View PDF with Flex

Is it possible to load and view a PDF or a PDF thats been
convereted to an SWF in a flex app? I've seen sites like
docstoc.com / scribd.com / issue.com doing this. How are they doing
this? I have not been able to find much on this subject.
Would pdf2swf work for this? If so are the swf's generated by
this tool compatible with AS3? Does anyone have sample code showing
this example?
I am pretty much stuck. I would appreciate any help or
guidance. This seems to be a popular feature.

i don't think there is a component to do this. But I think,
you can open PDF inside you flex application using IFrame.
You may want to vote for the feature request:

I lost my ability to view PDFs with update and Lion install. Says "plugin missing", please help?!?!

I am trying to finish up a paper for my masters and now I am stuck because the library website won't work without PDF

Adobe has a knowledgebase article on this.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
Acrobat family
Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July 2011. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
Recommendation to Customers/Users:
For Acrobat customers who utilize functionality like forms, digital signatures, portfolios, guides, 3D, extended PDFs and rights management, and who require the Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in the Safari browser, Adobe recommends that you continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6. We will provide updates as we continue to investigate this issue.

Problem Using Back Button in IE When Viewing PDFs with Acrobat Pro

I have an administrative page on my website where I view PDFs of form data submitted by my clients. It has worked fine all along, but suddenly a problem. When I view a PDF, I could always hit the back button and it would take me to the Administrative Interface (of all of my forms). BUT now if I hit the back button it takes me right back to the same form (page) I'm viewing. Below if the Administrative Interface....It may be hard to see but on the left side is a link for the PDFs of available forms. Clicking on the link opens the form...but again when I then click back I'm supposed to return to this administrative page...but instead back viewing the exact same form. HELP!

How do I do the PDF View Previous if the PDF is opening in a browser window in IE?

Cannot view PDFs with Reader (11.0.06) on Safari

Hi there,
For some reason I can't view PDFs in Safari. I just updated my Adobe Reader to version 11 because I went to look at a file on a website and got this screen (below) instead of the actual file. I've already tried moving and trashing the plug-ins in my "/Library/Internet Plug-ins" folder and there's nothing that says PDF in my "~/Library/Internet Plug-ins" folder.
Any advice for fixing this is much appreciated.
I'm operating on a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and using Safari 5.1.10.

Hi Mike,
As I said above, I've already tried moving and deleting both of those files. I had a proper install and I'm aware of the correct Library folder, but some posts related to this problem said to check your user library folder, too, so I did. The user library folder had nothing related in it, but the correct Library folder had both plug-in files.
To be clearer,
First, I tried moving one and both of them to a new sub folder (as one post suggested) in Library called "Internet Plug-ins Disabled" which did not work,
Next, I tried deleting one and keeping the other and vice versa,
And finally, I tried moving both to the trash and completely deleting both plug-ins but that hasn't worked and I keep getting the same screen as I posted before.

Viewing pdfs with Quick Look is too small in Lion?

I tried to search for this everywhere and I didn't see much input.
I'm a grad student in the biomedical sciences. I need to keep a large library of pdfs for my work and one of the best things about switching to a mac was being able to use quick look to quickly browse pdfs instead of having to open tons of files just to find what I need. Often I'll be looking for specific information and in Snow Leopard I could read an entire pdf article using quicklook because the pdf filled the screen.
In Lion quick look doesn't make the pdfs large enough to actually read, except for the title of articles.
In Lion I can't zoom in pdfs and I can't seem to get the pdfs very big with quicklook no matter if I am in full screen mode or resize the window etc. I don't actually even understand why full screen is an option for previewing pdfs in Lion because it only makes them fractionally larger than they are in the regular viewing window...(on a 13inch MBP anyway)
Am I missing something?
I just upgraded to Lion with the 10.7.3 update btw and I have spent the past several days tweaking Lion to get it back just the way I want it. This feels like the final stumbling block...
I guess I was just wondering
a) is there anything I can do to remedy the situation besides simply getting used to opening the files in preview (which of course I do eventually anyway)
b) am I really the only one bothered by this? It seems really subpar compared to how quick look worked in Snow Leopard but after trolling the web for about an hour I've found scarcly any mention of the issue...
Thanks in advance for any input and if by any chance this bothers you as well please send apple feedback (which I just did).

Ok, I will send this comment also to Apple feedback.
I appreciate your efforts to point out possible solutions (which I tried out before posting here).
Despite the fact that they don't work here (font resolution is too poor to be readable when enlarged through the magnifier) I would still consider this issue a downgrade with respect to previous versions of OS X just because it would require more efforts to arrive at the same results compared to simply enlarging the window with one mouse/trackpad move. A lower screen resolution can definitely not be the preferred solution. I'm far from being blind and I enjoy my current screen resolution.
Dragging things into the preview app is not favorable either: I want to have a quicklook and don't want to bother actually opening lots of files at a time.

