Hi, we are using lucene within a web application to search in a great number of PDF documents. The workflow is like this: A user enters a search term A list of search results is presented to the user. Each search result represents one PDF document and shows the user on which page the search term was found. Each of these pages is rep...
Hi all, I've been using Delphi and the Adobe Acrobat 9 API. I'm simply opening a PDF and printing it, followed by closing it without saving anything. I'm having an issue while opening some PDFs though. If the PDF is password protected the Open method displays Adobe's "Input password" prompt. My application is running in an automated fa...
Hello, I have some PDF documents which are being displayed in the browser, with some fields already being pre-populated from the database using iTextSharp (we are running Windows Server 2008, IIS 7, SQL Server 2008, and ASP.NET 2.0/2.5 with C#). Our clients need to be able to fill in the remaining fields and save the PDF to the server. ...
In PDF files it is quite easy to interact with form fields via the Javascript API. Is it possible to do this (specifically showing/hiding) to arbitrary elements on a page? Say, not just form fields, but text, graphical elements, embedded images... Is there an API to interact with those? If yes, how do I identify an object? ...
Hi, Need some advice on what course of action to take next. Have written an ASP.Net application. Part of the application deals with being able to view PDFs. The initial PDF viewed acts as an index to access other PDF documents. You click a link in the Index PDF and it jumps to another PDF file. Legal documents, agreements, etc. This s...
One of my co-workers is creating an FDF form in Acrobat. I made the mistake of coming up with an answer last time she got stuck, so I just got another fun question. :-) She wants the providers to have the Save As file name populated with first name, last name, and date from existing fields on the form. Is there a way to pass the desired...
I'm trying to use PDFTK to rotate pages in my PDF document. Executing something like the following should result in no changes to the page rotation: pdftk in.pdf cat 1N output out.pdf (This is rotating page 1 "north" or "0 degrees.") In some PDF test documents, it works as expected (meaning, no changes to the page occurs). However, o...
Comboboxes in Acrobat do not allow text alignment or multiple lines. So I need to be able to select from a drop down box and my choice populate two textboxes. ...
I need to convert PDF pages to TIF files from within my app (or using a console app we shell out to...) I've tried some 3rd party tools/apps, but just to load one of my pages, they can take literally an order of magnitude or more than Acrobat Reader on the complex graphics (blueprints originally created by AutoCAD). Are these kinds of ...
I am looking for options to download, Install and run a custom plugin/add-on(an exe or an installer) from my Flash Movie similar to how the connectnow does that? When we initiate the screen sharing for the first time, connectnow prompts us for mandatory add-in by showing the message "To use this application, you need the Adobe ConnectNo...
Hi everyone, I have a PDF form and I would like to send the IP address of the person that hits the submit button with the other values of the form. I am using Adobe Acrobat. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot!!! ...
The goal is for an Acrobat form to fill a date field ("MeetingDate") with Today's date when the user opens it. If the user saves the form as is and opens it a few days later, the old date should still be there, not replaced by the current date. If the user changes date in the field, that date should be saved and should not be replaced wh...
We use the Acrobat SDK (Interop.Acrobat.dll) to merge PDF's in a directory, and we want to alter the header to allow us to put a page number on each page once the merge has taken place. It's a long function, so I'm leaving only the important stuff... Function MergePDF(ByVal Path As String, ByVal outFileName As String, ByVal DeleteOrgin...
...Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Distiller. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but am desperate for help. Thanks, Leonard ...
Hi all, I am trying to count the number of times a string exists in a pdf file. I used the below code, but it is going in infinite loop. The problem is after finding the string after the last page,it comes back to 1st page and repeats all the steps again. Does anyone have a solution for this problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thank...
I have Acrobat Reader set as the default application for viewing PDFs. This is good because, as a tech writer, I want to see PDFs in the app most customers will use to view the PDFs I produce. But I also have Acrobat Pro 9 and sometimes I want to open a PDF in Pro to use some of the advanced features there. If I have Reader open, attemp...
Hi All, I have a bunch of PDF docs with tabular data in them which I need to extract into a more readable format to store in a spreadsheet, database or whatever. Is there anything out in the world (preferablly free) that is able to get tabluar data out of PDFs into a more readable format in bulk either natively integrated with an app o...
I have a field on a PDF form that could be too small for the contents it needs to hold. Since it is already nearly the size of the page, I need a way to tell adobe to let that field grow to cover more than a page. I haven't found any way to do this. LiveCycle seems to act like you can do it, but everything tried so far, does not do an...
When I use Acrobat Distiller (v.9.1.3), it seems that I cannot embed all fonts -- at least not in the way I want to (no subsetting). One example is Wingdings (TrueType). I activated the tickboxes and settings to "Always embed" and "No subsetting". If I check in a text editor the *.joboptions file that I saved as my custom Distiller prof...
I've seen various methods for generating thumbnails of PDF files in .NET, but unfortunately all of them require full version of Acrobat installed. Is there a way for getting them with free Adobe Reader or any other way? ...
