PDF reading/parsing

In my application I have to extract some text from pdf file
(i.e. title and authors from the title page). Is it workable to do
so? I thought about using JavaScript features of Acrobat Reader, am
I going the right direction? - unfortunately I have little
knowledge regarding this matter.

Hi,
Using the javascript features of acrobat reader would be the
way to go. AIR can talk to the javascript in the PDF file.

IWebBrowser2.Type="Adobe PDF Reader". What is the Document?

Hi,
I'm displaying a PDF within the ActiveX IWebBrowser2 container and looking for a way to access (parse) the text. When displaying Excel files, Type is "Excel" and Document is a Workbook reference. When displaying PDFs, Type="Adobe PDF Reader", but what is the Document? I've come across threads that suggest it might be of type IAcroAXDocShim or CAcroPDDoc, but when trying to use their methods receive "class not registered". Re: "class not registered", is it necessary to install Adobe Acrobat? Why? Reader is installed. Seems to me there ought to be a way to access the text with the tools at hand, no?
Any help is appreciated!

Adobe don't offer such a facility in their controls, not even with Acrobat. If you want to find out more about the very rich programming interface to Acrobat, and the tiny programming interface to the free Adobe Reader, you should download and install the Acrobat SDK - many thousands of pages of documentation and a few examples (for illustration, not cannibalism).

How do I display the web address within Adobe PDF Reader 10 & IE 9 64-bit?

Until a week ago, I was using IE 9 32-bit version together with Adobe PDF Reader 10. When I would try to open a PDF file from within the browser, it would and the Web Address would continue to display at the top of the window while browing the PDF document. I could then continue using IE 9 and move on to other pages and etc...
Now, I have swtiched to using the IE 9 64-bit version. What happens now is that when I enter an address in the web browser and it's a direct link to a PDF file example: https://www.technicalindicatorindex.com/newsletter/bpdf/TII_Newsletter_1686a_10.11.11_7055 475115.pdf ), it opens up with no problems, but I no longer see the IE 9 Web Address shown anywhere. So in essence, that page becomes a Adobe PDF program window and I loose my IE 9 access. I guess the PDF files are no longer displayed within the browser (althought I have it check ON).
Am I missing something?

I did write there, but no replies
I guess that with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 running with IE 9.x in x64 bit mode, you cannot open the PDF within explorer, as it does it outside it as a separate Window?
Correct?

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

Issue while opening pdf reader on mac

Hi,
Please see enclosed image here. Whenever, Adobe pdf reader is open this window comes up on the screen.
I have installed latest version of Pdf reader (11.0.09) on latest version of Mavericks (10.9.5) on MBP.
Thanks
Chirag

Odd?! That appears to be a window of sorts. It has two buttons on the end. Are you able to close or expand the window by pushing one of them ?? It also appears to have a window expand handle on the lower right corner. Try dragging the handle to expand the window size and see what is there being displayed in the window.

E70 PDF Reader : Unable to open. File type not sup...

This morning I have bought an E70, among others due to its highscreen resolution and the possibility to run a PDF reader on it.
I have now tried ...
  - the pre-installed Adobe PDF Reader
  - the Adobe PDF Reader supplied with the PC Suite CD-ROM
  - the Adobe PDF Reader available on europe.nokia.com
I am fascinated by a software which presents itself in the About box as '1.5', prompts during installation for '1.0.5' and has filenames '1_5_0'.
Apart from minor variations in the SIS filenames they all share the same annoying feature: They refuse to display any of my PDF files but display a message 'Unable to open. File type not supported. 5. !' instead.
It doesn't seem to be a problem of the PDF files, since a collegue of mine was able to open them on his E61 or E70 (forgot to ask).
Any idea what this problem could be caused by?

I am speechless -- but happy.
The complaint about the file type only appears if you try to open a PDF stored in the phone memory but not if you try to open a PDF stored on the memory card.
Problem solved.

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

PDF Reader not printing after upgrading to Windows 8.1

After installing the Windows 8.1 update, the PDF Reader doesn't print. Documents don't even show up in the queue. I'm able to print from desktop apps (i.e., Photoshop, Word, etc.) just fine so it appears to be strictly a Reader issue.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Richard

Hi,
Please locate to Windows Charm menu, click Settings, change PC settings, and find Devices option, then remove all printers in Devices.
Following this, please try printing through PDF Reader.
Hope this helps!