Open PDF with Flex Mobile Project

I want to be able to read PDFs inside a Flex Mobile Project (I'm working with Flash Builder 4.6 and Android and iPad).
I've tried successfully stagewebview to load a pdf from a web server with this:
webView = new StageWebView(); webView.loadURL("http://<url>/Paper.pdf"); webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 100,this.stage.stageWidth, this.stage.stageHeight); webView.stage = this.stage;
But what I really want it's something more visual. I mean, where you can create a flip book, go to page X, or similar. Something like this: http://devaldi.com/zine/NZ_Tourism_2007.php?ro=flash,html
I've already tried FlexPaper, but Zine doesn't work on Flex Mobile Project.
Do you know if there is something to do this? or how can I do this?
Is there any native-extension or something?
Thanks in advance

Thanks Keith, I'll have a look at that. In addition to opening a PDF, I want to be able to encode an anchor id in to the open command to jump a specific anchor; I'd concluded that on iOS, until Adobe add decent url-scheme support, that was a no go - so I've been staring down the barrel of converting the .pdf to HTML and tidying up the inevitable issues manually. Here's hoping Print2Flash will help avoid that!

Generating PDF with Flex App (swf) embedded

Hi,
Does anyone has the experience in developing a Flex Application that is to be
embedded into a PDF and open in the Reader/Acrobat for data capturing?
How to embed the Flex Application (swf) into a PDF in a Livecycle process?
With the XML data prepopulated into the PDF (embedded with a schema) and
accessible by the Flex Application when open in Reader/Acrobat.
Users will still be able to save the data filled in the Flex Application into the PDF
and also to generate a XML data (with data capturing in the Flex App) to be
submitted back to the server.
How can these be achieve? Any example?
Thanks alot.

Just wondering, am I in the correct section of the forum? it seems like most of the discussions listed here are related to form designing rather than form rendering.
I know this is FORMS ES section, just that i come across something that might related to the topic.
Has anyone try out Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES2 new features?
Based on Adobe Upgrade Center http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/upgrade/pdfgenerator.html, it mentioned that PDF Generator ES2 has the ability to embed SWF files in PDF.
But is this also applicable to Flex Application compiled SWF file?
Does the generated PDF function as a normal interactive form?
Able to retain its embedded schema and objects (scripts)?
I will try to install LC ES2 to try out but need sometime to setup the system, really appreciate if someone can give me a head start.
Thanks.

PDF with Flex/Flash not running on iPhone

Dear all
I have a pdf document including Flex content running perfectly in the Acrobat or Reader on Windows.
On the iPhone the Flex is not shown.
Is there any solution to this?
Many thanks

Flash has never been and never will be supported on the iPad. Furthermore, Adobe has withdrawn Flash support from other mobile devices so you're out of luck.

Problems viewing PDFs with form objects

I have a document I can't view correctly in Acrobat Reader XI. The document includes some form objects like radia buttons and check boxes. When I view the document in Adobe Reader, i only get square boxes. If I use Foxit Reader, I can se the objects normally. I have taken a screendump from the same PDF document, one using Acrobat Reader and the other using Foxit Reader. As you can see, there is a big difference.
The screendump above is from Adobe Reader XI
And this creendump is from Foxit Reader.
Why cant Acrobat display the form objects? It looks like a font problem. I have tried to install asian font pack. Is there any other font packs that could solve this problem?
Best regards
René

How were these forms created? I have seen (in this forum) similar cases when forms were created in some none-standard ways.
See if the attached test document shows correctly in Reader XI.

Viewing PDF with two-up mode

Hi,
I am trying to view a PDF in 2-up mode/view and the problem is that the odd pages are on teh right-hand side of the screen, which means i have to read from right to left rather than left to right.
I've tried various settings (show cover page) etc but can not get it to work as desired.
can anyone ofer any assistance?
Regards

If you could invest in Acrobat then you would have the ability to insert an extra page at the beginning, a blank page, and
then be able to read in the order you want.

Viewing PDF with JPEG 2000 embedded images

I tried a PDF file that contains a JPEG 2000 image embedded, but got a "Out of memory" error (on an iPad).
The size of the PDF is a A4 page scanned at 300 DPI.
It seems that all other PDF viewers on iOS 5 are able to display the same document !!!
Anybody having a similar result or being able to view such a type of file ?

Hi,
Do you mind sharing this PDF at [email protected]? We will surely investigate and get back to you.
Thanks & Regards,

How to view pdf with safari

I cant enlarge PDF files in Safari. Any plugins that address this?

Try using Preview in your Applications folder instead of Safari.

Zathura can't render pdf with mupdf backend

After the update to zathura 0.2.4-1 I can't longer view pdf with zathura and mupdf backend, I get the following error
error: could not load plugin /usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so (/usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so: undefined symbol: opj_stream_destroy)
error: unknown file type
the poppler backend works fine.

It appears that it was built linked against libraries that have since been changed. zathura 0.2.5-1 won't build at all anymore. Definitely a candidate for a bug report.
**EDIT**
It will build if mupdf doesn't have it's static libs stripped, but it does not solve the issue:
error: could not load plugin /usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so (/usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so: undefined symbol: opj_stream_destroy)
which I believe is part of openjpeg.
I posted in the zathura thread as mlq is active in the forums:
