Adobe Acrobat aborts when using LiveCycle Designer PDF Preview tab.

Whenever I try to use the PDF preview tab in LiveCycle Designer, Adobe Acrobat aborts. I get the notice that "Adobe Acrobat 8.1 has encoutered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Yadda, yadda, yadda,....." .
The error signature is:

Please increase your Buffer memeory for appalications.
Before you go for a preview. try to kill the exisitign process of adobe reader.
We need to see hte size of the XDP being generated.
If it is over 20 0r 30 MB, we may need to bring it down to 2 - 4 MB.
Again if the problem still persists, Re install the acrobat and try.
Lastly, check if the same problem happens when you use a adobe reader 8.1.3 or 9.4 (stable versions).

Content of textfields is gone, when using LiveCycle Designer Version 8.2

Hi there,
I´m having a Problem with LiveCycle Designer in Version 8.2 (exactly 8.2.1.4029.1.523496). When It try to open a PDF-document containing an AcroForms-Form with some textfields, I can see all the textfields of the document, but their content (the text) is missing, I only see the empty fields.
When I use LiveCycle Designer Version 8.1 (exactly 8.1.1.3021.1.438934) everthing works fine. The xml-sources produced by the two differnt LiveCycle-versions look different, too.
Is there any known bug or something, which could explain this behaviuor?
Thanx a lot
Chris

Hi Paul,
in the attachment you´ll find the pdf-Document and two xdp-files which I
generated with LiveCycle 8.1 and 8.2. They look pretty different, e.g. in
8.2 all of the

Editing Form Fields inside Acrobat? (after using LiveCycle Designer)

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended == Acrobat
LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 == LiveCycle Designer
=========================================
Say I downloaded a new PDF from the interwebs.
I want to add some forms fields so I go to Forms ==> Add or Edit Fields... (inside Acrobat)
Now Acrobat will detect possible places where to add the form fields. I make changes etc. Then I am satisfied with my form fields.
Now say I want to remove a particular object from the PDF, lets take an image as an example.
So I fire up LiveCycle Designer; File ==> New ==> Import a PDF document ==> Create an Interactive Form with a Flowable Layout.
I remove that pesky little object.
In LiveCycle Designer, I save the file as PDF.
I open up Acrobat. I realize I need to make some more changes to some of the Form Fields.
But now instead of "Add or Edit Fields..." option I get "Edit Form in Designer..."
I hate the GUI of LiveCycle Designer --- I had rather edit the form fields from inside Acrobat, as it is easy and fast to change multiple form fields in a few clicks.

Thank you Niall for the above response; Your response gave me an idea which allowed me to remove that line by zooming in to 200%
You know Acrobat detects Form Fields for you.
But many times it makes mistakes, for example in the screenshot below it made the boxes that came with the PDF as text fields instead of check boxes.
The thing is rather than me delete the (form) fields it detected, and start over by making new check boxes, I will not be able to place my new check box in exact locations as Acrobat has done.
When I imported the fields that Acrobat made into LC (by saving the PDF in Acrobat and then opening it with LC) I get option to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box when I right click the object.
Is there a similar way to change the Object Type from Text Field to Check Box inside Acrobat? Any suggestions?
===========
I would really like to do it inside Acrobat because then if I have to make some minor changes to some field properties, all my hard work which I did by filling the fields gets deleted, as I am forced to use LC. The text I add to the fields don't get deleted when I edit the field properties inside Acrobat. I don't know why LC decides to delete all the text which is filled out in the form fields even though the PDF is saved in Acrobat before being imported into LC?
Here is the above PDF file with the text boxes:

Again thanks for all your guidance so far.

Adobe Acrobat XI Freezes On LiveCycle Designer Form

Adobe Acrobat XI randomly freezes when filling out form fields in a specific PDF designed by myself in LiveCycle Designer 11.
The Windows Event Log sometimes records the following:
Error
11/8/2013 4:09:00 PM
Application Error
1000
(100)
"Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 11.0.4.63, time stamp: 0x52288928
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x98006f09
Faulting process id: 0x380
Faulting application start time: 0x01cedcc3eebf5e0b

Faulting module path: unknown
Report Id: fcca7abe-48b9-11e3-b2d4-bc305bfc853b"
This indicates a hard crash, but when I've seen the issue it's the Acrobat window becoming grayed out and unresponsive (in the typical Windows fashion).
The staff member who regularly uses the PDF form indicates he's constantly having to deal with this. I've confirmed the freeze once while shadowing him for the day.
In terms of the PDF itself there's not much special-- four (4) pages filled with a lot of text, drop down and checkboxes, and three buttons that contain short snippets of code that likely never run.
What gives? How does Acrobat crash on such a straightforward PDF?

If this only happens for one users Acrobat you should try to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat.
There is a tool from Adobe Labs that will fix registry issues and other problems that can cause an unexspected app crash.

If you see the problem on different machines, it's worth to let someone check your form.