How to show two or more PDF in one PDF-Reader / Concatenate PDF-Files

Hi,
I want to show two or more PDF files in one PDF reader window or to concatenate two or mor PDF files to one file.
We use WD4A and ADS.
Have someone an idea to solve this without an external program?
Thx in advance
Jürgen

We have done this successfully a few times using WDA - it wasn't easy - it took us 2 full weeks to figure it out, so i need to get full points for this one!
It's going to much easier to do this if you start a brand new WDA. If not, you'll have to re-do all your Context Node navigations within your methods.
The first thing you need to do is to define your Context properly:
You need a top level Node defined as 1:1 cardinality (as with all PDF development)
Next, you need another Container Node 1:n cardinality (this holds the collection of content nodes)
Finally, you have your PDF Content Node 1:n cardinality - This holds each instance of your PDF form
In our scenario, we are passed in a list of Project Numbers. We need to generate a PDF sheet for each project in the same PDF session.
pseudo code - i'm leaving out some of the unnessary details
Loop through the project number table.
ADD 1 TO v_cnt.
* navigate from <TOP> to <PDF_CONTAINER> via lead selection
    lo_nd_pdf_container = lo_nd_top->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_pdf_container ).
* This is the Important Part - we check to see if there is an element where index = v_cnt
* If not, we create one where we can store the new set of data
* get element via lead selection
    lo_el_pdf_container = lo_nd_pdf_container->get_element( index = v_cnt ).
    IF lo_el_pdf_container IS INITIAL.
      lo_el_pdf_container = lo_nd_pdf_container->create_element( ).
      lo_nd_pdf_container->bind_element( new_item = lo_el_pdf_container
                                           set_initial_elements = ' '   ).
    ENDIF.
    lo_nd_ideasheet_data = lo_el_pdf_container->get_child_node( 'IDEASHEET_DATA' ).
    lo_el_ideasheet_data = lo_nd_ideasheet_data->get_element( index = 1 ).
* fill all the data then bind the structure
Select * from XXX into lt_XXX
where project_number = lt_project-project_number.
* Move Data to appropriate fields/tables
* Bind the info back to the element
    lo_el_ideasheet_data->set_static_attributes( static_attributes =
                                              ls_ideasheet_data ).
Endloop.

How do I move a document into a folder in PDF reader on an iPad

How do I move a document into a file in PDF reader on my iPad

When you're looking at the list of documents, touch the Edit button at the upper-right. Then select the file you want to move by touching the check box to its left, and click the Move File icon, it's the third one from the left at the top of the screen. You'll be prompted to "Move selected document" after which the "Choose a location" dialog will appear to allow you to select a destination folder.

Remove Adobe plug ins if any.

HT204365 I have many PDFs in my iBooks , but I cannot transfer them out or email them? I'm trying to view them in a PDF reader but its as if these docs are permanently stuck in there even though everything is stored in iCloud. I can't figure this out.

My PDFs stored in iBooks cannot be transferred out reviewed by other apps this is very frustrating because I have many manuals documents and check list all in iBooks but it seems that once you choose to "open in iBooks" this document is now stuck trapped inside here and I am unable to view any of these PDFs with a more dance PDFReader.
Yes I'm enabled iCloud on both my PDFReader's and in my iPad for my documents. I can't even select one of my PDFs to transfer into my dropbox or another cloud storage device so again these documents which I've collected over the last few months or now trapped in this horrible PDF reading program.

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Problem with PDF Reader and Create PDF plugins

Hello,
I use Internet Explorer Nine. The Adobe PDF Reader plugin disappeared from my browser. When I look at the listing of my add-ons, Adobe PDF reader appears in the list of all add-ons but not in the list of currently loaded add-ons. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Reader X and adding the FileOpen.api file to the plug-ins subfolder of the reader folder of the Reader 10.0 program files folder to no avail. How did the plugin disappear from by browser? How can I reinstall the plugin? Would reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Standard XI help?
I was once able, on every website, to turn in a portion of the text and/or pictures on the website into a PDF file by right-clicking and clicking on "Convert to Adobe PDF." Now, I can perform this action only on certain websites. When I cannot perform the action correctly, the entire webpage is converted into a PDF file. What could be causing the malfunction? How can I fix it?
Thank your for your help. Have an excellent day.

I&m not quite sure I understand your problem. You have Adobe PDF Reader under All Add-ons; is it enabled?
Can you view any PDFs in Internet Explorer?
