Show button on file open if interactivity supported

Is there any way to show a button upon file open if and only if the PDF reader opening the file supports interactivity? That is, there's no point showing the button if the end user can't do anything with it.
It would be fine if the button showed if and only if the PDF reader opening the file is an Adobe product, but it's not a requirement.
Steps:
1. Open file
Expected result: If interactivity is supported (or if the reader is an Adobe product, doesn't matter), show the button.
The button is not part of a form, but rather is used to show and hide layers. It is okay if the expected result requires JavaScript, as if they have JavaScript disabled, they would get the same result as if they had no interactivity.

You could define an invisible button and have JavaScript to make it visible on open. Not guaranteed (because who knows what all PDF viewers will do) but worth trying.

  • CP5 Button WIdget FILE Open problems

    Hi,
    I'm running CP5.  I want to have a button that exists on ALL slides, so I used the button widget.  I want it to open a file when clicked.  I keep getttnig "file does not exist errors".  Now I know the file exists because to test, I also put a regular button on slide 1 and had it open the same file, so the file is there and can be opened.  All other aspects of the button widget seem to work (open URL, go to next, etc), but I can't get the file open to work.  What am I missing here?
    Help....
    Thanks,

    Are you pointing to another CP-file? You have to point to the cptx-file, not to the published SWF.

  • Stop bookmarks from showing up when file opened

    Is there a way to stop the bookmarks bar from opening automatically when a file is opened??? thanks

    If it opens because of the document's "File > Properties >Initial View" setting, you can change it if there's no security.

  • How to open a File open In forms6i

    hi ,
    Forms 6i,oracle9i
    I have a table like this
    image(sid number,pics blob)
    and in forms 6i i have a display item namely Filename and besides a small button is there , when the user presses the button then File open dialog should be displayed and the user should select the image file and that path should be copied into display item. then automatically the Image file should be reterived in pics( as my Image block is db block).
    and when the user reterives the data, the existing images in the table should automatically come.
    I have searched in the forum, but very much confused about the WEB util package.
    IF possible send me the steps to configure the WEB UTIL for 6i or 9i or 10G.

  • Word + Excel 2010 - Showing 'another user' on opening a file

    Hi,
    Bit of a odd question I would imagine but its quite a critical issue for us due to the nature of our work. All our employees have the latest Dell machines with Windows XP Pro and Office 2010 installed ... now we have a series of map drives (about 12) each
    having over 500,000 documents in (across various directories). Now when a user opens a document either in Word or Excel it goes ready only and produces the 'document can only be opened in read only' message.
    Now this is all normal, the bit that confuses me is 90% of the time it says 'document in use by another user' ... and 10% of the time, it will actually say the user who is in the document (using their logged in username) ... 
    In short, what I'm getting at is, how can I make office applications, namely word and excel say who is in the file, rather than 'another user'. This used to work perfectly in Office 2003 but since the upgrade to 2010 it's stopped.
    Thanks

    There is a public blog on file locking issues (http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx).
    I would suggest the following:
    If you are seeing problems where the file is locked when double clicking from Windows Explorer, but the files open up correctly when opened in Excel or Word, do the following:
    Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items
    This is a problem that has been reported to affect Windows 7 clients only, not Windows XP. The problem here may have something to do with the Windows Explorer in Windows 7. We are currently investigating this further and will post more information as it is
    available.
    In a Windows Explorer window, do the following:
    1. Right click on the Start Button.
    2. Click 'Open Windows Explorer'.
    3. At the top left click Organize > Layout
    4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
    5. On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options.  In the box that opens up, click on the View tab.  Scroll down the list to
    “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.
    If you are seeing issues where the wrong user name is showing up, there is a known bug on that and a fix:
    In cases where the wrong user name is displayed in the file lock dialog
    Sometimes where it says 'another user' it has the name of someone that didn't open the file or it has no name at all. Just a big ' ' where a name ought to be. Fear not, there is a fix for this problem. The flavor depends on
    whether you have Excel 2010 or Excel 2007. The below KB Articles contain hotfixes that address several issues, not just the file locked issue. But in the dialog of the article you will see this as one of the problem descriptions:
    Assume that you have an .xls file that is protected by Information Rights Management (IRM) on a network share. When you open the file in Excel 2007, a File In Use dialog box appears. However, the dialog box does not display the
    correct name of the user who locked the file. Therefore, you cannot edit the file.
    Understand that these fixes don't make the File in Use dialog go away, they just correct the problem of showing bogus user name information on the dialog itself.

  • My iTunes won't let me add music from a file, button stays on open and not add! don't know what to do!

