Acrobat Reader buttons

My client has a lot of pdfs on their site. They are asking me to post an Acrobat Reader Download button - I never see those anymore - are they still necessary?

Save the image above to your site folder. 
Link it to the Reader download site.

  • My submit button on my PDF form is greyed out (will not work) after posting link to PDF on my WordPress website. It works in Acrobat Reader just fine.

    This is where you can see the form as clicked through to from the WordPress website page:
    http://pinetreeplayers.com/ptp_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/submit-a-play.pdf
    The PDF file was created in Acrobat 11, with a submit button. The submit button is actioned to send the form via email. It works perfectly by itself if the form is opened in Acrobat Reader, but once I upload the PDF to my WordPress site the submit button is greyed out, and will not complete the action to send on-click.
    How can I fix this please - can anyone offer advice?

    Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
    FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
    The internal viewers are created to process PDF documents by not including the features and code to process PDF forms.

  • In Acrobat Reader DC for Android, how do I prevent Verizon Cloud from launching when clicking the floating action button to retrieve files?

    I have a Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy S5, which means a lot of Verizon apps were added from the factory install.
    Recently I upgraded Adobe Acrobat Reader to its most recent version.
    When I clicked on the floating action button to open a PDF, it launched Verizon Cloud instead of showing my file directory.
    Unless I disabled Verizon Cloud altogether, every time I did this, I would get the Verizon Cloud app instead of a file listing.
    Reader DC is the only app that does such a thing. Is this a defect?

    Thanks for the information.
    To remove the Verizon cloud storage from Adobe Acrobat DC application, you can 'Turn off' the Verizon cloud application from 'Settings'-->'Application Manager'-->'All applications'. After doing this, every time you tap on the Floating Action button, you will be presented the list of all your pdf files on your device.
    If you would like to view both the Verizon cloud based files as well as files from your internal memory/SD card, I would request you to download some file manager application from the Google Play Store such as And Explorer, ES File Explorer etc. After doing this, whenever you will tap on the floating action button, you will be provided an option to open the files either from the Verizon cloud or the files on your device.
    Hope this helps. Please let us know if you observe any more issues.
    Thanks.

  • Indesign CS4 button flashes after exported to PDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader/Professional X

    Hey everyone,
    Greetings!
    I've encountered this odd problem when preparing my portfolio.
    I've created some 40 buttons in InDesign CS4 (all according to the official tutorial) to Show/Hide Fields (specificly images), and navigate through the pages.
    The buttons all have their own Normal and Rollover states, but no Click states.
    After exporting the file to PDF, I tested the buttons in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat Pro 9, and both the actions and the states worked fine.
    BUT that's not the case with Acrobat Reader X or Acrobat Pro X.
    The actions are still there, showing the images and navigating, but the states are not!
    The buttons' rollover states just flashes when the mouse hover above them, and even in Normal state, they kept *blinking* randomly.
    Frustrated for a week.
    PS. I suspected and used a Indesign file with only one simple button to rule out the following:
    1. Overlapping buttons
    2. Slow processing due to large image size
    3. Mishandling of transparency
    At this moment I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat thing...Help!

    Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
    Glad to hear it's fixed!

  • Can Designer create a submit button that works in Acrobat Reader

    Just got Adobe Professional 7.0 for Windows XP. Was able to design a form in Professional that works in Acrobat Reader (the majority of my users do not have the full product). To do this I set the email button to export the data in a .fdf format. I received the full form as an attachment in my email.
    I then brought up the form in Designer 7.0 to use its expanded design capability. The button choices for the email submit button did not allow me to select a format and the saved file would not work in Adobe Reader. I then changed the button to a plain button using the submit control type. I found several submit format choices (XML, PDF, etc.). I saved the file in a variety of the choices but could not get Adobe Reader to send the format versions. FDF was not a choice. XML works but I would rather see the full form directly as an email attachment instead of taking the extra step of importing the XML data into the form
    Anybody have a work around?

    Andrej -
    Can you be more specific about what is needed and how to do it? I just downloaded the trial version of Designer and Document Server 6. I've created the form with a submit button but it ain't working.
    I want the "Submit by email" button to do just that - send the viewable .pdf (not just the data).
    To take a step back - I can't even get the darn button to send anything. I have the info entered correctly in Designer but when the buttons clicked, an error msg. reads: "An error occured while sending mail". That tells me a whole lot of nothing. Is it because it's the trial version, or is there something else going on?
    Anyway can you explain how to use Reader Extension Server in conjunction with Designer?
    Thanks -

  • Limiting shown buttons when opening 3D PDF in acrobat reader

    Hi guys.
    I want to create a 3D PDF to be viewed on the web. I don't think that all buttons(rotate, spin, pan, zoom, etc.) in the 3D toolbar are necessary so I would like to choose which buttons will be shown when the user click where it says
    "Click to Activate 3D"
    Is there a way t do this? If so, is there a way to lock those so the user cannot activate them?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    There is an option to manage display of the 3D toolbar whichi only available at the creation of the 3D PDF file (within Acrobat Pro Extended only..):
    Go to Edit/Preferences
    Select a 3D format then press Edit Settings
    Under 3D Panel there is a check box called "Show 3D toolbar by Default" Unselect this option then press OK.
    Convert a 3d file to PDFthen save the file
    Open the PDF within Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro Extended, the 3D toolbar will not be displayed after activating the 3D content..
    Hope this can be helpful
    Best Regards

