Acrobat 9: Error when PDF form submit with file attachment

Hi all,
Hope you can provide some help with my PDF form submit issue. I am getting this error "There is no PDDoc associated with this CosDoc." in Acrobat 9 (Reader and Pro) when I try to submit a PDF form with a file attachment field (the file is specified). The same PDF form works fine in Acrobat 7 or 8 (Reader and Pro) with file attachment.
If no file attachment is specified (user did not select a file) then the PDF form submits fine in acrobat 9. The form data submission format is in FDF. Same problem if I change to XFDF.
There are no differences in the problem if the PDF form is created in Acrobat 7 or Acrobat 9, the same submit issue exists in Acrobat 9 but not in the older Acrobat versions.
Is this a known issue and are there any workarounds/solutions?
Thanks.

Sounds like a bug to me. Please report it: http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html

  • Multipart/form-data and file attachment

    Hi ,
    This question has probably been asked before, but if not then here it is. Any replies will be appreciated:
    Q. When using "Enctype=Multipart/form-data", with file attachment alongwith other form fields, is it mandatory to attach a file ? What if user selects no file to attach?
    Q. If no, then how can it be possible that a form can be submitted without attaching a file since when I try to submit a form with no file attached to it, it gives me error message saying :java.lang.NullPointerException
    Q. Does it mean that I can't have a form with a blank "File" input field, if the form's Enctype is "multipart/form-data"? Since users may not select a file to attach to the form, in other words it is an optional.
    I hope I was clear enough in explaining my questions.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am using Orielly's file attachement pacakge.
    Here's what I am doing in my JSP page: It does the following:
    int maxFileSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 5MB max
    String uploadDir = "/direct/files/upload/";
    String FormResults = "";
    String FileResults = "";
    String fileName = "";
    String fileName2 = "";
    String paramName="";
    String paramValue="";     
    File f;
    int filecounter=1;
    first get the form fields using following code:
    MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, uploadDir, maxFileSize);
    Enumeration params = multi.getParameterNames();
    //Get the form information
    while (params.hasMoreElements())
         paramName = (String) params.nextElement();     
         paramValue = multi.getParameter(paramName);
         if (paramName.equals("emailconfirm"))
              emailconfirmation = paramValue;
         else if (paramName.equals("Requester"))
              Requester = paramValue;
         else if (paramName.equals("TodaysDate"))
              TodaysDate = paramValue;
         else if (paramName.equals("Extension"))
    }//end while
    Then it gets the file information using the following code: I have two file fields in my form so that's why I am using a filecounter to find out if user has attached two files or just one:
    Enumeration files = multi.getFileNames();
    while (files.hasMoreElements())
         String formName = (String) files.nextElement();
         if (filecounter == 2)
    fileName2 = multi.getFilesystemName(formName);
         String fileType = multi.getContentType(formName);
              f = multi.getFile(formName);
         FileResults += "<BR>" + formName + "=" + fileName2 + ": Type= " + fileType + ":
    Size= " + f.length();
         else
         {     fileName = multi.getFilesystemName(formName);
              String fileType = multi.getContentType(formName);
              f = multi.getFile(formName);
              FileResults += "<BR>" + formName + "=" + fileName + ": Type= " + fileType + ":
    Size= " + f.length();
         filecounter=filecounter+1;
    Then after composing the mail message I send email with the form fields and file attachments using following code:
    Properties props = new Properties();
    MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
    MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
    MimeBodyPart mbp3 = new MimeBodyPart();
    URLDecoder urlDecoder = new URLDecoder();
    String to1 = urlDecoder.decode(toemail);
    String from1 = urlDecoder.decode(fromemail);
    String cc1 = urlDecoder.decode(ccemail);
    props.put( "mail.host", host );
    Session session1 = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
    // Construct the message
    Message msg = new MimeMessage( session1 );
    msg.setFrom( new InternetAddress( from1 ) );
    msg.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse( to1, false ) );
    msg.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse( cc1, false ) );
    msg.setSubject( subject );
    msg.setHeader( "X-Mailer", "ExceptionErrorMail" );
    msg.setSentDate( new Date() );
    mbp1.setText(mail_message);
    mbp1.setContent(mail_message, "text/html");
    // Send the email message
    FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(uploadDir + fileName);
    FileDataSource fds2 = new FileDataSource(uploadDir + fileName2);
    mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
    mbp3.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds2));
    mbp2.setFileName(fileName);
    mbp3.setFileName(fileName2);
    Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
    mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
    mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
    mp.addBodyPart(mbp3);
    msg.setContent(mp);
    Transport.send( msg );
    //email sent...
    //delete the two files from the server..
    File f2 =new File(uploadDir + fileName);
    f2.delete();
    File f3 =new File(uploadDir + fileName2);
    f3.delete();     
    //End of code
    So when I don't attach a file and submit my form , I get the error message that I mentioned in my previous post.
    Any more ideas?

