AcroQTP works with Reader 10.1.1, not 10.1.2 nor 10.1.3

Hi all,
I have a suite of AcroQTP scripts written against Reader 9 that I was keen on porting to Reader X. I've seen a lot of frustrated users complaining about AcroQTP not working with their version of Reader X.  I was going to add my voice to the frustration.  In my case, what I was seeing was:
0. Unregister any previous AcroQTP and uninstall any previous Reader.
1. Install Reader 10.1.3
2. Register the AcroQTP plugin
3. Start QTP
4. Start Reader (manually)
5. Open my form (manually)
Reader crashes!  (... and it would only crash if QTP were running.)
(6. If I could, I would run QTP's Object Spy to see if it detects AcroField objects on my form.  But when your Reader crashes, you're not off to a good start.)
I tried many uninstalls and reinstalls to try to get this to work, with no success. Then on a whim, I downloaded the Reader 10.1.1 installer from a third-party archival website, since it was no longer available from Adobe.  I installed it, followed the same steps as above... and voila, Object Spy WORKED!
I've tried this on Win XP SP3 and Windows 7, and Object Spy worked in both cases.  After a little tweaking, my regression suite is now ticking along against Reader X. 
So until Adobe addresses their issue, all you have to do is find a source for the Adobe Reader 10.1.1 installer that you trust.  Something like this, from http://www.filehippo.com/download_adobe_reader/tech/10591/
Title:
Adobe Reader 10.1.1
Filename:
AdbeRdr1011_en_US.exe
File size:
50.24MB (52,677,528 bytes)
MD5 Checksum:

Happy trails,
Brent

Hi Brent
We have lately found that due to some of our changes in Reader 10.1.2 release, the plugins have broken.
They still continue to work with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 and 10.1.1 ON ANY ENVIRONMENT WITH ANY QTP VERSION.
For the time being, before Adobe roll out a fix, we would suggest you not to upgrade the Adobe Reader versions.
Thanks and Regards

  • Designer 7.0  form working with Reader 7.0.5 but not Reader 7.0.8

    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with a formed created using Designer 7.0 that was working with Reader 7.0.5 but no longer functions with Reader 7.0.8?
    The form consists of a numeric textbox N1 and 2 checkboxes C1[0] and C1[1].
    All code is done using FormCalc.
    Here is the situation: if the number in the numeric box is blank or not greater then zero, then neither check box can be checked. Both check boxes can not be checked at the same time. If the value in the numeric box is greater then zero, the checkboxes may or may not be checked (again both can not be checked at the same time).
    N1 has code the following code in its exit event:
    if (($.isNull) or ($.rawValue le 0)) then
    C1[0].rawValue = 0 //if not positive value, checkboxes must be blank
    C1[1].rawValue = 0
    endif
    C1[0] has the following code in its click and exit event
    if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
    C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
    endif
    if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
    $.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
    endif
    C1[1] has the following code in its click and exit event
    if (C1[1].rawValue == 1) then
    C1[0].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
    endif
    if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
    C1[1].rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
    endif
    The above code worked exactly as described when the form was used in Reader 7.0.5.
    Under Reader 7.0.8 the following happens:
    if N1 is blank or less then or equal to zero, both checkboxes can be checked at the same time (this should not happen at all) but neither can be unchecked
    if N1 is positive the code (and checkboxes) function as described.
    I am not sure if this is a Designer issue or a Professional/Reader issue, so I am posting this here as well as in the other 2 spots.
    Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Ben

    Chris,
    Thank you for the sample you provided. First, I must apologize for not mentioning that there was additional code in the Click event. I thought I had removed it from my form, but apparently I had not.
    I have compare the sample you provided to my form. I noticed several differences between them. First was that you used Designer 7.1 to create your sample, whereas I used Designer 7.0. I do not believe that this will have an impact, although it is possible. Also, in your sample, then click and exit events both need to contain the same "check" code. Your sample has one IF statement in the click event and one IF statement in the exit event. To match my form code, the Click and Exit events together need to contain both IF statements. My form originally contained the code in the Change event also.
    i.e. C1[0] has the following code in both its Click, Exit and Change events
    if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
    C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
    endif
    if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
    $.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
    endif
    and similarly for C1[1].
    Based off your sample, I did some more digging and found that the problem is caused by the Change event for the checkboxes. I have removed the code from the Change event and now the form works as desired.
    So, if the Change event has NO code, and if the Click and Exit events for the checkboxes have both IF statements the overall behavior (as specified earlier) is identical (and what I am looking for) for both Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8.
    Now, if I add the IF statements to the Change event (without removing them from Click and Exit), the behavior in Reader 7.0.5 does not change (works as specified). In Reader 7.0.8, the checkboxes can not be unchecked if N1 is blank.
    So my questions now become:
    1) What has actually changed between Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8 (i.e. more detailed description than the generic release notes)?
    2) Which one actually exhibits the correct behavior?
    3) If this is a change to the event model, is this documented anywhere?
    Thanks again,
    Ben

  • Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    YEAY!
    I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
    OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
    You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
    You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
    BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
    On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
    Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
    The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
    Worked like a charm.

