Buttons in pdf forms on Android with Adobe Reader

Hello all,
We used Adobe Acrobat XI to make a form and it was working great on Android. (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.2) using the Adobe Reader app.
We were able to open the form and create a copy and edit it and save it. It works fantastic... Except....
All of a sudden had a user that wanted an increment / decrement button for a number field.
Well, that's all fine and dandy for a fillable form on a desktop but I ran into issues on Android.
The Android app for Adobe Reader doesn't seem to recognize the buttons to increment / decrement the value. It doesn't really even see them as buttons.
On an iPad, The Adobe Reader app does see this and act accordingly.
They are ran off of a javascript action- getField("fieldName").value++ / value-- respectively.
Is there a way or should the Android app be recognizing these buttons?
Thanks,
James

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?

How to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

Hi aho,
You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
What can I do with Reader?
Let me know if you have further questions!

Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
Thanks

If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview. Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar. Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
Cheers

How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

Sequence multiple PDFs to activate comments with Adobe Reader

Hi all!
At first i would say: Sorry for my bad english - iam german.
Iam a System Administrator and one of our Business customers have multiple old PDFs (about 90GB - yes 90 Gigabytes!) and he bought Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro last month and all other Workers in his Company are using the Reader 9.
He want all 90GB of his PDFs to be enabled for commenting with Adobe Reader. But there are some one hundereds of thousands of PDFs - so iam looking for a sequencing solution to activate the commentary function in every PDF. I havent found this function in the sequence Function in Acrobat.
So is it possible to sequence it or do he has to activate it manually?
Thanks for any answer!
Greetz, Martin

LiveCycle Reader Extension requires you purchase or own a server. You
must know how to run the server, then you must purchase the product for
use in the server. It is not cheap. But it can handle 90 Gigs of pdfs.
Be ware that the size of the pdfs is not relevant. When pricing the
software you probably need to know approximately how many pdfs you need
to prepare and how often.

Xcelsius 2008 pdf cannot be opened with Adobe Reader 8.2

Using Xcelsius SP3 , I have exported a dashboard to Adobe9 (pdf 1.8).
When I tried to open this pdf with Adobe Reader 8.2, getting the error like "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support."
How can I resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
Since the last couple of days I have trouble opening Xcelsius pdf format 6 in ADOBE Reader 8.2 latest fix
It was fine last week but I have updated the 8.2 reader to the latest version and now it doesn't work.
It seems to be the same crash with the version 9.2 of the reader
Anyone else with the same issue?

I am using a Mac OS 10.9 and i can't type into a PDF form. I have adobe reader and another adobe product (adobe photoshop elements 12). Is there a way i can fill out a form and email?

I have adobe reader and adobe photoshop elements 12. I need to fill out an Adobe form, save it and email. I have tried creating a text box but the formatting is horrible. I need help please.
Thanks,
Eunice

It's a fillable form. I have Adobe Reader version 11.0.07. I was trying to fill the form, save and email. It is a public form and here's the link to the form: http://booksamillioninc.com/public/Revised_w_Gift_Card_info_2014-Donation_Policy_Procedure _and_Request_Form.pdf
I am unable to click/ type in the fields.
Thanks!

Form is filled on iPad then emailed. If form is opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible.

Form filled on ipad. When opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible- form is blank. Have been using this system for months with no problems.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

When pdf file is opened with Adobe reader, it shows extra whitespace after "w"

I am unable to attach the pdf file here. But my pdf file is having a hyperlink "http://www.google.co.in/". When i open it with Adobe reader, its shown as "http://w w w .google.co.in/", if the same pdf file is opened in some other pdf reader, the link is properly shown and i can click over it to browse. This is a bug in Adobe Reader.
Please revert back mentioning where should i attach the pdf file.

I have created the pdf files using txTextControl.ServerTextControl
The additional space after the "w" is a result of charaster spacing, there is no whitespace in pdf file after "w"
If i open the same pdf in some other pdf reader like Sumatra pdf reader, it gets opened without any white space after "w".
However, there is no space after the "w" in the PDF document, its the adobe reader issue.

Pdf file opens only with Adobe Reader

I have a pdf file that I received that I can only view with Adobe reader. Every Mac application including Preview and every other one that should handle pdf shows a page that looks like a web page and says "Please wait" and some other stuff about if you are not redirected to your page you may not be able to open this type of file. Adobe reader (latest version) can open the file just fine.
Is there some reason why the Apple programs cannot open this file? Has Adobe done something to this file to lock out Apple software? Is there some incompatibility with the latest Adobe file version for pdfs?

