Adobe reader 9 - email (submit) pdf issue

I created a form that allows us to fill out time off requests and click submit button which attaches the pdf to an email which is sent to our secretary. She enters in the time off request and then clicks the same button to mail it back to a supervisor. However when she does it she gets asked to choose to use a desktop email client or...(some other choice I can't remember). She daily has to rechoose the option and now that she's accidentally chosen the wrong option she gets the "send pdf data as" box which only allows her to save the PDF.
I'm finding nothing in any google searches on why this is happening or how to rectify the situation. This started happening after upgrading her to reader v.9 (no, downgrading is not an option)

I created a short PDF form to allow people joining our non-profit to submit us their name, address , Email address before flipping over to the PayPal site to make payment. The SUBMIT function works as intended (Email message w/pdf attached to my address is brought up) on a PC running only Acrobat PRO. With another PC running only Reader 9 I receive a message that "this operation not permitted". I have tried changing the preference setting to FDF (form data only) but have not found a way to do this yet. My solution has to work for the general public using only recent Readers on their computers.

"Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7. This happens when trying to open a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008. If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally. If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected. I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome. Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat. Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

Adobe Reader 9.1.3 Issues with browser viewing and printing

I have several users reporting issues after upgrading to Adobe Reader 9.1.3
Issue #1: User tries to open a PDF on a bank website using Adobe 9.1.3 but receives an error stating file could not be found. Adobe 9 was uninstalled and Adobe 6 re-installed. The file on the bank website was then viewable without issue.
Issue #2: Different user successfully opens pdf on a different bank website, but is unable to print while viewing in browser using Adobe 9.1.3. User had to save file to desktop and reopen locally to print from Adobe 9.1.3. Uninstalling 9.1.3 and re-installing Adobe 6 allowed them to print from the browser successfully.
Issue #3: turning off "View in Browser" causes the error "File cannot be found" when trying to view a PDF on a website. This appears to be happening on sites external to our network, but not on internal sites. Turning on "View in Browser" corrects the problem.
Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 . I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file. Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader. In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac. However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

Adobe reader displays a *.pdf document perfectly ...

... it also send's it to the printer (page by page),
at the very end it 'pretends' the printer isn't connected (but it IS. i printed eMails and text-documents the minute before). see the error message in -> http://picasaweb.google.com/ggamauf/MeineAdobeSetup#5532446101589409618
i'd be glad if somebody had and solved the same problem.
i'll happily supply details if required.

How to disable pop up Make Adobe Reader my default PDF Application in registry

I am wondering if there is a registry setting that can disable the pop-up Make Adobe Reader my default PDF Application ?
I have seen there is a setting under Edit\Preferences\General\"Tell me if Adobe Reader is not my default PDF Application" but cannot find a registry setting to disable this. This message pops up for some users in a remote desktop session host environment even though I have disabled the messages on the session hosts.
Thanks,

Safari keeps trying to use Adobe Reader to view PDFs

I had to download adobe reader because my banks electronic statements can only be read by it. Even tho it is not my default reader Safari always tried to use it to read a pdf. I can't find any way to tell Safari to use Preview again without uninstalling Adobe Reader.
Thanks

I had the same problem with bank and some government (FAA) sites.
Without Adobe Reader installed, they either would not download or would download a blank pdf page.
With Aobe Reader installed, you can download to view in Safari, but cannot save on your Mac as a .pdf.
[When Adobe Reader is default .pdf reader it hijacks the Export PDF option, including using printer driver to print to file as .pdf]
Deleting AdobePDFVewer.plugin from /Library/Internet will work, but there are a couple of easier fixes than deleting and reinstalling the plugins:
You can switch the default viewer back and forth (including Safari's default viewer) by:
Right click on a .pdf file and from the context menu select Get Info > Open With: (select Adobe Reader or Preview) > Change All and close the popup to set selected app as default.
If you have to use Adobe Reader to view a .pdf on the picky site and decide to save it - don't try to use Adobe Reader to do so (via Safari).
Instead either:
1. Option click on the site's link to the .pdf to download to your default download folder.
- or-
2. Right click on the site's link to the .pdf and select either "download linked file..." or "Save linked file as.." and save to desired folder.
I am not sure if this will work in all cases, but so far it has worked OK for those I normally use.

Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser error

I have a new computer and have Acrobat Pro installed. When I try to click on PDF links in browsers, I get an error:
Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser.
I want to be able to open these links using Acrobat Pro. What can I do in Internet Explorer so I don't always receive these errors, and so pdfs automatically open using Acrobat Pro?
Steve

Because it was not designed for Windows 7 doesn't mean it cant run.
If you install the applications as administrator, you shouldn't have problems. I have installed both Reader and Pro versions on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit without problems, as long as I did it as administrator. You right click on the setup and select Run as Administrator. You don't need to do it for updates if you go through the update option on the help panel.

bonsoir, j'ai acheté sur Adobe Reader le convertisseur pdf en format word, ça ne marche pas, faut-il attendre que le paiement soit validé pour que ça se mette en route? merci

Est-ce qu'il y a ici un technicien de chez Adobe comme on peut le voir su le forum en anglais ?
au moins qu'il me donne une réponse sur la limite du nombre de fichier mémorisés .
j'ai compris un truc :
j'ai beau réglé un fichier à la forme voulu , à un moment il redeveins comme avant ; en fait il suffit que je change
les réglages d'affichage dans x nombres de fichiers PDF pour que ça annule les réglages du fichier .
si je ne veux pas que les fichiers s'ouvrent en grand comme le fichier télé , il faut d'abord cliquer sur un fichier ayant la forme déjà établie à ma façon , ensuite si je clique sur les suivants ça va ....mais si je clique d'abord sur le fichier télé ( je dis télé mais c'est valable aussi avec un fichier déjà établis et que j'ai élargi ) et que je clique sur les suivants Adobe me les modife .
J'ai laissé les fenêtres qui ont été modifiée , j'ai cliqué sur au moins 10 nouveaux fichiers , je reviens sur ceux qui ont été anormalement modifié ils ont repis leur forme .
la seule chose que je n'arrive pas à déterminer c'est pourquoi le fichier téléchargé ( alors que j'en ai des identiques dans ma partion ) se déforme après x clics ailleurs .
et pourquoi , même sur le Bureau et après avoir modfier sa forme , il reprend sa forme initale .au bout d'un moment .
la chose qu'aurait dû inclue Adobe c'est un verrouillage de fenêtre , on garde la même pour tous ( un peu plus grande que le format A4 ou alors un choix par possible ) et ensuite libre de la dimensionné et qu'elle conserve son réglage ( peu importe ce que l'auteur a décidé ) .
Vu que je n'ai pas de réponse, ni personne qui me donne son avis sur le simple fait de tester, je vais me tourner vers un autre lecteur ....qui j'espère sera plus fiable et surout plus cohérent !

Adobe Reader Einstellungen im PDF speichern

Hallo ich bin neu hier und habe da mal eine wichtige Frage! Gibt es eine Möglichkeit Darstellungseinstellungen für den Adobe Reader in der pdf zu speichern. Mir geht es speziell um die Einstellung "smooth line art". Wenn dies Möglich ist, kann man diese Einstellung dem File in so einer Art batch Mode hinzufügen. Das Problem ist das ich eine Postscript-Datei mit Hilfe von ps2pdf in eine Pdf-Datei umwandle und diese Datei dann mit dem Adobe Reader öffne und er mir die Linien falsch darstellt. Deshalb muss ich diese Einstellung im Adobe Reader vornehmen manuell unter den Einstellungen vornehmen. Die Einstellung bleibt zwar bei meinem Reader gespeichert, sobald ich aber einen anderen Adobe Reader nutze ist diese Einstellung (logischerweise) nicht vorhanden! Wenn es irgendwelche Möglichkeiten gibt nennt sie mir bitte!

Welches Baustellenschild gibt's da jetzt nicht zu sehen? Wenn's 'ne Dokumenteneinstellung wäre, könnte es auch das Tool setzen, da es aber eine Programmeinstellung ist, gibt's da nix, allein schon wiel es gegen jedes Sicherheitsprinzip verstoßen würde. Pech gehabt!

