PDF barcode form input in Acrobat Reader

I have tried to create a barcode form by using the acrobat professional XI, all user input will be rendered into a QR code in the PDF form.
Problem now is:
If i distribute this barcode form to user without Acrobat Professional XI (i.e. they may be using Adobe Reader X to input the form), the barcode cannot be generated base on the user input and disappear.
Any idea how to resolve this or any configuration need to be done?

You need LiveCycle to apply the extended rights for barcoded forms

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

How to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

how to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

I've found in Pdf's many time when you go to Optimize a PDF and look at the font list there are often up to a 1/2dozen copies of a given font, say Helvetica, then that many Helvetica Bold, or Arial or Ariel Italic
What I do ie remove from list all but one copy of each different font. often dramatically reduces the size. also something lese is Flattening images will in some cases reduce a file size. I have run into a case where it actually made a PDF Larger.

Help me configure my webserver to accept completed .pdf forms via free Acrobat Reader

OK, just purchased Acrobat Pro XI subscription, I have already created the following .pdf at the link below:
http://www.pdfdoctor.net/eca/creditapp004_02.pdf
on the last page I have a Submit button, that will send/upload the completed .pdf to my web server, the .pdf is working fine, I just need help configuring my server to accept the file submissions itself, such as the following:
1. what should be the directory file permissions?
2. do I need a htaccess file in that directory or in my main root directory and what should be in it, I HAVE NO IDEA, once I get this working then I will be set, please help, thankyou.

Submitting in HTML format is useful if you're only interested in the form data, but since your form includes digital signature fields, you will want to submit the entire PDF. Using multiple digital signature fields intended for different signers doesn't make much sense for a web form, unless you intend to serve a form that was signed by one person to then be signed by another.
If submitting the entire PDF, the script can save the entire incoming POSTed data to a file somewhere, in addition to all of the security-related things it needs to handle, and then return a response. As mentioned earlier, it is usually best if this response is an FDF. Here's a link to an introduction to some of the basic concepts: Working with Form Data in Acrobat X | Acrobat Community TV | Adobe TV
starting at the 9:50 mark. It deals with submitting in HTML format, but it should get you started.

Cannot open PDF file after update to Acrobat Reader 11.0.1 / 10.1.5

I receive faxes from a service in the form of PDF files. Up until today, I have been able to open them with no problem using Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 and lower.
Today, I updated Acrobat Reader to 10.1.5, and it's suddenly unable to open any of those files. I tried uninstalling 10.1.5 and installing 11.0.1, and the same problem exists.
I also tried a computer with 11.0.0 that had not yet updated, and it works fine.
Apparently, it's something about this latest update.
The PDF files open in other viewers like Foxit, Sumatra, and Chrome with no problem.
Here is the error:
The offending file can be gotten from here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24145333/Cisco_fax.pdf
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
/Mike

Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
"We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01). This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

Clear Form button on Acrobat Reader

Just wanted to find out if there has been an update for the Acrobat Reader latest version for the IPAD for a Form that opens on Your IPAD. Your Submit button works, but the Clear Form button will not work on an IPAD. Are you able to tell me when this might be done for the IPAD. It is a crucial button needed on Forms that are opened on an IPAD.

Here's a recent discussion about this, with some input by someone from Adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1356621

Difference between opening pdf in IE and from Acrobat Reader?

What is the difference between opening a pdf straight from a link in IE and going file open in Acrobat Reader, does one use the settings in IE and one use the settings in Acrobat Reader? I have a problem with some files on a company website which take a very long time to download when you click on them to open from IE but when they are saved to disk and then opened they are fine?
Using Acrobat Reader 9.0 with windows XP SP2
PS opening the file from the website works find with Adobe Acrobat 8 but not with 9.....

Not sure about the exact differences but loading pdf files to view in a browser seems to have a high overhead (as in memory required to load and display the file). For that reason I prefer to view all pdf's in the reader. It's just quicker to load and smoother when scrolling to read.

Interactive PDFs won't scale in Acrobat Reader

Once I create an interactive PDF using InDesign CS5 and view it in Acrobat Reader 10, the functionality works fine but when I scale the page size in Acrobat Reader from 100% to larger or smaller, the interactive elements stay at 100% and are cropped when the scale is smaller and have a large space around them when the scale is larger.
Is there an export feature that allows the interactive elements to scale with the page size? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks.

