Creating an Adobe Reader 6.0 compatible form in Designer 7.0

I imported a PDF into Designer 7.0, updated the form to allow user input, and saved it as an Adobe Reader 6.0 compatible form. This form works fine in Adobe Reader 6.0 but whenever a user initially opens the form, a message pops up prompting the user to upgrade to 7.0 or else the form will not work. Clicking "Cancel" gets rid of the message and allows the user to input into the fully functional form, but the message still pops up every time the form is opened. Over half of our users are running Adobe Reader 6.0, so any help on preventing this message would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff

I'm having the same problems here hope somebody has a solution

Use Adobe Reader to send Interactive Forms

Hello,
Can someone please help me how to use Adobe Reader to send interactive forms back to their respective owner?
This is by either the submit button or the submit by email button.
I can change the coding as I have Livecycle ES
Look forward to getting some help on this matter
Cheers

Adobe Reader won't save forms under Mavericks.

After installing Mavericks on a Mac, discovered that Adobe Reader won't save forms or e-mail them with the filled-in information. DOes anyone know a fix? Does anyone know if this is also true for Acrobat?

The reason is Adobe has not updated there software yet to play well with Mavericks. The fault is of course with the Adobe Software. I suggest you go to there web site and see if they have a fix yet for there software, If not all you can do is continue to check back with them or get on there fourms and see what others have to say about this same issue.

Can I export the form I created in Adobe Reader?

can I export the form I developed in the Formscnetral in Adobe reader?

Hi there
This is a question that is likely better suited for the forum supporting PDF reader. However, I seem to recall seeing something a year or four back that said this was a preference for each user. If that still holds true today, it would mean that you really have no control over it from the authoring end and machine A might open it and see it in the reader as you want, while machine B might open it and see it in the browser.
Hopefully others will share more light on this. Until then, I'd recommend using Google to search for opening PDFs from browser links.
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Reader crashes on importing form XML data larger than 500KB

I'm trying to import XML data into a PDF form using Adobe Reader. When the file size of the XML is smaller than 500 kilobytes, the PDF form loads the data fine. However, any larger than this leads to Adobe Reader crashing without a warning or error message.
I've tried this with Aodbe Reader versions 7.0.5, v9 and even the latest Adobe Reader X: same result. So the latest version does not have any patches for this issue so far.
To be more specific, the form is an IPC-1752-2 v1.0 Material Composition Declaration form. The XML data is generated by a software. Some of the XML files worked fine but others caused Reader to crash. Experimenting with a repeating data node, I tried different file sizes and came to the conclusion that Reader crashes past around 500KB.
Any patches or quick workarounds will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Firstly I woudl not use the submit by email button (it is too restrictive). You could create or build an email submit button. Just drop a regular button on the form (change the caption to something more meaningful). Now make it a submit button. A submit tab becaomes active. Click on that. In the Submit to URL field enter in the command:
mailto:[email protected], youremail [email protected]?subject="This is a subject"&cc="ccaddress if req"&body="This is the body if required"
You can control all parts of the message this way. Do a google search for mailto to see all of the different options.
Now you need to set what you are going to send. In the Submit As dropdown, choose PDF. Now a PDF will be sent. To be able to allow all users to send PDF you will have to Reader Extend the form. You can do this in Acrobat. Once all of this is done, open the form in Acrobat and under the Advanced menu choose Extend Features in Adobe Reader. Now follow the wizard and save your form. Distribute the saved form.

Using the Adobe reader iPad app with forms

I want to use the app at work to allow clients to fill out forms. I uploaded my forms and it works well typing in the boxes and writing signatures. Is there then a way to make copies of a document in the app so that I can have a blank template. Also, can you change the name of a document or form once it is opened in the app?

Hello gawks08,
Adobe Reader on iOS currently does not allow you to create copies of a document, or to rename a document. We have taken down these requests for consideration in a future update.
Thanks for your feedback!

Adobe Reader 9.0 - Disable Forms Highlight color show border hover color for fields for all user a

Hello.
I am installing Adobe Reader 9.0 onto a new windows xp corporate build for my company. We would like to have the Forms Preference "Highlight Color" Show border Hover Color for Fields checkbox unchecked by default for any user that logs onto the workstation. (All new WinXP profiles, and if possible, any existing profiles) Is there a registry entry that can be changed to ensure that this option is unchecked by default on our WinXP build?
Thank you.

bumping thread...
I have downloaded the Adobe Reader 9.0 Custom Wizard install creator tool, but it still appears that I will need to know what registry key to change/import into the installer for this preference to be disabled by default for all users of the workstation that Adobe Reader 9.x is installed onto.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Content type for Adobe Reader from a LiveCycle form

This seems to affect Adobe Reader 9 for Mac OS X.
I have a PDF form made in LiveCycle. It has an HTTP Submit button. The data gets tranferred to the server without a problem (the data is getting saved by our php script), but when the script (on the server) returns the "Thank You" page, we get the following error:
"An error occurred during the submit process. Cannot process content of type text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1."
This works fine in Acrobat Reader (and Pro) on Windows and Acrobat Pro on the Mac; the only place we've encountered this problem is with Adobe Reader on the Mac.
I have tried changing the content-encoding coming out of the server to us-ascii and utf-8, but we get basically the same error, so I don't think it really has anything to do with the content-encoding, it's something with the Reader itself, or I'm just doing something completely wrong.
Can anyone point me to any documentation on why this isn't working?
Thanks!

