Viewing PDF within Web Browsers

Netscape Communicator - PDF files can be viewed in the Netscape Navigator 4.0 component of Netscape Communicator 4.0.


The following tools have been added to the Acrobat Toolbar displayed when viewing PDF files inside the Netscape Navigator window:

- A "copy" tool, which appears to the left of the "hand" tool; its icon shows two pages (a page and its copy)
- A "select text" tool, which appears to the right of the "zoom out" (magnifying glass minus) tool; its icon shows the letters "abc" in a selection box
- A "find" tool, which appears to the right of the "fit width" tool; its icon is a pair of binoculars
- A "find again" tool, which appears to the right of the "find" tool; its icon is a small pair of binoculars under a curved arrow

When viewing PDF documents within a browser window...

To copy text (for pasting elsewhere):
- click on the "select text" tool
- select the desired text
- click on the "copy" tool
- when you are done selecting text, click on the "hand" button to return to browsing

To find a text string
- click on the "find" tool
- enter the desired text in the Find dialog
- click on the Find dialog's "Find" button
or
- click on the "find again" tool to find another occurrence of the text
Note: Finding text may take a while if the PDF file must be retrieved from the Web server.  During the find operation the Find dialog's "Cancel" button will not function.  The find operation can be stopped using command-period or the escape key.

Select, Copy, Find, and Find Again must be done using the tools on the Acrobat toolbar.  The "Copy", "Select All", and "Find..." menu items on your browser's "Edit" menu will not invoke the corresponding command on PDF documents.

=============================================================================

Other Known Issues

Blank Pages in Web Browsers - Some pages of PDF files may appear blank when viewed within Web browsers.  This may occur if the PDF file is being served from an early versions of some Web servers (such as the Microsoft Internet Information Server version 2.0).  Users can view such PDF files by saving a copy locally.  Webmasters may need to update their server to the latest version (for more information see http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/byteserve.html ).

Documentation Errata - On page 7 of the Acrobat Reader 3.0 Online Guide (READER.PDF) in the "Opening PDF documents" section it says "The document author can set PDF documents to be opened in full- screen mode, without a toolbar, menu bar, or window controls. ...To override all the authorŐs document-opening settings, press Control+ Shift (Windows and UNIX) or Option+ Shift (Macintosh) when opening the file."  This capability to override all the authorŐs document-opening settings is available in Acrobat Exchange but is NOT available in Acrobat Reader.

Launching external applications / Security - PDF files may contain instructions to launch an external application or to open a non-PDF file.  To enhance the security of PDF files , in Acrobat Reader and Exchange version 3.01 will prompt users with an alert before launching an external application, an executable file or a command.  

The alert will say: "Acrobat is about to launch this application: " [Application] "Allow this action (OK) or all actions to all applications (all)?"  followed by three buttons, "OK", "Cancel", and "All".  
- Choosing "OK" will allow only this instance of this action.  
- Choosing "Cancel" will prevent this instance of this action.
- Choosing "All" will allow all instances of all actions, thus disabling the alert until Acrobat is exited and restarted.

GXGraphics extension and Printing - If the GXGraphics extension is on, Type 1 fonts will not print using LaserWriter 8.4.x unless the font is installed in the System's Fonts folder. [211792]

Movie / Netscape Navigator - If you try to play a movie in a floating window from a PDF file within Netscape, you'll hear the audio and when the movie is done playing, the rectangle where the video should have been playing will turn white.  [198949]

System Requirements - Acrobat 3.0 did not run on Macintosh System 7.0 or System 7.0.1.  Acrobat v. 3.01 should run on Macintosh System 7.0 or later.
