How To Supress Acrobat Error Message And Alert Message

[ckpang@adobeforums.com]

Is there any way to supress those pop up message?
If can't, is there any way to catch it?

Hi ckpang,

I'm also looking for these information. I know that you can't suppress the popups (for security reason).

I think it's possible to catch it using the callback notifications.

Please share these information once you'll find a solution.

Thanks in advance,

It is quite annoying when using OLE automation and facing those popup.
Even we manage to catch it, I think we still can't programmatically terminate the app.

no, you can't catch alerts/pop ups brought up during OLE automation...

Hi Leonard,

And using the SDk? (with a plugin) Is it possible to catch alerts/pop ups?

[NoSmoking@adobeforums.com]

You can use hook proc to catch the alert window.

In my case I have to catch the alert window generated by Adobe Acrobat.
I use Acrobat but I hide the Acrobat's windows using it and once an alert popups the window is shown but it doesn't take the focus. So the user can't see/understand that he needs to click 'OK' on the alert/popup which is in the Acrobat window.

Which procedure do I need to know that an alert occurs? (and I don't want to launch a thread to check if the Acrobat's window is hidden or not;)

Someone has already faced to this problem?

CkPang/Joel,

All the Adobe Acrobat pop-ups are controlled via registry and have blocked many of those for my application users using the same. Let me know the exact pop-up and the steps to re-generate the same and will try to provide a key for disabling.

Thanks Atin. But I have an easier way to resolve this problem.
The solution is to create a thread (or use the AVIdleProc callback) and add a check with AVAppModalWindowIsOpen(). If a modal window is open then you can catch it by doing a search on the windows. The Class name is #32770 (Dialog) and the Window Caption is Adobe Acrobat

Fine Joel and thanks for the update regarding the code.

However, the term easier method should be based on the situation like you feel its better to catch and dismiss the popups using the code while I feel its better to disable the Adobe pop-ups once via registry so that they can never come and disturb the users. This solution will work irrespective of whether the application is not running.
