Bug w/ IEView and Acrobat Reader 6.0

[robinsiebler]

You can't use the Find pane Reader 6 from within IEView/Lister. After you type a few characters, the find pane closes. This doesn't happen when using Reader normally.

Probably it happens when you press "N" or "P".

In ieview.ini there is a section [hotkeys]

Code: Select all

[hotkeys]
; This section contains hotkeys that, when received by the IE window, will be sent to
; the Lister window. Lister hotkeys that are not in these lists will not work.
File=N;P;Ctrl+P;Esc;
Edit=Ctrl+C;Ctrl+A;

So if you have the hotkeys defined Ieview uses them for "Next" and "Previous" option as in standard Lister. Just remove them and it should work ok.

That fixed the problem. You, sir, are a genius!

Not me but the author of the plugin because he gave such a possibility
And some people here who mentioned about it here before

It seems that when you view a PDF file, Acrobat isn't unloaded after you exit Lister. I discovered that today, when I tried to eject a USB flash drive.

Unfortunately that's true. It also works this way in ActivePDFView Plugin.

I am aware of this issue with my ActivePDFView plugin.

After some thought I may have a strategy to solve the issue and will incorporate the results, if successful, in the next version.

If my code succeeds in unloading the DLL, then perhaps a user option to choose whether to unload would be appropriate. I personally don't care if Adobe remains in the processes list. It will get swapped out if the memory space it occupies is needed plus it is faster for Windows to swap it back in from the page file than to start it over... especially with later versions of the Reader, which are abysmally slow to load, even on my relatively robust workstation.

Sorry, I actually haven't looked at that yet, after all this time.

ActivePDFView works fine for me personally in every circumstance I have tried it (several different environments and PDF versions) so my attention been diverted to other, more "interesting", stuff.

Maybe in 2007 I'll update ActivePDFView for TC's "install plugin from archive" standard and at that time address the memory residence issue.

What would you want to happen?

Should ActivePDFView force the Adobe modules out of memory upon closing the PDF? That doesn't sound "safe" to me...

[tosbsas]

yeah, but that would be great (.-))

Hate that apps leave stuff in memory
