Can't open pdf form on iPad

I can open the pdf form on my laptop just fine, but when I try to open it on my iPad running iOS 6.1.2 and Adobe Reader 10.5.0, I get this error "If this mesage is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the doc, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document." I did notice that when I open the pdf on my laptop, it pops up a note explaining what to enter for a particular field. Can the Reader iOS version not handle these pop-up notes on forms? Is this being worked on? Thanks.

I only know what's been said on the forums. I suspect that there will be support for static XFA forms in the future, though it seems like a lot of work for little return. I would be surprised if dynamic XFA forms are ever supported as it would be much more work, but the return may be greater. I hope that more support for JavaScript with Acroforms comes first.

Can't Open PDF form in Adobe Reader 11.0.3 on Mac OSX 10.8.4 Intel

Hi,
I hope you can help, this is driving me nuts.
I have a PDF Form which opens fine in Windows Adobe Reader, when I attempt to open it on OS X I get the following:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.

No matter how long I wait it will not replace this text with the actual form. I have tried installing the latest 10.x as well and still have the same problem.
How can I debug what is going on rather than just "waiting"...?
Thanks!

I'm encountering the same problem on the two computers below. Email attachments will open in the same manner. Attempts to download or open PDFs on the Internet result in a black page with no content or the warning you've noted above.
Macbook pro 15 running 10.8.4
Mac Mini running 10.8.4
I am able to open PDFs on a Mac pro 17 running 10.7.5. I have used airdrop to move the document to one of the above two computers. This results in the original file becoming corrupted and unable to open and the file moved to the other computer will also state that it is corrupted.
There is clearly something amiss in Adobe and Mac working together. (And it is causing considerable frustration at this point.)
I should add, I have the full Adobe PDF product on the Mac Mini.

Can not open pdf forms in Firefox

We have pdf qoutationforms that can no longer be opened whenusing Firefox. (The files opened fine till a few weeks ago). When we click the link it just say stopped in the left corner and after a minute or two Acrobat Reader opens up with the following error message "A file I/O error has occurred. The file connection timed out." The file opens fine in Safari and Internet Explorer.
The two forms are here A file I/O error has occurred. The file connection timed out.

I did try the link, it includes 2 pdf s on that page I did successfully load in firefox, and also downloaded to my computer, so that rules out the site being faulty or the pdf file itself.
* ( small 1MB pdf, it did seem to take a while, maybe the site is slow/busy)
* see [[Error loading web sites#w_interrupted-or-reset-connection]] - Interrupted or reset connection
* Are you still getting the error messages you mentioned in the original post ?
As a workaround for that particular form, I note it is merely there to complete details and gives the option of attaching it to an email. You presumably will already be in a position to do that.
Regarding the '''link you quote and the 2 pdfs '''
# are you able to download them to your computer, can you confirm again that you did that ?
# do those specific pdf files open on your computer with your adobe reader ?
# confirm, or otherwise, do other pdf files open with firefox, ''' when those pdf files are saved on your computer'''
# what version of reader & plugin are you using, is it the latest version (mine is 9, that worked)

'''From what you are saying you appear to have a problem with the plugin.''' If you are unable to open the pdf with firefox when it is on your computer it is unlikely firefox will open that pdf on the webpage

Can't open PDF Form in Compiled Help

I have several forms (PDF) that I recently converted to allow
for online entry and submission. They open fine in the development
environment (View Selected Item), but as soon as I compile and try
to open them from the CHM I get a page cannot be displayed message.
Has anyone else ran into this? If so, were you able to correct the
problem? What did you have to do?
Fyi...I used Acrobat v8.0 to create the forms.
Thanks!

I figured it out. Somehow the pdf files disappeared from my
baggage folder. I readded the files, compiled, and everything works
fine.

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2. I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update. I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

Can not open PDFs

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and can not open PDFs. For instance, I am trying to download a form from the DMV and the extension is a PDF. Nothing opens and the page is gray. I didn't have this problem with Snow Leopard. I have Adobe Reader 9.5.5. I can open PDFs on my iPad but not the iMac.

Have you tried opening the PDF file with Preview?

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

I can't open PDF's from websites!!!!

