Calculations no longer working in Reader on mobile devices

Hi,
After upgrading to Adobe Reader 11.2.1 build #90937 the timesheet template that my team uses is not longer adding the hours where it should be. There appears to be no calculations at all. I removed Reader and reinstalled and am having the same issue on all devices.

Field calculations are performed using JavaScript.
Starting from Reader for Android 11.2.0, JavaScript support is disabled on Android versions 4.1.x or older. (Another way of saying is that JavaScript is supported only on Android versions 4.2 or newer.)
Please see the description below in Help > What's New.
If you can update your Android OS to 4.2, field calculations should work again.
We apologize for the inconvenience. But improved security is our top priority.

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Filling PDF forms with in-house software - pdf no longer works in Reader

I have created a PDF form in Acrobat 8.1.0 Pro and enabled the "Filling of form fields" feature.
1)
I can open this form in Adobe Reader, fill fields, save, load / repeat process as many times as I want with no problems.
What we would like to be able to do is "pre-fill" some of the form fields using an in-house application with some data and save. At a later time, users would need to add additional information.
If I open one of these pre-filled forms with Adobe Reader, it immediately gives an error message and closes the file:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
Other programs such as "Foxit" and "AmiUni PDFSuite" don't seem to care that the file was pre-filled.
Is this because Adobe Reader actually checks some sort of CRC or signature which was created at the time the initial PDF form was created by Adobe Pro - and if the signature is no longer valid Adobe Reader won't go any further?
2)
What would be the options to get around this problem? Is there a way to accomplish this with Adobe Pro? We need to be able to pre-fill some fields in the form from our application, then have the user complete filling the form manually.
Thanks!

Enabling usage rights in reader grants specific rights for a given document - form fill in, saving, signing, etc. Reader checks if something else has been done to the document beyond the scope of the rights granted and apparently the program you are using to add the form data is triggering this test for some reason. There is a digital signature which isused to check this, plus an analysis of what has changed in incremental save sections.
What you are trying to do should work in principal. If the developer of the application is available, have them look at what else is being changed besides the addition of form data. They should be able to fix the problem.
If the pre-fill data is the same for each user, you can definitely run the pre-fill and then enable usage in reader.

What is best way to active sync large quantities of files on work PCs across multiple mobil devices of employees in the field?

I am looking for the best way for us to file share between our PC and mobil devices? We have tons of PDF files and would benefit from being able to view/edit while in the field but are not sure of the best way to do so…
- iCloud drive isn’t ideal because it requires everyone to have and maintain their own files via their individual devices and iCloud addresses
- Dropbox seems to work, but it doesn’t actually store a local copy of the files so we have to load each time to view and their document viewers are not the most user friendly
- Google Drive we used a long time ago, when it first came out, and it kind of worked well, but due to the volume of files and size of folders we constantly ran into crashing issues and sync problems so we gave up on it…
Ideally we would like to have local folders on our desktop that activesync to our mobil devices… Do you know of a way that this would be possible or do we need to purchase one of those large, robust field management programs?

Hi Bob.
So what I should have done on my PC for all my files is gone to the File menu and used the Package command which would have converted it into a file with the images in it so they wouldn't need to be relinked.
From now on I will only be working on Mac (I gave away my PC) but I'm sure I could use a friend's pc (or at a later point install Windows on my Mac). But to use the Package command on PC I need to actually have the images in the correct folder on the PC right?

Shouldn't a PDF reader on mobile devices by Adobe be the best?

I would have thought that of all the apps on mobile devices that can read and display PDF documents a PDF Reader by Adobe would be the best one out there. Instead it seems little better than average. It is still the best one I have found but... As I have looked through the list of discussions on this forum it looks like many topics have gone unanswered. And those that have been answered only a few responses are given. What is going on with the development?
Tagged PDF documents work okay on my Samsung Galaxy tab but I want to be able to do more with PDF documents than just open and read them.
Use bookmarks to navigate easily through a document
Use hyperlinks to navigate easily through a document
When I'm prepareing to teach a lesson I typically add notes in the margins and highlight text in the hard copy of the lesson manual. I would like to do the same in the PDF version of the manual.
One small advantage of a PDF document over epub is when when I tell someone or someone tells me to go to a certain page in book or manual or lesson book to follow along nothing work better than a PDF.
I was told recently that folks in another country use an iOS or Android device to view our PDFs more so than desktop units. So where is the development going with Adobe Reader for Android for example? At the rate technology changes these days it doesn't seem like anything is really moving forward.

