Open a PDF to Specfic Page - two PDF files on a Windows desktop

Geniuses assembled:

I have a project with the following requirements.

1. the main document is a great memory that contains more than 700 references, stored on a desktop Windows.

2. There are has about 300 documents target, many of them confidential, all PDFs stored in the same folder.

3. the main document contains several references to each target document.

4. the product obtained will be sent to who knows how very demanding and not necessarily tech savvy lawyers.

5. the desired behavior:

The user clicks on a link in the main document and the target document opens in a new window to a specific page.

#1 & #2 conditions excluded the use of tricks to open-to-a-specfic-page on the web.

Condition #3 opposes set the preference of opening the target documents because I need at least 1000 documents as targets.

I managed to reproduce the desired behavior, but it has been achieved by a function of trust at the level of the folders, but this solution cannot be implemented due to the Condition #4.

I know it's possible because we receive a provider of PDF files that displays the desired behavior.

Apparently the seller performed this miracle with a Custom Action called "go to a page in another document".

"Go to a page in another document" Action has three steps:

1 file: [full path name of the file (not independent of the device)]

2 page: [pagenumber]

3. percentage of zoom: Inherit Zoom

It works like a charm.

The question that I would really like to have answered is:

How did they associate this custom action with the drop of the Connector tool?

When I create an action it is only available in the main Actions tab, so I'm jealous.

I think that they must have some tools to fancy that I am not, only makes me more jealous.

Here is a screenshot of the Action "go to a page in another document".

It is all a part of Acrobat...

Create a new connection object.

In the window that opens select "Go to a page view" action and click Next.

A floating window appears with the Set"" button.

Now open the other file you want to link to and highlight the desired

location.

Click on the button "link", and you're done.

Use view > show/hide > navigation components > layers to show the layers pane. I clicked on 'the eye' off to the relevant pages, and the marks have disappeared.

  • How to open a PDF file to a specific number of page in Safari 8.0?

    I use the command #page = 33 to try to force Safari to open a PDF file to a specific page number. While this works very well on almost all Web browsers, it doesn't seem to work in Safari. What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!

    The problem is probably with the PDF of Safari plugin, which does not correctly open settings. To be fair, however, is not a part of the PDF ISO specification, but something that Adobe put up on their own in their PDF plugins, so that other applications are not obliged to follow.

    If you switch to using software Macromedia so it should work, even in Safari.

    Under Edit - Prefs. - Documents check the box that says "Restore last display settings when reopening documents." Hide the Pages panel manually, and the next time that you open the file it should have disappeared.

  • Disabling of processing Pages when you open a PDF file

    I have Acrobat X and recently when I open some PDF files from my hard drive or a website it starts pages, treatment which is annoying and takes forever. I think it started after installing Adobe Air but I removed that program and it always does. Does anyone know how to disable this? Here is a screenshot of the treatment. Thank you!

    Processing.jpg

    In your Acrobat preferences, disable accessibility - but actually, after checking, I think that it is some of these reading order options. It's been a while since I've seen comments on this process and give me an answer to the best of my memory.

  • I ve just to open a PDF file in Word format, but I can't use it properly. The document is unformated...

    I ve just to open a PDF file in Word format, but I can't use it properly. The document is unformated...

    The conversion to WORD (if you converted before you opened in WORD, because WORD does not open PDF files to my knowledge) is a luck of the draw. Two options are generally available, to keep the page layout and to maintain the flow of the text. The provision creates a bunch of text boxes in WORD with your information. The stream format does not text boxes. If the PDF file has been create from WORD with all tags (using PDF Maker), then the conversion can be almost flawless. If it was printed to PDF format or the markup turned off, then you are function Acrobat (or export) try to interpret what is necessary and the results is often not great. An article that almost never comes out right are equations.

    If you scanned the document, then you have an OCR option, but don't expect great things. You must always keep the originals of your documents. Reverse engineering function, a PDF to WORD is a dangerous practice.

  • Why does firefox open a non-stop tab string when I try to open a PDF file?

    I don't know if it's a coincidence, but right after that I installed the latest version of Adobe flash player, firefox now opens a string with no end of new tabs, whenever I try to open a PDF file. I have to close the window and start over.

    Help?

    the machine is a HP Elitebook 8540w. Windows 7 64-bit.

    You have configured Firefox to use the Adobe Acrobat plugin? It seems that he may be missing or disabled, because it does not appear in your "more details of the system" (next to your message). You can see the page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Then on the right, look for Adobe Acrobat. It may be down on a gray background.

    If you don't have it: Make sure that this isn't your favorite here player:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > Applications

    You can type or paste pdf in the search box at the top of the list after loading to filter.

    If you have it, but it cannot be activated using 'Always enable' or "Ask to activate": You may need to update. I recommend using the help inside your product Adobe (Reader or Acrobat) menu to check the updates.

    Any progress?

  • To open a Pdf file on the second monitor

    Original title: two monitors and open files
    Hello!!

    I have now two monitors on my desktop and I want to know how I can open a PDF on the second monitor, and keep all my PDFs on the first monitor? I want to simply click in the file - on the first monitor - and the file opens automatically on the second monitor.

    Thank you

    M. Vilela

    Hello

    Try these steps and check if you are able to open the PDF file on the second monitor...
    a. open a PDF file. Now, UN-maximize the file.
    (b) move it to the other monitor.
    c. now, close the document without maximizing it on the new monitor.

    d. now attempt to open a PDF file.
    e. it should open on the second monitor.
    f. maximise, close the vial.
    g. now opens a new PDF on the new monitor, and it will be maximized when opened.

    Adobe will remember whether or not a document has been expanded and open PDF one another in the same way, but it will update the monitor to use when a document is closed so that not maximized.

  • Open a PDF file of runtime android application

    Hello

    I try to open a PDF file of my Android app on a phone BB10 Z10 (10.2.1).

    He intended me to use 'File Viewer' with adobereader logo, but nothing happen when I click on it.

    I tried to put files on different storage and directory, but I have the same problem with no error:

    Public warehousing

    public static String getDefaultPath() {
            return Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).getAbsolutePath()+"/";
    }
    

    And internal storage:

    public static String getDefaultPath() {
            return context.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath()+"/";
    }
    

    Here is my code to open the pdf file, it works fine on Android:

    File file = new File(path);
    if (file.exists()) {
    
        try {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Trying to open " +path+" => "+ file.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
            Uri fileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            i.setData(fileUri);
            i.setType("application/pdf");
             i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            context.startActivity(i);
    
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Logger.getInstance().LogException(e);
            Toast.makeText(context, "Unable to pen file..." + e.getMessage() + " " + e.getClass().getName(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
        }
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(context, "File not found..." + file.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
    }
    

    I do not see my camera in DDMS, there is nothing, how can I debug to check if the system returns me an error when I try to open the pdf?

    Thanks for your help!

    Best,

    Ricken

    I solved my problem.

    There were actually two problems, the first is I have to use public storage for adobereader is able to access my pdf file, so I solved it by copying pdf to dir public cache before opening it and then I can keep all other protected files.

    The other problem is rather strange and seems to be a bug, I replaced:

    i.setData(fileUri);
    i.setType("application/pdf");
    i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    

    with a little:

    i.setDataAndType(fileUri, "application/pdf");
    

    And now the pdf file is successfully opened by adobereader
