Help with PDF in Reader please

I hve Windows XP and Reader 9 and I  am trying to fill in a PDF form that according to the secutity settings shows that the fields allow filling but no signature.  I tried using tools but it says "only available when document rights are available".  I did the preferences-documents-PDF/A and set to NEVER but no change there either.  I'm new at this and not sure if I'm missing something or If I need to have Acrobat (which I can't afford).  This is not the first form I have tried to fill in with no luck, it's very frustrating.

You can ignore security. It is just telling you that if there were fillable fields, you have permissions to fill them in.
In this case, there are no fillable fields.

  • Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

    I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
    When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
    So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe.  When I start the download I get this on the screen:  The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068."  The memory could not be written.  Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug.  So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer.   A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
    I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it.  I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
    I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
    So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance, for your reply.  Jim R.

    Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy.  A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." 
    Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief. 
    It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C.  no joy. 
    Sigh...Jim R.

  • Problem with adobe acrobat/reader - please help!

    Hello,
    My acrobat reader was fine and I was able to open the pdf files sent to me, then suddenly it just wouldn't open anything at all.  It went into open mode and just stayed there, and wouldn't let me close it.  Then I got a message saying "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader.  Please exit and try again".  I've done this lots of times and it still isn't working.
    I would be very grateful for any help or suggestions.  I have windows 7, and as I said its all been fine up until now.
    Thanks.
    mspryce.

    This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. You should check the reader forum. In the meantime, if you are not running AR9.3 or so, you should update. Prior versions before 9 are not designed for Win7 and that might be your issue -- you gave no indication of version.

  • Help with PDF Generation

    We are currently evaluating LiveCycle ES to potentially convert numerous Pro/E 3D drawings to PDF. Unfortunately, I am having a difficult time finding the proper resources to help achieve this. What we would like the process to do is:
    1) Take a Pro/E file, and apply a forms template
    2) Add an "Exploded View" animation for the 3D drawing (such as what can be generated by Adobe 3D Reviewer)
    3) Expose the "Bill of Material" to the template fields
    4) Save the generated PDF to a defined folder
    5) Perform these steps for a "watched folder" for when new drawings are submitted
    In LiveCycle Workbench, I have been able to read a Pro/E file and apply our template. But I cannot find information on how to achieve the other steps.
    Could somebody please point me to specific resources and/or samples that would help with this? Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.
    If I'm understanding you correctly, option 1 probably won't work for this situation, because we're working with existing ProE drawings -- hundreds, if not thousands, of them. So, they don't want to go back and add the exploded view. Unless you're saying that we could use javaScript to generate the exploded view and BOM from the ProE files?
    Do you know of an example (or other resource) that describes either of the options you outlined? Could you explain a little more?
    Thanks again!

  • Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

    Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6. 
    I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
    So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
    Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    And the colour started to get messed up.
    And the output is a total diasater
    Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
    So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
    The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
    And the output is just the same as the third option.
    Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

    I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
    if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues
    windows calibrate link:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Calibrate-your-display
    for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
    you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
    and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
    with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

  • Help with pdf tasks

    Hello,
    I am trying to automate a couple of specific tasks with pdf files but I am having some trouble. At my job we are printing files to pdf but afterwards we must go back and edit the pdf files. Basically what we need to do is this (in order):
    1) Rotate the first 'one to three' pages. The first page(s) need to be rotated counterclockwise but it can be 1-3 pages that need this. All we know is that they always appear first. These pages are very similiar in content so I was thinking about making the program search for a keyword common to those pages then rotate it if it finds that keyword. That way we can ensure that its only rotating the pages which need to be rotated.
    2) The last 3 pages of the document need to be moved to the top. These documents vary in number of pages so I cant just tell the program to move certain pages numbers to the top. All we know is that its always the last 3 pages of any document that need to be moved to the top. Also, just for clarification is another way to reorder pages in Acrobat besides dragging them with the mouse?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Fazal

    Both of these could be implemented using JavaScript, perhaps using a batch sequence. #2 is easy, and #1 may or may not be possible/reliable based on the actual content of the document.
    For #1, a script is able to loop through the words on a page to search for one or more words. If found, it can look at the position of the word on the page, and if it meets the position criteria, use the setPageRotations document method to rotate the page.
    For #2, just use the movePage document method to move the last three pages.
    If you need help with the code, consider posting in the Acrobat Scripting forum. Include more information for #1 if you do.

