No Preview PDF tab in LiveCycle Designer

I have both LiveCycle Designer ES3 and Adobe Pro 11 installed on my computer. I am unable to select the Preview PDF option from the View menu item and there is no Preview PDF tab next to the Design View tab like there used to be. I can't recall what could have happened, but I know I had it before.
All I can find when I search on this issue is that I must have both LiveCycle and Adobe Pro or Adobe Reader installed. Like I said, I have Adobe Pro, so that isn't the issue.
Can anyone help?
thanks.
Amy

Thanks. I tried that and it did not work. Ultimately I fixed it by uninstalling Reader and installing the latest version.

  • Preview PDF tab unavailable on Designer 9 with Reader 9

    Hello,
    I just begin learning LifeCycle and I have a problem viewing the preview PDF tab in the designer.
    The problemlooks the the same as discribed ther : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331391.html
    But, I checked the solution and the check box they suggest to check is already checked.
    Can someone help me ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    In this situation it sometimes helps to open Reader (or Acrobat) first AND THEN open LC Designer.
    Not a full solution. If you search the forum, people have proposed more robust solutions.
    Good luck,

  • Preview PDF crashes in LiveCycle Designer

    I'm new to LiveCycle designer and PDF development and am working through the first LiveCycle Designer tutorial. When I click on Preview PDF, LiveCycle crashes -
    MicroSoft Visual C++ Runtime Library -
    This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I am running on Windows 7, have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Reader 9.4.0 installed.

    Thanks. I tried that and it did not work. Ultimately I fixed it by uninstalling Reader and installing the latest version.

  • Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

    We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
    Any ideas, anyone?!?

    Hi,
    Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
    Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
    Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
    Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
    Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

  • Preview PDF Tab Doesn't Work

    I have two installations of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro / LiveCycle Designer.  The preview tab doesn't work on either installation for LiveCycle Designer.
    My first machine is running XP Pro SP3 32-bit. When I click on the Preview PDF tab it previews, but I can't enter data into the fields when working on a static or dynamic pdf.
    The other machine is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  When I click on the Preview PDF tab it the machine tries to open the preview up in Adobe Reader, but never actually opens.
    What should I check?  Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I don't have the Windows 7 machine in front of me to test this on, but the XP machine behaves the same if I open up Reader or Acrobat before I click Preview PDF in LiveCycle. 

  • Why can't I import a .txt file to a PDF created in Livecycle Designer?

    I am trying to import data into a PDF, simple stuff like names and addresses. I've saved my spreadsheet as a tab delimited .txt file, but when i go to import data in the PDF, .txt files are not an option. Is there a setting in Livecycle or in Acrobat that I haven't found?

    Is there a way for me to import the data to a PDF created in LiveCycle designer?

  • Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    Hi,
    Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
    There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
    Some info here:
    http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
    A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
    Hope that helps,

  • Creating PDF forms in LiveCycle Designer 8.0

    I post detail at Software
    nha khoa Group
    Question on a quirk I have noticed when creating a form using LiveCycle Designer 8 and was wondering if there was a way to change this.
    I will use a Text Field for an area where I want the person who will fill out the form to add comments/questions. I widen the box out so the user will have area to type their comments in.
    In the properties of for that Text Field, on the "Object" tab I check the box to allow multiple lines and I limit the length to the visible area.
    That all works fine. The quirk is when I test the form and then click in that area to type for the text field the cursor always starts in the middle of that Text Field area. Is there a way to get the cursor to start at the top of the text box when someone fills out the form?

  • Embed webquery in PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

    Dear BI Gurus,..Pls. help !!!!
    We have  NW2004s with Portal and ADS installed
    Is it currently possible to embed BW objects like query results and Documents into PDF, may  be using Adobe LiveCycle Designer to design a pixel-perfect layout?
    So for e.g. an A4 size PDF would have several query results and may be also a document or a chart , and these objects can be manually arranged in A4 size layout.
    Is there an option to achive this by some kind of webdynpro programming?
    I would give best points to you !!
    Thanks in advance

    Kamakshi,
    First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
    You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
    Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
    Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField")

  • Cannot Distribute PDF created in Livecycle Designer ES

    I have created a form in Livecycle Designer ES.  Why can I not distribute the form when opened in Acrobat Pro 9.

    Hi,
    You should be able to from the Forms menu.
    I can't do a screenshot now but this should help: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WSE8580964-0716-4452-BA8D-EA9AAD3F609 1.html.

  • Editable pdf created in LiveCycle Designer 8

    I've created a seven page form in which I can embed photographs for site visit documentation. The form consists of multiple pages each with two image fields per page. The pdf form works great, but at times, not all seven pages are needed. I need to be able to delete extra pages before inserting this form into a report. What are my options?

    Adobe's LiveCycle Form Server might help with this objective. I think.

  • Created an Adobe PDF form via LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, used the New Form Assistant, prob w/ email

    I created a form to be distributed, filled in and emailed back to me for my company.
    It has been working fine, but now I need to change the email address where it will be sent when the user clicks the "Submit Form" button. How?
    All I need to do is change this email address, everything else is set.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    My experience is that re-running the Distribute Form does not allow you to change the options you get on first run.
    To correct this you need open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and go to Edit > Preferences and select the identity category.  The email address can be changed there.
    Further, when I ran Distribute Form, it made some other changes to the PDF too, because the Email submit button in my form does not work any longer in Adobe Reader.  Clicking it simply prompts to save a local copy of the PDF. The submit still works in Acrobat Pro, but this is useless for a distributed form.
    It seems odd that Distribute form make changes to a form which seemingly cannot be undone or further require the use of another product to change.