How did you create it? There was a known issue with the original release of CS5 but that was supposed to be fixed with one of the patches. If you're on CS5 then you should make sure you're fully patched to 7.0.3.

Unable to open two PDF's at once in Acrobat Reader 9.1.1

Hello:
We are having problems at the company I work at when trying to two PDF's at once. When the second one is opened, it reboots the computer. There are no errors showing in Event Viewer. There are no firewalls that would be causing this issue.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

I can't see the contents of some PDF's since I installed Acrobat Reader X

My OS is Windows 7 Pro
The PDF's are good because in MS Outlook 2010 (preview) or with earlier versions of Acrobat (Acrobat 9 or less) I see correctly the document.
These PDF's are created automatically by external sites (eg home banking) and contains text (showing bank transfers or extracts)
Can Anyone help-me, I don't want to install a older version of acrobat but I can´t see other solution
Regards and thanks

I, I have the Acrobat Reader X, its completely Updated
Thanks for the help. I already try to change the parameter
Try Edit>Preferences>General>Application startup and deselect "Enable protected mode at startup."
But with the some results, the reader doesn’t say anything and show a blank screen.
It's very strange.

Opens pdf with windows media not acrobat reader

When I try to read PDF files, windows media opens not Acrobat reader, although I have checked acrobat reader to open these files.

fwiw - A combination of Acrobat / Adobe Reader that are not the same release is not recommended/supported by Adobe.
As long as you have to use Acrobat 9 it'd be best to stay with Adobe Reader 9.
Good to know is that the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013 and is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

How to Print a PDF file and Close the ACrobat Reader opened using WEBUTIL

Hi All,
I have used WEBUTIL successfully and printed files using webutil_host.nonblocking builtin. What happens is that after printing the file the Acrobat reader stays on the desktop of the client PC. How to close that file opened programmatically. I am unable to close it using any any commands or using following builtins from WEBUTIL.
WEBUTIL_HOST.RELEASE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID)
WEBUTIL_HOST.TERMINATE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID);My command to directly call the Acrobat reader file and print it is by using this command.
M_STR_COMMAND := 'cmd.exe /c start AcroRd32.exe /t '||CHR(34)||FILE_STR_PATH||'\'||FILE_NAME||CHR(34)||' '||CHR(34)||PRINTER_NAME||CHR(34);Help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

To draw in the pdf using pen tool in acrobat reader x

hi im using the app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:InkMenuItem"); in the javascript of textbox in acrobat pro 9. When i click the text box pen tool is activated and im able to sign in that textbox.
But in acrobat reader 10.1.2 when i click the textbox its not working . i.e (app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:InkMenuItem"); ) is not executing . Is there any other command to get pen tool in acroabat reader x.

Actaully this code is printing a flower using ink tool. can to modify this
code so that instead of printing it should display inktool by using which i
draw my own sign or image etc.
var inch =72, x0 =2* inch, y0=4*inch;
var scaledInch=.5*inch;
var nNodes=60;
var theta=2*Math.PI/nNodes;
var points =new Array();
for(var i=0;i<=nNodes;i++)
Theta =i*theta;
points[i]=[x0+2Math.cos(3Theta)Math.cos(Theta)scaledInch,
y0+2Math.cos(3Theta)Math.sin(Theta)scaledInch];
var annto= this.addAnnot(

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

Submitted form emtpy under Acrobat Reader 9 (Mac OS X only)

Hi
I have a problem sending a form by a submit button (also by scripting) to a webserver. I'd like to submit the form as a PDF (not FDF or anything else).
I either used a submit button or code like below:
> this.submitForm({ cURL: "sample.org/inbox", cSubmitAs: "PDF"});
The submit itself seems to work fine, but the submitted form is not posted as a document, but only the request with empty body is sent.
b This only happens on Adobe Reader 9 on Mac OS X!
The same document sent on a Windows Adobe Reader 8/9 works fine and sends the entire document.
This thread is related to http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6abf5, but I now realized the problem appears only under Mac OS X and not under Windows.
Did anybody make similar experiences or has a solution for the problem? Is it maybe a security thing?
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Hi Onewizard,
I tried and checked this on different version of Acrobat and Reader however not able to replicate this behavior. I am on MAC 10.6.8
