Reader API Definition

hi
I have an application for an Adobe Interactive Form which requires that another application (SAP Mobile) initiates a Reader Template pre-populated with some data from the SAP Mobile app.
Assuming Reader exposes an API I'm trying to find some documentation which defines that API to see if this is possible.
Any other advice very welcome!
thanks

I don't know about exactly what capabilities are available in which version of SAP Mobile. But here's a simpler solution for you. Create your data in an XML file that looks something like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.8.8157.0"?> <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"> <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"> <xfa:data> ...your normal form data goes here.. </xfa:data> </xfa:datasets> <pdf href="...URL for PDF..." xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/"/> </xdp:xdp> Now you have a couple of choices. You can call Reader and ask it to open (I forget the command line switch off hand) the XDP file or you can just ask Windows to open the XDP file with it's registered application. Since XDP is associated with Reader, this will work unless of course you also have Adobe Designer loaded on the system. The href should be able to point to a file:// URL or an HTTP(s):// URL. I guess an FTP URL would work as well. When you get a little sample working, this would be a great topic for a posting in the Interactive Forms area on SDN. Les

Microsoft IPv6-Aware Proxy Helper API Definitions supported in Firefox?

Can no longer reach the internet through our proxy server using our global corporate proxy PAC file after updating the PAC file with Microsoft's 'IPv6-Aware Proxy Helper API Definitions' (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg308477(v=vs.85).aspx). MS IE 8 and IE 9 work OK, as does Google Chrome. Firefox (our standard browser on non-Microsoft operating systems) is no longer functional with the new PAC file updates.

In the about:config window, look up "network.dns.disableIPv6". Is that set to true? If so, toggle it to false.

Get file metadata with Reader API

Hi
It is possible to retrieve the metadata of a file with the Reader API? How?
Thanks

My project was generated by the wizard, but when try to use the PDDocGetXAPMetadata function the project does not compile with this error: "'PDDocGetXAPMetadataSELPROTO' : undeclared identifier".
Any ideas?

Adobe Reader API

Regarding Adobe Reader API, I know it's very limited, but all I need to do is open a file and go to a particular page. I've tried:
With AcroPDF1
.LoadFile "C:\test.pdf"
.setCurrentPage 3
End With
which gives me "Runtime Error 424, Object Required," and I've tried:
Dim AcroPDDoc As Object
Set AcroPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
which gives me "Runtime error 429, Activex component can't create object."
I've made sure all References to anything Adobe or Acrobat are checked off (I'm programming in MS Access using VB).
What am I missing?
Thanks.
(PS I do own Acrobat Standard that I use on my office machine and I can't get the code to work there either. But I need to be able to use Reader for the project I'm working on.)

Now this was an interesting thread...
I have a similar problem, but I am not so familiar with VB or javascript or the Windows API, so I would appreciate explicit examples.
I would like to make a .bat script (yes, DOS, under Win XP) to open a .pdf document using Acrobat Reader (v. 8.1.0 in my case). If the document is already open, I would like to close it and reopen it.
Today, I do this with
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.1\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" test.pdf
which works. However, it also locks the file for editing. I therefore need a way (from the command line) to either close test.pdf or open it read-only.
I realize that this (at least closing the document) should be accessible via Adobe Reader API or Acrobat IAC, possibly through the javascript command app.openDoc() (I have looked into the documents mentioned above), but I have no clue about how to do this from the command line. Anyone care to help me out with an example?

Reader API

Has anyone had any luck pulling in article metadata with the reader API?
I have an HTML overlay where I want to reference the Title, author, kicker and description of the page. I tried us to the sample information screen code from New APIs and features in r30, including folio navigation, article metadata and calendar events | Adobe Developer Connect… with no luck. Using the sample page I can get data from the folioDataService but all blanks for articlemetadata.
Is the problem that I am using the content viewer on iOS to test the folio and overlays?
I would love to see a working example of this.
Thanks

Reader API for Android

Does Reader API (http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ReadingSDK-2.27/docs/index.html) work in Android? If yes, since which version.
Does it work in R25 already?
Especially we wanted to use the feature to access the entitlement status within a web view.
Thank you,
Richard

The Reading API is iOS only at this stage.

Some help please in understanding JavaFX 2.0 Generics API definition

In the Javadocs for JavaFX there is a set of helper/builder classes - for example
Class LineChartBuilder<X,Y,B extends LineChartBuilder<X,Y,B>>
which has method definitions (+ others)
public LineChart<X,Y> build()
public static <X,Y> LineChartBuilder<X,Y,?> create()
code snippet
 // x-Axis marks
xAxisList = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
 xAxisList.add("One");
 xAxisList.add("Two");
 xAxisList.add("Three");
 xAxisList.add("Four");
 xAxisList.add("Five");
 CategoryAxis catXAxis = new CategoryAxis(xAxisList);
 // y-Axis
 NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis("Price", 0, 100, 10);
LineChartBuilder<CategoryAxis, NumberAxis, ?> builder;
???? What does the create() invocation look like ??????
 LineChart<X, y> chart = builder.build();
code snippet
any help would be greatly appreciated -
am still trying to get my mind around how to read these Generics signatures

