Web overlay/PDF viewer

Hi all,
When I open a pdf in the Adobe Content Viewer, the only option I have is a button "Done". Is it possible to customize this? For example adding a mail button?
Many thanks in advance!
Gr,
Nick

Small update: I've updated the Adobe Content Viewer and now I see that there's also a menu bar at the bottom when I open a pdf. But when tap on the refresh icon in the menu bar at the bottom, the pdf disappears.
Is this a bug?

Nick

Is it possible to create a rendition targeted for the web based content viewer?

The way PDFs render in the web broswer is (presently) pretty bad.
Can we create a rendition of a Folio which is specifically (and only) for the purpose of being viewed in the web based content viewer?
Also can we leverage the downloading options in the Folio Producer to yield better results and less lags in rendering? I would like to suggest that Adobe adds some kind of indicator/status-bar which shows remiaing assets still being downloaded. For example, video overlays aren't immediately available.
Despite these quirks, this new capability is huge and we really appreciate it!

It's too bad the selectable text will go away. This will also hamper the web-based views in terms of accessability, correct? - something very important to our stake holders.
Does Adobe plan to bring these good points of the PDF format back in a future release?
Thanks for your consistently fast replies Bob!

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Looking for a stylish pdf viewer to integrate into muse site. Any suggestions?

Dear all,
I am looking for a stylish pdf viewer that i could integrate into a muse theme. I am after something that will give a similar effect to the page below.
http://adoreum.com/magazine/
Any suggestions would be most welcome. I have heard that it is possible to do this using InDesign, is this a red herring???
Many thanks in advance,
Martin

No. Not for PDF viewing. Most people will view PDFs either through an Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat web browser plug-in or via web browsers that have built in PDF viewers such as Google Chrome.
What you're seeing on sites like the web site link you posted is a conversion of the PDF to another format in a "flip book" layout, a format that doesn't require the site visitor to install any plug-ins. The flip book would either be in Flash format for desktop computer browsers or HTML5 for both web browser and mobile device compatibility.
One example is Flipgorilla: http://blog.flipgorilla.com/
It's a free PDF to HTML5 flip book creator. They even have a Wordpress plug-in. But I'm not sure how friendly its code would be to a Muse-based web site.

I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
            "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
- I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
- in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.
If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.

Did you check what I would consider the first place to look:

If the site is still down (at least 12 hours) when you read this try [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Google's cache]

How to add a hand tool (grab the page and drag) function on Chrome and firefox pdf viewer?

To clarify, hand tool is a function for user click on the pdf and dragging around , that is used to replace the scroll bar navigating .
The problem is, by default the Chrome and firefox pdf viewer do not have that function and I would like allow the user to drag the page.
A workaround is to use a jquery plugin (grab to pan https://github.com/Rob--W/grab-to-pan.js in my case) with an embed object (pdf viewer). When I maximum the size of the pdf and user drag the embed object.
The problem I have encounter is
1) When using chrome/ firefox, the pdf content do not fit to the page but auto resize by default even I have set the adobe pdf open parameter , using iframe.
2) The jquery seems conflict with the firefox pdf viewer, it works smoothly on Chrome but not firefox.
Here is the source code, you may download the plugin from the link mention above and have a look. Don't forget to put a '1.pdf' along with the source file. Thanks

How to make firefox open a URL in a PDF document which is loaded using Adobe PDF viewer in firefox to always in a new browser window ?

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF viewer.
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new firefox browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

X Pro and Flash Player Error with web-based PDF readbook

Everytime I try to view a web-based PDF book (with multiple PDF files) I get an error/alert that reads:
"To View the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat."
I am currently using:
IE Explorer 9.0.8112.16421
Adobe Reader X 10.1.7
Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.4
Shockwave 12.0.2 Development
I have all of the appropriate settings enabled/disabled in the browser. Before I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro the files opened perfectly in IE9. I believe, but am unsure, that I was just using Reader X at that point.
Of note...the PDF books in question still open perfectly if I DOWNLOAD the file and open it from the desktop. The issue is when I try to view it in the browser(a setting enabled in the preferences). This is an issue because I don't have the time or space to download these files and need to view them in the browser for efficiency.

You would usually get this message if you don't have the Flash Player plugin installed. However I do not quite understand why you get that message when viewing a PDF in the browser, but not when viewing it from your local disk.

Firefox pdf viewer garbles embedded text on some of our pdfs (on Mac OS Mavericks). They're fine in Safari or when downloaded. This is a major problem.

Firefox pdf viewer messes up text on pdfs and makes them unreadable. These fonts are embedded, so there shouldn't be a problem. The pdfs are fine when viewed in Safari or Chrome browsers. Also fine when viewed through Acrobat. Telling me to change my default browser isn't good enough. Visitors to our web site won't know this.