How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?

how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.

Hello-
I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
Hope this helps.

When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS?

When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS? I don't want to hear the line that Apple won't allow Flash. Adobe needs to get a workaround PRONTO! We need detection of simple buttons and support for Mp4 and f4v - as exported inline by inDesign when creating PDFs.

Pat Willener, Thank you for your message. I have done what you suggest. I could have sworn I started this topic in the general Adobe Reader discussion. So I have also placed a copy back where I thought I first had it so it can be found by other Windows users who, like me, are creating PDF files because they are meant to comply with an international cross-platform standard and not simply be the domain of one platform over the other.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Support for interactive PDFs
How would you like the feature to work? When I add a transparent frame containing a basic Adobe Media encoded mp4 or f4v video, export to interactive PDF from Adobe InDesign, I want the PDF and its interactive videos to work on iPads. See an example file here: ***EXAMPLE PROVIDED*** Click the lefthand top and bottom corners to bring up interactive video elements which should open in floating window, maximized, then have an exit button to close and continue reading the PDF. Of course, this does not function under Adobe Reader for iOS. You also need to attend to audio files embedded in the same way and allow an exit button to close the audio window so the reader can continue reading the PDF on Windows.
Why is this feature important to you? I create eReaders for schools across the whole country and they are taking up iPads at an unprecedented rate. If Adobe do not produce a solution for interactive PDFs on iOS then I will no longer use InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Media Encoder or Photoshop to create works in the future. You're looking at a massive education market that will leave Adobe behind if this is not acted upon very very soon. For some publishers it's already too late and they have moved to app based creation tools.

Having compatiblity issues with adobe reader. What pdf file software should I use with Mac

Having problem with Adobe reader what software works well on mac for pdf file creation/reading and sending via email. Also how do I uninstall adobe reader so that all hints of it are erased.

To remove the Adobe PDF Reader:
1. Drag the Adobe Reader folder from the Applications folder to the Trash
2. Remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin from the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder
Macs offer good PDF capability in the operating system. You can use Word or other program to create somthing you want to save/send in PDF format, then choose print, click on the PDF button at the bottom of the print window, where you can choose to email the PDF file.

Email submit button issue

Hi Guys,
I have designed few forms recently and i am fairly new to livecyle, I have actually 2 issues, bit odd and i have tried to be as much discriptive as i can.
email submit button on all my forms works but it sends email to one perticular address and not to one that i programmed it to.
I.e. Form 1 - email to [email protected] - when i press submit button it will send email to [email protected]
Form 2 - email to [email protected] - when i press submit button it will send email to [email protected]
Form 3 - email to [email protected] - when submit button is pressed it sends email to [email protected]
Now when i use this button on actual form it sends email to right addresse but it is obviously in XML format and wouldnt work for us, when i use button on distributed copy of the form (created via distribute form button) it sends email to wrong addresse in PDF formate (which is the formate we like).
Also whatever i put in Email Subject box - it will always put "submitting completed form" in the email subject line.
Not sure if it makes any different but we use outlook and i have tried this from several pcs.
I think i have cheked and rechecked everything and can't fix it, any help would be great.
Process i use to create this button is - Insert >standard>email submit, i will then put desired email address and email subject in relevant fields under Object pellette.
Thanks,
H

There are two ways to set the adress in LiveCycle I know:
1st is with the button itself, second is with Javascript/Formcalc.
If I got you right and you have 3 different forms you could search for the [email protected] adress in the xml's and exchange it there or check out where the form gains the mail adress from. It's the easiest method to get rid of something you are not that sure where it is located in the form but know what it does ;D . (I had some similar problem since I overtook forms of someone else.)
Did you check this thread out? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681?tstart=0
Paul gave an example there how to deal with the various things on mail buttons.
Edit: PS: On which event did you script it? Normally you can't script on the mail button itself so you need a fake button like Paul said.
I'm also not good with Reader Extensions, since I can't experiment with those sry
