Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.

Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.
Today, I noticed that if the PDF from is opened from Chrome when it is rendered from an IIS server using the following methoed:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
Response.WriteFile(""...file-path-name...")
Just Yesterday morning it was working fine.
If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
I reported this problem from Chrome using "Report Issue". I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Aodbe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working
Tarek.

UPDATE:
This is a reported issue in latest Chrome Update:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=333449
This is an update to give more details.
Following is the environment I use:
Chrome Version (type about:version into your omnibox): 32.0.1700.76
Adobe Reader: XI
Adobe Acrobat 9.5
Operating System (Windows 7/8/Vista/XP, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS): Windows 7
Extensions (type Chrome:extensions into your omnibox): SnappySnippet 0.4
- Adobe Reader Plugin is enabled.
- Native PDF Viewer is disabled.
- All other extensions are disabled.
Note: I am rewriting the problem discription to clarify.
Few days ago, I noticed that if the PDF form will not be rendered properly, if it is opened from Chrome over ASP.NET Website, and when it will be rendered from an IIS server using the following method:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
Response.WriteFile("...file-path-name...")
I am 100% sure it was working fine before. Also, it is working fine from IE 10 and Latest FireFox version.
If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Adobe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working.
When I navigate to the link using Chrome to render the PDF Form, I can see that Adobe is trying to open the PDF Form, and then I get a black Window.
Sometimes the PDF form will open in the following cases:
1. After waiting for several minutes
2. When I detach the browser tab from main browser window
3. When I resize the Window or Minimize/Maximize it
I have no problem whatsoever when I use IE or FireFox.
See attached snapshots for more details.
Appreciate your help.

Adobe LiveCycle Form Not Saving Data

I have designed dozens of Adobe LiveCycle forms and have extended rights (enable usage rights in adobe reader). My problem is that sometimes the form is not saving the data for end users. One of my end users even updated Adobe Reader, but still nothing is working and he is becoming increasingly frustrated. Any other suggestions.

Make sure all your fields have a binding set even if it is just their name.
For instance, click on a field that isn't saving, in the Object palette, under the Binding tab make sure the Data Binding is set to Use Name.
Hope that helps.

Why am I getting this error message......."Adobe Reader could not open 'SBA 413.pdf' because it is e

why am I getting this error message when I try to open a PDF file? Adobe Reader could not open 'SBA 413.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

It's difficult for anyone to say how to fix it. Try getting a new copy of it. Did you download it from a web site, as an email attachment, or something else?
I donwloaded that form from the SBA web site and it worked fine for me. It is an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, but those should work fine with the desktop versions of Adobe Reader. So try downloading it: http://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/SBA%20413_0.pdf

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.
Thanks

How to use Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard / Pro to leverage features in Adobe Reader

Can someone please tell me how to use the Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard or Pro module to leverage features in Adobe Reader? Do you also need to have the Reader Extensions Module?
The forms data sheet says that it is possible to leverage features in Adobe Reader but does not go on to detail how.

Depends on your deployment pattern. You can just use Reader Extensions if you're publishing forms on a site, if you need to prefill or perform other processing on the template then LiveCycle Forms is needed. If you want to render to HTML5 for tablet support then Forms Pro is needed.

Adobe Reader could not open -.because it is not a supported file type

I'm using Safari 6.1 and Adobe Reader 11.0.04. Since (I think) the last Safari update I have had "Adobe Reader blocked for this website" and "Adobe Reader could not open (file) because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged"
I have re-installed Adobe Flash player and the ".....blocked site...." problem appears to be resolved however I get the "...not a supported file type..." message when I try to open the download.
This appears to be a problem with Safari. If I use Google Chrome to download and then open the saved file everything works ok.
Has anyone got any ideas to try, please?

I had the same "Adobe Reader blocked for this website" problem which was becoming very annoying.
Managed to resolve it by going;
Safari-Preferences-Security-Manage Website Settings-Select Adobe Reader from left Colomn-change bottom right "when visiting other websites" to "Allow".
Worked for me, hopefully will for others.

IBM workplace forms to Adobe LiveCycle forms

Hi
I have been using IBM Workplace forms in my application for a long time and now want to migrate to adobe livecycle forms. Please can anyone tell me about how much similar are both? What all should i look out for while migrating. ?
Regards
Ullas

We are also looking into a similar type of project. I'm not well versed in the IBM software, but I suspect there is no utlity or conversion tool to automate some of the transition work. (ie creating fields and other common objects)
We are looking at re-desinging the forms from scratch.

Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp'

Greetings~
I have seen others with this issue, but none of their solutions have been able to fix my problem.
When attempting to open a PDF document from a web site, I receive the following error:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type of because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
This is limited to a specific set of computers. Others within the organization function appropriately. As such, it is not a web server or network problem. Here are the specifics of the offending machine(s): Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, Adobe Reader 9.3.2. Note that other machines with this same specs function appropriately. I have confirmed there are no differing group policies and all are within the same subnet.
Here is what I have tried. After each item, the browser was closed and/or system rebooted. Everyone of these tests resulted with the same error.
Deleted all history in IE (cookies, temporary files, history, etc.).
Uninstalll Reader, reboot, re-install Reader, reboot.
Saved the PDF to the local desktop and tried to open that way.
Installed an older version of Reader.
Ensured the following Reader settings are selected: Display PDF in Browser, Allow Fast Web View, Allow Speculative Downloading in the background (which match machines that are successful).
Ensure IE browser settings are configured to "Automatically" check for newer versions of stored pages.
Ensure PDF document is smaller than allowable disk space limit within IE.
Can anyone help me with this? I am out of ideas!
Thank you.

If you are generating files with anything before %PDF, these files are faulty. It's never been allowed, but Reader used to tolerate it for compatibility with an obscure Mac format.

Manually download the files to your computer (right-click on the url). When the file is downloaded to your computer do you get the same message when you try to open in Reader through the File->Open menu? What about when you open the file in Mac's Preview application?