  • Date for updated AcroQTP compatible with Reader 10.1.2+ ???

    It's been documented here that the AcroQTP plugin does not work with Reader 10.1.2 and greater.  Are you working on an update to the plugin to work with these versions of the Reader?  Can you provide the estimated date for availability?  This is preventing some of our users from being able to upgrade Reader.  We have Platinum support with Adobe and I opened case 183184109, but they directed me here for support.  Thanks

  • IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

    Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

    I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
    - Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
    - PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
    What works well?
    - All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
    - iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
    - iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
    What doesn't works?
    My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
    - Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
    - iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
    - iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
    I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.

  • Embedded PDF object .postMessage doesn't work with Reader DC on IE

    In our application, we have PDFs embedded in the browser with an object tag such as this:
    <object id="pdfObject" width="100%" height="100%" type="application/pdf" data="#{url}"></object>
    There are HTML/Javascript controls on the page which communicate with the PDF via this syntax:
    document.getElementById("pdfObject").postMessage([arg])
    This has been working great with Adobe Reader versions 10+.  It actually still works with Reader DC on Firefox.  However, there is a problem with Adobe Reader DC on Internet Explorer version 11.
    All I can tell so far is the "postMessage" function isn't appearing.  Using IE dev tools:
    document.getElementById("pdfObject").postMessage
    Object doesn't support this property or method
    Any help with this would be amazing.  It is a critical part of our application here.

    My application has two-way communication between browser and embedded PDF.  Basically a user clicks a button on the browser and via Javascript the embedded PDF form is submitted.  Everything was working before the update to Reader DC, but now it fails in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox (or Chrome, if the Reader plugin isn't disabled entirely by their new default disable-NPAPI plugin policy...)
    I originally was troubleshooting communication from the browser to the embedded PDF, which is done according to the Javascript for Acrobat API reference (page 358?), in the browser, as follows:  document.getElementById('pdfObject').postMessage([args])
    Whatever is happening, postMessage is not a valid property or method of the PDF object
    Then I found this other thread:
    Adobe Reader DC: hostContainer not worked on IE
    I confirmed that within the embedded PDF, when setting up communication from the PDF to the browser, it is not able to register the hostContainer (again, on IE only)
    I have this script on initialization within the PDF:
    <---
    this.disclosed = true;
    if (this.hostContainer) this.hostContainer.messageHandler.onMessage = onMessageFunc
    this.hostContainer.messageHandler.onDisclose = function() { return true; }; }
    ---->
    Problem is this.hostContainer is null.
    The main point here is all of this was definitely working before updating to Reader DC, and is still working with DC on Firefox, but not on IE.
    To complicate things further, I have now uninstalled DC and downgraded to Reader 11.0.10.32, and am having a new bug, this time hostContainer is detected and communication to and from the PDF works again, but the submitForm action is failing with "Unable to open URL to submit this form" and "External undefined: exec".  Testing the exact same version and script with Firefox works fine

  • Multi-suggestions/questions/problem: (1)garageBand: working with cycle regions; (2) ToS note;  (3) apple user accounts

    (1) GarageBand:  "Working with Cycle Regions"
    Preamble:  Cycle regions are very nice.  Thank you for recycling the concept.  That'd probably be great (unless you argue it'd be 'enabling') to include libraries of scripts that work with cycle regions  ('such as' note 1).  Thank you for cycle regions in GarageBand.
    "'such as' note 1"   if C[i] is a cycle region, C[1] is the first take, C[2] the second take...
    The ability to select/program different values of i for C[i] emplacements from a controller box, that could accomodate basic scripts that select i values from libraries, or generate them by simple formulas, or generate them by taking values from an "input text document" that could be easy output from basic custom software.  
    Issue:  Basic improvements to cycle region management.  Currently, if I want to know what music is in C[i], I have to set the i value from a drop down menu by clicking on the region.  If I want to search for that passage, I have to maximially do that n many times (n = the number of cycles per cycle region).  One faster way to search would be to allow pasting of sequential +1 iteration-wise cuts from that cycle region, and fast forwarding through that, or whatever.  Another way, is that while recording, some visual notification could be present, telling me which take # is being recorded.  (Maybe die-hard musicians used to counting don't worry about it.)
    (2) Terms of Service  Issue
    An "email Terms of Service" button would be nice.
    Also, a "readers digest" cliff notes version of practical center points would be nice.  Such could come with disclaimers that the notes don't necessarily reflect views of apple, although could be popularized "3rd party watchdog sides" that rate applicability of such disclaimers.
    (3) Apple User Account
    Some third party algorithm generated this user name.  I never wrote that in myself.  What is that about?  Is my account security in some crisis?
    Thanks!

    Please reply and let me know i if this was helpful or I am missing something. this worked for me and it has been about a week and my backups are still running.

    Interesting .....it sounds like an issue in Reader. From a code perspective everything is good .....the code tells Reader's email service to communicate with the mail client. This could be where the issue is.
    You may want to post your question on the Acrobat forum and see if they know of anything .....or you can report the issue to Support and have them look into it. Maybe something was introduced into the 9.1 version.
    From a Designer perspective all is good.
