Possibility to give a pdf a variable when opening?

Is it possible to give a PDF a variable. The problem is:
I want to call a pdf with a url from webbrowser. When it opens it should import a xfdf or xml-file. I'm searching for a way to tell the pdf which file to import. I thought about a param in the url but I think it's not possible. Is it possible to put a javascript in an pdf which can read a cookie in which the path to the xml-file is? Is there another way to tell a pdf file in the moment when it is opend which xml file it should import??

Try the following to capture the URL and then build your logic based on the value.
var cURL
cURL = this.baseURL
xfa.host.messageBox(cURL)
this is a JavaScript function may used in form:ready event. If you get the value displayed you can save it and use. I have no similar environment to test this myself. Please let me know how that works.
Good Luck,

Swf saved as pdf not displaying when opened

Hi All,
I am in the process of creating a media kit for my company. The plan is to be able to send out a link to the pdf file saved in our site files so that potential clients can click and view or download the pdf. I have saved the pdf in my site files however; when you go to the link (http://www.hobnobtv.com/pdf/hobnobtv-media-kit.pdf) it only opens a white blank pdf file.
Here are the steps i've taken to create the file:
I have created the 10page booklet using InDesign CS4 and added the page turn page transition on all the pages.
I exported the file as swf and then opened the swf in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
When opening the swf in Acrobat the activation setting I choose are:
Enable when: The page containing the content is opened
Disable when: The page containing the content is closed
Save the pdf file
Uploaded to the site
What could be causing the pdf to appear white and blank? Is there a better way to accomplish the goal?
I look forward to hearing others thoughts!
Rebecca

Thank you for the response!
Actually, I finally realized (and i'm a little embarassed to admit) that when I click on the link for the pdf, my default program to open the file was set to Preview rather than adobe acrobat or reader. So now that I have it set to Acrobat I see it ok.
I have tested the swf file by itself and it does work. The file uses the Page Turn transition affect, so the user needs to click the bottom right corner of each page to turn (or they can click and drag the page open). I did notice when the pdf was opend the little note I included in the bottom right of the first page does not show (it reads "click here to turn page"- as a prompt for the user). I may have to move that up a little bit so it shows. Also, if you hover over the bottom right corner of the right page, you should start to see the page corner curl, this is hard to see at this point (you can see it great if you click the zoom in option once) Maybe i'll have to reduce the size of the swf when making it a pdf to see if that works so the user doesn't have to adjust the page to see the affect.
I'll see how that works.

Received .PDF files which when opened are in "Western European Windows" and are just gibberish. I have adobe 10.0.01 installed now. Can you help please in how to correct this Thanks

I received three files in Microsoft Outlook in a PDF format. When I clicked on open I got a window showing "Opening Mail Attchment" and only open from "trusted" sources. After opening it displayed a window for File conversion with Windows as the default with Western European( Windows) as I assume the font. The file was shown but had essentially meaningless characters and numbers with maybe the occasional meaningful word. There seems no way to understand why this happened or to correct it. Can you help please

PDF image changes when opening in photoshop

sometimes when we open PDF files in photoshop the image changes. sometimes text disappears and other times fading occurs. Here is how it can be duplicated:
1. First try downloading the file here http://www.m3printing.com/files/wierd.pdf
2. open the file with acrobat. take note of the red NYN in the upper left
3. open the file with photoshop. you will notice the YN becomes faded
any clues as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated
ps. we use photoshop CS2

This doc is unnecessarily complex in its color structure.
It uses CMYK and seven spot colors. CMYK is DeviceCMYK,
which means, the space is not defined in the doc by an ICC
profile.
A part of the red text vanishes if the doc is opened in Photo-
shop in CMYK mode. I don't know why. Perhaps a trans-
parency flattening problem.
Analyzed by Acrobat > Tools > Print Production > Preflight.
My suggestion: convert each page into a well specified CMYK
space as recommended by the printer.
The fastest solution:
Open in PhS in Lab mode with reasonably high resolution,
for instance 288ppi, convert into a specified CMYK space
and save as TIFF.
The correct solution:
Go back to the source program (InDesign) and replace all
Spots by process colors. Flatten and save by new name.
Export as PDF.
Flattening in advance to Export guarantees the appearance.
Export with layers contains the risk that flattening at the
receiver turns out to be wrong.

