Selected pdf in browser turns blue

We just installed Reader 9 and an issue has been reported when viewing pdfs in a browser window. When you click on a page of the pdf, it turns blue letting you know the focus is on that page. When you click on a different page, that page turns blue and the previous page is again white. Is there a setting somewhere in Reader 9 to either turn off this feature or change the color that the pdf changes to?
We had this issue with Reader 7 and were able to resolve it by going into Edit>Preference>General and uncheck the "Enable text selection for the Hand Tool". This option is no longer there. The person who reported this likes to use the hand tool and would prefer a solution that can be done to change the color or remove it.

That preference is still there.
Preferences>General>Basic Tools>Make hand tool select text and images.
They just changed the verbiage a little to keep us on our toes.

When you select an icon it turns blue

Hi! After I updated my BB software many things changed. The most annoying is that when you select any icon the color arround the square of it is blue, when before the software update it what transparent!
Can I change that?!
Pleeeease somebody help me!
Thank you!!

I believe the color is strictly based on your selected theme.
Try changing your theme and see if that works.

Is there a way to prevent an image from turning blue when selecting it?

I'm exported a pdf from InDesign that will be used as a brochure for one of the exhibitions at our museum. I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent an image from turning blue when a reader clicks on it. Since all of the images are works of art, I'd rather that they not change color when people click on them.
I changed the security settings so the images couldn't be copies, hoping that would prevent the blue square, but it didn't help.
thanks for any suggestions.
Chris

There are several ways to do that and here are but two of them.
1. If you want to make a new image you can right click on the channel, click on Duplicate Channel and under Destination>Document, select New
2. If you want to add a new layer to your document, click on the channel in the channels panel, go to Select>All, then Edit>Copy, click on RGB in the channels panel and then Edit>Paste

When I'm browsing on Safari, it all of a sudden cuts off and the screen turns blue. It turns blue for about 5 seconds and then returns to the desktop screen. Any idea what's going on?

FF 5 no longer opens pdf in browser window & only fix on offer, Dafizilla ViewSourceWith, won't instal and greys out Menu bar.

''locking this thread - discussion is here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/857882''
I thought I had the Foxit Reader Plug-In reinstalled since I installed FF5, but I've reinstalled it again anyway and reset it to open in Firefox under Tools Options. Once I was happy with the latest Foxit Reader I really didn't want to even try the dead-buried-and-decomposed Adobe Acrobat again. I've disabled that now as it wasn't opening pdfs in Firefox either when I had it selected under Tools Options.

These are the steps I performed on my own system many months ago. I could not view PDF files in Firefox with both Adobe Reader and Foxit installed.
#Close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#If you have not already done so, uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.5 using Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click on the item, click Remove. You may need to restart your system.
#Open Foxit in your programs list Windows Start > Programs
#*on the Foxit menu, click Tools > Preferences
#*click File Associations and be sure "Display PDF in browser" is checked then click "Make Default PDF Viewer" then click OK
#*close Foxit Reader (File > Exit)
#Start Firefox
#*Open the Applications panel (Tools > Options > Applications '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Options > Options > Applications)
#*type '''pdf''' in the search box; you should see "Foxit Reader PDF document"
#*in Action column, click the down arrow at the far right end
#*choose "Use Foxit Reader plugin for Mozilla (in Firefox)'
#**if the full name does not display, place the cursor over the item to see the full name in a tooltip box
#Test on a pdf file from the internet
#*If there is no toolbar at the top of the PDF display in the tab (just a blue strip), tap the F8 key to get the Basic toolbar, or right-click the blue strip at the top to display/not display other toolbars by clicking on them (checked=display; un-checked=do not display)

How to allow user to select pdf file on local machine and populate field with file name only

Folks,
I have a project requirement that I am stumped on. I am admittedly a novice, so forgive questions that may seem obvious.
My requirement is a form running on a client system where the user can click a button and select a PDF file name from a PDF on their local machine and then populate a form field with that file path & filename. The file names vary between all machines, so there is no static list. Note that the PDF is not embedded, nothing is executed, I simply need the file name.
There are several of these on a form (20+), so manual name entry is too error prone. I would like to use a 'browse' type dialog, but can not figure out how to implement it.
I've looked at app.browseForFile, but the users can not install a javascript file in their adobe folder or any other files; the functionality has to be integral with the original PDF.
Functionally, this is no different from the image object file browse, except that I need a PDF instead of an image file, so there doesn't seem like there should be a security issue that is any different from those surrounding the image object.
I've been stumped on this for the entire week, and I have a deadline rapidly approaching, so any examples or suggestions (please remember I'm a novice) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Paul - do you have any sample code of how to attach the PDF? Or how the user can select a PDF to open? I might be able to attach it, retrieve the file name, and then un-attach it.
Alternatively, do you know how to retrieve the file name from the imagePath object? It will let you select PDF files, but I can't find info on how to retrieve the file name. It should be the way you would retrieve the file name for an image.
As a novice in this, thanks for your help and patience!

