flex application and not a PDF.  You'll have to code a new one using Flash Builder, then import the resulting .nav file into your LiveCycle application. Merging the data with it is not something I've done before, but it should be possible (the LiveCycle Interactive Statement Solution Accelerator does something similar).
    If it is new navigator you need, check out some of the following links:

  • PDF Portfolio, consistent attachment panel size

    Hello,
    I have created a PDF portfolio in Pro v9.
    In my attachments panel, the attachment icons are lined up in one column.
    When I send this portfolio to others (they have v9), the icons in the attachments panel are lined up in 2 columns.
    Is there a way to set this so there is a consistent view?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Hi Jim,
    You need to have full Flash Player on your system to view content in PDF Portfolios when using Acrobat/Reader 10.x or 11.x.
    Please refer https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-acrobat-reader.html

  • PDF Portfolio SDK setup - Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder 4.6 does not show

    Hello, Experts
    I am trying to build PDF Custom Navigator using Adobe PDF Portfolio SDK; however, for some reason, when performing step 3 of installation, Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder  (  4.6 ) would not show;
    The plugins have been extracted to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
    The NavigatorSupport folder has been extracted to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse and ( just in case ) to
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\
    any advice would be greatly appreciated
    Best Regards,
    -Alex

    as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine

  • How can I open a PDF portfolio in an ipad mini ?

    I am new in Apple things and the first one I get (ipad mini) is not able to open a PDF porfolio with 30 pages. All I get is a message suggesting me to download Adobe Reader which I did but still the same and all I can get after is open only the first page of the portfolio but no way to navigate through the document. Would someone help ?

    When a portfolio PDF is opened in Adobe Reader for iOS, what you will get is a list of the documents that are included in the portfolio. A portfolio isn't a document with pages, it is a container for file attachments that has a Flash-based interface. Flash is not allowed on iOS as it is on a Windows or Mac OS, to the list of files is all you get.
    If you don't see the list of documents, then it may be that you're not opening the portfolio PDF in Adobe Reader, but rather iOS's built-in PDF viewer. Look for the Open In icon and select Adobe Reader if that's the case.
    If you're using the term "PDF portfolio" to refer to something else, post again and calrify exactly what you mean.

  • Acrobat 9 PDF Portfolio - setting size of swf content area

    Hi,
    I added a swf file to a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and it works fine when the portfolio is opened in Reader 9, except that the swf content area is small. I want it to occupy the entire page. How/Where do I set this?
    Thanks
    Vijay

    I've got this same problem. I add a SWF that's got a width and height of 792x612px. After using the Multimedia->Insert Flash tool the movie is resized to 320x240px and doesn't look right.
    Does anyone have any wisdom or insights that can help me understand what I'm missing? I'd love to solve this problem and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info related to this functionality online.
    Thanks,
    Scott
