Question about legibility of PDF in Acrobat reader

the resolution is fuzzy in Acrobat and very clear in Nitro Reader, why is free Nitro Reader clearer than my paid-for Acrobat Reader?

Adobe Reader is free too.

FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

Yes, I mean the eternal application.
Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.
Thanks

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?
Thanks !!

pierreswaggy,
If you have a PDF document opened in some other app on your iPad/iPhone, you can use the "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 or 8 version)
If you have PDF documents on your Mac or Windows desktop/notebook computer, you can use Acrobat.com (cloud storage) to share them with your computer(s) and mobile device(s).
On your Mac/Windows computer
Open a web browser.
Go to Acrobat.com (https://cloud.acrobat.com).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Upload your files to Acrobat.com.
You can also use the desktop version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open a PDF document from Acrobat.com or save to Acrobat.com. Please check the File menu or the toolbar for the options.
On your iPad/iPhone
Launch Adobe Reader for iOS.
Go to the Reader home screen.
Tap My Account (in the lower left corner).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Tap Acrobat.com in the left pane to see the files on Acrobat.com in Reader.
If you have a lot of large PDF documents on your computer, it would be easier and faster to transfer them to your iPad/iPhone at once (instead of one document at a time) using iTunes.
See How to transfer PDF documents from your computer to your iPad/iPhone.
The documents transferred to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes will appear in the Documents section. Because they are stored locally on your iPad/iPhone. Please note that any locally stored documents will be erased by iOS, if you uninstall (instead of update) the Reader app.
Please let us know if you have additional questions or any problems.

Limiting shown buttons when opening 3D PDF in acrobat reader

Hi guys.
I want to create a 3D PDF to be viewed on the web. I don't think that all buttons(rotate, spin, pan, zoom, etc.) in the 3D toolbar are necessary so I would like to choose which buttons will be shown when the user click where it says
"Click to Activate 3D"
Is there a way t do this? If so, is there a way to lock those so the user cannot activate them?
Thank you.

Hello,
There is an option to manage display of the 3D toolbar whichi only available at the creation of the 3D PDF file (within Acrobat Pro Extended only..):
Go to Edit/Preferences
Select a 3D format then press Edit Settings
Under 3D Panel there is a check box called "Show 3D toolbar by Default" Unselect this option then press OK.
Convert a 3d file to PDFthen save the file
Open the PDF within Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro Extended, the 3D toolbar will not be displayed after activating the 3D content..
Hope this can be helpful
Best Regards

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

Questions about using a PDF form online

I have a client who wants to create an online version of a PDF form that they are currently using. I am currently trying to explain to them that this would be best done as an HTML web form, but I may not win this argument. I have only used PDFs for printed forms (either hand-written or using form fields) so I am not familiar with any problems that converting the form for use online would entail.
When the 'Submit' button is pressed on the form, is there a way to redirect to another web page after the data is submitted? (i.e. does the PDF have access to it's outer 'environment'?)
Are there any security issues submitting data using the PDF form as opposed to using a standard web form? (There may be sensitive data being submitted)
I'm not sure how they plan to handle the data that is submitted, but there are several options in the submitForm parameters - I am assuming that using the HTML option would submit the data in the same format as a web form would. Am I correct here?
Can the PDF be prevented from being downloaded or printed? This form should only be used to submit data to their server, not as a printed form.
Are there any other 'gotchas' that I need to look out for? Does anyone have a recommendation for a site which contains any tutorials or guidelines for using PDF forms online?

Thanks for the information.
Yes, I agree that there is less reason for it to be a PDF form (Actually, no real reason other than the original form already exists in PDF), but I am unfortunately in the position that my input in this project is not necessarily being considered (my company is following direct -and inconsistent- directions from the client, and I have no contact with the client to ask questions about what their actual needs are). I have been told to give the client the 'Tomato' that they are asking for, even though they are describing an 'Apple'.
The reason this form is not meant to be printed is that we have replaced the 'Signature' fields from the original form with checkboxes that the user must check to confirm they have 'signed' the document. If they are to print/fax/whatever the document, they should use the original form, not this one. And I am still trying to explain to them that this would be better served with an HTML web form, but I fear I am losing that battle.
I have brought up the fact that it is not 100% guaranteed that Acrobat will be available in the browser, although I can only guess that it is less than likely that anyone will not have some sort of PDF viewer available to their browser.
I will also mention that issues may arise if the file is not submitted from within the browser.