The latest stable and latest development versions of the built-in PDF viewer are available as an extension and these version can possibly perform better than the version shipped with the current Firefox release.
Latest development version of the PDF Viewer (pdfjs) extension:
*http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi
Latest stable version of the PDF Viewer (pdfjs) extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/

In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

PDF Viewer in SharePoint 2013

Hi everyone,
I have a document library containing multiple PDF files. When user clicks a document, the file opens in a pdf viewer installed in the local machine. But in our case, we want to open pdf files online in a browser for view only. Is there any webpart available
to open PDFs online?
Please share your experiences or suggest a workaround.
Thanks
-Ahmed Khan

Hi Ahmed,
Your web application's Browser File Handling setting has been set to "Strict". This setting when set to "Strict" will force the PDF file to download/open in the client application.
To open PDF file in a browser make the following changes:
Open your Central Admin 2013 > Application Management > Manage Web Application > Select your Web Application > Click on General Settings > Browser File Handling > Select "Permissive" > Click OK and you are
done.
Now Open your document library, click on Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Open Documents in the Browser > Tick the option "Open in Browser" > Click Ok. (This option is not required actually if you do the above for PDF files but
can be considered for Office Documents)
Now go back to your library and open any PDF file.

How to Publish on the Web a PDF document in Reading mode only

Hello,
I'm planning to post on my web site my manuscript in PDF format. I would like to make it available in a reading mode only.. I wonder if ADOBE LIVECYCLE Rights Management would allow me to do so in a safe manner. What would be the cost?
Thanks.

PDF Viewer component that works in NetBeans VWP

Hi All,
I am looking for a PDF Viewer Component that will work with NetBeans VWP. Ideally, this would be something that I could load into the Pallette and drop on a web form for use, then dynamically call up a document for display within the control. (Actually, IDEALLY, this would be a multi-document viewer, i.e. PDF's Word files, text files, etc.). It does not have to be a free tool - though free would be nice. I have checked out the Acrobat Viewer Java Bean but from everything I can find on that, it appears to be something that can be used in Java Apps, but not web apps. If I am wrong about this, can someone please correct me and link to web app usage (as applied to VWP - JSP & JSF).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I noticed a lot of references to IText on this forum and I'm in the process of checking it out now. But I have not seen anything on IText regarding an actual viewer component.
Thanks,
Dennis

I don't believe iText has a viewer as I know of. If Adobe has a java bean then you can create an applet for the client side to display the viewer.

PDF viewer bug/ v1.4.5

This is still not fixed. Try this- open a PDF, zoom in on an area and wait for the Pre to autooff. When you resume, the PDF viewer has crashed.. There is a spinning circle in the top right corner and if you enter a new page number, the total page count disappears.
Also, when are we going to get an app that uses the accelerometer? My Nokia and Samsung terminals rotate the screen when you move the phone.. maybe its me, but I don't consider this an option these days, it's basic functionally. Only the browser app works in panorama.. With PDFs and the tiny screen, you need to zoom and the extra width would really useful.
Finally, with a touch phone, you kind of expect to be able to swipe to the next page or back a page. Instead, you still have to hit an arrow..
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (Movistar)

To confirm, no this problem has not been fixed on WebOS 2.0, but that's because it's not a WebOS problem. All of the apps from WebOS 1.4 were merely ported for 2.0 for usability with the new version, so any bugs appearing in the 1.4 version are sure to show in the 2.0 version as well.
On a side note: it would also be possible for some bugs to appear in the 2.0 version that aren't in the 1.4 version, so perhaps Palm hasn't fixed the problem yet because they are trying to find a resolution that works for both versions.
P.S.: The accelerometer works on the following native apps: Web, Clock, Camera, Photos, Videos, Facebook, QuickOffice, and Help. I do agree, though, that there should be more use of it since the compass is being included in the Pre3. Why have such extras built into the phone if support for this hardware is not there? (Rhetorical question unless someone from Palm/HP cares to answer it)

Adobe PDF Viewer X in Safari 5 not displaying documents protected by HTTP Authentication

I have the latest Adobe Reader X release (10.0.0) for Mac OS X 10.6 in Safari 5.0.3. The PDF Viewer is unable to display files hosted on directories protected by HTTP Authentication. The progress bar keeps spinning forever.
I've tried it on several Macs and various Apache web servers, with both Basic and Digest Authentification.
Adobe PDF Viewer running on Mac OS X 10.5 doesn't have this problem. Adobe PDF Viewer X running on Windows XP with Safari 5 doesn't either. So it is specific to the latest release for Mac OS X 10.6.
Any idea for a fix? I can't revert to a previous version of Reader since the older plug-in doesn't run in 64-bit Safari (the default on Snow Leopard) - please don't tell me to force Safari to run in 32-bit mode.
Is it at least a known bug that will be fixed soon?

You mean disabling HTTP Authentication? Yes, of course. And it works without it. That's how I know that the cause of the problem is HTTP Authentication.
