This is problem that seems continuous to all my android devices (evo 3d, galaxy s2, and touchpad with schizoid) and I was wondering if anyone had a solution:
Is there any way to open up pdf files that are embedded in frames? Thanks
I have tried multiple browsers (chrome, dolphin, integrated android one) with no success.

I've never used schizoid only AOSP, but when I click on a link with a pdf file it's downloaded, then I use an Adobe reader to read them.
Hope this helps.
It is only terrible websites that have PDF files in frames. like this:
ugh unable to post link to it: if one searches on google "pdf in frame" it is the first link.
I wouldn't care about 1990's web design except one website I really need access to won't load!
Thanks!

I see what you mean, ugh.
Maybe this link will help : http://drupal.org/node/
From the little I read, it seems Firefox has a plug in for this. Take a look at it, maybe that will be your solution.
Good luck.

Drupal is a content management system which allows you to create and maintain many different types of websites without needing to know any coding languages.
The following pages provide some general information about the Drupal project and its underlying concepts and technologies.

Displaying PDF in frame
Posted by steve22 on September 20, 2006 at 5:21pm
I have all the pdf files in one folder www.mysite.com/images/ . Is it possible that via some php script whenever user access those pdf files either directly or through google, it is opened inside a frame (with my website's logo, menu etc as the top banner above the pdf) instead of opening directly as pdf file?

Opening PDFs inside browsers
Posted by styro on September 20, 2006 at 8:43pm
is a browser plugin thing at the client, the webmaster can't control that. Some PDF readers or OSes don't include browser plugins for PDFs, and always handle PDFs as downloads. Some paranoid users (after all Acrobat Reader has some security issues apparently) might switch off PDF browser plugins.
As for opening in a frame, you couldn't do that with a link directly to the PDF (eg public downloads). With private downloads you might be able to add to the system (?) module to change the download pages to use frames somehow - but IMO it would be a lot of pain for very little (if any) benefit.

With Firefox on Android you can install the PDF Viewer as an addon. This is the viewer that now ships with the desktop version. I've used it before to view PDFs in the browser, its not as smooth as Adobe, but will probably work for you:

Hi Guys
Is there an app/browser that allows us to
1) Schedule a daily login into a website
1) download defined levels of the site and save the pages onto the sd card.
3) view the offline pages in a mobile layout
I'm trying to read a newspaper page that I've subscribed to offline on my phone.
I've tried opera mini but it only saves the page i am viewing and does not dig down several layers ahead. Defeats the purpose, as if i can see it, i'll just read it.
Thanks
i would like to know for something like that
Quadriple that.

I'm guessing this newspaper doesn't have an RSS feed? Cause that would be too easy...
If the paper has an RSS feed, then you could use Newsrob to automatically download the feed and download all the pages as well.
+100000 on that.
There is plenty of applications for regular Windows, but so far no luck finding one for windows Mobile.
Thx
All,
Has anyone found an app that will work on the ViewSonic G-Tablet that will allow me to fill in PDF forms?
I have a number of forms I've created for work that allow me to document changes to our network (HIPAA requirement). and I was hoping to use my G-tablet to carry with me to fill in the forms instead of my laptop.
The forms have required fields, Check Boxes, as well as Drop Down lists.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Adobe's Acrobat Reader should work. It's available free at adobe.com (I'm running the new version X on my gTab, Vegan ß3 - Haven't tried PDF fields yet, but everything else works great).
You will need to "rights enable" your PDF in Acrobat Professional if you want to save your filled form or post your data online to a backend server. Acrobat Pro is also needed to create the fields in the first place. There may be other software available that can do that as well, but none for Android AFAIK.
If you can use a regular PC to create the forms, you could also look at OpenOffice.
Check out this blog entry on PDF form creating with OpenOffice :
(can't post links, so you will have to paste it)
danilop.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/how-to-create-pdf-forms-with-openoffice/
I haven't used OpenOffice before, but it sounds like a good suggestion.
Only issue I'm having right now is accessing their webpage from my G-Tablet. Everytime I try to connect, I get an FC and then it hangs the Tablet. (Running (TnT Lite 2.2.1) I'll keep playing with it and post my results.
Any other suggestions are welcome! ;-)