How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

Error with pdf, adobe acrobat reader 8 and Mozilla Firefox 2

Hello.
I create view PDF file with following code
String filename = "er.pdf"
File file = new File("C:/" + filename);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
int length = (int)file.length();
httpServletResponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
httpServletResponse.setContentLength(length);
ServletOutputStream fos = httpServletResponse.getOutputStream();
byte buffer[] = new byte[4096];
int count = fis.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
while (count > 0) {
fos.write(buffer,0,count);
count = fis.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
} // end while
// Cleanup
fis.close();
// session.removeAttribute(key);
// file.delete(); // If temporary file
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("error");
This call Error when I used browser Mozilla 2 and plugin adobe acrobat reader 8, but all work good, when I used adobe acrobat reader 7 and Mozilla 2.
I need help.
Have someone this problem?

Hi,
did you search the Mozilla forum for this issue? I don't think that the JDeveloper 11 forum is the right place to post this problem if it is an Adobe/Mozilla issue

Enviar por e-mail un formulario PDF desde Acrobat Reader.

Hola:
Ante todo perdon por mi ignorancia, pero tengo un formulario PDF creado con Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 y la intencion es que despues de ser rellenado pueda ser enviado por e-mail, por tal motivo ¿Es ello posible? Si es asi ¿Como tendria que hacerlo?
Gracias por su tiempo.
Saludos
Alejandro Castan

Hola Alejandro:
Muy buena pregunta. No se me había ocurrido indagar si el Adobe Reader gratuito (que por cierto ya no se llama «Acrobat Reader» sino Adobe Reader a secas), tiene tal opción automática. El Acrobat Standard y el Acrobat Profesional sí la tienen.
Acabo de abrir el Adobe Reader 7.0.3 en mi Macintosh y veo que la versión gratuita también tiene esa opción «email», en el menú de «File» (porque uso la versión en inglés) que en castellano equivale a «Archivo» y «Fichero», según el país de localización de la traducción del programa.
Sería cuestión de ponerle una breve instrucción al respecto a tu documento para que el usuario vaya a ese menú.

Embedding or replacing XMP values in PDF via Acrobat Reader

Hi,
I've been struggling with this.
We're building a form solution via Adobe X Professional
and then reader extending it to be able to submit the form
via Web Services
The specific behaviour being
- XFDF is being used to prepopulate a form
- Based on values in the XFDF - we're creating XMP metadata
and then trying to update the XMP metadata within the PDF
This works in Acrobat Professional, but is not working at all
in Acrobat Reader (even after Reader extending)
Looking through the Javascript guide, it appears the 'metadata' properly
has restrictions placed on it when it is being used in Reader
Are there any other options to do this within Reader only ?
- Some other API call ?
- Can somehow XFDF data pre-populated be used to drive population of the XMP metadata
Would appreciate any advise around this. I've posted a sample below to demonstrate the sort of thing we want to do in Reader
Regards,
Himanshu
------------ Example of what worked in Acrobat Pro, but not in Reader ------
var meta = this.metadata;
var myXMPData = new XML(meta);
myrdf = new Namespace("http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#");
myData = new Namespace("http://ns.abc/xyz/1.0/");
var p = myXMPData.myrdf::RDF.myrdf::Description;
p.@myData::Phone = "38922221";
myNewXMPStr=myXMPData.toXMLString();
this.metadata = myNewXMPStr;
My Product Information:
Reader 8.2.6, Windows

Read the documentation:
The property metadata is not allowed in Adobe Reader but is available in Acrobat Professional and Acrobat Standard.

IE8 tries to open PDF in Acrobat Reader instead of Acrobat Pro

I installed Acrobat Pro and uninstalled Acrobat Reader (in XP). Unfortunately IE8 continues to try to open web links to pdf files using Acrobat Reader, even though Reader has been uninstalled. XP correctly associates pdf files on my computer with Acrobat Pro. I've tried repairing my Acrobat Pro installation, but the behavior remains. Anyone know how I can get IE8 to use Acrobat Pro for pdfs?

You could check the registry key mentioned in my last posting in this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2726399#2726399
If the Reader executable is missing, You can manually change to "C:\Programs\Adobe\Acrobat #.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" or what is the correct path on Your pc.

Enabling Comments for PDF and Acrobat Reader

Hello,
We work with remote reviewers and oftentimes we have to enable our PDFs for commenting, since they only have Acrobat Reader. We then get the files back from our remote reviewers, review their suggestions, and then send them the PDFs back. The only main issue is that we HAVE to enable the PDFs for commenting EVERY time. Is there a better way?
Thanks,
