"Show Cover Page during Two-Up" from within a browser window?

I frequently use the "Show Cover Page during Two-Up" option (from View menu->Page Display in Acrobat Pro 8.1).
Is there a way to do this from Acrobat Reader within a browser window? I often find myself having to save a PDF to my desktop only to open it in the standalone version of Acrobat because I don't have any access to the View menu while in Adobe Reader within a browser.
thanks in advance

This is not a feature request, but a query on how Acrobat works. Please repost in the Acrobat forum.

  • Show Cover Page during Two-Up - Hotkey or Button?

    Hi,
    I find myself toggling this setting (in Acrobat Pro 8.1) on and off all the time: Menu "View", "Page Display", "Show Cover Page during Two-Up".
    That's because I often read PDF editions of magazines where the full-page ads have been left out, thus the order of odd/even pages changes all the time while browsing. But there are graphics, tables and text boxes spanning two opposite pages, so the adjustment is indispensable...
    Clicking through to a nested submenu item can get so tedious over time!
    So, here are my questions:
    Is there a hidden keyboard shortcut for this function?
    Or is there a way to add a user defined button to a toolbar?
    Or macros? Some other trick to make life easier? :)
    If not, does Adobe accept enhancement suggestions and where?
    Thank you in advance
    Hans

  • Toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view" in Acrobat X?

    In Acrobat X, how about make a toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view"?  I find toggling this option to be useful for changing up the order of adjacent pages in magazines/books in which a two page spread has to match for a full large picture.  Due to frequent toggling, I would like a button/hotkey for this for easier access.

    Hotkeys for existing menu items are not modifiable, but you can add a scripted button which toggles it with the following code:
    if (layout.substr(-5)=="Right") layout = layout.replace("Right","Left");
    else layout = layout.replace("Left","Right");
    For info on how to add a button with a folder-level script, see the Acrobat SDK documentation. Scripted buttons will appear in a new panel on the tools pane in Acrobat X, not on the tool bar.

  • Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?

    I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
    There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.

    The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

  • PDF link of type "open a file" won't work from within web-browser

    Hi!
    I have a pdf-document in which I have created a link of the type "Open a file" ( in this case it is a word document, but the type of file doesn't matter).  When I click this link directly in Acrobat (Acrobat 9 Standard) it works just as excpected, that is, the document opens in word, after I've confirmed to Acrobat that it's ok to open.
    Opening the pdf itself from within a web-browser (IE8) is no problem. The document is opened by the Acrobat plug-in, inside the web-browser, as expected. The "hot-spot" to the link is also there, but when I click on the link, Acrobat (I think it's Acrobat and not the web-browser) asks me if it's ok to "Connect to file://///C:/testdoc.doc". And when I confirm this nothing happens (of course, since there are way too many slashes added after the "File:" beginning of the string.
    When I doublecheck the link in Acrobat Standard with the link tool, it look perfectly allright (under "Actions" I find the heading "Open a file" and under that the text "File: C\testdoc.doc").
    Anyone know where the problem lies?
    Thanks for any help!

    I found mention online that linking to a zipped pdf file will cause the browser to download the PDF to the local user's PC where they can complete and submit the form (the mailto: command button works when the PDF is opened locally rather than within a browser window).  If there is a more "elegant" solution, I would be grateful for your advice.

  • Preventing Copy & Paste from Within A Browser

    I created a pdf from a WORD document.  I then opened the PDF and went to ADVANCED>>SECURITY.  I applied sucurity principles that would not allow copy and paste as well as printing and I locked it with a password (the document can be opened without a password).
    If I try to copy and paste text with the PDF opened in Windows on my desktop, I cannot copy and paste text.  However when viewing the same document within a browser (Firefox), I am easily able to  copy and paste text and print.  Is there a way to prevent copy and printing from within a browser?
    Thanks!

    PDF viewers that are compliant to the standard will not allow this. The problem is some PDF viewers are less than compliant, such as some that are built-in to browsers. It looks like Firefox's does not respect security settings.

  • How do we get page to flow to edges of any browser window?

    How do we get page to flow to edges of any browser window?  CS3 Dreamweaver: 2 column liquid,left sidebar,header,footer

    With CSS divs or table widths defined in percentages instead of pixels.
    #container {width: 100%}
    Liquid layouts can get real unwieldy on super wide or super narrow displays. Thus, if I have a lot of content to display,  I prefer to use a semi-liquid layout = % based with min- and max-width restrictions to control layout.

  • Stop Jdev from hijacking existing browser windows

    I am making extensions to a seeded page and testing by running the page in JDeveloper. When I run the page JDeveloper grabs a (random?) open browser window and uses that. Not a major problem I admit but quite annoying !
    Is there a way to force Jdeveloper to open a new browser window when running pages ?

    If you are using IE as the browser, you might want to uncheck the option "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" in the Internet Options - Advanced tab.
    HTH.

  • Can I compare two databases from within SQL Server Management Studio

    Hi everyone.  I haven't found anything online, so I wanted to ask here.  I have two SQL Server databases running on our server.  One is the production database, and another is my development database that I use when I'm working on the program. 
    I add tables and columns and stuff to my development database, and was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to from within Management Studio or something to compare the two databases to make sure that they are the same and show me any differences. 
    I generally add tables or columns to both databases at the same time, but I worry that one time I might forget, so I would like to be able to run some sort of compare / check to make sure before releases...
    Thanks everyone for your help.  I greatly appreciate it.

