Add Button in Acrobat 9 Pro to Livecycle Document.

Hello everyone,
I have a problem that I am beating my head up against. In my company we have some pdf documents that have been created using LiveCycle for our "go green paperless movement" but we have hit a snag. We have some "virtual printers" in use with our document management software that work just as normal networked printers but instead capture an image of the document being printed and run OCR on our documents for record keeping. Each pdf document has its own virtual printer to recognize appropriate OCR templates to use. Therefor we have many virutal pritners for our many documents. We love our LiveCycle documents but, when attempting to use javascript to print to a particular network printer we have found our complication. We do not want to map the printers using windows or train our employees on adding network printers to their profile as there are so many and each document is assigned to a virtual OCR printer, we want the document to have an embedded button that automatically prints to it's assigned virtual printer.
If I open a document and edit it with Acrobat 9 Pro, I can simply place a button field and add this java code:
var  pp=this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive=pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
pp.printerName="\\\\TOSHIBABILLING2\\pcl6";
this.print(pp);
and the system prints to the network printer perfectly. Yet if I use that same javascript in LiveCycle we get nothing. Further reading I found some details specifying that I cannot use this same scripting to print to the network printer using LiveCycle and such am at a loss.
I have tried open the form in Acrobat 9 Pro to edit it and just add the button using Acrobat Pro, but each time I edit the document it opens LiveCycle as the designer.
I was not sure which forum to use as this problem has been found between working with both programs. Can someone help me to either modify the code for LiveCycle, or to at least find a way to open the document in Acrobat 9 Pro to just add the print button to the LiveCycle form. Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I can't open the Form Tools though is what I'm saying. When I open the document in Acrobat 9 Pro I have no form tools.
I have to go to [Forms] -> [Edit Forms in Designer] in order to open the form tools.
Only when I select to open in designer I do not get the Acrobat Pro Designer, it automatically opens the document in LiveCycle and I have no option or ability to change the document designer to Acrobat Pro.
Is there some way I can "Force" the docement to open in Acrobat 9 Pro designer JUST so I can add the print button?

  • Extend/modify deadline in Acrobat Pro 8 shared document review

    Is it possible to extend or modify the deadline for an Acrobat Pro 8 shared document review?

    Christian,
    No it's not possible to extend/modify the deadline in Acrobat 8 shared reveiws. These features have beed added in Acrobat 9. In Acrobat 8, the reviewers can add comments even after the deadline has expired. The review file can however be checked out of the review by saving a copy of the file using the 'save an archive copy' option under file menu(File> Save as archive copy), when the reveiw process is complete.
    Thanks,

    Hi Bruno ,
    Could you please verify the Acrobat version you are using is the latest Acrobat DC or some older version ?
    Does this happen with any particular PDF file or all the documents ?
    If you haven' tried repairing your Acrobat ,please try the same and see if that helps .
    For repairing Acrobat Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help> Repair Acrobat Installation .
    If that does not work you could probably uninstall the software and try downloading it again and see if that fixes the issue .
    Let us know how it goes .

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro and Livecycle

    Hello,
    just recentlty purchased my Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit (especially my interactive calculations), which I created in LIvecycle on Windows.
    Unfortunately, I always just got the error message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
    Unfortunately I am not using Windows any more, so was wondering, if there is any other way to edit my documents ?
    Thanks a lot, Marc

    No. You can only edit LC forms in LiveCycle, and it is not available on a
    Mac. Also, even on Windows it's no longer bundled with Acrobat. You have to
    purchase it separately (or request a download link if you had a previous
    license).
    I would suggest converting your files to "standard" Acrobat forms, if
    possible.

  • Problem using the e-mail button in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 with Outlook 2013

    I just switched my e-mail application from Mozilla Thunderbird to Outlook 2013.
    I have always been able to click the e-mail button in Acrobat 7.1.0 to open a blank e-mail message with the PDF file attached.
    I keep getting an error now that I have Outlook 2013.
    It says "You need to create a Microsoft Outlook profile.  In Microsoft Windows, go to the Control Panel and open Mail.  Click Show Profiles, and then click Add"
    Then, when I click on the OK button it says "Acrobat is unable to log in to your email application.  Please check your account settings and try again."
    I have checked and I have one profile in Control Panel called Outlook.  Outlook is set as my default e-mail program. 
    I tried using a 3rd party PDF reader (Foxit Reader) and the e-mail button works as expected (opens a new message with the PDF attached).
    I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit with Outlook 2013 32-bit (this was what was recommended by Microsoft on the Office download site).
    I would appreciate help anyone can provide to fix this problem.
    Thank you.

