Generate an error message that Adobe Reader 8 or later is required

Afternoon all,
I have created a form (in Acrobat 10 Pro) with a lot of scripts and we have determined that they do not all work as desired in Adobe Reader 7 and earlier.
Is there a way to generate an error message if a user opens this form with Adobe 7 or earlier?
We would like a message to pop up advising the user that Adobe 8 or later is required for this form.
It does not have to lock them out or anything, we just want to advise them.
Thanks much,
Steve

Thanks,
This is how my bosses want this done. For one part, some of the functionality we are using just doesn't exist in Reader prior to version 8. For others, the users don't really have an option to go elsewhere.
As for thescript, i am not sure how to apply it. Where do i access the initial page's open event?
I do know how to enter document level scripts (this form has several) but what does "outside of a function definition" mean and how do i do that?
Thanks everyone,
steve

    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!

  • I keep getting an error message that Adobe reader has stopped working.

    I have re-booted, I have un-installed and re-installed andI still can't open a PDF attachment nor can I change a Word doc into a PDF.

    Windows 7 Professional.  I meant that when I open a word doc and want to turn it into a PDF, i get the same error message.  In the mean time I paid the $40.00 and spoke to Adobe and after 40 minutes, they re-installed Reader X instead of XI so now it works but I am not overly thrilled that I had to pay for it.

  • Why do I get a message that Adobe Reader Beyond is not connected to the internet, when I am connecte

  • I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get the error message that adobe could not

    I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download.  I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

    This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
    For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

    Ps: which jdev version do you use?

  • Blank error message in Adobe Reader

    I have Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows 7 OS.  Often when I click on a link that opens a Adobe file I get a blank page and a BLANK error message from Adobe with only an "OK" to click.  If I go back and try again, I get the same thing but as they say, "third time is the charm" and the file will open.
    Any suggestions?

    Reader 9.1 is not compatible with Windows 7. Update to Reader 9.4.4 or the latest Reader X.

  • Error message from Adobe Reader. cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly. Print looks like gibberish

    Trying to view/print PDF documents from website. Print looks like gibberish and is unreadable. Problem is with the embedded fonts. Error message from Adobe says cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly.

    Try Adobe support, that's not a Firefox support issue. <br />

  • Error message with Adobe Reader

    I get an error message saying that the application is trying to shut down in an unusal manner when I try to open a file with Adobe Reader.

    Which version of Adobe Reader is it?
    If the file protected or something?
    Also did you try with different pdf files, from different places to see if it is specific to a certain pdf document or to all pdf documents?
    Also, try uninstalling / reinstalling.. or repair the installation.
    Cheers

  • I'm receiving an error message updating adobe reader, can you explain message and give assistance?

    Adobe Reader automatic update to 10.5.8 will not load onto my Mac Yosemite. Error message is "Installer: Package name is Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10) Installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed (The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
    I would appreciate some assistance from the manufacturer as it says....
    The update presented to me to upgrade to is 10.5.8, current version is 10.1.8 updated on March 8th. Why is there another update so soon??

    OK, looking closer, it is saying I have 10.5.8 and it is trying to download Reader 11. However, my applications folder says my current version is 10.1.8.  The enclosed screenshot appeared when I clicked on a link in a "Proxy Statement" I received as a shareholder. The link was to take me to shareholder voting. It originated from my brokerage firm, so really unlikely it was spam link. So, when I went ahead and installed this I got the error message I posted in first email.
    Sorry if I confused versions....
    Does this look like spam? If it isn't, why the error message??
    thanks

  • Repeated Error Message with Adobe Reader after opening up PDF files

    After experiencing this problem, not being that computer savvy I figured I'd remove the existing Adobe Reader from my computer and download a new version in the hopes of eliminating the problem. When I do so, I get message "The patch package could not be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Patch Package."

    Ankit,
    Here are my responses as best as I can address them:
    1. Adobe 10.0.1
    2. I believe it is Windows XP
    3. I was unable to remove the existing Adobe version because of the "patch
    package could not be opened......" I believe i may have inadvertently
    downloaded this patch via www.secunia.ocom "Personal Software Inspector"
    program (Untitled (1)).. Using the older version alone when opening up PDF
    documents resulting in their closing and my getting an error message
    ("Untitled and Untitled (2))..
    4. I was able to successfully download Adobe 10.1.0. However, it won't allow
    me to download required updates.
    As a result of this mess, I have the 2 versions of Adobe on my computer,
    which is allowing me to open up PDF files on my computere.
    Again, I'm not terribly computer savvy. I'm simply trying to find a way to
    remove the old version and work with the new version.
    Hope this helps, as I'm stumped. Thanx for your assistance.

  • Error Message in Adobe Reader with LiveCycle PDF

    When I use Adobe LiveCycle 8.0 and save a form as Acrobatic Static 6 or 7 *.pdf, I open up Adobe Reader 7.0 and I get an error message. It states that the form I am trying to open requires a newer version and that some fields may not be displayed properly. Am I not doing something right when I save my form in LiveCycle?

    Susan, what's the exact version of Designer you're using. If you go to the Help->About Adobe LiveCycle Designer it'll tell you.

  • Error message in adobe reader

    Hi everyone,
    I configured the online interactive forms web dynpro scenario on NW04s SP 10 with ADS SP 10 and Adobe Reader 7.0.8.
    When I start my application in the portal, the following error message occurs in Adobe Reader:
    'This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document'
    The Form is displayed but I can't type anything into it.
    I checked SAP NOTE 917773 and 937460. Both solutions didn't help.
    The time zones on the Web AS and on my Client are the same and I have Administrator rights on my client.
    What could be the reason for this error message.
    Thanks for your replies,
    Olaf

    Hi,
    i had the same error on my environment with this releases.
    SAP NW 04 SP 19, ADS SP 19 and Adobe Reader 7.0.9 (German).
    All is installed on a development PC with full Admin-Rights.
    Both solutions (SAP NOTE 917773 and 937460) didn't help.
    What can i do ?
