Acrobat 9.3.2 Pdf opening without data. Is this a bug ?

In previous versions till Acrobat 9.3.1, opening a fdf file containing data would open the corresponding pdf with data already populated.
However in 9.3.2, pdf opens without data. Below are steps to create sample Pdf and Fdf to reproduce the issue
1. Create a pdf file with 2 text fields and save the same.
2. Populate some data in them and generate the corresponding FDF by exporting the data from the menu Forms->Manage Form Data->Export Data.
2. Close the Pdf without saving.
3. Now double click the fdf created in step 2. Pdf opens without the data.
4. Repeat the step 3 in Acrobat 9.3.1, Pdf opens with data populated.
Let me know how to attach my sample Pdf and Fdf as attachments are not allowed in this mail.
Has anyone else also experienced the same issue and whether this is a bug in Acrobat 9.3.2?

Glad it helped; (for any nit-pickers out there I should have typed 8.2.2, sorry).
There are others with similar issues:-

Acrobat 8 Pro will not open without other Adobe Suite program running

I am running Acrobat Pro 8 on a new Mac (OS X 10.5.4) and it used to work just fine without CS3 installed. Now, all of a sudden (without me changing anything) it refuses to open a pdf saying that another Adobe Suite program must be open for acrobat to run. Don't have any other programs installed to open, really annoying because I want to read pdfs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is odd. Normally you get that message if, and only if, Creative
Suite is installed. In the case where Creative Suite is installed, you
have to run some other CS application, once, to get the licensing
done.
Maybe someone installed a demo of CS3, something like that. Check for
other Creative Suite applications, even if they weren't expected.

Default initial view that applies to all PDFs opened

Is it possible to set a default PDF initial view that applies to every pdf opened, regardless of the source of the pdf? Simply put, I want to have the initial view of EVERY pdf I open to be at 100% zoom and no bookmark panel. Obviously this can be done manually every time I open a pdf, which will then reopen with those settings. It seems logical that I should be able to set a default initial view that will apply to any pdf I open and not require me to manually set every one. I've tried every option noted in all the forums I have found, using prologue and epilogue, file>properties, edit>preferences, action wizard. It all boils down to this...I don't want to manually set anything. I want to open pdf documents in the initial view I prefer.

I have spend a great deal of time researching this exact question. What I have found is that essentially the answer is "no". I have come up with a workaround that isn't painless, but it gets the results I want without having to touch every pdf after it is opened.
I set up an Action in Acrobat that has the options I want (page and 100% with no bookmark panel open) and run it against pdfs in a specified directory. It sets all initial views for any pdf in the directory to what I want. The action can also be run against any directory or file, but for my purposes I find doing it in a sort of "batch" mode works best. To set the Action:
     1.     Open Acrobat (with no other pdfs open)
     2.     File >Action Wizard>Create New Action
     3.     On right panel set
                         Start with:     "Ask When Action is Started"
                         Save to:          "The Same Folder Selected at Start", check "Overwrite existing Files"
                                             (if you plan to run this action against a directory as I am)
     4.     From left panel
                         Select Document Processing>Set Open Options
     5.     In right panel click on "Options" for the step you just created and set the initial view you desire
     6.     Save
When you want to use the action you can access it from Acrobat opening window or any pdf file you currently have open.
Another alternative is to use Distiller with epilogue.ps or prologue.ps to append this initial view to any document created. As I don't create many pdfs, it didn't really help with what I wanted to do. .

PDF opens blank window

I have an application that opens pdf in an iframe. There are several pdfs that are opening fine. However, after the most recent Reader 10.1 upgrade, a particular pdf is showing a blank frame. The pdfs stream data from the server and display the populated pdf.
The pdf opens up fine the first time it is opened. The second time it is opened, it displays a blank frame. I have waited 10 minutes for it and nothing displays. If anything, it should open faster the second time. If I shut down IE and reopen, it again works the first time and then it fails the subsequent times. If this is not the first pdf opened when IE is brought up, then it shows the blank frame when you open this pdf.
The pdf data is streamed from the server.
There is a link on the site to open the pdf. The link opens up an input dialog. After filling in a couple of fields in the dialog and hitting OK, the pdf opens. I mention this because there are other pdfs in the site that do not take input; these pdfs open directly from a link; these stream data from the server; and these pdfs open fine every time I open them.Windows XP Service Pack 3, IE 7, Adobe Reader 10.1
This pdf was working fine in Reader X and previous versions of Reader.
This pdf works fine in Windows 7, IE 8 and IE 9.
This pdf works fine in Windows XP, IE 8.
Can someone help me figure out what is causing this pdf to fail?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

Several PDFs open even if just one is wanted

Hi!
For quite a few users here where I work it happens that when double-clicking a PDF in the Finder to open it in Acrobat, not only that PDF opens but a lot (50 or so) other PDFs that has been opened previously.
Is it is now I tell people to wait for all PDFs to open and then option/alt-click the close button to close all windows in one go. Doing this seems to help at least temporarily.
What is the cause for this and how can it be avoided?
The Creative Suite is deployed via a deployment solution (FileWave) so the software isn't really installed in a ”normal” way. I don't know it that's got anything to do with this behavior.

I believe an update fixed this issue.

ITunes will not open in Windows 7 for one User. All I get is the Licence Agreement pane and when I click YES nothing further happens. I have set up a second user and iTunes opens without problem in that User window.

Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.

PDF Open Parameters (HAND)

In my application I open pdf in new window using PDF open parameters. In this when PDF document open in new window I want to set hand as default cursor. I have gone through all PDF open parameters but I haven't got any parameters for default cursor.
So can any body tell me is there any pdf open parameter or any way to set hand as default cursor?

It's expected behavior in DW. Since you're referencing a full
URL, DW can't
see that when testing for broken links within a locally
defined site. Due to
Adobe's and MS unwillingness to communicate...you're stuck
with this
approach until the path issues get resolved.

Idoc without Data records

Hi All,
Recently, an Idoc got created in my system without data records.This Idoc got created by an output type.Now this is creating problems while we try to process the same output type again.The error we are getting is "IDoc 0000000143123223 does not exists".I debugged and figured this is because there is no data segments.
I tried to delete the Idoc and change the status of the Idoc.But its giving same error as Idoc does not exist.Please let me know how to delete or change the status of the idoc.
Thanks,

Hi Karthik,
Just check on the field date, this request delivery date in CRM.
Does it come from date profile? If it does, then try to remove the
date rule or any default value for this date.
Alternatively, I am afraid you have to separately save the date
after first IDOC document creation is done. Seems that the default
value taken place (and replaced) after the document has created.
Hope this helps.

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Cannot get Acrobat Reader or Pro to open PDF IN FF browser

I have a Win7, 64 bit laptop. I have Acrobat Pro X, and Acrobat Reader 11.
I cannot get FF to open a pdf using either of these readers INSIDE the browser. I do not like the internal PDF viewer and I was trying to get Acrobat to render the PDF in the browser. However, whenever I choose acrobat (either one) in options, it will merely download it and open it the application. However, what I want it to do is to open it IN the browser, not in the application.
There is no option for Portable Document Format that includes Acrobat in browser. I had configured it to work properly, but I had to reformat my computer and I can't get it to work again. I have disabled and re-enabled the add-ins for Acrobat, and I still can't get it to work.

Which version(s) of Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat do you have? Do you know whether they are up-to-date? I recommend using the product's Help menu to Check for Updates to make sure they are up-to-date.
Then open the Firefox Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Look in the lower section (gray background) for "Adobe Acrobat" and change it from "Never Activate" to "Always Activate".
Then it should become available in the Options dialog.
Does it work?
Also, I noticed you have a NitroPDF plugin listed in your More System Details. In case that one is conflicting, if you don't plan to use it, consider switching it to "Never Activate" when you are on the Add-ons page.

Acrobat stops working when multiple PDFs are opened together, is this a bug?

Not sure this is the correct thread but then none of the threads are obviously the correct place for this question. I am running W7 last updated a week ago so it should be running all the correct progs and drivers. Acrobat XI Pro is Version 11.0.10, I have thought about updating to DC but I'm about to transfer the progs to my portable as I travel widely and don't currently see the point.
I have just started to notice that if I drag a single file from file manager to an open Acrobat window it opens without error but when I highlight more than one file and drag them across they open, then while the final file is displaying itself on the screen Acrobat throws a wobbly and stops working. Is this a known bug? Happens every time I open 2 files. Windows has been restarted from scratch and it still happens. Happens whether I highlight the files in file manager then <right click> Open With Adobe Acrobat XI or whether I drag the files across to an open window. Happens whether Acrobat is already open or when it is closed. Happens with more than 2 files as well.
I have noticed that file manager does take a while to display a preview of the file when the preview pane is open and thought that it might be the preview pane that is causing problems. I then closed the preview pane and opened 3 files without a problem, then opened 8 files at the same time and the programme fell apart again. Could be to do with the Microsoft File Manager but I'm interested to know if this is a common problem or not? I did a search on file opening errors in the Acrobat forum without success so am assuming it is unusual.

Thanks, seems to solve some of the problem, perhaps I need to uncheck more in this dialogue box... May be 'a' correct answer but not the complete solution. Anyway if all I need to do is uncheck a choice in a dialogue box then it must be a bug or driver incompatability as there seems to be no reason why I shouldn't be able to use 2D graphics acceleration.
Works if you highlight several PDFs in File Manager and then right click and 'Open with Adobe Acrobat', the error still occurs if I drag these files into an open instance of Acrobat beyond two files. Also seems to be more of a problem if one of the files is a 'colour document ' or 'greyscale document' scanned by Acrobat itself.

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

Acrobat 8 & Acrobat Reader 8 slow to open PDFs across WAN

I'm currently having a really strange problem with the users in one of my offices when they attempt to open PDFs with either Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 or Acrobat Reader 8.1.2. These users are connecting across a WAN via a point-to-point T1 to the main location to open these PDFs. Some are nearly 8MB and yet Acrobat Reader 8 launches and displays them in about five seconds. Literally. Yet other files, around 2.5-3MB, take about a minute to a minute and a half to open. I know the larger PDFs were created with software not from Adobe, but instead were created using this PDF printer driver made by Iteksoft. It seems the Iteksoft app creates them in such a way that AcroRead can launch and then begin displaying the file even though I know there's no way an 8MB file has copied across the WAN in just a few seconds. However, the other PDFs apparently don't have that "feature" and so the entire file must be copied before AcroRead launches. Interestingly enough, when the users had AcroRead 7 or Acrobat Pro 6 all files opened "quickly" so something has changed in Acrobat/Acrobat Pro 8 in how the app opens PDFs.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Joe

Ok, so they are being opened directly in Acrobat/Reader.
In this case, Acrobat (or Reader) doesn't need to read the whole file
in the general case. A PDF file contains a large number of objects
describing what is on the pages, and the other aspects of the file.
There is an index to these objects.
So Acrobat starts by reading the index, then reads what it needs.
In some cases it may have to read next to nothing, to show the first
page of a document of many pages. In other cases it will have to read
all of the file, because (perhaps) it has one page and so everything
needed has to be read to show you that page.
The amount of data read has very little relation to the file size
(except that it should be no more than the file size). You have to
look at how the file is made up (e.g. page count? What is on pages?)
to go further.