Pdf files blank when opened in browser on linux

I am running Ubuntu linux 8.04 and 10.04. When I open a PDF file in the browser, I get a blank screen. I am able to open the document in its own window. I am not getting any error message.
I first had the problem on Ubuntu 8.04 using FF 3.6.15. I also have the problem on Ubuntu 10.04 using FF 3.6.15. I have installed FF 4.0b13pre on Ubuntu 10.04 and I still have the same problem.

Yes, that's a plausible explanation.
Never having locked a Numbers document, I don't have first hand experience.
I put my sensitive documents in an encoded disk image file. Less bother. But then, I'm not e-mailing sensitive documents or otherwise exposing them.

PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

Hi-
Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds. Afterwards, it's fine.
Any suggestions?
Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

Any chance you are also using Quickbooks? I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between Quickbooks and Acrobat 9. My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit. According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8. So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8. The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully. Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
The problem is not in opening Acrobat. It opens just fine. It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

Missing PDF plug in when opening a page in Safari

Hello. I am trying to open a webpage in Safari that contains an embedded PDF. I do get a message saying "missing PDF plug-in", but I already have Adobe Acrobat X (Upgraded Version) on the MBP.
I have already set the PDF's to open with Acrobat X. Any ideas?

Use Preview instead

My macbook pro gives the extra notice (2) when opening

After I head to shut off my macbook pro without being able to close the programmes, my account-page tells me this is the "Macbook pro van Piet" with the extra notification (2). Can somebody tells me what ths means.
Thank you, Piet

Thank you, Niel,
I was able to solve this little problem with your answer. At first I was afraid it was related to a virus, because I had to turn of the computer because an add blocked the closure of Safari.
Greetings, Piet (from the Netherlands)

HT2506 Is there a way for the table of contents to display automatically when opening a PDF in Preview?

Acrobat 9.3.4 freezing when opening specific PDF

I have a specific PDF file that when opened from the local computer causes Acrobat to freeze (adobe launches, but then hour glass with blank screen). Other PDFs open just fine. I have tried multiple computers, and every computer with Acrobat version 9.2.0 and above freezes. I am however, able to open this file using Acrobat version 9.0.0 and 8.
I tried to mirror settings from Edit > Preferences from a 9.1.0 install to a 9.3.4 install with no luck. Repairing the installation didn't help either. Uninstalling and reinstalling works, but that's only because it puts it back to version 9.0.0 and as soon as it gets patched to 9.2.0, I get the freeze again.
I'm out of ideas at this point. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Phil

Mine is doing the same. Ever since the 9.3.4 update my Mac Adobe Acrobat Pro will crash (beachball) whenever editing, such as adding bookmarks, or scrolling down the pages of file. Have tried multiple times to contact Adobe, but with no luck, and no call back or response. Considering moving to a different PDF platform if I cannot obtain technical help through Adobe.

FM GUI_UPLOAD gives PC036 "Error when opening the download file".

Dear all
I'm having a problem with a particular PC.
A program which calls FM GUI_UPLOAD gives the error PC036 "Error when opening the download file".
The file we are trying to upload is a text file, with tab delimiter.
If the same user executes the same program from another PCs, it works fine.
If another user executes the program in the "problematic" PC, it gives the error.
So, the problem is PC-related.
I checked SAP GUI Codepage, and was the same as other PCs.
I cheched regional configuration, and was also the same as other PCs.
The operating system is Windows XP, and the SAP GUI version is 7.10, File version 7100.2.7.3077, Build 967944 , Patch level 7.
SAP version is ECC6.
I searched across forums, SAP note, and the web, but I couldn't find anything.
I would be grateful if someone could give me ideas.
Thanks in advance
Jordi

Hello. The user accounts are have same privilegies (like both are "Power users")? Also the file system are the same in both PC NTFS or FAT32 (today i'm find FAT32 in enterprise ) If NTFS may be some Domain politics are not allow to save file correctly, or space are not enough....Try check this first...Regards.

PNG files are grainy when opened in Illustrator.

Files that I create in Photoshop and save as PNG files are grainy and colored incorrectly when opened in Illustrator. The files are fine when opened in other programs. Please see the pictures below to illustrate my point. These are the same file, however, the first is the PNG file that I've saved in Photoshop and the second is how Illustrator renders the file.
Original - Saved from Photoshop
Rendered in Illustrator. Exported as PNG.

It is PNG 24. It's super bizarre. I originally thought it was because the file began as a RAW file, but any file I export as a PNG gives me the same issue when opened in illustrator.

Just select Print in Safari and then, in the bottom left-hand corner, select PDF and you can save it to whichever flavor pdf file you like.