    There is a command line utility that is with Microsoft SQL Management Studio called
    tablediff:

    An example:

  • Help with linking to a web page within same browser window

    I just upgraded my Flash MX to CS5.5 and am completely stumped at what would appear to be the most basic of functions.
    I have a small Flash movie that is embedded on a site. At the end of the movie, there is a call to action to click to another page on that site. However, it appears the only action in the Code Snippets panel is for an action that opens a new browser window. I miss the basic actions panel! Am I missing something here? How do I accomplish what I need to? I tried changing the code to "_self" instead of "_blank" but that doesn't work
    Here's the code:
    button_5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_9);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_9(event:MouseEvent):void
        navigateToURL(new URLRequest("purchase.html"), "_blank");

    You know, I tried that twice, and it didn't work...now it worked. Go figure
    Must have had something else wrong in the code.
    Thanks!

  • How can you stop slideshow from resizing the browser window iframe ?

    Does anyone know where the code is that causes the iweb slideshow to resize the browser window when it is opened?
    When it is placed on a page using <iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It resizes the browser window when it starts.

    Does anyone know where the code is that causes the

    When it is placed on a page using <iframe
    src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.
    html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no"
    style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It
    resizes the browser window when it starts.
    The iWeb .Mac slideshow, which you previously tried to add in an iframe, does have a function to resize the window. But it would not cause the whole window to resize, just page within the iframe so you would never know.
    However, the autoviewer one you are using should not do this.

  • Scrolling issues within the browser window

    How do I stop my screen from being able to scroll all the way to the right once the site is published?
    Not sure If that explains it very well, I have just published my site using the business catalyst and everything displays correctly, the only problem I have is that the bottom horizontal scoll bar on the browser window allows me to scroll all the way of the page to the right?
    Hope this makes sense!
    Thanks
    Mark

    Could you please check if you have some object (may be transparent object) outside the pge on the right? It might either be on the page or on Master page.
    Could you please provide us the Website URL where you are facing the isue. It will help us understand the issue better.

  • IE Browser not able to display a PDF file within the Browser window ...

    Hello acrobat experts!
    I'm now writing a plugin for the acrobat. According to my customer requirements, the pdf file is expected to be displayed within the MS IE
    browser widows. It worked within adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0.x.
    Now I wanted to test my plugin against version adobe Reader and Acrobat
    8.0, 8.1.0, 8.1.1. Unfortunately, I got a strange behavior: pdf files are
    being diplayed in seperate windows, i.e. the IE browser window is empty
    and white blanked!
    - (Un)check "Display PDF in browser" option and close the window
    didn't help!
    - I tried also to upgrade gradually and after each upgrade checked if the
    problem persists --> I had the same behavoir after each update:
    7.0.5 -> 8.0; 8.0 --> 8.1.0; 8.1.0 --> 8.1.1
    - In some google - forums I found out that the following DLL's may be
    missing:
    Acropdf.dll, Acroiehelper.dll,Gbdetect.dll and Pdfshell.dll
    i got these dll's, put them into the activeX directory, but still I
    have the same problem
    You guys, do you have useful links / tips for me? Is this a known bug
    in the acrobat / Reader 8.0, 8.1.0, 8.1.1?
    By the it works fine within firefox!
    Further info about user SW versions:
    IE browser version 6.0 SP2, Windows XP SP2
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help
    Caleb

    thanks for the quick feedback-
    no, because my customer is using the IE 6. According to the system
    requirements all these Acrobat/Reader versions should also run
    properly under IE 6 http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3796
    I have a look in IE >> manage- add-ons and got the following Add-ons
    for adobe
    - Adobe PDF
    - Adobe PDF Conversion Tool helper
    both are enabled!
    Do I need more?
    can u pls check, if u have the following ddl's in the adobe home dir:
    Acropdf.dll, Acroiehelper.dll,Gbdetect.dll and Pdfshell.dll
    Thanks

  • Launch an URL within same browser window

    Hi ABAP WebDynproExperts,
    Here is a short scenario description what I want to achieve.
    I have a ABAP WebDynpro Component which has "Input-Parameters" (Parameters of the Inbound-Plug - Default). Within the handledefault Method I want to call one of my own Function module which generates another URL.
    Now I want to launch this URL directly in the same browser window directly without putting the URL on an button. So the ABAP WebDynpro Component/Window/View has no UI elements itself - it should just be used to parse the "importing paramaters" via the url parameters to the backend and executing the URL without user interaction.
    Unfortunately I was not able to find a WD specific method how to call a URL in the same browser window? Do you have any ideas?
    Thank you & kind regards,
    Daniel

    Hi again,
    thanks for that. But that was not what I am looking for. Maybe it is unclear what I need.
    I try to reduce my point:
    Simplified I have the following coding in the implementation of Method "handledefault":
    METHOD handledefault .
       DATA: l_url type string.
       l_url = 'http://www.sap.com'.
    ENDMETHOD.
    I am looking for an ABAP WD command with which I can start this URL in the same browser window?
    Thank & kind regards,
    Daniel