  • Configure Acrobat Reader tool buttons when Reader is started inside SAP GUI

    Hi,
    we have deployed some registry keys in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGerneral\cToolbars" to show some tool buttons in Acrobat Reader. This works fine when starting Acrobat Reader as standalone application.
    But in SAP GUI the Acrobat Reader starts with default tool buttons.
    Is there a chance to configure the Acrobat Reader tool buttons when the Reader is started inside a SAP GUI session?
    thanks
    Albert

    These are the settings in the registry to show/hide tools in the Adobe Reader 9 toolbar.

    When starting Adobe Reader standalone this works fine.
    But starting Adobe Reader from a SAP GUI Session (for example in transaction CV03N) the default tools will be shown.
    Is there a chance to configure the Acrobat Reader tool buttons when the Reader is started inside a SAP GUI session?
    thanks

  • 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

  • Acrobat Reader XI stürzt jedesmal ab, wenn der 'Vorherige Ansicht' Button geklickt wird

    Hallo,
    der Acrobat Reader XI stürzt jedesmal ab, wenn der Vorherige Ansicht Button geklickt wird (nur bei Sprache=Deutsch!).
    Es soll hier in ein vorheriges verlinktes Dokument gesprungen werden.
    Wird die Tastenkombination alt + nach-links-Taste benutzt, funktioniert es wunderbar.
    Die Funktion fehlte übrigens in der Version X (oder sie war sehr gut versteckt), nachdem diese Funktion bis zur Version 9 ohne Probleme funktionierte.
    So gesehen sind die Versionen X und XI aus meiner Sicht nicht wirklich Weiterentwicklungen und der Spruch einem geschenkten Gaul schaut man nicht ins Maul stimmt nur bedingt.

    Sehr geehter Herr Dörsch,
    zunächtsmal möchte ich mich im voraus für mein mittelmässiges Deutsch entschuldigen, falls Ihnen etwas Eigenartiges vorkommt liegt es daran, dass ich seit Jahren immer nur noch am "Versuchen" bin, Deutsch zu sprechen/lesen/schreiben.  Die meisten Deutschen finden einen netten Weg, das zu übersehen, vielleicht Sie ja auch!
    Könnten Sie mir etwas Näheres über dieses Problem beschildern, und zwar:
    - Betriebssystem-Version komplett mit evt. "sp's" (service patches) beschreiben
    - sind ältere Versionen von Reader oder Acrobat präsent auf Ihr System?
    - wäre es möglich mir "offline" (email o.Ä.) die zwei Dateien zukommenzulassen, woauf dieses Problem sich 100% der Zeit vorkommt
    - wäre es ausserdem mögich die genauen Schritten zu Beschreiben, die unmittelbar vor dem Crash kommt?  Oben beschreiben Sie ja eine Tastenkombination, die zum Absturz führt, aber es wäre auch interessant - insbesondere wenn das Problem NICHT 100% immer vorkommt - zu wissen, welche andere Werkzeuge, Funktionen, Vorgänge usw vorhergekommen sind.
    Können Sie mir ausserdem sagen oder erklären, was dieser Satz bedeutet: "So gesehen sind die Versionen X und XI aus meiner Sicht nicht wirklich Weiterentwicklungen und der Spruch einem geschenkten Gaul schaut man nicht ins Maul stimmt nur bedingt."  Meinen Sie, weil Sie ja diesen Absturz erlebt haben, dass dies die vielen neuen Funktionen, neue UI, neue Tools, usw, in Reader X und Reader XI für Sie völlig negiert sind?
    Vielen Dank im Voraus für Ihre Antwort!

  • How can I create an Acrobat Reader menu command (like "open serachbar") to a button in Indesign?

    In Acrobat Reader this is possible, but I can't find this interactive option in Indesign?!!

    You can't. It has to be done in Acrobat Pro.

  • How to close Acrobat reader with a button inside the document ?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to close acrobat reader using script ?
    Doing this :
    app.execMenuItem("Close");
    will close my document, but not the reader ...
    Any idea ?

    Hi Olivier,
    As you say the close script will close the current document only. It is not possible to script for closing the application (Acrobat or Reader).
    The user has to close the application.

  • Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

    I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome)  -  the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
    "Acrobat plug-in
    The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit  Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
    I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
    Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
    Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
    Configure Acrobat  as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
    Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
    Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat  installation
    None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
    I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
    Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

    I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
    I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
    (Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
    I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

  • I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

    I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader.  I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI). 
    When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
    Adobe Updater
    Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components? 
    And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons.  When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
    http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
    This webpage says -
    Adobe Update Manager
    Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
    So now I am stuck, no direction to go.  I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
    When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
    http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
    This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
    Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader 
    I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928.  Upon completion, it prompts to Finish.  But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file.  So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader.  But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link.  I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process.  This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove.  So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair.  The process seems to complete the Repair.  But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage.  So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file. 
    I tried Adobe support.  But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI). 
    Can this be fixed? 

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.
