Question about PDFs in browser

Hi, for my organization, we want to force users to open PDFs in Adobe Reader and not open them in the browser window which we've set up using the configuration wizard and that's not a problem.
My problem is that we have one particular site that won't allow us to view the PDF on it if the view in browser functionality is disabled. I tried turning on the option in the wizard to give the Open/Save dialog when PDFs are opened in the browser, but I don't ever get a prompt for this document when it's enabled.
I wanted to see if there is any way to specify individual web sites as being able to view PDFs in the browser, but generally leave that functionality disabled.
Thanks for any help,
Jared

If you turn off javascript or java for the website you can probably download the pdf with no issue. I know of no way to set the behavior since it is a browser issue not an Acrobat or Reader issue.

Questions about PDF exporting with InDe CS5.5

Hey all,
A couple questions about exporting to PDF from the latest version of InDe.
First, I have noticed that it seems to take a lot longer to get to a PDF. Any suggestions for how to speed up the process? It took 8 minutes or so to generate a low-res PDF (for print) of a 24pp document with a few placed images and vector graphics. Wow, that's a long time to wait, especially for a proof.
Second, the background task... if I get it going on making that 8-minute PDF and then work some more on the document, what exactly is in the PDF? Usually I save before making a PDF or printing. So, is the last version saved what will be in the PDF?
(As an aside, this ability to work on the doc while generating a PDF seems kind of weird. Generally one makes a PDF for proofing, or even for printing, when all the changes have been made and everything is "final". So, I see no benefit to being able to work on my document while it's making a PDF, as I'm probably finished making revisions for the time being. I have to say that I kind of like the progress bar you get when you make an interactive PDF, as you know you can't work on the document when that's on the screen... )
Thanks as always.

Yes, this is abnormally long (and too long), something is wrong. What's the full version of InDesign you are running, as reported by holding down Cmd or Control and selecting About InDesign?

Saving is not related. InDesign makes a database snapshot of your document the moment you begin the PDF export, and makes the export relative to that snapshot, regardless of edits you continue to make during the export process, and regardless of saving. Of course saving first is a good idea, for several reasons, not the least of which it sounds like something's fairly seriously wrong with your document or your InDesign installation.
We recommend you trash your preferences and export your document to IDML and see if either of those things changes this 8-minute behavior...err, assuming you're running 7.5.2.318.

Yeah, I think the primary benefit is if you are likely to work on 2 or more files in parallel, so you can finish A and export A and then switch to B. If you'd like a dialog box to pop up when export is done, check out my exportPop script from this post: ANN: automatic dialog after background export (exportPop.jsx.

2 part question about PDF output in RoboHelp 8

I've been able to generate fairly clean-looking PDFs in RoboHelp with the entire Help contents.
My 2 questions are:
1) Is there a way to generate a Word document from the Help contents? I notice that when I choose "batch generate" it appears to generate
a Word doc that behaves as a distiller file and then creates a PDF. Is there a way to generate just a Word document?
2) If not, is there a way to set the settings within RoboHelp to allow you to edit the text in the generated PDF?
I do not have the full version of Acrobat and can't edit text with Adobe Reader.
thanks for any feedback!

A question about pdf form filling?

Hello,
I received a form in PDF format as an attachment in an e-mail reply from a travel company. I have to fill in this form and return it to the sender.
I could print out the PDF form manually fill the required field and either fax to them or scan & send it as an attachment BUT
I would wish to open the document on my Mac Book Air -fill in the requested field by typing in my Mac Book Air and send it back as an attachment.
Is that possible? I could not do this in my Win 7 computer but wondered if my Mac would have tricks up it's sleeve to accomplish this task?
Thank you for your time to answer my question.
Regards

Thank you for your time and an answer.
I do have Microsoft Word.
I do not know how to insert the PDF as watermark. Where do you find the picture radio button?
Would you mind telling the step involved in getting my pdf file opened in the Microsoft Word?
Regards

Question about PDFs

I'm sending letters to publishers who request PDFs.
Using pages, I can choose the print option and make a PDF using Preview.
But I'm sure many of these publishers use Windoze. Can I still send it via Preview (Windows Friendly Attachments) or should I download Adobe Reader and save them in that format?
One other question. This is a ONE PAGE PDF -- but it keeps showing up as a two page PDF-- with the second page blank. How do I make it just show up as ONE PAGE?
Thanks, Dan

Adobe Reader won't generate PDFs. And I'd avoid it like the plague... it will hijack Safari's PDF viewing... really it's a piece of crap.
Generate a PDF via "print" as you've done and you can just email it. It will come across fine to Windows users, and there's no need to send Windows-friendly attachments.
If you want to chop off the second page, when you print, just select "print pages 1... to 1." before clicking the button to save as PDF. That will work fine... I do it all the time.