After trying many PDF viewing apps on my Froyo'd Nook, I have still not found one that supports (well) the embedded links or a novel navigation scheme allowing me to get back to the TOC easily.
Im curious... what are you using?
is there a way to do "article view" in DL'ed pdf magazines
Went ahead and tried pretty much every free pdf viewer in the market. Doesn't seem like any of them I tried let me follow the hyperlink.
However. I did find that uploading the pdf to google docs and then viewing it through a web browser like Dolphin HD allowed me to follow the hyperlinks... Not the best option, by any means.
Possibly one of the paid office suites allows hyperlinks. I'd email the developers to make sure before buying since you only get 15 min to return.
Found one: BeamReader PDF Viewer will follow hyperlinks. Go to the market and download the 10 day free trial first before purchasing. Looks like it costs $10 for full version.
Also: Reading the description for ezPDF Reader (only $0.99), says "links" under features. I'm guessing this will allow you to follow links.
Please report back if you try it. I'm interested in knowing if it works. Thanks
I've heard good things about RepliGo. You can see it in action in the video on the cerience.com website (/products/reader/android). The forum won't let me post the complete link.
If you try it, please reply back with your thoughts as I haven't tried it yet.

I am using ezPDF and am impressed, has TOC and functional hyperlinks. This was the dealbreaking feature for me since I was used to goodReader on the ipad - this is almost as good. Any specific questions - jusk ask!
I've tried every one I could find because I'm using my NC to display words to songs during my live performances instead of using the MS Access database I used to use. I've found for my purposes the RepliGo Reader works best for me. Bookmarks seem to work well, you can zoom a page and when you go to next page it remembers zoom level. It is not free but for what it does I really like it.
Is there an app for the Xoom that lets you fill in forms? Adobe Reader doesn't allow it
I can't really give you a positive response but the following three programs don't allow filling an Adobe 9 form either:
Documents To Go (paid)
Picsel Smart Office (paid)
Quick Office HD (incl w/ Xoom)
Did you try a market search?
yup.. i did, thanks for the heads up though!
Repligo does what you need.
Repligo is the only .PDF reader that also allows you to draw/write free hand in a file that I found after searching for 5 days. I purchased it ($4.99) and figured it would be worth it because now I can take digital contracts to all clients and have them signed and copies emailed to them in minutes. If you search youtube for Repligo you will also see a full video explanation of the features.

Free hand is not exactly the same as filling out forms but it's a start. Thanks for the info! Hopefully companies will discover the value of the android tablet market soon.

I don't want to point out the obvious but if you have a scanner and printer then print the page outfill it in and scan it back to the computer... I think you could also print the page and scan it back in the computer under a different format so you could type it then do what you got to do
Think of PDF forms as being in the same space as HTML forms. You have discrete fields with the ability to have logic and calculations in Adobe's version of javascript. Handwriting over it or printing out negates the whole point of making it an Acrobat form.
I was told that the Adobe app supported forms but I have not tried it, so the person I was talking with was probably mistaken. I think Adobe themselves would be the most likely to support form elements in a standalone manner (i.e. not using the Acrobat Forms Server, or whatever they call it now).
thanks for all the replies. i wanted to use my xoom for work and have clients fill out forms via the PDF.

thanks for the heads up. Tried to update but wouldn't let me and throw an error that it needed attention after downloading 100% and trying to install. I then deleted previous version first and successfully installed new one.
I've heard there are performance improvements.
Performance is still awful. I can't remember if it used to be worse, but it still has a ways to go before it's any good...
Why would microsoft lock in PDF support to Adobe who clearly cares little for WP7? There could be a number of apps already better than adobe if if were allowed...
I haven't noticed performance issues but its definitely an improvement overall.
