Where is documentation about Adobe Reader web-browser plugin API?

When Adobe Reader is chosen as plugin to open PDF's inside a web-browser it reacts to some javascript commands in the web page that hosts the <object> tag like "goToPage" or similar. I would like to know which other javascript commands (and events: something like "onPageChanged", for example) are available. Where can I find documentation?
Thanks

Microsoft hasn't updated its Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox for a while, so 3-year-old documentation may be current. I recommend using MSDN as a resource, and particularly articles indicating which features work in Firefox.
You also can work out development issues on a forum more focused on that, the unofficial [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 mozillaZine Web Development board]. It's a separate site (with separate registration).

Adobe reader android browser plugin

Why does adobe reader not allow the mime type application/pdf in an object tag to work in a web page? Instead it wants to download the pdf instead of viewing it in the browser like your desktop application. All you have to do is write a library .so file for the arm processor and include it in your adobe reader app. Then register the plug. The browser would see the mime type and look it up then run your library to interpret the data and display it in the object tag on the browser.

You must have used some file that was created with that program. It is completely unnecessary for Safari or Firefox. If you have installed Adobe Reader, it should have put a plug-in into your Internet plug-ins. Find a pdf file in Finder, then select it, then right click, get info. In the window, make sure that the pdf file opens with Adobe Reader, then click on Change All. It tells the Mac to handle all pdf files with Adobe Reader, and IF you have the plug-in, you should be able to read it.

Please let me know which version of Adobe Reader is installed on the system? You can check the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader from within the Reader application.
Also, could you try and repair the application from within the Control Panel > Programs and Features.

No "About Adobe Reader" tab... How to check for updates?

How do we check the version of Adobe Reader installed on an Android 4.3+ device? Especially, how do we check that all security patches have been installed? There is no (apparent) "About Adobe Reader" tab.

Hi,
There's "About Adobe Reader" page which tells you the App version. The page comes by "Select help tab", press the hardware Menu button (or select the action bar overflow button on top right) and then select "About Adobe Reader".
For the various new features in Reader and other Help related stuff, you can go to the "Help" tab and find various options there.
Please let us know if there are any issues.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

How to develop a web browser using API javatv?

How to develop a web browser using API javatv?
I'm tryin' to build a web browser using the API javaTv and
I want to know if that is possible and if somebody already made this.
This web browser will run a page developed in jsp.
Thanks.

You don't need JavaTV to write a web browser.
Whichever Java platform you're using with JavaTV should provide enough.

Adobe Reader in browser window disappearing-need help

I have created a word document (WD1) containing links to other word documents (WD2, WD3, etc). I then turned WD1 into a .pdf file. I then upload this .pdf file to a web page. I go to this webpage and click the link to open the WD1.pdf file. When I click the WD1.pdf link on the webpage, a new browser window opens with Adobe reader in it displaying WD1.pdf. so far so good. Now when I click on the links to WD2 or WD3, these links open in Word and the correct files display, but the browser window containing WD1.pdf file disappears (thats the best way to describe it) and the first webpage is still open.
What I am trying to achieve is to have the second browser window stay open so the trainees using this web page will be able to click on the other references on the .pdf to get to all of the links without having to re-open it each time.
I have Researched in help and web forums, the only reference I can find is to uncheck the box next to Open cross-documents in the same window in preferences in Adobe. Which I have done and restarted my computer. I also noticed a preference show each document in its own window which is checked.
Here is the other rub, I have a desktop computer (OS is XP) and a laptop (OS is vista). I have Adobe 8.1.2 installed on both. The laptop with vista works the way I would like. But the desktop computer with XP does not. I did have Adobe 7.0.9 on the desktop but when it did do what I wanted I upgraded to 8.1.2 and it still isnt working. The real problem is that most of the trainees will be using their work computers with XP. I dont know even know if there is any significance in this observation or not. But thought I would throw it out there.
Does anyone have any suggestions of things I could try or know of any solutions? Please help.

There is a technology on Labs called BrowserLab that is designed to assist with browser compatibility. Is this question regarding BrowserLab or is the question more general?

Adobe Reader "Link in plugin browser"

Hello,
I view a PDF in the browser Internet Explorer.
This pdf contains a number of links.
Each of these links opens a pdf document, other than that of departure, to a certain page in the same browser window.
Instead of positioning the page indicated, the document is opened to the first page.
The method used for opening the pdf to a specific page is the following:
I tried several solutions, including javascript, with the same result.
May depend on what?
Greetings and Thank you.

Yes you can link to the official download page for Adobe Reader, see the below link for Adobe's rules on logo usage:

You cannot host the installer package on your own website.

Open about:config on web browser

I would like to open the advanced configuration on my web browser for Firefox OS. I have tried typing about:config into the Awesome bar, and then either keying 'enter' or using the Go arrow, to no result.
The following answer seems to imply that this is possible in Firefox for Android:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/960501#answer-440285

The about:config "page" definitely exists in both desktop and Android versions of Firefox. However, when I search for about:config in the Firefox OS source code site, I don't find anything but a single comment. It sounds as though that particular page is not used on Firefox OS. Maybe there's a new name for it?

Need To Open Adobe Reader Outside Browser (Firefox) On Mac Machine

Hello,
I would like to set up my Adobe Reader / Firefox to open a PDF outside of the web browser when using Firefox. What settings in the Preferences of Reader need to be set and what items need to be set in Firefox to do so? Thank you very much.

From what you originally described, the problem is symptomatic of having removed the main Adobe application while still leaving the Adobe browser plugin in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/'. Perhaps trashing the plugin from said folder and then reinstalling the software would rectify the issue.
Have you tried trashing Adobe Reader's preference list (.plist), located in '~/Library/Preferences/' or creating a test user account (System Preferences > Accounts > [+]) to investigate the problem further?

About install netscape6 web browser

Hi,fine:
I already install netscape 6 on my solaris 7 for x86 system.But
I open web browser appear "hot java"browser through CDE environment.
Now I hope my web browser is netscape 6 browser .Please tell me
how to to it.
Thank again.

Make sure the command "netscape" can be found in your $PATH.
When you click on the "Web-Browser" icon, CDE runs the shell
script /usr/dt/bin/sdtwebclient to start the web browser. This
script searches your $PATH for the commands "netscape", "sdthotjava"
and "hotjave". The scripts starts the first one it finds.