Question about private web browsing and Spotlight

I was browsing personal webpages on a work computer using Safari's 'Private Web Browsing', but although Safari doesn't remember the pages, Spotlight does which is a little concerning!
I have excluded webpages from Spotlight searches but that doesn't mean the pages have gone. I have tried clearing my history in Safari and Resetting it, to no avail. Can someone tell me how to delete the webpages from Spotlight?
Thanks and regards

Hi Rapidness,
I checked on my computer and do not have this issue. And I have no website located somewhere on my machine, after cleaning / or resetting the browser.
In the "Safari" - Menu > below the "Private Surfing" > is "Safari Reset"
Maybe you should try this...
You can also use "Onyx" to reset the browser. See the link below:

Question about motorola xoom browser

Hello, i just bought a xoom so im new to this. Every time i try to load a web page that has a lot of content it stops working, so i exit out the of the tab then click on the browser again and there are lines going across the screen where the web page is supposed to be. i type in google and nothing happens so i exit the browser and after doing this several times the web browser finally starts working again. has anyone else had this problem? also while typing this its very laggy, is that normal? im running 3.2 and this is the only tab i have up. Thanks in advance!

This sounds very strange. Have you had any other issues with the Xoom? When you bought the device did you do a master reset on it to bring it to its original state? The reason why ask is because when people buy used devices sometimes they are not in the default state and problems like these arise. I would follow these steps and reset the device, if after you reset the device and it still is having browser issues I would return it to the seller.
Master Reset
From the home screen tap Apps
Tap Settings
Tap Privacy
Tap Factory Data Reset
Displays shows: This will erase all data from your tablets internal storage including; Google account, application data, downloaded applications, Music, photos, other user data
Tap Reset Tablet to confirm and proceed.

Question about configuring Computer Browser service

On network computers after the net view command displayed different lists of computers.
All computers are in the same domain. OS: Windows Server 2012, 2012R2, Windows 8, 8.1. On all computers except domain controllers and another server using Group Policy disabled Computer Browser service. I can not understand why the
net view command provides different lists of computers.
I can provide more detailed information.

Hi,
The NetBIOS will be discard in the future it recommend you use DNS name resolution, in your case if the NetBIOS based name resolution is necessary it recommend you create
a WIN server.
In a Windows NT domain structure, the primary domain controller (PDC) is always selected as the domain master browser. Only the PDC can be a domain master browser. If a PDC
is not present, a domain master browser is not available and you are unable to obtain browse lists from workgroups other than the workgroup you are located in.
With the multi subnet you must configure your router to allow the WINS related protocol through the different subnet.

Questions about PDF Printing

Hello!
Is there any way that I can print a single page from a PDF on the back of every other page in that PDF?
Here's the example-
We use a report for certified payroll. The front of each report is different, but the back has all of the legal jargon on it that is required by the government.
Is there a way that I can print the report, and have Acrobat print the same thing on the back of each report without having to add that page everywhere I want it printed?
Thanks!

Not really. What you can do, though, is first print out the backs of all the pages, and then insert those pages (reversed) into your printer and print the actual file.
The only other option of doing it in Acrobat is by using a custom-made script.

A question about the IE management of session id

Hi, guys! I have a question about the IE browser management of session id.
As we know, firefox browser will use cookie to record session id, so if we delete the cookie files then the client can't find target session.
But it's not the same as IE browser.I found I already can find target session after I delete the cookies.
Then I think maybe IE browser use URL rewrite mechanism(GET request) and hidden text mechanism(POST request), but I'm not sure!
Or maybe IE browser use current IE window process's cache to record the session id?
Please help me, thank you very much in advance!
I'm Chinese, my English is so bad, please understand, thanks.

Thank you for your answer, but I still have a question.
Can you tell me how your deleting cookies works? I just use IE browser tools->Internet Options->Delete Cookies to delete my cookie, but the session still can be retrieved! Just like you said, the session id is kept in the memory.
But if I use firefox to do the same operations, the session will can't be retrieved.Does that mean firefox not only delete cookies' files but also delete them in the memory.
Can I use IE browser to do the same effect as firefox browser? And how to do? Thank you.

Question about opening pdf in Browser

Hello All.
Being a systemadministrator at a mental healthcare site, we use scanners for digitizing papers and importing this into our EPD.
Digitized papers are in PDF format, but despite the settings in Adobe reader (EDIT - PREFERENCES - INTERNET - Show PDF in Browser) the PDF will always be opened in Adobe reader, making it difficult to save them in EPD.
Is this a bug?
Running Windows 2008 R2 64 Bits (Terminal Server) with IE 8.0.7601.17514 and Adobe Reader 10.1.0
I don't see any Add-on called Adobe Reader in IE, I do see Adobe PDF link helper.
Could the absence of this add-on be the cause of my problem?
Thanks in Advance,
Jack

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.