  • Help with PDF Javascript calculation involving checkboxes

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a PDF Form, and need help with a calculation.
    For the sake of simplicity, Lets say I have 5 fields. FSA1 and FSA2 are checkboxes. TotalClaimed1 and TotalClaimed2 are text fields which allow only a numerical input.
    The last box, FSA_Total, should add the value from TotalClaimed1 if FSA1 is checked, and it should also add the value from TotalClaimed2 if FSA2 is checked.
    The code is malfunctioning, however. Something is causing it to add to the total every time the box is checked. Its almost like the checking off of the box is what causes the addition.
    It seems like the code is being read as "When the box is checked, add the value to the total", so each time the box gets checked, it adds to the total again.
    and it should be "IF the box is checked, add the value to the total" so if there is a value in the field, and the box is checked, that value is passed on to the total; and if the box is not checked, the value is ignored.
    Can anyone spot what might be causing this? Code is below.
    var claim1 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed1').value),
        claim2 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed2').value),
        fsabox = parseInt(this.getField('FSA_Total').value);
    if (this.getField('FSA1').value == 'Yes') {
        fsabox += claim1;
    if (this.getField('FSA2').value == 'Yes') {
        fsabox += claim2;
    event.value = fsabox;
    Thanks
    Thisguy1234

    This is a custom calculation script for FSA_Total, correct? The code is working correctly, it's just not what you want. Assuming this is a custom calculation script in the FSA_Total field, it should be something like:
    var sum = 0;
    var claim1 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed1').value, 10),
        claim2 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed2').value, 10),
    // Add field values if corresponding check boxes are selected
    if (getField('FSA1').value !== "Off") {
        sum += claim1;
    if (getField('FSA2').value !== "Off") {
        sum += claim2;
    // Set this field value
    event.value = sum;
    Why are you using parseInt, exactly?

  • Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

    Hello frnds,
    I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
    first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
    I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
    Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
    My approach is like..
    1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
    START--> pressed
    2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
         read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
         Step 2.. continously..
    3. STOP--> pressed
         until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
    Question is:
    1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
    2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
    please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hello,
    I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
    ---master.java---------------------------------------------------
    import java.sql.*;
    import...
    public class Master {
    public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
    //create connection pool here
    while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
    // set values of variables
    // select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
    execute selected slave program
    // check for loop exit value
    } // end while loop
    System.out.println("Program Complete");
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error: " + e);
    } finally {
    if (rSet1 != null)
    try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
    connection.close();
    -------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
    This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
    I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
    Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Need help with PDF/X-1a

    I am beyond frustrated here so I hope someone can help me!!!! Ii have Adobe 8 Standard and I can't find the PDF/X-1a in my distiller. I need this particular preset to upload a book cover. The website won't accept any other format. The only thing I have in my distiller is PDF/A-1b.
    Does anyone know where I can get the correct distiller? Everyone I know with Adobe 8 has the PDF/X-1a in their options and they don't remember having to do anything special to get it.

    Assuming you have Acrobat installed, it would not hurt to verify compliance after the document is created. With the doc open (on my vesion 9) Advanced > Print Production > Preflight > PDF/X Compliance > Verify compliance with PDF/X-1a  hit analyze
    Note that a document must have a Title in the Title box under Document > Properties (ctrl+d) to pass X-1a and, for whatever reason, analyze and fix cannot add this.
    And I'm far from the resident expert here..

  • Need help with blown out highlights please

    Hi.  I am not very good with Photoshop and need some help on how to fix the blown out highlight areas of this photo, please.  I've spent the past couple of hours trying to figure this out and have not found a good technique yet.  Any help will be most appreciated.

    First brighten the shot up using an adjustment layer and then brush your highlights back to where they are now. the fact your shot looks so dark,makes the bright areas more noticeable. if they are totally blown in the original,you cant get detail where it does not exist, but making the overall image brighter visually should help in my opinion.

  • Help with a mask problem, please.

    I spent many hours creating intricate masks for a uni assignment (due on Monday). Both of these masks only half work.
    An example is a mask of a tree with many branches, designed so that huge colourful flies fly ‘behind’ these branches. The trouble is that the mask works in some areas and not in others…?
    I don’t understand how this could happen, as each mask is on its own layer and each partially works.
    The ‘fly’ is sometimes visible when it should be, but not at other times (when it should be).
    I’ve tried everything I can think of trying – changing the colours of the mask (no good), I even converted a copy of it to a bitmap in desperation (no good).
    While I was constructing the masks Flash crashed on numerous occasions. Could this have had a negative affect?
    Can anyone help…please?

    You need to ask in the Flash Professional forum. You CANNOT edit any Flash content with the Player.
