Designer form prompts Reader X error:"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader"

I have a PDF form that was created using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. PDF version 1.6, so it's good for Reader 7.x and above.
When someone using Adobe Reader X tries to open the form, they get this javascript error message:
"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader. Without a newer version, the form may be displayed, but it might not work properly. Some form elements might not be visible at all. In an internet connection is available, clicking OK will download and install the latest version."
Is there anything I can do to the form that would make this error message go away? Is this a know issue with Adobe Reader X or Designer?

Is there any code running on the form?
Reader X has come out with additional security features that must be disabled to get any PDF form w/code to work.
Open Adobe Reader X --> click on Edit --> Preferences.  Under the General Category, uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" (last checkbox in the dialog box).  Click OK and try to open your form.

  • This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader !?

    Hi there
    I use LiveCycle 8 and I design forms for a target audience using Acrobat Reader 7..
    My problem is whatever I put in a form, I get a really annoying message when opened in Acrobat reader 7
    This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader, Without a newer version, the form may be displayed but not work properly etc....
    This doesn't inspire confidence for the user.
    I get this message even if I open a new form, add a single textfield and save as Acrobat 7 PDF form.
    Is there a way around this ?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I am not too sure, I thought that saving as Acrobat 7 pdf,would do that. Is that not the case ? Are you referring to something else ?
    Thanks
    Chris

  • PDF Form Requires a newer version of Adobe Reader

    New at this...Created my form in Live Cycle 8.0/Professional 8. Throughout company we are using Acrobat Reader 7.0 and are not at this time looking to upgrade. When our users open this form, get "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader..." and prompts them to upgrade. Is there anyway I can get rid of this message...a way to make my form know that users will be opening in 7.0 and accept without error?
    Also, I'm not able to get the Submit to Email button to work...getting "This operation is not permitted"...how can I fix?
    Funny thing is I had been able to get the e-mail button to work at one time, but now, all of the sudden, it doesn't want to work...even on my machine which has Live Cycle/Professional 8 loaded?????
    Thanks!

    Geo,
    Thanks for the quick response. Tried and received: "This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.
    Help...thanks again

  • I can't open pdf's--since getting newer version of adobe reader

    I am using a desktop Mac OSX 10.9.2 and my adobe reader is version 9.5.5

    Version 9.5.5 is not the newer version. In fact, it's quite old so that might be the problem. It may be too old for your OS.
    Download and install Adobe Reader XI.

  • I was prompted to download the new version of Adobe Reader XI 10.0.03. I now cannot open it

    I was prompted to download the new version of Adobe Reader XI 10.0.03. I now cannot open any document. I have never had trouble before. It gives me an error message: “Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatability with your system configuration.  Would you like to open Adobe reader with protected mode disabled.” I tried a number of things including clicking on the first and last options the prompt gives.  Help!

    Three things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

    I'm working with the CS4 Design Premium Suite.  I've done all the updates. I've followed all the steps in the training.
    I've used the adobe media encoder to create FLV file from a windows media clip.
    Then on a simple new html page. saved to a brand new local folder I try to insert my conent:
    I  use  menu command "Insert _ Media _ FLV"  I browse to the file,  I insert & save the page
    I can see a place holder in design view but if I go to live view I see the message"Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player."
    If I preview to a browser I get the same thing,
    If I go to the local folder and access the page directly I get the same thing.
    I alse created simple SWF file in Flash CS4.  Saved in the root folder.
    I use the menu command "Insert _ Media _ SWF"  I see a place holder.
    Save it, save all the files.
    Same thing. Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
    I read online where others are having this issue, someone one said "Why are you using "swfobject_modified?"  "Try swfobject.modified"
    tried with no visble change.
    I thought that flash & dreamweaver are supposed to be fully intergrated?
    Why are these seemingly simple operations causing me so much grief?
    I'm days behind in my training & on my project due to this problem.   Any help anyone could offer would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player...What??

    Hi,
    I have a really enoying problem here, please help me out!
    I have built my personal webpage in Flash CS3/AS3. I did some updates today, changed some pictures and stuff. Now when I upload and replace the previous *.swf on the server, and try to load my webpage my browser displays the folowing message:
    Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
    I tried exporting with Flas Player 8, and checked it using different bowsers too (curenntly I use the latest version of Firefox), but I get the same error when trying to relode my site. I have no more ideas what to do.
    Please help....
    Regards

    I have been used to this issue for a while now so I take it for granted with the solution.
    It seems Dreamweaver has issues with absolute paths when it comes to displaying SWF files correctly.
    It would seem that the logical workflow would be to open the  File tab and drag the SWF file into place.
    Doing this works if you test the SWF file directly in Dreamweaver by clicking on the Play button when the SWF file is active.
    But if you view it in a browser using the Web URL you will get: Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
    This plagued me for ages as I ended up installing and reinstalling Flash Player until I realised this was happening on all Computers that I tested the page on.
    If you drag the SWF file onto the page, in Code View you will see in two locations in the generated code: data="file:///C|/path/swffile.swf"
    Noe the strange | character after C ?
    This needs to be changed to the relative path data="path/swffile.swf"
    It will then work in the Browser without the error message
    If you go: Insert / Media / SWF and choose the SWF file, it will add it correctly.
    It only seems to happen when you drag the SWF into the page.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't download new version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  Please help?

    I can't download a newer version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  What can I do? 

    No, sorry, that's not how forums work. We are just ordinary people, not employed by Adobe (and Adobe won't help, because it's free software).
    Step 1. Try to get the file you want on screen. I expect you to see the message "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document"
    Step 2. Understand you are looking at a page of a file, even though it looks like an error message. It is in a window, right?
    Step 3. Move your mouse towards the bottom of the window. Stop moving the mouse. A little bar should appear with four buttons.
    Step 4. Click the fourth button.
    Step 5. Open FINDER.
    Step 6. Open Downloads from your left bar.
    Step 7. Find the file you just downloaded.
    Step 8. Double click on that file to open it.
    Please do not skip anything, just because you don't understand it. Instead, let us know.
    If these instructions let you down, please let us know (a) on which step, and (b) what actually happens instead of what I said.

  • I have a new version of adobe reader for android on my tablet now i cannot delete files

    I have a new version of adobe reader for android on my tablet. Now there is no delete tab to get rid of old files

    Sorry, I was asking about the version of your Android operating system.  But if your PDF documents are not stored on an SD card, it does not matter which Android version you have.
    To permanently delete a PDF document from your Android device using Adobe Reader,
    In the Reader home screen, tap Documents in the left pane.
    Long press (press & hold) the PDF document that you want to delete.
    Tap the trash can icon in the top toolbar.
    Please note that there is no Undo for the Delete operation.
    If you have many files that you want to delete, it would be easier to download and install a File Manager app and delete files at once.

  • FLV works in preview but "content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player"

    I used Media Encoder CS5 to create a FLV file from an AVI file. The video plays correctly in preview (both IE and FF). After I uploaded the page, video, and the script folder (includes expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js), the web page shows "the content of this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player" (in FF. IE just show a partially completed download status bar). I am already at version  10 but I download and installed the player without any success. I am new to web site maintenance so any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