    It may be a similar issue, but not the same issue. This is not the Reader forum, but if you are worried about the compatibility it is a simple matter to upgrade your Reader to AR XI. The original post had to do with a cost product, not the free Reader.
    For AA7, the PDF Maker of AA7 is not compatible with Outlook 2013 as suggested. You should still be able to open most PDFs, but to create a PDF from Outlook you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or upgrade to AA XI.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - expire document HELP

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and I'm trying to figure out a way to have a document expire after 1 day when I send out via email? I've searched and emailed Adobe but got no help and I need an answer quickly. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

    Hi, Pyridians,
    Unfortuntely this isn't a forum for Acrobat so no one will be able to answer your question.
    I recommend you repost your question on one of the Acrobat forums listed on:

  • Outlook Add-In for Acrobat Pro X

    I have Microsoft Office 2013 as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro X.  The Adobe Acrobat Add-In will not load in my Outlook.  It is not listed as disabled.  When I open up Outlook Options and go to the Add-In Manager, it is listed, but when I check it, it will not stay checked.  There are no error messages associated with the add-in.  I have repaired both installations, Adobe Acrobat Pro as well as Office 2013.  I have restarted my PC to finalize the repairs.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, Office 2013 installed as 64-bit, Adobe Acrobat Pro X as 32-bit.
    My co-worker has Office 2013 and his Adobe Acrobat Add-In works fine in his Outlook 2013.
    I would appreciate any insights on how to get this add-in to function properly.
    Thank you.

    Support for Office 2013 is not available for Acrobat X. Office 2013 is supported by 11.0.1 and later versions.

    Windows 7, Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (latest update)
    I have been researching this issue for days and can't find a solution. I am using Acrobat not Reader, there is not an option to uncheck the "enable protected mode" in Arcobat. The only error Adobe says I can have printing is different from the one I'm getting.  Can anyone answer this?

    Hi Josh ,
    Try re installing the printer subsystem and see if that works.

  • Acrobat Pro X Replaces Document Title with File Name

    We process many Microsoft Word Documents into PDF. Whether or not this is the correct way to process them we use the new "Action" previously a Batch Process.
    We require our documents to open "Full Width" so we run the created Action which converts the Word files to PDF and sets them to open width.
    In the previous version of Acrobat (9) this worked fine. But the current version strips the document title out of the Word document and replaces it with the file name in the PDF. eg. If the title of the document set in the properties of world.doc is "Changing the world", when the action created the PDF its stripped and replaced with "world.doc"
    This of course means that we must now take the time to change the title of each document so that the search engine on our intranet can correctly list it. As you can imagine a time consuming process, which until this update never had to be done.
    Alternatively is there a better way to convert large numbers of Word documents to PDF that will keep all of this information intact?
    Many thanks
    Murray

    Actions are not really intended for that type of work:
    Actions allow a complex, guided series of events to be applied to a single file, usually with some user interactivity. They can be run over and over but usually only process one file at a time. In the example we show based on redaction, this guided interactivity is essential as only a human can decide what to redact in each document.
    Batch processing applies a standard set of events to a series of files, usually without any user interactivity beyond selection and filename choices.
    What happens when you try and run your Acrobat 9 batch sequence in Acrobat X?

  • Cannot add stamp from Acrobat Pro XI

    Certainly I'm not lost in space here, but when I attempt to insert a stamp, the stamp does not appear.  The tool is there, the different stamps are all there, but when I select any one of them, I can define the area, but NO STAMP.  I cannot insert sticky notes either... that might help (even though it appears I should)

    Acrobat hasn't had native support for fax hardware since the world was young and computers had wheels ( http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressmaterials/pdfs/acrmessenger/acrmdatasheet.p df  - I do love the press office's Basement of Lost Products ).
    On Windows there's a native "Fax and Scan" driver which behaves as a virtual printer and it's installed even if there's no fax hardware available - so there will be "Fax" as one of the options on your printer selection menu but unless you tell it where the hardware is it won't do anything. OS X has "Fax Utility" that behaves the same way. They are nothing to do with Adobe or Acrobat, which simply sees a B+W printer.
    One thing to note - if the PDF file is secured, it may be that Acrobat is respecting a limitation on "printing" whereas Nuance is ignoring it.

  • Creating Buttons on Acrobat Pro 9 from PDF's Created from AutoCAD 2011

    We have been trying to create buttons on PDF's that we have received from our architect but everytime we try and do so the software crashes. We are able to select the button tool and insert the button onto the page, but when we try and ammend the properties of the button i.e. make it into a link, the software hangs/crashes and doesn't do anything. The docuemnts we are using nare not protected in anyway and I can't understand why this function isn't working.

  • How Can I Create a Print Button on a PDF Using Acrobat Pro That Will Also Work on iOS?

    I created a Print Button on a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro on my Mac.  The Print button works perfectly on different browsers on my Mac and on Windows (running under Parallels Desktop) as well.
    When I open the document on my iPad the Print button doesn't even appear.  I am guessing that this is a Flash issue but it may be more related to the fact the the action for the button is to access the Print menu item, which doesn't exist under iOS.
    Is there any way to create a Print button using Acrobat Pro that will work on a Mac and Windows but also on iOS?

    In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
    The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

  • Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

    I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page.  When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
    I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone.  Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

    In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table.  The remaining pages are not printed.
    For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

    The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
    However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
    The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.