This new version is much better. Thanks to the everyone working on the best PDF reader out there. So far as I have tested it on my Galaxy Tab it works fine except for one freeze up. I even installed it on my wife's iPad and she seems to be impressed. This is a big and for me long awaited improvement. Thanks Dov for giveing my patience level a boost. Now I just have to play around with it some more and see what needs to be tweeked and added.

Working with files on mobile devices

Hi everybody,
at the moment we are running a Vibe 3.4 server which is used most of the time by normal pc clients with the users using the browser or the Vibe desktop client to connect. Now we are getting a tablet project using Vibe more via mobile access (Android based) . The Problem now is, I can do many things with my mobile Vibe access or the Vibe App but I havent figured out how to work with my files stored in Vibe while accessing them via a mobile device.
Is there any possibility to open and work with the files/attachments?
If no, is this a planned feature for the future?
Any help, hint or trick is is greatly appreciated
Regards,
Andreas

5.7.1 Command rejected - EPrint / Works from laptops not mobile devices

I have a new HP6500A Plus Printer and have trouble using EPrint with 3 mobile devices (Blackberry, Samsung & iTouch). I get an error stating "5.3.0 Other mail system problem - '5.7.1 Command rejected'. The process works fine when I send an email to print from my 2 laptops. The ePrint Center records the emails that come in from my laptops but do not list the emails sent via my 3 mobile devices. I followed all the typical/basic things - printer on, network on, correct address, no restrictions on who can sent printer emails, etc. Any suggestions on how to get the mobile devices to work?

One of these links should help:

Linking between pages is not working for me on mobile devices. Can someone help?

I can get the page linking to work on my desktop machine, but when I preview on mobile devices through Edge Inspect the page does not work. It tells me the page can't be found. Can someone help? - Thanks Robin

Try downloading Reflow Preview 8 that was released yesterday and see if that fixes it. If not can you post the name of the page you are trying to link too and I'll see if I can reproduce it.
Thanks for you help and thanks for using Reflow,

How will Reflow work with higher resolution mobile devices?

If the media queries are based on a resolution breakpoint, how will we be able to specify a mobile css design for new mobile devices with such high pixel density displays?

I haven't found a workaround for device pixel ratio but I have found that creating my sprite at double res and oversizing my images helps greatly with sharpness on hi-dpi displays. Reflow does allow for CSS3 background sizing which is great for resizing a single sprited item across breakpoints.
SVG would be even better but OSX Mavericks has made illustrator unusable for the time being, so I'm using raster-only sprites.

okay, in this context, that usually indicates a broken existing QT setup where the QT installation configuration information has been compromised.
here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use to to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

You need to use document.getElementById.

Commentable/saveable PDF no longer works in Reader 9

Greetings all,
I have seen this on the web, but have not seen the solution. Can anyone provide one?
Some years back we received commentable/saveable PDF versions of the Bible. My husband has been highlighting and commenting these for a long while. Since Adobe 9 and for a number of months now, he can no longer comment/save the PDF.
I downloaded another set of the PDFs (there are two). When you open one of the PDFs, it says that commenting is allowed. After you comment and save the document (something that has been done MANY TIMES for a year or more), you get a message: "The document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of the extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I know this situation is happening to others since Adobe 9. Surely we do not all have to try to find and contact the orginal author who enable commenting to have them fix something that is now apparently broken when using Adobe 9?
Help anyone? Adobe rep, are you there?
Thanks in advance,
Tink

If the pre-fill data is the same for each user, you can definitely run the pre-fill and then enable usage in reader.
