Should pdf layers work on AdobeReader for Android?

AdobeReader for Android: Do pdf-layers function?
I can´t get the layers to work, I can´t even find the symbol for the layers.
We have a large amount of layered pdf files, often combined to pdf packages, that we would like to send to our partners. There has been problems with the packages when using Linux but we have solved them by breaking down the packages into individual files. After that layers etc. have been working OK.
Now the problem comes with the android tablets. Packages work OK, but the layers don´t seem to work. Is there a solutions somwhere, or is it just a question of waiting for a newer version of the Reader and hoping that our customers remain patient ?
TTaa1

In the meantime, is this requested feature on the roadmap already?
I really need this feature. The use case in my situation is that a field engineer should be able select and deselect layers of building schematics on their tablet while working on site.
Thanks for your answer in advance!

  • Open pdf from an Air application for Android

    Hi at all,
    i'm developing an AIR Application for Android devices.
    Into the app there is a button which should open a pdf file with the default pdf reader (multitasking), but doesn't work!
    I've an Android Emulator (2.2).
    This is the code
    protected function openClickHandler():void
            f.openWithDefaultApplication();
    f is a File object which points to pdf into the storage folder.
    Any suggest! Help!!
    Thanks.
    F.

    Specific use cases from developers is one way Adobe prioritizes feature development. That's why whenever you request a feature, the response will often include a request for a use case -- even if the use of the feature seems self-evident. Your use case could add more value to a potential feature beyond the self-evident.
    Thanks!

  • Netstream.close(); doesn't work on air for android?

    Hi,
    I'm building a video app for android with air and I cant stop netstream from streaming a video.
    When a video is playing the user can choose to move to the next video but the current video still streaming even when i call ns.close();. On the desktop it works.
    Is this a known bug? or am i doing something wrong...
    The code is the standart netstream method, and when i want to load a new video:
    ns.close();
    ns.play("some url");
    I need to solve this issue and the app is finished! please help!

    Further feedback regards this fix.  It certainly opens up video app development and allows for slick demos.
    However, since videos are not freezing up I can now see clearly the buffering that's going on which seems to be another area that needs attention... Any hints/feedback regards this would be appreciated.
    Specifically, I find a fair disconnect in behaviour between video playback on the desktop and on Android.  This may be because of Android design but this should be noted since it might lead another change at Adobe's end.
    The behavior is as follows (note that this includes my own created videos and videos obtained from the internet -- my videos work a little bit better and I know that one thing I usually do is CBR, constant bit rate which may help things) :
    on the desktop===>: 100%, all wireless network video streams buffer flawlessly... roughly speaking, about 20 seconds of video every second, plus if you seek to an unloaded part, the video patiently waits until that part is loaded
    on android===>: all wireless network video streams seem to have their own signature for buffering. Although many of the streams will buffer normal, maybe half buffer normally for 100 to 250 seconds of video data and then stop and wait for the playback to catch up, after which time they buffer slowly. This stop can therefore be 100+ seconds that no buffering is occuring. A few of the videos will even forget to continue buffering ( a netstream.buffer.empty is eventually fired and game over )  The behaviours are essentially repeatable for each video (I have my worst case video) although if you seek forward sometimes it will remember to resume buffering right away.   Another symptom is that unlike the desktop, you cannot seek to an unloaded part, instead you generate a nestream.seek.invalidtime and the video simply resumes (I actually workaround this as I suspect it causes problems for me if I don't).
    There are other discrepencies that I ask which is proper / better ?  ===> on desktop a pause does not interrupt buffering, while on Android a pause stops the buffering....====>   on desktop there seems to be a cache for the videos if you jump around between them while on Android everything is cleared out on the dispose()
    as mentioned above, any hints/feedback would be appreciated. I'm trying to relate this to other outstanding forum and outside forum related issues and still thinking the fail part might be an Android/hardware realtionship but not sure and analyzing.
    thanks.

  • Textfield not working in air for android

    Hi,
    I have a weird problem. An input text component that works in air for desktop refuses to work in an air for android application.
    It draws on the screen as it should but i cant input text. Am i missing something fundamental?
    It is kind of hard to log in if i cant enter credentials
    Here is the code:
       idFmt1= new TextFormat("arial",18,0x000000);
       idFmt1.align="left";
       _inputText= new TextField();
       _inputText.defaultTextFormat = idFmt1;
       _inputText.x=150;
       _inputText.height = 35;
       _inputText.width= 150;
       _inputText.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
       _inputText.background = true;
       _inputText.backgroundColor = 0xa0a0a0;
       _inputText.text = _initText;
       _inputText.tabEnabled = true;
       _inputText.tabIndex = 1;
       _inputText.displayAsPassword = false;
       _inputText.antiAliasType = flash.text.AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
       _inputText.embedFonts = true;
       _inputText.alwaysShowSelection = true;
       _inputText.mouseEnabled=true;
       addChild(_inputText);

    I can't seem to get anywhere with capturing text input! I set the "type" to TextFieldType.INPUT  but this is still ignored on both the desktop and the device. If I place an input textield on the scene in Flash, that works in so far as it brings up the Android keyboard - but then nothing you type is of any consequence.
    What could I be missing?

  • Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

    Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
    Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
    Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
    Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
    Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
    Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
    Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

    Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

  • OnePlus One: hardware accelerated mp4/h.264 not working in Firefox for Android

    Videos being played via HTML5 player in Firefox for Android do not play correctly, because the hardware acceleration is not implemented correctly. Tested with latest version (14 oktober 2014); Fennec (33.0)
    It seems related to the GPU (Adreno 330). The OnePlus One has the same GPU as the LG G2, and that phone has the exact same issue, as you can see here: https://support.mozilla.org/nl/questions/1022029
    The videos play fine in Chrome for android and the also play fine in Firefox if you disable the hardware acceleration via:
    about:config -> stagefright.disable = true
    Can anyone please fix this?

    In addition: I've also tried it with the latest beta (Fennec 34.0).. Same result.

  • PDF Forms on Adobe Acrobat for Android

    So I created a PDF form and the I loaded it on my android tablet.  I filled out some of the fields and close it to fill it the reset of the fields at a later time.  When I re-open the PDF, all my information that I already filled in is there but I can no longer access the fields and fill in the rest of the form. If I load that PDF on my computer, the fields are all accessable but on any android device they are not.
    Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    This should not be happening. Is the form one that you can share with the dev team to look at?
    If so, send it to [email protected] with an explantion of the problem. We may be able to identify the issue and fix it in a future update.

  • How can I synchronized Firefox and Google to work ad one for android phone Motorola Bionic.

    I want to synchronized Firefox with Google/ Chrome.

    Hi,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. Firefox is pretty awesome that developers can develop almost anything with the openness of it. Firefox Sync is a built in sync to sync your Firefox profile across devices.
    For bookmarks there is Xmarks the extension, though be sure to turn on syncing for all or else you will get duplicates.
    superuser answer: [http://superuser.com/questions/233719/how-to-sync-bookmarks-across-google-chrome-and-mozilla-firefox-bookmarks]
    Firefox is pretty amazing, and let us know if this helps your issue.

  • Bookmarks in Reader for Android

    Why do bookmarks not work in Reader for Android.  I have a document that I have added bookmarks to using Acrobat X Pro but when I view the document on my Android device the bookmarks do not appear.

    You should see a bookmark icon in the toolbar that you can tap to open the bookmarks pane. Do you not see that? If not, could you forward the sample docment to [email protected] with an explanation of the problem, so we can related it back to this forum posting?

  • Advice on using Flash in the future for Android VS. Air VS. Web Development

    First, I am not trolling and I see that other similar questions have been asked recently, though I am looking for specific info to meet the needs of our program (that is why I am posting this now).
    We've been teaching Flash at a community college for many years. After Adobe stopped development of the Flash Player for browsers, I'm left wondering what the future of Flash in the web will be? Data shows that a majority of web browsing will take place from mobile devices over the next several years, and if you are not going to be able to view Flash web content in a browser from a mobile device, I am concerned about whether it makes sense to continue teaching Flash to students for web design/development. I know Flash can also be used for developing applications, Air, etc., and we do some of that currently, I'm just wondering how Adobe can expect developers to commit to the platform for web development without supporting mobile web browsers. Am I missing something? Do developers see this differently? I appreciate any insight from Flash developers or Adobe employees. FYI - I just did a similar analysis with our video editing program and asked similar questions in an Apple Final Cut Pro forum and we are moving away from Apple's Final Cut Pro after they changed direction with their latest release and we are now going to start teaching Adobe Premiere. Should we focus teaching Flash for Android and Air development and back off from using it for web development?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'd like an answer for this one too.  Thank you, "Media Kat" for posting the question.  I am a prototyper with a background in art and design, who has worked exclusively with Flash for nearly 13 years.  I'm currently working with AIR for Android, but my superiors and associates think AIR is going to die (along with the rest of Flash) and don't understand that simply "switching to HTML5" is not a very palatable answer.  It would be helpful to hear from someone "in the know" about the future of Flash.
    Thanks.
    P.S.  If someone from Adobe answers this, please don't BS me like they did at the last forum I attended at Adobe headquarters in San Jose.  We asked specifically if Flash and/oir Flex were dying and were assured that they had a long future... Three weeks before the announcement to kill it!  :-(

  • Adobe Reader for Android - Arabic support issue

    Dear Support,
    I am trying to reach the developer for long time but the email provided is a mailing list which no one else has the right to post to it except their team.
    There is a big problem with Arabic words searching in an Arabic PDF file with adobe Reader for android. To search for a word, I have to write the words backward, like instead of "Adobe" I have to write "ebodA" but in Arabic language. I know that your app developers are Indians, but please let an Arabic person show you how he can't search for a word in an Arabic PDF file. Please fix it urgently. it is very important for the Arabic language readers. Thanks for your action.

  • When will Firefox have Adobe Flash for Android cell phones?

    My website requires Adobe Flash Player to be installed to view images in my photo gallery. Why doesn't Mozilla Firefox support Adobe Flash Player? Will it be available in the very near future? This is an extremely important feature for my site.

    Firefox can use Flash if it is on your device, although this may not always work perfectly. But Firefox never comes with Flash bundled in (I think this is due to Firefox using an open source software license).
    This article has a link for installing Flash from Adobe's site: [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]].
    Regarding the design of your gallery, how does it work on Apple iOS devices that can't run Flash due to Apple policies? Maybe there's a similar "fallback" technique that can work on Firefox for Android if the user hasn't installed Flash.
