Acrobat WebDav support for Url Scheme

[Jordan290115614r7r]

Hello,

Does Acrobat support any sort of url scheme like microsoft office to access files via a webdav server?

For example, <a href="ms-word:{uriMode}|u|{fileUrl}>Open File On Desktop</a> will open a file in microsoft word from a specific url.

Is anyone aware of any documentation that could provide insight into the acrobat webdav support mechanisms?

I can add random links like abc://domain.com/test and Acrobat will ask me what application to use to open this type of URL, so you may want to try ms-word:// type URL and see what happens. I am not aware of any documentation.

Thanks for your response Karl, but I am aware that ms-word will already work as a url scheme, but this will open Microsoft Word and the document from the provided url.

You can trigger adobe acrobat to open from a web url by using the following example:
<a href="acrobat:{fileUrl}>Open File With Adobe Acrobat</a>

This will trigger the browser to open acrobat, but acrobat makes no attempt to access the file at the url. I am looking for documentation to determine if the url scheme I am attempting expects additional parameters or if acrobat simply does not support opening a document from the web.

Ah, I see, it's the other way around. Sorry, I misunderstood. I am not aware of any way to force Acrobat to open PDF files that are linked on a web page. Browsers and PDF are a mess. Most browsers these days have their own PDF viewers, and you have to jump thorugh hoops to get the PDFs to open in Acrobat. Safari on Mac and Chrome are the exceptions: There is a browser extension that comes with Acrobat that allows you to open PDFs in Acrobat (first in the browser, but with a mouse-click in the external application).