When I was typing an email on my iPad, I hit something (???) on the screen which made the paragraph turn blue with a vertical line being added down the left hand boundary of the paragraph ! How do I get it to revert to being black type with no line ?

When I was typing an email on my iPad, I hit some part of the screen (not sure which part !)which made the type in the paragraph I was writing turn blue, and a vertical line appeared down the left hand boundary of the paragraph ! How do I get rid of the blue type and blue vertical line ?

A single tap of the blue does nothing ! A double tap offers copy, define, select all.

Display PDF in Browser Option

I am able to open a PDF file from a particular protected Website. I can fill in the required info, but when I attempt to Save/File it back to the site, the following pops up: "For security reasons your return could not be saved. Please ensure that the 'Display PDF in Browser' option is selected under the Edit-Preferences-Internet Settings in Adobe Reader."
Adobe Reader XI, Internet Explorer 10 & Windows 7 are loaded on my PC.
I cannot trace 'Display PDF in Browser' under settings, but using Tools>Manage Add-ons>Toolbars and Extensions>Show>All Add-ons, I can see that 'Open PDFs in the Browser' is Enabled.
I also used the Registry Editor: Adobe>Reader>exe to confirm the Name, Type & Data in the string value: (ab), REG_SZ, C:\Program Files\(x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
No help is forthcoming from the Website, despite me logging a call to their service centre
Does the problem lie at my end, or the Website?

Hi Ben,
I manually added the registry setting but it made no difference.
I uninstalled 10.1.4 and reinstalled 10.1.3 and with 10.1.3 I am able to view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
I re-downloaded and reinstalled 10.1.4 and retried and now I can view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
Strange.

Acrobat X Pro PDF in Browser

I have just deployed Acrobat X within my organization and I'm having trouble with the Display PDF in Browser setting and my users. Quite a number of my users this time of year are generating bills for members of our organization, and in order for this to work the Display PDF in Browser setting needs to be unselected. We also use ADP for our payroll system and in order to get a copy of our pay statement the Display PDF in Browser setting needs to be selected.
Systems are using IE8 as a default browser on 32bit Windows systems (XP, 7). Is there a correct way to code PDF links to open within the browser? If there is I'd like to run the fix by my web designer to make sure that things are configured correctly so I can change the setting either one way or the other and fix everything.

Hi URT301,
Please see this document: PDF Ownership when Reader X is Installed with Acrobat. You'll find several solutions to this problem in the FAQ section.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Open PDF in browser causes blank error box (Windows 7)

I just freshly installed Windows 7 today. I then installed Adobe Design Premium CS4, including Adobe Acrobat Pro. I use IE8 and Firefox 3.6.
FYI, this problem does not occur in Windows Vista or lower...only Windows 7.
The problem is that when I click on links to PDF documents that open in a browser window, a blank error message box will sometimes popup and nothing else happens (see blank error box below). But other times when I click on the same PDF, it will open just fine. I tried opening it four times in a row, and it worked 3/4 times. Then, I did it four times again, and it only worked 1/4 that time. Totally random.
So I tried clearing the browser cache - no luck.
Tried reinstalling Adobe Reader 9.3 - no luck.
Tried uninstalling Adobe.com and Adobe AIR - no luck.
Tried both IE8 and Firefox - both randomly showed the blank error box.
The PDF documents are being rendered through PHP, so I also tried changing the PHP header(), but the same blank error box kept randomly showing up.
What in the world is going on here?

Guys,
There is a simple workaround for this. Just DON'T "Display PDF in a Browser". At first I was going to have all the users in my company Right-Mouse Click and Save PDF to their Desktop. But then realized it's just simpler to have the PDF open in the Reader and it gets around the problem fine. This is a great workaround until the whole Windows 7/IE8/Adobe PDF situation mature a bit.
In case you forgot the instructions from John, here's how:
Open Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (Pro):
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> UNCHECK the "Display PDF in browser"
This worked for our company. Hope it works for you.

