i want to use a button to copy an existing pdf page in the form itself. this works with javascript by spawning a page template. Unfortunately this does not work on apple devices.
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC
var a = this.getTemplate ("template");
a.spawn();
Works on Windows and not for ios
You can't. If you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader on iOS (or Android) the JavaScript to spawn pages isn't supported. I don't see that it's supported in PDF Expert by Readdle either. That functionality is only supported on Windows and macOS.
For the list of supported JavaScript on iOS, see the link below. It's a quick read; the list is very short.

I want to know how to find out which version of Flex is installed with Flash CS6 or do I have to install the SDK separately?
I know Adobe AIR 3.2 is installed on in the Flash CS6 program folder as I found the Adobe AIR 3.2 folder in the Flash CS6 program folder.
In Flash CS Preferences, if I click on the Actionscript 3 settings button it shows the Flex SDK path as:
$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/flex_sdk/4.0.0/
Does this mean that Flex 4 is installed on the computer? I ask this because I couldn't find a folder for Flex 4 SDK.
Also, if AIR 3.2 is installed, do I need Flex?
Can I achieve the same results with AIR 3.2 as I can with Flex?
I want to develop Flash applications that will allow the user to save and load data locally as a text file, create a line chart of that data and then save a screenshot of that chart from within Flash without using any other tool such as the Snipping Tool in Windows.
I did a lot of research on these subjects on different forums, including Stack Overflow, but just ended up more confused than I already was.
Flash is now Animate. It's like photoshop. Photoshop creates images in many forms. Flash/Animate is software that makes .swf, html5 canvas, AIR, Android apps, iOS apps, and more.
Flex is a Flash framework.
The reason you have to mess with the SDK is because you're using an old non-working version of Flash. If you use a working version of Animate, you don't have to install SDKs manually.
AIR is what you want to use. .swf was Flash applications for browsers/web pages. AIR is Flash applications for OSs. AIR creates .exe for desktop and native apps for phones.
With AIR you can make a word processor and image processor.
I am trying to develop an Apache Cordova Application with Visual Studio 2013 for Android, using Typescript. I am unable to display my PDF. My program begins by downloading the PDF file to the Android Device from a website. After this though, I am unaware as to how to use pdf.js to display the downloaded PDF. I tried looking at the examples and implementing them on a HTML file in IE, but I've been unsuccessful with all attempts to display any kind of PDF, so a sample that works, but not on Android is also appreciated.
so a sample that works, but not on Android is also appreciated.
The PDF js hello world : http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/learning/helloworld.html You can open it on android too.
I'm trying to write ppapi plugin for Chrome which will use webcam (show preview and write file). I have installed NaCl sdk with pepper_35.
There available examples in /examples/api/ folder: media_stream_audio and media_stream_video.
The audio example works fine - requests access to microphone and shows some kind of preview.
The "media_stream_video" example must show web-camera video preview, but when I load example on the local web server (with make serve command), there appears red rect, and Chrome asks for the web camera access. When I click “allow” - webcam indicator lights-up, chrome show that web page uses the web camera, and I see the camera settings icon. But the preview doesn't work, there still red rectangle instead.
I checked this on Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Mac OS X, with five different webcams, and have no idea what can be wrong.
Maybe someone already encountered with the same problem?
Installing the pepper_37(dev) version of NaCl SDK solved the problem. Looks like it is unstable version currently, but it works.
I am using PhoneGap InAppBrowser to load pdf in my app. It is loading pdf in IOS, but there is no location bar shown, and on Android pdf is never loaded.
Here is my code to load pdf
iabRef = window.open('sample.pdf', '_blank', 'location=yes');
Not sure if this counts as an answer, but I believe this is a known bug. It is marked as fixed in the 2.4.0 RC here.
Ran into the same with 2.4.0. I switched to using the _system browser in my open call. It's not ideal, as it opens a browser that simply downloads the file, but at least it works.
I'm completely new to AIR but what I'm trying to do feels like it should be quite easy.
I want my AIR app to execute (launch) an SWF in the standalone Flash Player (just like if I were to double click it).
Please note that I don't want the AIR app to embed the SWF. Just run it.
Can this be done?
Using Adobe AIR, you could launch / load the SWF into a separate native window. It would run in the same process as the AIR app loading / launching it, but the experience would be the similar if not the same for the end user.

The AIR-Runtime is (still) not able to launch external Applications, except Acrobat Reader for PDFs and the default Browser (you can let the browser display the swf).
I think you need some of this Frameworks:
FluorineFx Aperture
Merapi
What's the sense behind your plan, why AIR?
Thanks for the this, running it through a browser might be my solution then. FYI I'm using AIR to write some settings to a local text file that the SWF then can read.
Most people don't have the standalone player - only people with Flash installed, so this isn't a very good idea, I don't think. Could you open a new AIR window with just the swf in it?
