Adobe reader version and javascript

Dear, all
We met a lot problem while trying to distribute our interactive form
the form contains some javascript logic, and it works perfectly on our own machine.
but on different users machine ,with same pdf reader version and os version ,the javascript behave differently , some of them even donot execute any javascript at all.
we try to upgrade their java runtime, but the problem still there.
could you pls tell me what would be the reason for that?
and do you have some practical methods to prevent this happen when distributing interactive forms?

hi Jun Zhang,
I faced a similar problem, and after much work around realized that it is the Adobe Version on the users system which influences the behaviour of the JavaScript or FormCal scripting.
You may refer the SAP Note 834573, for further reference.

Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?

Also, download and open the free Adobe Reader app. Then read the Help section to figure out how to use it.

I have Adobe Reader Version 11.0.03 and can't open PDFs. Would appreciate some help.

What buttons do you get to click on with this message? What browser are you using (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer...)

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 under Windows 8.1 x64

Good Afternoon,
my company plan migration from Windows XP to Windows 8.1 x64. For this reason shall I find out, which Software run under Windows 8.1 x64. From Adobe Products we need to know, if Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 run under Windows 8.1.
If the Software named above run not under Windows 8.1 x64, could you write me please, which version we need und how much it is. Thank you very much.
Best Regards

If you have Acrobat, there is no need for Reader. Acrobat 8 is not certified for use on Win8.1, only Acrobat XI. You can get the current cost from the Adobe Store at Adobe.com. The cost is a per computer license. If you have a lot of computer, you might be able to negotiate with Adobe on a volume order or site license (for so many licenses) -- you would have to call Adobe on that.
AA 8 can be made to work in some cases, but I would not recommend it in a business environment. It is not worth risking some hickup with software that is marginally compatible when you have some deadline or such.

Adobe Reader version 8 and Apple PDF files

Since installing the Adobe Reader version 8.0, I cannot view any PDF files within Safari from the Apple document web pages (I have not yet tried other sources). All I get is the spinning beach ball, and have to Force Quit Safari, which is described as "not responding." I can view on the Reaader PDF files downloaded with Safari, but the plug-in that lets you view PDF files within Safari does not seem to be working with the new Reader version 8.0.

Thanks for the reply. I had that option checked when the problem occurred. The problem only occurs on the Apple Customer Service website. I can view PDF files with the Reader v.8.0 on other sites.
I downloaded the PDF Browser and deselected the Reader option you suggested. PDF Browser works fine and I think I will stick with that program.

I'm having a similar problem when following hyperlinks from PDFs. Adobe Reader 11.0.07 hangs and ties up half the CPU. Again, Windows 7 Professional SP 1, Pentium dual core E6700 4 GB. Have tried running the cleaner tool and reloading, no change. The leap in CPU below is the point at which the hyperlink was selected.

Added or ediited texts by Bluebeam Revu,and has been saved,when I open it by the Adobe reader version 8.1,why it does not show my texts added by Revu?8.1 is my favorite version,I also tried it in a later version fo Reader,it doesn't work too!

The response above is only a speculative answer to the original question. DSI-Hal, did you try to flatten the text in Bluebeam Revu prior to opening it in Adobe. This has worked for me on several different documents but not sure if we are using the same version of Adobe Reader.
Give it a shot. Good luck.

You can use the Acroform JavaScript API app.viewerVersion property.

Adobe Reader version 7.1.0 will not install

Hi all,
I am bringing up a new Discovery server and working through the SAP Discovery System Quick Guide. My question is that Adobe Reader version 7.0.9 is no longer available and version 7.1.0 will not launch.
Has anyone seen an issue with this? When I run the Adobe Reader installer, it fails with no error. There are no messages in the event log either.
Looking through troubleshooting guides, it appears that version 7.x is mandatory and there are errors if only 8.x is installed.
I've searched the forums with no luck. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Please consider opening a CSN ticket on component CA-SOA-DS and the appropriate SAP support personnel will assist you in this issue.

Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5 - FDF Issue

I have an issue that only happens when using Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5.
When submitting a form from within a PDF, the FDF that gets sent is completely blank.
Tested on Mac OSX 10.4 with Adobe Reader 9 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSX 10.5 with Adobe Reader 8 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSC 10.5 with Adobe Professional 8 - no issue
It only seems to be a combination of OSX 10.5 and Reader 9. Does anyone have any clue about the settings of these two and what might be happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mac OS 10.4.11: I could not open pdf docs today (12-24-08), uninstalled & installed Adobe Reader 9.0.0. pdf docs icons changed but open, however cannot open Reader from Applications and get: Adobe Reader
Version 9.0.0
Installing/fixing installation
Then immediately get this error message:
Adobe Reader could not install correctly.
Adobe Reader was unable to install a necessary component
and must quit.
Any help out there for me?
Thanks, Tony

Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 won't save pdf file as original file name

We are currently using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10.
When we open and existing pdf file then make any changes (using the Fill & Sign Tab at the top right hand side) then click Save it won't save the file. We have to re-name the file in order to save it.
This was working ok back in January and wondered if there has been an up-date since then that has made this error occur?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. We have tried that but it has not made any difference. Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

Hi everyone,
I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

Windows Vista.
I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

Now I let the user to use Adobe Reader 9 but need to solve for him. As some pdf files are needed by newer Adobe Reader version.
Please help to fix. Many thanks.

I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe. Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK ! If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.