Please, I need help! So, I went to attesting.com and was having issues purchasing something from them, so I went to there technical requirements and uploaded their link for Adobe Acrobat Read X. I have a MAC version 10.9.4. It seemed everything was ok. Then I went to my school's website to print a form which is in PDF form and I get this ADOBE LOCKED THIS PDF. or something like that. It doesn't say it now. Now, when I try to open a PDF from a website it says BEFORE VIEWING PDF DOCUMENTS IN THIS BROWSER YOU MUST LAUNCHADOBE READER AND ACCEPT THE END USER AGREEMENT, THEN QUIT, AND RELAUNCH THE BROWSER. So, I've un-installed Adobe and reinstalled Adobe numerous times and I STILL CANNOT GET MY PDF's. I've NEVER had any issue before. Can anyone please help!?!?! I tried contacting Adobe and chatted with someone online and he said that he doesn't help support this issue since it's not something I've paid for. I'm so frustrated and mad! ugh! Any suggestions is much appreciated!

And I've also just realized I can't open PDF's at all. Tried exporting on of the PDF forms from my school website to my desktop and it won't open from my desktop either. It's saying it's empty.

Acrobat 9.4.4 crashes when open PDF forms

We are currently rollout out a Win7 imange and using Microsoft Configuration Manager's task sequence to install Acrobat 9.4.4. to the image. Acrobat works fine when opening regular PDF file. However, Acrobat crashes everytime when opening a PDF form. Our current workaround is repair Acrobat. Once its completed, Acrobat can open PDF forms without any problems. But, the repair takes ~20mins, I am seeking for a easier solution or perhap fix the installation in the image.
I reached out to our Acrobat Platinum support, my call was rerounted 3 times and I was on the phone more than 3 hours. No one wants to take my call and start troubleshoot. Very frustrated. Greatly appreciated for any suggestions and advice. Thank you.

how big is the PDF in MB (more or less according to the loose pages)?
what happens if you save to desktop as xyz_2.pdf for eg.

Customized Workspace Cannot open PDF forms anymore

Hello,
I have customizaed my workspace with Flex Builder 3, Flex SDK 2 Hotfix 3. In previous months, everything is ok, and my workspace with IE 7.0 can open PDF forms inside processes. However, I do not know what is changed, my previous customized workspaces and new customized workspace can not open PDFs inside IE, but works on Mozilla Firefox. I have also tested workspace source without changing anything and deploying my server. However it still can not open PDFs, blank part is shown inside the PDF frame.
It gives an javascript error, 'undefined' is null or not an object is given
Line: 35
Character: 2
Code: 0
Error Message: 'undefined' is null or not an object
URL: http://lctk2:8080/WorkspaceTK/pdfContainer.html?Resource_78CC71E9-E28E-54CE-1451-B5E26744 9195&%2Fworkspace-server%2Fdocuments%2F8129227453799326550-310.pdf&application%2Fpdf
What can be the problem,
Any prompt answers will be appreciated.

PDF forms can be created using Acrobat or LiveCycle but the basic structure of the forms created are very different. If the form is created by Acrobat then Adobe Mobile Reader can open the form. If the form is created by LiveCycle then Adobe Mobile Reader cannot open the form and I suspect there maybe no iOS app that can process the form.
As noted, you need to use a computer to fill-in the form. You also might want to inform the bank about the issue.

Can't open pdf files on IOS 7

Since the upgrade to IOS 7, I can't open PDF FILES. They download all right, but I only see like a pic. I can't open, can't save to pdf, can't see it. Can't nothing. Any help?

I have just downloaded Adobe reader on to ipad 2. I tried opening a Pdf in ibooks and then Adobe reader. I can only get the introductory pages. I can open the full dcument using adobe reader on my Mac?
It is one of those rare occasions where Apple comes off badly against microsoft. Opening a pdf attachment using windows is a doddle. Opening a pdf document on my mac seems to require me to save the document first - clunky to say the least, opening a pdf on ipad - impossible! All in all pretty rubbish. Can't believe they don't have something like this nailed.

Since last update for iOS can't open PDF file in iPhone 5

Since last update on PDF can't open PDF file on iOS.
MSG says that PDF file I'm trying to open is not a valid PDF file but I can open
It on iPad. Any explanations please ?

If you can share this PDF with us at [email protected], we can take a look, and see if there's a bug in Reader for iOS that is preventing us from opening it.
