Problem with Reader file when we try to save a pdf version of filled in file.

We currently create fillable forms in Acrobat XI and enable them for fill-in with Acrobat Reader.  Our end users are able to key information and save it to the enabled pdf file with Reader, but they want to create a protected version of the form so nothing can be modified once they have approved it.  They have been creating "locked" pdf versions of the completed form using CutePdf software.  The PDF files they are creating open fine with Acrobat Pro XI or our free FoxIT reader, but when we try to open the files they created with CutePDF with Acrobat Reader, they are quite distorted.  According to users, this worked with older versions of Acrobat Reader.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions (other than switching from Acrobat Reader to the free FoxIT reader.
Thanks for the help!!

Can't endorse FoxIt or CutePDF, since I don't use either of them, and Adobe doesn't like us endorsing thrid party products in their forums anyway. On top of that I know several people who had really bad adware experiences with FoxIt, so I'd say stay away from it.
Most likely neither of these software developers has updated THIER software to work with Acrobat/Reader XI and the problem lies with them, since PDF is an Adobe format and they must follow the lead from here, not vice-versa.

  • I am having a printing problem with reader xi when i try to print a pdf file?

    can anyone point me in the right dirrection to fix this?
    thanks...

    After a great deal of confusion,  I got to the right page in the help files. What I have to do to print PDF's, for I have no clue what reason, is on this page, under the "windows only" section.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/reader/using/print-pdfs.html#why_can_t_i_print_my_document
    The basic is:  right click on the non-printing document, select document properties, then advanced;  if "protected mode" is "on", then..... click "edit" on the document, "preferences", and turn off the "enable protected mode" icon at the top of the mega-list that appears,  click ok, close Reader, then reopen Reader and the pdf document, and miraculously, the "Print" icon at the top of the page will allow printing! 

  • When I try to save a PDF, I get the message "There was a problem reading this document (14)."

    When I try to save a PDF, I get the message "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (14)."
    I receive no other information that helps me debug what the problem is.  The PDF is filled with editing comments.

    MobileMe was terminated on that date and you cannot access your iDisk using the Finder. You should sign out in System Preferences>MobileMe to prevent error messages - it's best to turn of any iDisk or other syncing first.
    There is currently a 'limited' grace period during which you can download files from your iDisk and Gallery, and migrate to iCloud if you haven't already done so. Go to http://me.com and follow the links there. We do not know how long this facility will continue to be available.

  • FM 10: FM crashes when I try to Save as PDF

    I have TCS 3.0 installed on Windows 7, and have been trying to gen a PDF. In FM 7 and 8, I would always do a "Print Setup", followed by a Print Book (both in the File menu). However, in FM 10, I have tried to gen a PDF using the "Save as PDF" option, and Frame crashes every time. But when I try the Print Setup and then Print Book method, I have no problem gen'ing a PDF. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution, or is this a bug in Frame 10 or Acrobat X?
    Thanks for any enlightenment.

    When I try to gen a PDF from a single chapter file, FM crashes. What is interesting is that I get slightly different dialog boxes when I use Save as PDF vs Print Book.
    Save as PDF gives me this dialog, which has the options for "Generate PDF for review only" and "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB".
    However, when I click File > Print Book > PDF Setup..., the dialog looks like this (see below). It does not have the 2 options that the prior dialog does.

    Which system?

    Does restarting Illustrator help?
    Is it only this file or all files?

  • Illustrator hangs or crashes when I try to save as PDF

    I am using Illustrator to creates designs for a Flex app. My document has a lot of symbols, rasterized images and layers (it's about 8.1 MB).
    Illustrator has stopped doing two things that I need it to do:
    1) It just hangs (infinite beachball on OS X) when I try to Save As an "Acrobat Viewable" AI file.
    2) It also hangs (or crashes on my PC) when I try to save as PDF, regardless of the options I choose.
    I can Save or Save As as long as I don't include Acrobat support.
    Any ideas on this? Thanks!

