SDK to allow Searching of documents in Adobe Reader

Is there an SDK available that will allow for searching a document in  Adobe Reader?  I'd prefer something that can be used in c# or c++.  I  know the DDE and IAC SDKs are available for Adobe Acrobat, but they are  not functional with Adobe Reader.

I'll specify a bit further. This will need to be an external c#/C++ application, not a plugin.
lrosenth, I noticed you had mentioned in this post that Reader supports DDE.  In the SDK, there is a sample in VB that uses DDE to perform a query on a document.  I have been unsuccessful in getting this sample to work.  Is there any documentation on using DDE with C++ or C# to interact with Reader?  Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.

    How do I search scanned documents that Adobe Reader reads but shows 0 results from the search?

    If the scanned document was not processed for OCR, then it is just an image and cannot be searched for text.

  • Why is Preview unable to search some pdfs that Adobe Reader has no problem searching?

    In the last couple months, I've noticed that Preview is unable to search some (but not all) pdfs. These are clearly digitized journal articles, recently published. Since this didn't make sense to me, I opened the documents with Adobe Reader and found they were searchable using Adobe.
    What is going on? I'd prefer to use Preview, since I'd always preferred its search function and like its annotation tools (specifically, the box outline tool I use to identify chunks of text). Should I just give up on Preview and switch to Adobe?

    I can search that document in both Safari and Preview.
    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • How do I open a secure document in Adobe reader using my iPhone 5

    I Am trying to pay a bill using adobe reader. I understand how to open a document from my emails with the app, but once I open the document in Adobe reader it is still secured and will not let me enter in my account  info to pay the bill. How can this be fix?

    Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, etc.) do not support commenting or form filling with secured (hence, encrypted) PDF documents.
    Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer to fill in the secured PDF form.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

    I downloaded Adobe Reader to my Iphone. When i tapped on a Adove file i got on my email(on my iphone) it said "saving to disk", wich disk is it talking about? And how can i reach it from my Adobe Reader app?

    MargretheS,
    What is the mail app that you use on your iPhone.  Apple Mail (the default iOS mail app) does not show the message like "save to disk".
    Did you find the answer to your question in How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)?

Went through this 3 times and got through to "Finish", closed browser and then retried. No luck. What's going on?? Have no problem with same documents on iPhone and iPad

    After you finished installing did you launch Adobe Reader from your /Applications folder and accept EULA(End User License Agreement)?
    What is your Adobe Reader version?
    What browser are you using and browser version?
    Thank You.

  • Unable to view documents through Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    The following are the softwares which we have installed.
    1. Adobe Reader - 7.07
    2. Adobe Acrobat Professional - 7.0
    3. Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1
    4. Adobe LiveCycle Forms 7.2.2
    5. Adobe LiveCycle Form Manager 7.2.2
    6. Adobe LiveCycle Workflow - 7.2.2
    7. Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions 7.2.2
    8. Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server 7.2
    We have performed Turnkey installation on all the above mentioned softwares.
    We are facing some issues in viewing the policy documents through Adobe Reader.
    We have created a Policy through the Policy Server. Then using Adobe Acrobat Professional we added this policy to a document.
    But when we try to view the policy added document through Adobe Reader, it is throwing the following error.
    "You are attempting to connect to a policy server using an insecure protocol. The connection attempt has been cancelled. Please contact an administrator for assistance".
    In one of the installation documents of LiveCycle products, it is given that we need to enable the SSL while running the Configuration Manager. But since we have done Turnkey installation the SSL enabling option did not appear in the installation wizard.
    Can someone please let me know how to enable the SSL using Turnkey installation.
    Regards,
    Suraj

    The guide Chris mentioned talks about setting up SSL, but you need to import the certificate into the "trusted root CA" store in Internet Options on every machine which will open the document.<br /><br />You probably have got the SSL set up correctly, but just to emphasise there should be absolutely no warnings what-so-ever in IE when you hit the https://hostname:8443 address -after- closing and reopening the browser, and it should show the Padlock symbol to indicate the SSL is on.  In my experience this means that the first part of the CN must be the exact hostname which you will access the server to avoid the "cert doesn't belong to this host" error which will appear in addition to the "untrusted CA" error.<br /><br />And if you are using the server in production where clients may not have permission to add trusted root CA's then you will need to use a proper SSL certificate.  This guide worked for me:<br /><br />http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2006/10/configuring_jboss_325_with_a_r.html<br /><br />(p.s. I'd recommend NOT using any symbols in the keystore password, or you may have to change it to get it running with JBoss)<br /><br />______________________<br /><br />Once you are absolutely sure the SSL is spot on, this is the step which you may have missed:<br /><br />On the Policy Server administration panel, go to "Configuration" -> "Server Configuration", then update the base url.  It should look like:<br /><br />https://<cn_on_ssl_cert>:8443<br /><br />Once you've updated that address, you will need to reapply any policies, since the server address is stored in the PDF document itself.  Don't forget to update the policy server address in Acrobat too.<br /><br />Hope that helps,<br /><br />Robert

  • Centering documents in Adobe Reader 8

    I've scanned some odd size letters into Adobe Reader 8, and have been unable to find a way to make Adobe center the scanned pages onto an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. It always goes to the upper lefthand corner. This way I can't punch them to place in 3-ring binder. What to do???

    Hi Mike,
    I was just reading your note from the blog titled "Centering documents in Adobe Reader 8, because I am having the same problem in Reader 9.  I just recently downloaded a new update from Adobe, and now I can't seem to get my pdf document to center.
    I am using Nuance's PDF converter (Scansoft), and when I save my Word file as a pdf, even though the Word file is centered properly, the end result of the pdf conversion shows the pdf file aligned to the top right corner.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanking you ahead of time . . .

  • When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

  • Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader.

    Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader. Do I have to pay for it or just sign up? Thank you in advance.

    "...the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader." 
    Not possible.
    No version of Adobe Reader can:
    --| create PDF 
    --| manipulate PDF page content  
    --| export PDF page content
    Adobe Reader XI does provide a "connection" to various Adobe hosted online subscription services (that are under "acrobat.com").
    There is a subscription services can create PDF from supported file formats that are uploaded to the service.
    This subscription service is "PDF Pack".
    With an active (paid up) subscription to a service one can make use of the service.

  • Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?

    Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?
    If not is there a way to combine lets say 100 documents into another PDF file at once (Batch export) in PDF Pack software or do I have to add each document one by one drop and drag style?
    Thanks

    What has this got to do with Photoshop?
    In Acrobat Pro one can combine pdfs (Combine Files into PDF) and Photoshop (not in CS5, but again in CS6) offers File > Auromate > PDF Presentation to combine Photoshop files in one pdf.

  • New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

    Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete. 
    According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
    Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
    Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,
    Cam