Viewing pdf in browser window

I know this problem has been addressed in NUMEROUS other threads, but I've read through at least 20 of them now, including threads elsewhere on the web, and NONE of them solve my problems. Neither Safari 3.1.2 or Firefox 3.0.1 will open pdfs within a browser window on my machine (OS 10.4.11, PowerBook G4, pre-Intel chip). I have Adobe Reader 9.0.0 installed, but both the "display pdf in browser using" and "allow fast web view" options are turned off. I have also removed any Adobe pdf plugins from my user/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folders. In an attempt to get things to work, I downloaded and installed PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3. This plugin is in both folders, and both browsers recognize that the plugin is installed. But both still insist on opening pdf through Adobe Reader. I can get both browsers to open pdfs using the plugin if I use the "open with" option on a pdf and request either Safari or Firefox. In these cases, the pdf will open seemlessly within the browser window. But any time I try to open a pdf through a website, Safari immediately saves to disk and Firefox asks me what I want to do with it (save or open in Reader). There's kind of a workaround in Firefox: if I specify that pdfs be opened by Firefox instead of Reader, they will open automatically in Firefox when I click on them, but they actually get downloaded to my desktop and then opened in a new browser window, so they're not really being opened within the browser--and my desktop ends up cluttered with pdfs that I don't want.
I'm at the end of my rope here, so if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them.
Thanks,
jd

First off, thanks for the help. It appears that things are working now, for the most part--the odd behavior was specific to the particular online pdf file that I happened to be using to test things. I wasn't control clicking on that one, and it still insisted on downloading. But all other pdfs appear to behave normally. Which really does solve my problem, since the right-click option in Safari to "view in Preview" gives me all the functionality that I get with Reader, only quicker.
But just to convince you I'm not crazy for expecting pdf-viewing menus in my browser window, this is from Safari Help:
"When you click a link for a PDF file, Safari displays it in your browser window and provides a toolbar to help you view the file... To view the toolbar, put the mouse pointer in the middle of the PDF page, near the bottom. If you move the pointer away from the toolbar, it disappears after a moment. The toolbar has four icons. Point to each icon to see a label."
I don't get the toolbar. I still have some control through the ctrl-click menu, but no toolbar. The same goes for the google pdf browser plugin. This is from Schubert IT:
"The Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin perfectly integrates into your web browser and with its great Mac look & feel it looks like it always belonged into it. Easy to use and intuitive toolbar buttons give you quick access to the most common features, and a standard Action menu lets you access everything else – even while the toolbar is hidden in cases when you need the maximum screen real estate."
I can't find the toolbar anywhere.
As for OSX being superior to Windows in every regard, I am pretty much inclined to agree with you. Generally Mac deals with pdfs much more smoothly, which is why I was frustrated with my problem. I still think that the Windows browsers play better with Adobe Reader--the integration of Reader into the browser window seems pretty nice on my PC at work. But I'm happy with the solution you've given me, and I'll stay away from Reader in the future. And once I realize how much better life is without Reader, I'll have yet another reason to hate going to work.

Enabling/Disabling PDF in Browser Option (Acrobat XI)

Firstly, know that yes I understand that this setting is no longer found in and handled by Acrobat XI and that to enable or disable PDF in browser setting you enable/disable the add-on in IE (or other browser).
In the hopes of making it more straightforward and convenient for users to toggle this setting, one option is being explored to create a custom Javascript action in Acrobat to write to the user registry to turn this on/off.
Is this feasible? Can Acrobat JavaScript actions read and write to the user's registry? As we have a collection of users that need to regularly toggle this setting (for reasons I won't go into here), it would be ideal to have an easy and straightforward means to change this setting. One possibility might be a custom Acrobat JavaScript action.
Thoughts, suggestions, ideas?
Thank you

Thank you. Forgive me but I want to make absolutely certain...in no way can a custom Acrobat JavaScript action change the user's registry. Is this correct? A pointer to official documentation stating such would be excellent. I have to convince someone not easily convinced

Acrobat Pro 8.2.0 can't open pdfs in browser

We just upgraded all our PCs (XP SP3) to IE8 and
now I have one machine that will not open pdfs from the browser. I've tried uninstalling acrobat and tried reloading it but no luck. The thing is, when I open Acrobat and go to Edit > Preferences > Internet, the "display pdf in browser" option is greyed out. There is no way to select it.
Thanks,
Wayne