Cannot Edit a Form in Adobe Acrobat Pro Xi - use Livecycle

Hi all,
I was advised to buy Adobe Pro XI yesterday by the Direct Sales Adobe team because it includes "everything I need" to create and EDIT PDF forms. I actually rang up to buy X but was told it was now XI.
I tried to edit a form today and got this message:
"this form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe Livecycle Designer to edit this form"
I was told this was included in Pro but can't get past this message. I previously had a trial of Adobe Pro X and WAS able to edit this very form.
It is very frustrating. I cannot edit anything I have been working on.
FormsCentral seems too basic as I need to be able to edit the field name in the properties of the field.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
David

We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them. Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat. Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!! From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade. We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products. We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $. Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back! They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!
Cheers,

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software. I use Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 to assist me when I add comments to a PDF. I also use it when making additions or changes to text. When I use the two software programs together, Acrobat constantly crashes. If it doesn't crash, an error occurs trying to save the file. I entered 988 comments into a 158-pg PDF, only to find the file was corrupted and couldn't be printed. I also could not see the list of comments (click Show Comments).
These problems do not occur if I don't use both products simultaneously.

Never overwrite a clip that is used in Pr. Give the
modified/corrected/updated clip a new name and import that into your Pr
project. Then Alt+Drag the new clip on top of the old clip in the
timeline to replace the clip instance.
If import-then-drag isn't your style, then right-clicking the original
clip in the Project panel and selecting Replace Footage will accomplish
the same thing.
This important rule applies in Encore as well.

Adobe Acrobat as a server to create PDF using PDF templates and field values

I'm writing a web page to create a PDF using fields that we ask for them in the screen.
My idea is:
1. Ask for field values (text values and a photo) in my web
2. Run Adobe Acrobat to load a PDF template (PDF form) and mix with the field values
3. Create a final PDF mixing values and template
4. Show to document to the user in his client web browser. I guess the only way to do that is to create the PDF on a server with Adobe Acrobat Pro and send to the user browser a JPEG that will represent the PDF: If I do this operation in the PDF visor at the client browser, the problem is that it will will be mandatory to install Adobe Acrobat in each cliente because only this visor can manage javascript.
Can you tell me if this idea is correct? It is possible to use Adobe Acrobat on a Server to create PDF when some proccess needs?

and what other Adobe product o procedure can we use to do that?
I only need to create a PDF mixing PDF Templete, field values and javascript.
Thanks for your help.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer. Forms Central can't open LiveCycle Designer Forms so what do you do?
I have uninstalled XI and re-installed LiveCycle Designer only. On re-installation, I chose not to uninstall version 9 and to do a customer set up (not installing forms central).
LiveCycle is now working along with Acrobat ProXI

LiveCycle Designer is no longer distributed as part of the Acrobat release. I think it is available as a separate product. At this point, Acrobat provides the AcroForm type tools (kind of hard to get to, just as in some previous versions) and the option for Forms Central. The whole focus has changed. I suspect that others may be in the same situation of trying to get their forms to interact in Acrobat or Forms Central, but at this point I do not think there is any way to back Designer forms into either of the two current formats. Not much help, but a comment in any case.

Adobe Acrobat hangs when opening PDFs even after reinstall

Hello,
I have 2 new Dell systems that are having issues with Adobe Acrobat. When opening PDFs, either from an email attachement or file from our server, there is a brief hang that lasts 10-15 seconds, during which Acrobat is unresponsive however the workstation continues to respond. I've since uninstalled/reinstalled, still no luck. I've also run updates. Problem unresolved.
Any ideas

One of our users is having a similar issue with Adobe Reader 9.2 hanging. Adobe Reader will eventually open after about 5 seconds. I've found a work around where if I leave a .pdf document open, any other .pdf I click will open up fine (but a .pdf needs to be left open in Adobe Reader). This is happening only with one user. Some of the things I've tried that have not worked: repairing, uninstalling/reinstalling, deleting temp files, opening the file with a different account/profile, downgrading to Adobe Reader 8.1.3. Anyone have any ideas? This is only happening to one user at my company. I've searched the forums here and it looks like other people are having similar issues but there's really not a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Adobe Acrobat Aborts

I'm developing a form in LiveCycle, but when I try to display it as a PDF, Adobe Acrobat aborts with absolutely no information why. The problem is somewhere in the form's Javascript, but I could use some help in finding out where the problem is.

I found the problem.
At one point in the Javascript for a textbox, I had this:
if (MNPD.formStream.ND_RoutingStep == 0 && MNPD.ND_FillerPrint.rawValue != "True") {
---- more code follows ---
If you look at the first comparison, you will see that I should have been comparing the rawValue of MNPD.formStream.ND_RoutingStep to 0, not the textbox itself. Adobe Acrobat doesn't like it when it has to compare apples to oranges. Javascript needs a better Intellisense.
I found the problem by eliminating fields field-by-field until I found the offending textbox, then commenting Javascript line-by-line until the offending line showed.

Keeping Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as the Default .PDF viewer

Ok,
So with all the new vulnerabilities with Adobe reader, our company is try to stay with the current updates of Adobe Reader. The problem I am running into with patching all the workstations is that we have a large user community that uses Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as their default .pdf viewer etc. When patching all workstations with the latest Adobe Reader it changes the default to Reader.
Has anyone had this issues? Or is there away to keep Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro the default when upgrading the Reader?
I'm thinking of removing Reader all together on the workstations that have Pro.
Thanks

That is the Adobe recommended and supported setup.
Too many problems arise when you have those two Adobe products on the same machine.
