Acrobat Reader Versions and saveAs, exportXFAdata Problems

We use generate Forms with Reader Extension Save enabled.
The forms are then opened within Acrobat Reader. In the onClose Event a Script called "saveXMLData" is called. This script is install in the javascript folder of the reader installation.
The script :
var saveXMLData = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)
     app.beginPriv();
     doc.saveAs({cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.pdf",
          bCopy: true,
          bPromptToOverwrite: false });
     doc.exportXFAData({
          cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.xml",
          bXDP:false
     app.endPriv();
     return;
Using Acrobat Reader 7, eveything worked fine.
Using Acrobat Reader 9 "saveAs" crashes the Application after the document is saved and the filled in Data is not saved.
Without the saveAs function, at least the export File is generate but the data that where filled in are missing.
Using Acrobat Reader X "saveAs" crashes the Application as well. Leavin out the saveAs function, the export File is generated as expected. Thus the filled in data values are saved.
Using Acrobat X Pro everything works as with Acrobat Reader 7.
Our Problem is that the customer uses Acrobat Reader 9. Are there expected incompatibilities with the different versions. Does anybody know any workarounds, settings?
By the way disabling extended security does not help.
Thanks
Max

It cannot be a problem of the installation, because at least Windows 7
was a fresh install with nothing but Reader additionally installed.
By the way, what do you mean by "risky", I followed straight the
documentation from Adobe, where one is allowed to place function calls
requiring a privileged context.
Have you any better idea where to place the call to save? It must be
called automatically, when the User closes the window, no additional
interaction is possible.
One other thing is the call to exportXFAData, have you any idea why
there is a difference in behavior between reader version 7 / 10 and 9?
I wrote that in version 9 the user entered data is missing.

No, it doesn't work.
Sorry, I don't have any ideas except for trying to repair the installation
of Reader.
However, placing code in the WillClose event is considered risky and should
be avoided if there are alternatives available.

    Hi Bryan ,
    It happens when you save it as an Adobe PDF or a normal PDF?
    Happens with all the files or any specific one?
    What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
    Try updating it to the latest one if it is an older one.
    You may also want to uninstall and re install it to check.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Acrobat Reader 7 and PDF 1.8

    Hi,
    Does anyone know whether Acrobat Reader version 7 can read all PDF 1.8 documents (that is, documents created using Acrobat 9)?
    Thank you.

    If you are creating the PDF and worried about that issue, them make the PDF AA7 compatible as you create it and it will not be a problem.

  • Does OSX do "backward compatibility to Acrobat Reader version 6"?

    I need to prepare a PDF file from my Pages document, and it required to provide "backward compatibility to Acrobat Reader version 6." Apparently this is something Acrobat Distiller can do but I don't have that app. How can I get Pages to make such a PDF file, or how can I convert the one Pages makes to that format? (I looked at ColorSync Utility but didn't see anything relevant among its PDF filters.)
    Quick advice would be very much appreciated!

    Which can be worked around. [PDF/X Problems in Leopard|http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2009/01/pdfx-problems-in-leopard.html]
    You have to use cmd + P when creating PDF files from Pages with this new option.

  • Checking acrobat reader version on client system.

    Hi,
    I am able to check acrobat reader version if it is 5 / 6 / 7 using activex object but not for acrobat 8.
    infact as per my project specification user must have 5 or higher version of acrobat reader and when client is having acropbat reader 8 activex object returns null; while for 5 / 6 / 7 it returns appropriate object and i can validate the condition.
    can some1 please help me out.
    thank you,

    okay,
    basically its handled at activex level true, but being a java programmer one should have come across any such problem.
    if one is not aware, please ignore, and i do not think that i have post it somewhere else.
    thank you for your concern sir,

  • Program Workspace for Specific Acrobat Reader Version

    I am using LC ES 8.0.
    Is there a way to program Workspace to use a specific version of Reader? I want it to open Acrobat Reader version 8 or higher.
    We have a few problems with some other older software that several hundred users are using and it requires them to use Acrobat Standard v6. I want to push Reader 8 to everyone and can specify that Standard or Pro are default if available but I want to make Workspace specifically use Reader version 8 or higher.
    Does anyone know if this can be done programatically in Workspace?
    Thanks,
    John

    Once way to do it is if the process you are invoking uses the Render PDF Form, or a custom Render process that includes the renderPDFForm operation (from the Forms service), you can change a setting using the Acrobat Version property to Acrobat and Adobe Reader 8 or later.
    You can get more details about the renderPDFForm operation and the Acrobat Version property at http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/000614.html.
    Hope that helps!

  • Error:  Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8 or 9 is required.

    I have windows XP and I recently installed a 9 version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Since then a receive the following error message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required."  I had installed the 9 version.  Any idea why this is happening or more importantly, what should I do to fix it?

    Lulu,
    You should ask the question in the relevant Acrobat or Reader forum:

  • Hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat Reader 8 and 9

    Hi,
    Does anyone know why a hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat reader 8 and 9?
    I created a document in Indesign CS and it contains hyperlinks that open up files from network drive so they contain backslash (for example: c:\foder\forder\filename.jpg). All the hyperlinks work in Acrobat Reader 6 but not in Acrobat Reader 8 or 9.
    Anybody could share the solution would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

    Did you ever figure this out? I am also having problems with the "No Hand" javascript which turns off the (not very helpful) page-forward hand icon (a hand symbol with a down arrow) which confuses our users when in fullscreen mode. We create interactive PDFs and everything worked fine up to Acrobat X/Reader X. Now in XI it doesn't allow the internal link icon (pointing finger) nor weblink icon (pointing finger with W) to appear. It just remains a plain o’ hand icon no matter what you mouse over even though there are links present.

  • Acrobat Reader DC and BabylonRPI.api

    The above mentioned Adobe Reader plug-in BabylonRPI.api worked in the Adobe Reader 11 without any flaws. After having replaced version 11 with the new Acrobat Reader DC and having placed the Babylon plug-in,too, the Babylon function is no longer started by the respective command. I suppose BabylonRPI.api needs an adaptation to the new version. Does anybody know more about this topic?

    Meanwhile Babylon has answered acknowledging that the BabylonRPI.api does not work with the new Acrobat Reader DC. They say, they are working on their plug-in to get it compatible with the new Adobe Reader.
    Further notice as soon as Babylon presents its adapted plug-in.

  • Adobe reader version and javascript

    Dear, all
    We met a lot problem while trying to distribute our interactive form
    the form contains some javascript logic, and it works perfectly on our own machine.
    but on different users machine ,with same pdf reader version and os version ,the javascript behave differently , some of them even donot execute any javascript at all.
    we try to upgrade their java runtime, but the problem still there.
    could you pls tell me what would be the reason for that?
    and do you have some practical methods to prevent this happen when distributing interactive forms?
    br.

    hi Jun Zhang,
    I faced a similar problem, and after much work around realized that it is the Adobe Version on the users system which influences the behaviour of the JavaScript or FormCal scripting.
    You may refer the  SAP Note 834573, for further reference.

  • Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

    To whom it may concern,
    after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
    Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