    Delete preview cache - that should solve the problem.
    It's the .lrdata folder in with your catalog, named something like "My Catalog Previews.lrdata".
    Delete entire .lrdata folder, making sure you get the one in the same folder as the catalog you're opening. Do not delete anything else, and if you have something like "My Catalog Smart Previews.lrdata" - that's not it.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
    When Lr comes up, consider initiating whole-catalog building of standard previews (Library -> Previews menu), lest you be "forever" greeted by temporarily gray thumbnails and "loupe loading" indicator in the future..

  • ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users

    ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users
    I have a form that has a block that should display some data from another users tables. (The other user's name is dynamic, it's selected from a list box)
    I wrote a stored procedure to get the data from other user's tables.
    When I compile the form and run it with the same user I compiled, it works without any error. But when I run the compiled form with another user I get the ORA-04062 (signature of procedure has been changed) error.
    I tried setting REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE to SIGNATURE in init.ora but it didn't help.
    My Forms version is 6i with Patch 15.
    Database version is 9.
    Here is my stored procedure:
    TYPE Scenario_Tab IS TABLE OF NUMBER(34) INDEX BY BINARY INTEGER;
    TYPE Open_Curs IS REF CURSOR;
    PROCEDURE Get_Scenarios(User_Name IN VARCHAR2, Scen_Table OUT Scenario_Tab) IS
    Curs Open_Curs;
    i NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    OPEN Curs FOR
    'SELECT Seq_No FROM '|| User_Name ||'.scenario';
    i := 1;
    LOOP
    FETCH Curs INTO Scen_Table(i);
    EXIT WHEN Curs%NOTFOUND;
    i := i + 1;
    END LOOP;
    END Get_Senarios;
    I would be happy to solve this problem. It's really important.
    Maybe somebody can tell me another way to do what I want to do. (getting a list of values from another users tables)

    I think it should be a better solution to create a package,
    and put your own TYPES and procedure into it.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_XXX IS
    TYPE TYP_TAB_CHAR IS TABLE OF .... ;
    PROCEDURE P_XX ( Var1 IN VARCHAR2, var2 IN OUT TYP_TAB_CHAR );
    END ;
    Then in your Form :
    Declare
    var PKG_XXX.TYP_TAB_CHAR ;
    Begin
    PKG_XXX.P_XX( 'user_name', var ) ;
    End ;

    Problems converting PDF to MS Word document.  I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file.  I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure.  I attempted to convert the entire document and same result.  I specifically purchased the export to Word feature.  Please assist.  I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,
    I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
    So, let's try this:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Symbol error when submitting form

    experiencing a symbol error when submitting form.

    Hi Gen,
    Unfortunately, the error came from a client who was submitting a form via Mac OS.  He stated that when he attempted to submit he received a symbol error.
    On another note, I did experience issues with periods (.) within another form such as 2009.01 and 2011.25.  When I downloaded the files corresponding to the numbers, it wouldn’t allow me to save it with the period (used an underscore instead).

  • Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

    I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.
    I have uninstalled the DVCPro Codec, but it didn't help.
    I have tried converting the .mov file (which is now automatic in Yosemite) and this creates a ProRes4444 Codec, Again no luck with import.
    I've seen this issue on the web, but never a solution? Anyone?

    Hi Terence,
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!

    Hi...
    I already create the pdf form that contain digital signature field using ACROBAT XPRO...and now i would like to send data from pdf form to fdf file.I already manage to send data from other field except the digital signature.How to send the signature digital value to FDF file so that i can display it back to PDF file next time?Can anyone help me...i really need help right now...
    tq..

    hi....
    thanks for replying..
    George Johnson wrote:
    It did work with earlier versions that did not perform a full save when a signature was applied. Since Acrobat/Reader now do a Save As when a signature is applied, there are no incremental saves to include in the FDF. This can still be useful for forms that haven't been signed, oddly enough, but since you cannot control whether the user performs a full save, it shouldn't be relied on for general use. The big problem is extracting the appended saves from the FDF so you can concatenate it to original document. The FDF Toolkit is the only thing I'm aware of that helps with this.
    as u said that,Fdf tool kits can help to solve my problem.Can u send me the sample of code using java so that i can get the value using Fdf Tool kits?