Problem opening Form based PDF via Safari browser with Adobe Reader 9.3 on MAC

Hi,
I'm mentioning below the problem that we are facing when we open a form based PDF created using a licensed version of Adobe Livecycle Designer ES (Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496) on a MAC machine through a Safari Browser.
We tested this PDF form on a windows machine and the PDF opens in an IE browser via the latest Adobe reader 9.3 without any problem. I then received complaints by our clients that they were unable to open the same PDF on their Safari browser on a MAC machine, I tried to resolve the problem by downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.3 for MAC but noticed that the Safari browser window would just keep refreshing the page without displaying the PDF at all. I then uninstalled the Adobe Reader 9.3 version and downloaded and installed an older version i.e., Abobe Reader 8.2 version for MAC and noticed that the PDF document successfully opened in the Safari browser. My question is why does a form based PDF work with an older version of Adobe Reader for MAC and not with the latest version? Our clients are not comfortable with the fact that we are refraining them from upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for MAC and that they would have to downgrade their existing Adobe Reader 9.3 to a lower version Adobe Reader 8.2 in order for the PDF forms to work when it should be the other way around.
Is there any fix or a patch that is currently being worked on that would resolve this issue in the latest Adobe Reader for MAC? If yes then when would it be ready? This issue is quite critical for our business and would appreciate it if this would be looked into with high priority.
Thanks and Regards,
Sheikh Huraiz Ahmed.

Saving form field data with Adobe Reader and Java script.

We would like to create some customized PDF documents with pre filled form fields for our customers. The documents will also have extended Java script functionality to check some entered data and to save the form data to a local disk.
Our customers will need to click on their personalized link on our web page and then download a pdf document with personal pre filled form fields specifically for that customer. From our site the PDF file will be dynamically created and partly filled out with our web application. (The application uses an external PDF library for the pdf creation).
They would then need to be able to edit the form fields and save/export them as a pdf whilst offline.
The saving/exporting of the data should be implemented by the extended Java Script functionality (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_developer_guide.pdf). Once the data has been edited they will send the pdf file directly back to us.
The issue we have is with regarded to teh EULA for Acrobat Reader. If we create those documents with an external application is the user allowed to open those PDF files with his Adobe Reader without breaking the Adobe Reader Restrictions in the EULA for the Reader? (http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-Combined-20080204_1313.pdf, chapter 3.2 Adobe Reader Restrictions)

Hello,
the problem which I have pertains only to the Adobe Reader. Because
our user will use Adobe Reader to open our pdf documents but it looks
like that the EULA for the Reader doesn't allow the user to open pdf
files which have the extended option to save data out of the form
fields unless!! this feature was created by an adobe product. But I
created the pdf file not with Adobe. So I don't want our user be punished...
It is actually a question of the law? departement of Adobe. But there
is no Forum for that
Or could you please forward my forum question to somebody of this department.
I don't want to publish a product where the user breaches the EULA
every time they are opening it
Regards
Niels

Opening .PDF's in IE7 with Adobe Reader 9.0 & Adobe Writer 5.0

Hi
I am running a XP Pro environment on a HP D530 machine. I have installed on this PC Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Writer 5.0. I have defaulted through the folder options all .PDF and adobe related files to open in 9.0 and done the normal 'open with' option aswell. Problem is on this internet ticker link i have/use, all the .PDF's posted on there always default to 5.0 and produce a error saying i need to upgrade to a higher version. If i leave 9.0 open then it will default to them without any issue. Is there any regkeys or files in 5.0 or 9.0 i can change so i can set all files to 9.0 Reader?
I have been told the ticker is only used to link to the files and does not have any code that dictates how the .PDF's open.
Any adive or ideas would be of great help! :-)
Andy

With Acrobat 7 you can only send out Browser Based Review, (which is replaced by shared reviews in version 9).
The reviewers will need to open the PDF inside a browser, and have access to the location of the PDF to be reviewed.
Acrobat 8 can do both types still, have a look here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WSB7237F9D-E90A-4c6 b-8C0D-58C7B2063B1D.html
And here's a tutorial for those situations whereby reviewers do not have access to the server location of the Reviewed PDF:

Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC. It is not on my PC.
Thanks for your help.

The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1. It is named Adobe Reader XI.
I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message. As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there. I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now. Problem solved.
Thanks for your help.
