Is there any setting for printing silently with Adobe Reader? I want to print pdf without print dialog box in chrome?
You can't... at least not with Adobe Reader.
First, Chrome no longer supports the Adobe Reader for displaying PDF so the PDF will either open in the built-in Chrome viewer or will download and open in Adobe Reader depending on your settings.
Second, the JavaScript methods to control printing from Adobe Reader are privileged functions that require user permission to execute.
You can get around these limitations but it requires that the recipient of the PDF establish trust with either a digital certificate that you sign the PDF with or trust your domain. But in all cases, the user must opt-in before printing will execute silently... so... it's not exactly silent.

Trying to embed a pdf on my website like so:
<iframe src="filename.pdf" type='application/pdf' frameborder="0"></iframe>
The website is a rails site, and currently I'm only running it on a local server.
The problem is that the pdfs render with a toolbar on top and a sidebar with my adobe creative cloud account information, as seen in the picture below (the actual content of the pdf displays in the white box under the toolbar and to the left of the sidebar)
How can I get the pdf to render alone, without the menu and sidebar?
If you allow the browser to choose how the PDF gets rendered, you're never going to be able to create a consistent experience for your users unless you are in a controlled desktop environment.
If you are looking for a consistent experience, use pdf.js to render the PDF in the browser.
If you are in a controlled environment and all of your users have a browser/viewer combination that will let the browser show PDF using the Adobe Reader plugin (as your screen shot shows) then you can use the "open parameters" at the end of the URL to control what gets shown. See the documentation at the link below.

That said, don't count on that solution to work for very long. Most modern browsers are not allowing the viewer plugins to function anymore and the rest are moving in that direction.

I think it's better use some kind of JS stuff just in case of cross-browser issues, like related into first link. Solutions like https://pdfobject.com/ it's helpful to get the job done. Look:
PDFObject 2.0 detects browser support for inline/embedded PDFs. (In
case you were wondering, your browser supports embedded PDFs. You
lucky dog, you!)
If you're working with dynamic HTML, such as a single-page web app,
you may need to insert PDFs on-the-fly. However, PDF embedding is not
supported by certain browsers. If you insert markup without first
checking for PDF support, you could wind up with missing content or a
broken UI.
The PDFObject utility helps you avoid these situations by detecting
support for PDF embedding in the browser; if embedding is supported,
the PDF is embedded. If embedding is NOT supported by the browser, the
PDF will NOT be embedded.
By default, PDFObject 2.0 inserts a fallback link to the PDF when the
browser does not support inline PDFs. This ensures your users always
have access to your PDF, and is designed to help you write less code.
The fallback link can be customized, or the option can be disabled if
you prefer.
PDFObject 2.0 is npm-ready. Modern web apps use npm to manage packages
and dependencies. PDFObject 2.0 is registered with Node Package
Manager (npm) and can be loaded dynamically.
PDFObject also makes it easy to specify Adobe's proprietary "PDF Open
Parameters". (Be warned these parameters are only supported by Adobe
Reader, most PDF readers will ignore the parameters, including the
built-in PDF readers in Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Read
more below.)
Is there anyway to embed a fillable pdf form on a web page that the viewer would be able to fill out and send with the Adobe submit function? without having to click through or download the actual pdf
thanks
By default, the Adobe Reader will display a PDF in Protected Mode when it's viewed in a browser, for security reasons it's basically not interactive. Users can add your domain to a trusted host and then the PDF becomes interactive.
However, you can't really count on the PDF being opened in an Adobe viewer (Reader or Acrobat) when it's opened in a browser even when an Adobe viewer is installed on the machine and set as the default handler for that file type. The most common browsers have PDF viewers built in that just don't function in the same way as their Adobe counterparts.
You're really much better off linking to the PDF form in a way that forces the PDF to download (through .htaccess or something) and open in the default handler.
Using an Android phone, when i click on a pdf link (i.e. example.com/abc.pdf), Chrome downloads it. I want Chrome to directly open it with the default pdf viewer of the user. So i think i need to use:
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents
I do not want to force user to open it with a specific app (i.e. adobe reader) so i do not know the package name.
Any help?
If it is not possible, how to open it with adobe reader?
many hours of trying...and at last...
open pdf
I have a link in a pdf-document (PDF1), which is embedded in a browser instance. Or let's say the Adobe Reader is embedded in a browser window.
In this pdf-document (PDF2) is a link to a servlet, which view opens another pdf-file.
Now the new pdf-document is opened in a embedded Adobe Reader in the same browser window. How can this document (PDF2) be opened in a new browser window with a new embedded Adobe Reader?
Does this depend on the editor tool used for the generation of the pdf-document?
PS: I am not creating the first one (PDF1), but I am faced with the question, how to open the second one (PDF2) in a new window, so the first document is not "lost" and has to be reopened again.
I think you can't do this without changing Acrobat Reader. What happens is this:
You download the first file.
IE notices "PDF" and embeds Acrobat Reader. The reader gets the URL as an argument. Despite the fact that AR renders the document inside of an IE window, AR is now in full control of the document. So when you click on a link, it's AR (and not IE) who processes the event and downloads the second document.
I suggest to try Foxit Reader or some other PDF reader which doesn't use a "single document" UI. Foxit uses tabs and can display several PDF documents.
They are faster, too and more comfortable to use.
[EDIT] Actually, AR calls the OS to handle the link. You can achieve the same effect by copy an URL into the clipboard and then click on the "Start" button and "Run...". Paste the URL into the dialog. Or open a command line prompt and paste the URL at the prompt.
The OS will start downloading the file, determine the type and then directly invoke the application which is registered for that type. IE does the same thing which has caused some of the security holes in the past (site offers IE some data which seems to be of type XXX but is in fact a virus. IE will call the OS to execute it and user wonders how he got infected).
Is there a way to embed a pdf in a page and when it opens, to show two pages at once, side by side?
I want to simulate what happens when you open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat, then check "Two page View" and "Show cover page in Two Page view" under View->Page Display
I don't want to use a pdf reader script in my page; I'm happy if this only covers the set of users using more advanced in browser pdf readers.
Cheers
What you are trying to do involves browsers from multiple vendors and multiple versions of it, there is no concise and succinct answer to your question.
When trying to present a PDF document to a user via the web browser, in a particular fashion, you could use the following Parameters for Opening PDF Files
However, the parameter that you are looking for "Book View", i.e, Two Pages in a single view is not supported as per the official documentation.
Chrome and Acrobat are no longer compatible.
Change in support for Acrobat and Reader plug-ins in modern web browsers
For, other browsers that still support PDF plugins, use the following guidlines to Display PDF in browser
(This is mostly on the user side)