THanks Rehman. Can you send it to [email protected]
I have given some points and will close it when I see your document

Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog

Hi Community,
I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

Is adobe reader (any version) compatible if running ios6 on an imac?

I am trying to find out if I have an iMac if I can run adobe reader from ios6. I have
ios5 for windows installed now and it seems like it is not very compatible with ios 5 for windows, it only works about 1/2 the time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
edit: I meant to say that I am using a Safari Browser on a windows computer, but I am planning to
use an imac with safari and ios6 - thanks

You can install Adobe Reader for either Mac or Windows by going here in your browser: http://get.adobe.com/reader
That page will help you get Reader installed for that computer.
I am not aware of what message you are referring to that is telling you that Reader is not installed, or what application is showing that message.

Reducing form load in Adobe Reader / Optimizing Interactive Dynamic Forms

I have a four page form that is taking approximately a minute to minute and a half on my T61P with 3 Gigs and Intel Pentium CoreDuo T7500 @ 2.2GHz. Everything loads up fine so it is only this pdf that is the problem.
Can someone help me or point me to a resource that shows how to tune this form to reduce the load time in Reader. BTW I am on LC ES 8.2 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. I am using Acrobat 9.0 Reader exclusively for a Reader.

I checked your forms, tried following on my end and it seems to be working as expected with this one little change......
You housed section 12 in a subform named "Subform2" and set Min Count 1 under Object>>Binding tab......Now I also set "Initial Count" as "0" which seems to have fixed issue but not the good practice to follow. Try it out on your end and see if that is the case....
However I suspect this issue is primarily caused by the way you have your layout designed....I noticed you have your form designed with few subforms as well as few open items not wrapped under subform which may be causing this issue.

If I use adobe reader 7.0 to open LiveCycle Designer ES2, what will happen?

Hi,
I am planning to recommend adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 as a forms designer software to a corporate client. But it seems that the client is still using the old version of adobe reader 7.0.
So I need to know that is it essential to use adobe reader 9.0 for designer ES2, and if by adobe reader 7.0, what problem would be happen?
It is very helpful If there is some detailed information about it.
Thanks

Hi,
When you design a form in LC Designer ES2 you can set the target version of Acrobat/Reader in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab.
While you can target v7, you need to be aware that some of the functionality in LC Designer ES2 is not supported in Reader v7. For example in LC Designer you can set the presence of an object to 'visible (screen only)', but this is not supported in Reader v7, so would cause a problem. So for each form you would need to set the target version and then check the Warnings palette to see if there are any problems.
Check out the post by John Brinkman discussing Acrobat X, as this has a very handy table for the LC Designer/XFA Specification and Acrobat/Reader versions: Acrobat X and XFA 3.3
XFA Version
Acrobat/Reader
2.1
6.02
2.2
7.0
2.3
7.0.1, 7.02
2.4
7.0.5, 7.0.7
2.5
8.0
2.6
8.1, 8.1.1
2.8
9.0
3.0
9.1, 9.2, 9.3
3.3
10.0
You can see there are alot of changes around v7 and that if the user has Reader v7.0.7, then you can utilise the features in XFA Specification 2.4.
The other issue to be aware of is that users with Reader will NOT be able to save data in the form UNLESS the form has been Reader Enabled before the form is deployed.
The form can be Reader Enabled in two ways:
Using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v7 or v8. Has licence restrictions, see EULA.
Using a server produce called Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2. Additional costs.
Here is a summary of the options available to users with Reader, depending on whether the form is Reader Enabled AND how it was enabled:
There is a post here and a PDF summary:

Why am I unable to use my iPhone dictation in adobe reader in a fillable form I created in forms central for acrobat?

I am new to adobe and new to forums altogether, so I apologize in advance for any errors and difficulties. I have installed the trial version of adobe acobat XI pro and have created a form in form central. Initially I saved a test form as a pdf and emailed it to myself. When I opened the file on my iphone using reader was able to fill in the fields using my iphone's dictation. I have since added additional fields and customized the form, but now I am unable to utilize the dictation feature on my iphone to fill in the fields.... HELP!

If you send a video of the issue you are experiencing to [email protected], we can try to help you.
