Can I realistically test a form with Reader if I also have Acrobat pro on my machine?

I have both Reader X and Acrobat Pro X on my machine. I create forms using Adobe Acrobat pro. My clients (who typically only have Reader) later fill out these forms and save them.
Once or twice customers been unable to save the forms and I've had to recreate them. I don't know what the error was, but my 2nd forms worked fine. However, I don't want to present non-working forms!
If I test my forms using Reader, is Acrobat Pro out of the picture completely? That is, can I count on the test being realistic, or does my installation of Acrobat talk secretly to my installation of Reader and enable me to do more than I could do if I only had Reader (like my customers)?
Thanks!

Yes, I have tested on "clean" machines and on my machine a couple of
times. But I wanted more info--because even if the forms test well on one
occasion, or two, or 5, it could just be that those forms lacked the
problem but the form would still fail on the next test. (Like the black
swan problem from my biology days.) And we who create the forms would
like to be able to test them with Reader on our own machines.
I'm going to take as a working hypothesis that two gurus and a few tests
are enough evidence. If everyone is wrong (I see your eyes roll), we'll
find out eventually. At any rate, I'm convinced enough to proceed. Again,
many thanks for your help.

I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?
I recently downloaded music on my iPad via iTunes, but I can't get it to my iPod. Any help?

You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Hi lawalton,
Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.

PDF files opens in Adobe Reader 9 but not Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

After one of my users digitally signs a PDF file, and saves it, he cannot open it again.
He gets either a reference memory error or a Font Capture error.
I can open the same PDF file with Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.
If I take the same file to a system with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - same error on the same file.
Happens to my administrator account as well.
Acrobat Pro 9 version: 9.4.1
Adobe Reader version: 9.4.1
Acrobat Pro 8 version: 8.2.5

IE 7
Acrobat Pro 9 has been completely uninstalled, the system rebooted, and the software reinstalled.
Customer's profile has been rebuilt.

So the option was already checked when opened the document. I went ahead and unchecked, closed, reopened just to test and it's still not displaying correctly.
In response to Bill@VT. The image is on top of a white background so I can't tell if there is space there or not, it's just all white.
She showed me another document that's doing something similar today. This time the pdf was done with a green background and now the background shows as white. It was created the same way with Indesign and it shows fine in Reader and the Windows preview pane just not Acrobat. I'm trying to get the user to find the installation media so I can remove and reinstall, but I'm not sure if she will be able to find it.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

Hi Spiral Geronimo,
It is always recommended to update the software to its latest updates. I would suggest you to update your Acrobat 9 to its latest updates. You can download the updates from the link below:

I have acrobat pro but I can't open pdf files now.

I have acrobat pro But since a few days ago I can't open any pdf file anymore.If I try with reader I do,but not with acrobat pro.
I need help please.

Do two steps and then retry. Open Acrobat and then
1. Help>Repair
2. Help>Updates
Since it had been working, I assume there was no change in OS or Acrobat.

if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

Can I realistically test a form with Reader if I also have Acrobat pro on my machine?
