PDF through VBA: How to set Initial View?

- Adobe Acrobat 6.0 (sorry we're a bit out of date)
- MS Office 2003
- MS Windows XP Professional SP2
I am trying to automate the creation of PDFs from MS Word. I have succeeded. My VBA code works fine (have pasted it below). I can create a PDF, and give it a title and author.
The problem I am having is with the Initial View settings, i.e. how the document opens. I want to hardcode:
1. Show to "Page Only"
2. Page Layout to "Continuous"
3. Magnification to "Fit Width"
The first I have done, using AcroExch.PDDoc's SetPageMode() function (although it seems to default to that even without doing this). I cannot, for the life of me, find any reference to the second and third, though. This must be doable, right? Be kind of weird not to have access to this in the API.
Hours of Googling has thrown up three ideas I've discarded.
1. AcroExch.App's SetPreference() function. This would presumably change preferences on the machine making the PDF, not reading it. I don't want to fiddle with other people's preferences anyway.
2. AcroExch.AVPageView's ZoomTo() function. Ditto. I am not creating an app to view PDFs, just trying to configure the default for opening one I've created.
3. An "undocumented" SetOpenInfo() in AcroExch.PDDoc. This looked the most promising for Magnification, but nobody seems to be able to get it to work, and it does nothing for me either. Someone somewhere even suggested it had been deprecated in later versions of Acrobat.
So... what do I do?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

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)

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.

Can not view PDF's after upgrading to FF 4.0.

Using FF3.6 I downloaded an Add-On that allowed me to view .pdf's directly in the browser. Now having upgraded {?} to FF4.0 I can not view automaticaly, nor are these Add-On's available for 4.0.
What do I do?

* You can check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* You can check the Tools > Page Info > Media tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

Error while opening report in pdf through OAF.

This is my first report through OAF and I followed a couple threads discussed on this but I am unable to debug this problem
Requirement - User clicks the image and is prompted to open/save pdf result file.It doesnt take any user parameters
Error is : I get prompted to open/save the pdf file . I click on Open or Save it and then Open, it gives me the following error :
'could not open because it either is not a supported file or because the file has been damaged(for example , it was sent as an email attachement and wasnt correctly decoded)'
Steps taken so far :
1. Created VO with query select a,b,c from Table A
2. Created a simple xml page, with a torch image : Set Action Type and Event property of the Torch Image Item to FireAction and GenerateReport
3. Wrote the code in CO and AM to get the data in XMLNode.
4. I did SOPs , copypasted the xml in notepad saved it as xml, loaded in MSWord and created a template.Viewing pdf generates a pdf here on this data
5. With "XML Publisher Administrator" Responsibility, I created Data Definition and Template Definition.
6. I deployed all the files on server and ran the report. It prompts me to open the pdf but it seems corrupted. In Jserv.log, xml gets printed through SOPs.
One thing I noticed is: <?xml version="1.0"?> is missing from xml.

Hi,
Basically the reason for this is that your "PDF file" is not populated with the correct pdf structure that Adobe recognizes (i.e. save the file and look at it in notepad, you'll see it's probably in html or a java stack trace). 2 reason's this happens
1.You do not have the necessary library files attached to your project i.e. for XMLPublisher you will need $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/fnd/* and $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/xdo/*. Zip these up and add them to your libraries section of your project.
2. Your XML Publisher properties are not configured correctly. (usually causes a blank file) To change this go to (E-Business Suite>XML Publisher Administrator>Administration>General>Temporary Directory). Depending on what your doing you will need to point this to either a server location or a local location. i.e. when uploading defintion/template and previewing it requires a server-side location to generate a temporary file for the preview, when running a jdeveloper project it will look for a local directory to generate the temporary file. If it cannot find the directory it will throw an error to System.out, and send the HttpServletResponse container a 0bytes file. For local development on a windows box I suggest setting the "Temporary Directory" to something like "C:\oracle" and ensure that folder exists.
Hope this helps
Brad

Can't view PDF files in Wb Browser

Hello from a relative newbie to Adobe.
Recently I began getting the message " Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again " when viewing web sites.
I have Adobe Acrobat 4 ( and always have, I think ) so I successfully downloaded Version 9.1 but still keep getting the same message.
Could I get some help please ?
Cheers,

As long as I can view the current bank files (not downloads), the actual statements are not vital. I can print those pages, but it's just very difficult and time consuming to go through all of that when a statement is what I need. I can always go back to paper statements in the mail, but those would just be current.
Anyway, it happened just as you said...out of the blue. You probably know more than I do about computer issues...you might check out your firewall and security settings. I get lost when I start checking things out, so I'll try to keep track and let you know if I find a solution.
Thanks, George...maybe Adobe will respond???
Take care.....

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.

You're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

Sorry, this is a user to user forum and we're just customers who help out when we can, so things don't always happen right away.
Reader, Regardless of OS or device, is as the name implies, only a Reader. There are different mail settings between Mac Mail Outlook and Thunderbird as well as Andsroid's mail app, whose name escpoaes me.
Have you checked in the Live Cycle Forum? There are people there with FAR more experience using LC developed forms. It's part of my Creative Suite, but I've never even opened it myself.

Can't open pdfs through ie8/9 crashes upon opening

adobe reader plugin crashes when trying open pdfs through internet explorer 8 or 9 i have windows vista 32 bit home premium i need to get assignments for class but can't with the plugin crashing all the time when opening the file to view it adobe plugin works fine on my laptop but not on my desktop can anyone help me fix this

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.

Viewing pdf files on memory card

Hi
I need to be able to save a pdf to memory card and then view it, this will be on devices that are below version 7. Currently as I understand, it is possible to do this on bb's with version 7 or above through doc's to go premium edition.
Obviously I could goto appworld and download to device, however this will not work in the corporate environment (credit cards etc) and there are about 50 devices.
Does anyone know of a company that I could purchase a license from so I can push from BES or any other ideas how I can best do this?
Thanks
Mike

Viewing PDFs in browser on a Mac with Firefox 16

I have Firefox 16.0.2 because it's the latest version compatible with with Mac OS 10.5. I'm not willing to upgrade my Mac right now because it works perfectly fine (aside from not being compatible with stuff), and I don't feel like paying or going through the hassle. I'm so far behind right now that I would have to update my operating system at least three times to get up to date. I used to have some sort of plug-in or extension that allowed me to view PDFs in my browser. It was buggy, but it was working up through yesterday. Then I was having some issues, no idea what they were, and ended up having to reset Firefox. I lost all my add-ons. I have been unsuccessful in finding whatever it was I had before. Is there ANY possible way I can view PDFs in my browser? This is driving me absolutely nuts.

Not really interested in switching my operating system at the moment. The only real problem with it is back compatibility of certain things (like updated versions of Firefox, for example), but for my everyday use it doesn't cause a problem. The only real thing that's annoying me at the moment is the fact that the PDFs open in Adobe instead of in Firefox, but that's not really worth the hassle of installing a new operating system for.