    It wants to erase your iPhone because you are not syncing it to the same library.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    iCloud only stores a copy of your non-iTunes purchases if you subscribe to Match. It still isn't the best way to get your music to a new computer.  That's
    (if you use iTunes' default preferences settings):  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • How to create a button to get File Open popup window and select a file

    Hi,
    I have an applet that contains Browse button. When user clicks on that, a File Open popup window should be displayed to enable user to select the input file. This file path should be given back as parameter.
    How to do this? I have tried using LoadFileData but not able to get the desired result.
    Any pointers would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Lalitha Dandibotla

    Do you need only the path or also the file back into Siebel?
    If you need both, the have a look at any attachment applet, that will give you a good start.
    Are you using Siebel in High Interactivity (HI) Mode or Standard Interactivity (SI) Mode?
    If you are in SI Mode have a look at the html type
    <input type="file">

  • Show File Open Dialog and get File

    Am creating a document where I want to prompt the user with the File Open dialog box and when a file is selected, I want to get that file and attach to the document. I know the scripting allows files to be attached but how do I display the dialog and then attach using the script.
    Will greatly appreciate the help.
    Am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7
    Thanks
    Nilesh!

    Hi Nilesh,
    You can use the getDataObject method of the Adobe document object. Below is a sample script that you can attach to the click event of a button to see how it works. For more information on importDataObject and getDataObject go to
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/javascript/AcroJS.pdf
    SAMPLE
    ======
    //Get a handle to the Adobe document object
    var doc = event.target;
    //Display a file dialog box and assign the name Attachment to the
    //DataObject that contains the selected file.
    doc.importDataObject("Attachment");
    //Get the DataObject and store it in MyData
    var MyData = doc.getDataObject("Attachment");
    //Clear and display the console window
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    //Output the properties of the DataObject
    for (var i in MyData) console.println("MyData." + i + "=" + MyData[i]);

  • Logic shows aqua dialogs and beachballs on file- open

    Hey,
    Hoping someone here has had this problem and might be able to help me. Today Logic Express (7.2.3) started displaying dialogs in the aqua theme, and beachballing (never recovering) when I try File->open.
    I realise this sounds familiar to the issue here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301838
    But my machine is an intel Mac Mini, not a PPC in the article. I tried the procedure in the article still, but no luck.
    Other than that, I've been through most it seems:
    - Completely removing/reinstalling Logic by removing the application, application support folder and installation receipts.
    - Updating Pro App support to 4.0 (it already was at that version, but worth a try)
    - Completely removing/reinstalling Pro App support 4.0.
    - Launching Logic without CoreAudio enabled (holding control).
    - Launching Logic with just the built-in audio driver.
    None of the above fixes the problem.
    I also see the following line in console.log at the time the beachballing starts:
    2007-05-25 14:46:46.248 Logic Express[3422] * -[NSView requiredWidth]: selector not recognized [self = 0x1d60c400]
    Which I suspect is a message sent to the supposed Pro App-looking dialog but not received well by the aqua dialog.
    Anyone have a clue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I use Logic 7.2.3 on a iBook G4 and have this issue. I don't think that it's Intel related. I have the same exact output in my console.log (including other Logic Setup Assistant errors):

    May 27 11:42:44 ibook3 crashdump[315]: crash report written to: /Users/paul/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Logic Pro.crash.log
    It's not interface related. I use a M-Audio FW-410 with the latest 1.8.2 driver. I even tried the previous version driver to no avail. But I've also unplugged the interface entirely and rebooted with the same results.
    I can get this problem to happen by simply starting Logic and clicking on the record enable button for track 1. Instead of turning red, it spins the rainbow wheel for 3 seconds and then tells me it has crashed.
    The problem also happened when trying to Insert Audio into track 1. Seems like it could be related to the Open dialog -- or maybe its related to disk space. I only have 4G free on my hard drive. This should be plenty, but even if it weren't should Logic crash like this? I have 1.5G of RAM so I'm sure it's not that.
    I'm going to try removing some files next. Anyone else have any other ideas???? Anyone??? Are there more than two people with this issue? I didn't do anything special at all to make this start happening other than keeping up with all the latest updates of everything.
    I'm tempted to do a complete uninstall-reinstall-reupdate. But you tried this already didn't you? -pc

    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • File Open Dialog Box  on Button Click

    Hi
    I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
    I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
    Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
    I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
    But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
    I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

    HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

    My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

    I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
    I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
    I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

  • My photos are not showing up in the 'Open File' window

    When I try to access my Aperture library through the 'Photo' button on the left hand column of the open file dialogue box, I see an option for aperture but it brings up an incomplete version of my library. There do not seem to be any other versions (or older versions) of my Aperture library floating around on my computer. Is this a refresh problem? Is there a way to force a refresh? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joel Richards

    Bob,
    I have had may similar problems lately, as I experiment with putting photos on my iPad and iPhone.  (iTunes uses previews from Aperture, and the media browser (File -> Open) uses previews too.)
    It seems that something went haywire with Aperture's preview generation in the last year.  All I can suggest (from my personal experience) is to select all the photos you want, delete the previews, close Aperture, restart Aperture, regenerate the previews, close Aperture, restart Aperture and then do a couple different random things while waiting to figure out what happened.
    I don't mean to sound unhelpful, but that actually is the set of steps I follow when trying to figure out what's wrong with my preview sharing.
