Using links in Acrobat Reader

I am running acrobat Reader 8.1.2 on a Mac OS 10.4.7. I want to link pages within the document and urls but cannot find the link tool in the tools menu. Are there settings I need to change to access this tool.

You can't disable the "Save As" option in your browser or any other program using JS. If you use Firefox, you could disable it using privileged JavaScript, but such code cannot be excuted from a website. So for all useful purposes, what I previously said is correct.

I am using the Adobe Acrobat Reader on a mac and I followed all the directions to copy an image but when I press paste only half of the image appears or it appears as an empty square. What can I do to fix this?

Hello,
I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

Using hyperlinks in Acrobat Reader iPad, iPhonr

I have created an 'eBook' on maritime safety, using current Word for Mac. There are several hyperlinks in it, which I have checked. When I output as PDF file, so it can be read using Adobe Reader (which works quite well with my text and graphics) none of the hyperlinks work. Am I missing something or does Reader on iPad/iPhone not recognize hyperlinks?
The Adobe Reader on my iMac recognises the hyperlinks perfectly.
Thanking in advance.

The problem is that Word for the Mac does NOT correctly write a link into the PDF file. But then why does it appear to work in Reader for the Mac or Acrobat for the Mac? Because those applications have a preference which temporarily creates a URL hyperlink. If you look at Preferences > General, you'll probably find that Create Links from URLs is checked. If you uncheck it, your links will not work.
If you look for links in Acrobat, you'll find there are no links. You can look for them with the Create or Edit Link tool.
Reader for iOS has no such preference. The problem is in the way Word for the Mac creates the PDF file. (It's not only hyperlinks. It's also not possible to generate bookmarks form Word for the Mac either. It's always been this way.)
You'll have to use Acrobat or another tool to correctly add hyperlinks.

Can't open lotus notes links with acrobat reader XI

We had acrobat reader 9 a few month ago. We did an upgrade to XI. Since the upgrade, we can't open lotus notes link in PDF. I receve a message : Could not open the file 'Notes://<server>/85256E990056A5F7/428FA5DA3ED9D82485256E6D005FA7AB/ED916EF56E1CC50B85257 545005AB67B'. (<server> is the name of my server)
The path is working. I can paste it in run and it's working. If I downgrade to reader 9, the link work with the same PDF.
I did some trace with procmon and I can see acrobat trying to open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Notes:\<server>\85256E990056A5F7\428FA5DA3ED9D82485256E6D005FA7AB\ED9 16EF56E1CC50B85257545005AB67B
I can't find anything about this issue...
anybody has an idea?

Having the same issue, Any hint ? Is Adobe aware of this problem ?

Download link for Acrobat reader

Hello, I am writing a script which should download the latest version of Acrobat reader and need a physical link which always refers to the latest version of the application. Could you provide such link?
Thanks in advance

If you mean a direct download link; no, there isn't. The download link always contains the version number, language & OS, e.g.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/completion/?installer=Reader_10.1.3_English_for_Windows
or
http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/en_US/AdbeRdr1013_en_US.exe

How to get collection of embeded fonts using plugins in acrobat reader?

I am trying to create a plugin for acrobat reader to display embedded fonts on opened document and will do business logic afterward, but not sure whats the method to get the collection of embedded fonts.
Please give me example of code snippet how to get collection of embedded fonts of opened document.
Thanks

PDDocEnumFonts() will enumerate the fonts in a document for you. You will have to look at each font to determine if it's embedded or not.
Don't forget that to build a plugin for Reader, you need a license from Adobe.

Adobe XI trial has stopped my use of previous version of Acrobat reader now that trial is over

Now that my Trial period is over of Adobe XI Pro, I cannot use my old Acrobat reader, nor open any of my .pdf files!!!!!!!!!!!
Need fix. Reloading Acrobat reader does not seem to fix this issue.

You’ll need to uninstall all traces of Acrobat first, then load the Reader.

Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX Zoom Issue

I can't seem to figure out a way to calculate the current zoom percentage. When the document comes up it's auto sized for width. However I have no way of knowing what the zoom value is. How do I figure out what the current zoom is? I'm using the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control. I can't use the full version or anything that requires a royalty because this application will be distributed to thousands of clients. So to the vendors that want me to buy their product don't waste your time... Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Acrobat reader plugin displays last page in IExplorer

For some reason, when I open a PDF using IExplorer, the acrobat reader displays the last page of the PDF document (instead of the first page). Not sure why this is happening, because it works ok when I use other browsers (like firefox, chrome and opera). Is this a plugin error?
The PDF version is 1.2 (it seems not all the PDF documents behave this way). I tried to change the document version using a third party java library and Adobe professional, but it didn't work.

IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
"<"body>
"<"OBJECT id="pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width=800
height=600 >
"<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
"<"/OBJECT>
"<"script language="JavaScript">
function waitLoad()
setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
function printFile()
var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
"<"/script>
"<"/body>
So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
Thank again.

Any Acrobat Reader 'free' / low cost plug-ins available?

Dear All,
I posted a week or so ago regarding using VB and Acrobat Reader. What I want to do is open a pdf in VB, navigate through the pdf then save the current page no. in VB. A sort of index builder.
I realise from the excellent comments / help I received that since this is aimed at Acrobat Reader the only way forward is a plug-in. Thus I thought I would investigate this route. I've been stopped in my tracks rather quickly after looking at the plug-in licence rates.
So, my question - Do 'general functionality' low cost plug-ins exist for Adobe Reader to help me solve my project?
Regards,
Albert.

Dear Michael,
What I'm trying to achieve is this;
Allow the user to load any pdf file they wish, browse the pdf and when they find they relevant section (defined by pdf page no.) allow them to 'index' this by storing the documents path/name and current page no. via VB. Its a sort of index but controlled by a VB program.
It appears I can do it with a plug-in but the project is only very small and does not have a budget to buy the plug-in yearly licence. The other way around this is to do it via VB and use a VB compliant pdf library, I was hoping to just use the functionality in the Acrobat Reader but it appears to have little in the way of what I need. It can load/browse the pdf but seems to have no acessible function to extract the page no. the user is current looking at.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Regards,
Albert.

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Links included into a PDF (to other PDFs) do not open in Surface RT and it works normally in normal Acrobat Reader in Windosw 8 in a desktop PC. ¿Why? Thanks

I have created a PDF in Acrobat X Pro that contains several links to other PDFs for interactivity in a publicación. It Works with no problems in Acrobat Reader in a PC but does not in the version for Surface 2 RT (Reader Touch). What's the problem?
Thanks
J.M.

QUOTE>>>To clarify, you would need to first check to see if the PDF extension is set to open (screenshot.20). THIS IS THE AREA THAT PDF IS NOT IN.
If it is not set to open with Acrobat <your version here> (screenshot.21), then you will need to manually tell the computer what program to use. This is where it becomes important to know the filename you are looking for. Adobe is a company; Acrobat is a program. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I TRIED TO DO AND OF COURSE I KNOWN I USED THE WRONG NAME / WORD HERE BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE CORRECT FILE. WHEN I CHOSE THE ACROBAT.EXE FILE IT WOULD STILL OPEN IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
I have a different version than you do, but as an example, my program is located here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe I'M IN THE RIGHT AREA AND GOT THE RIGHT FILE NAME. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE.
Can we get off the wrong word use and get back to a solution please. I am in the right folder c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 8.0\acrobat.exe and I am browsing for ACROBAT.exe (not ADOBE.exe - again wrong word in my first discussion)
Bad day, sorry!

The acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a browser

The subject says it all. I'm unable to open a link to a pdf file.
I'm using Mozilla on a Win 2000 machine.
Version 8.1.2 worked fine. I see some people have reverted back to this version. Is that the only fix?

"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
Here's the simple solution:
1. Open Adobe 9
2. Select Help on main Toolbar
3. Select "Repair Adobe Reader Installation"
Yes, but make sure that all previous versions of Acrobat and Reader have been removed from your computer.
I had on Vista Acrobat Reader 5 and 9 because sometimes was problem with printouts in duplex on Acrobat Reader version 7,8 and 9.
You can have more then one version of adobe reader on your computer.
I had to uninstall this Acrobat Reader 5 and select Repair Adobe Reader Installation on Adobe Reader 9.3.3 version.
Success.

Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

When opening a pdf link the process stalls and there is a message that Adobe acrobat reader is running. to the best of my knowledge I do not have the reader. I have an older version of Acrobat Pro. How can I fix this?

when opening a pdf link on a web poage the process stalls and there is a message that Adobe acrobat reader is running. To the best of my knowledge I do not have the Acrobat reader. To the best of my knowledge I have deleted the reader program. I have an older version of Acrobat Pro. The problem occurred before I did the deletion and continues since then.