    Started eliminating layers, one by one, and trying a PDF export.
    It hung and hung and hung until I had deleted about 10 first level layers... then it hung for a bit and boom! It exported.
    I went into the original doc and deleted the last layer I had removed from the test doc and it hung as usual.
    My conclusion? No bad objects - just too many layers for Illustrator to handle in a timely manner. I've officially taxed the program, which was totally crashing it on my Windows machine.
    Why so many layers? Since I am skinning a Flex app by exporting a .swf skin file from Illustrator, I have all of the app layouts in one .ai file. This consists of 46 first level layers, and hundreds of secondary and tertiary layers. It also includes a truckload of embedded graphics sprinkled throughout for layout purposes. Plus symbols.
    It's just too much for Illustrator - a program not really designed for this workflow - to handle.
    I don't want to make separate files for each site section as that'd require me to port the symbols back and forth all the time when I make a simple change, like a button style adjustment.
    Any other advice on managing this better is appreciated, but nothing jumps out as an easy and scalable solution.
    Thanks for the help, especially jean.

  • I continually have problems with Firefox freezing when I try to play Farmville or on Pinterest. Have tried suggested fixes.

  • Problem with italic text when saving a pse-project to pdf

    We work with Photoshop Elements 6 and Photoshop Elements 7
    When we save a pse-project (multiple psd-pages) to pdf and use italic text then the letters of the text is disordered in line.
    I have attached a file with two textlayers. In the first layer i've set the word "italic" to italic and the hole layer is bad. The second layer without italic text is good.
    With normal PSD files saved into PDF we have no problems.
    Does anybody knows a work around/patch or know anyone if this only a problem in these old versions?

    Actually any export of PDF page content to another file formate (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) will need touch up / clean up in the native application 99 44/100 ths of the time.
    While a well-formed Tagged PDF (e.g., ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant) can export to Word and call for little to no touch up / clean up PowerPoint is something else.
    In the example the background color, text size, color and postion are well within the ball park. To "fine tune" would (of course) call for post-processing.
    Be well...

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader but when I try to open a pdf document, I'm directed to download Adobe Reader, which I did over and over again. What should I do now?

    I'm having difficulty viewing pdf documents because I'm required to download Adobe Reader.  I did download that application, but the same message recurs repeatedly.  What shall I do to resolve the problem?

    You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • Problem with READ DATASET when reading file from app server

  • Deskjet 3055A shows "problem with tricolour cartridge" when I try to print.

    I am relatively new to the world of wireless printing. The printer is not quite a year old and I've never had problems printing from my iPad before. I have removed and replaced the cartridge but still the same message!

    I should have asked this from start,  Does The Black Ink Work?...... Not true, its an "estimated ink level" So it may be empty. BUT Now i know your not dealing with a NEW one. There is a few thing you can try. go to you "toolbox" command under your printer icon and run a cleaner for cartridge's (or similar command), also take it back out and (with again a soft thing) clean off the silver rectagle slot on the bottom (it will leave color on the soft thing you using to clean it with) just in case it has dryed up ink stuck on it from sitting. If that one is also used do the same... or spend the 20 some bucks for a new one just to see what happens. Hope this helps you out.
    Thank's, Cotton

  • I am not able to open the.json file when I try to save my bookmarks.

    I tired to back up my files but it does not open in any program.
    In addition, I downloaded the AOL toolbar and spent an hour putting my information I wanted on the toolbar and then the tool bar disappeared.

    JSON files aren't meant to be opened directly. When you back up your bookmarks, the JSON file that is created can be used to restore that backup or to move your bookmarks to another computer. You do that by opening the Library window ("Show all bookmarks"), clicking on "Import and Backup -> '''Restore'''" option and choosing that backup file. See this article for details:

  • Problem with FLVPlayer in Flash CS3 (need to save out as Actionscript 3.0 SWf file)

    I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that
    makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file
    to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my
    publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep
    getting an error as follows:
    "WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript
    2.0."
    Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm
    pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only
    beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
    I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent
    my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for

    >

    Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
    changed the
    publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
    version of the
    FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
    Start over and
    compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
    one for AS2.
    Open the Components panel and note the differences between
    the two. There
    are a different set of Components depending on the language
    chosen for the
    document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
    panel in an
    AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

  • My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

    my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

    Details please
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
    i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
    Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
    my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
    where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
    originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
    Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
    also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
    This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
    By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
    I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
    Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here  --  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US   --     and   --    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html   ---
