Reader cannot add a view because that changes the PDF file in a way that Reader isn't permitted to do. However, as a work around, you can add a comment to the 3D annotation which will create a view that's associated with the comment. ... View more

We'll need more details. However, it's likely that the appearances for the field already exist and all you need to do is set the value of the field to what it wants for "checked", the default being "Yes" if Acrobat was used as the form authoring tool. ... View more

Sergey: You can license the Adobe PDF Library from Datalogics, Adobe's partner, and run it on a server. It doesn't give you the same exact preflight capabilities as Acrobat but you can use it to verify conformance with PDF/A-1a and manipulate the PDF in other ways. Check out the URL below for more information and request an evaluation. http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/ ... View more

If I were approaching this problem, I'd store the presets in a PDF using form fields or a JSON string in a single form field. Acrobat Javascript makes it easy to open, extract information from, modify, and save PDF. It's not quite so simple with other file types. J- ... View more

Do you want to do this on the desktop using Acrobat as the runtime? If so, you'd need to write a plugin and as long as the process is triggered by a user, there should be no licensing issues. If you want the conversion to happen on the server or otherwise automated, you won't be able to use Acrobat because it's not licensed that way. In that case, you'd want to use something like the Datalogics PDF Java Toolkit. I have a blog post about creating 3D PDF at the URL below. The Datalogics PDF Java Toolkit is Adobe technology licensed and sold by Datalogics. You could optionally use the Adobe PDF Library, also available through Datalogics but the code may be a bit more complicated. http://blogs.datalogics.com/2016/01/27/creating-3d-pdf-files-using-the-datalogics-pdf-java-toolkit/ J- ...

Well - Your question didn't have that context so I didn't test it inside a loop. However, after reading the post at the link, rather than using a timeOut, you might try testing for the existence of the document object at 100 millisecond intervals and when it comes back as null, you know it was closed. Then move on to the next file. ... View more

For fields, you can add a script to "On Focus" and "On Blur" that would set a variable to the name of the field in question. When the focus event triggers, you'd know that field is active. For annotations, you can use... this.selectedAnnots ... to get an array of Annotation objects corresponding to all currently selected markup annotations. I don't recall any other objects that can be detected when selected or deselected. J- ... View more

Unfortunately, there is no way to embed a PDF inside an HTML page and have it behave consistently. You can't even have the PDF file be downloaded and run locally and expect that end users will have the same experience as the author. There are just too many PDF viewers available that don't implement the specification correctly or fully. Converting the PDF to HTML may give you a visual experience similar to the PDF but the interactivity won't survive the conversion. Sorry for the bad news. J- ... View more

Roman: Ok, then the time delay you're experiencing is the time that the layout is still loading. The ThreeView needs to wait to display after all of the files have been read by the navigator API but here's no callback to tell the layout when that's true. Instead, the startup code for TreeView checks to see if the number of files it has to deal with changes and it rechecks every 1/4 second. When the number of files stops changing, it displays. I suspect that this takes 16 tries on your machine, it might be less on a faster machine, more on a slower one. J- ... View more

I'd need access to the PDF in question to know for sure but the timing could be located in any number of places. It might be hard coded into the layout or it could be a property that is adjustable inside the .NAV file. J- ... View more