LineChartBuilder<A,B,C> builder = LineChartBuilder.create();where A, B, C are whatever you need them to be.
LineChartBuilder<A,B,C> builder = LineChartBuilder.create();where A, B, C are whatever you need them to be.I get the Type idea
But C needs to be of Type LineChartBuilder<X,Y,B> according to the Class definition
public class LineChartBuilder<X,Y,B extends LineChartBuilder<X,Y,B>> extends XYChartBuilder<X,Y,B>and this is where I'm struggling - how do I break out of the B extends part of the definition -- for the following
LineChartBuilder<CategoryAxis, NumberAxis, B> builder = LineChartBuilder.create();The above does not compile -
B cannot be resolved to a type
The method create() is ambiguous for the type LineChartBuilder
Thanks for your help

Credit card reader API

Is there any API available by which i can access a Magnetic Card Reader attached my PC thro USB?
Thanx

talk to the vendor of the mag stripe reader, for a start. additionally, many of them ship with a driver which redirects the mag stripe data to stdin. this will be a native driver, so moving your code from platform to platform will be trickier, but for an app. that's reading credit cards, this isn't often an issue anyway. not many people decide to suddenly port their PoS app to another OS halfway through a project! (but I've seen it done)

PDF reader API for Android

Hi, I'm an Android developer beginner. I need my App to view pdf files without calling an external viewer. I found several pdf vierver source code solutions, but none of them is "Adobe Official". Is there any official Android pdf viewing API? How about iOS? Thanks.

Reader API Help Guide Needed

Hi Im using the free Acrobat reader within my application for viewing PDF files only.
Its the same that gets displayed in a browser and is activated as an activeX control.
It actually runs out of process as AcroRD32.exe
This has an API and quite a bit is intuitive but part of it is not.
Is these a help guide for using this API within your apps or scripts?
I need to try a switch a few things off etc and attempt to scale the view relative to my app.
Thanks.

You can find documentation about the API in the Acrobat SDK.

Using Adobe Reader API

Hi,
I've tried to print PDF-Files in a Third-Party Application using the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Type Library. The following error occurs
"Could not create an instance or the OLE control or Automation Server identified by
GUID= {....
Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0 Type Library.AcroAVDoc.
Check that the OLE-control or Automation server is correctly installed and registered."
So i search the internet and what i find out is, that some other people have the same problem but no solution.
Can anybody help me ????

The Acrobat SDK, by the way, does explain which (very few) API methods
work with the free Reader, but the Acrobat SDK (should not be a big
surprise) mostly needs you to buy Acrobat.

Read DataType Definition in a Java Mapping,

Hi,
Is there a way to load a DataType Definition and parse the fields and attribute of this data type from java code?
I am in a custom Adapter Module (PI 7.1) and need to dynamically load the definition of a DataType to do some FCC.
I would like to do the FCC based on the DataType definition rather then on the Communication Channel's adapter module configuration.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin Lavoie,
I understand, you are getting a flat file and want to convert it into XML or the other way, converting XML to flat file in SAP PI 7.1 using File channel.
First, why you are going for Adapter module? (I think even you don't like it) It is resource intensive to develop, running in production system, maintain. If already there is an adapter module, leave it as it is. Consider using Java mapping over adapter module. Java mapping is relatively less resource intensive to develop, running in production system, maintain. Java mapping can do the payload conversion what you are planning to do in adapter module. If you write adapter module (generic), you have to use it in interfaces (all channels) where you need to transform the payload. If you write java mapping (generic), you can use it in operational mapping in all interfaces where you need payload transformation, along with other graphical mappings.
Second, as of now, there is no way to access Data type XSD (which are declared in ESR) using SAP PI. In PI 7.1 EHp1 payload validation using XSD can be done, by placing XSD file in folder on PI server. From PI 7.3, validation is based on Data type (XSD) defined in ESR. First place, you are interested in payload transformation not payload validation. So there is no way you can access XSD in ESR from Adapter module dynamically. I guess you can upload XSD along with adapter module, but maintenance in not all easy.
Finally, I donu2019t recommend adapter module for you requirement. Try using FCC. You may say whenever there is change in XSD (change in field lengths), you have to change FCC (edit the channel), and I donu2019t see better option than this. If you think FCC will not be sufficient for your requirement, and then go for Java mapping. Writing generic java mapping will be a good challenge. Java mapping should be uploaded with XSD (or parameter file) for every interface and should be edited if there is a change in XSD.

QR/Bar Code Reading API

I was looking to try to create an app that would read a bar code or QR code etc. then use that information to do a database look up. Pretty simple really.
I have been having trouble finding a tutorial about using the camera to read a bar code (or similar technology). I figure that this has to be easy enough to do.

Hi,
Here is a blog post for scanning QR code. See
this for barcode scanning.
