cfpdfform gives intermittent(!) rights errors in Acrobat Reader

(This question has also been asked in the Acrobat thread.)
Using Acrobat Pro 9.1 (and the corresponding Reader 9.1 on client workstations) I have constructed a fillable PDF form and granted extended Reader rights to it.  I use this form for data-display and modification.  (Cold Fusion 8.)
The process works flawlessly on my machine, which has Reader Pro installed.  But on the Readers it will intermittently throw this error:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and the use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of the document."
Why do I say, "intermittent?"  Because, if you reload the page ... sometimes if you simply resize the browser window ... "suddenly it works."  The document becomes fillable on Reader.  And sometimes the page appears, right from the start, as fillable.  So it's apparently a timing problem.
As I said, the computers are known to have the latest Adobe Reader installed, and not every computer acts the same ... nor does any computer act the same way with any particular consistency.  The forms always have the right data in them, and when the Reader consents to make them fillable, they perform exactly as they are intended.  (To the Adobe team's credit, CF8 makes this remarkably easy to do...)
I can say with certainty that the underlying document (on the server) most definitely is not changing, because it has been made read-only to CF just as a precaution.  I also know that the clocks on all computers are synchronized.  So, I think, a lot of "sensible" causes for the problem can be eliminated ... leaving only the "nonsensical" ones, perhaps.  I'm really looking for a work-around.
I have fiddled with cache-control headers (would like to know more about this...) just because I am grasping at straws now, but with no apparent effect.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
(Heh... I'd attach the "cfm" but ... go figure ... the forum software won't allow the "cfm" or "cfc" or "zip" file-types!) 

I am having the same exact issue.  Did you ever get a resolution to your problem?

  • Error:  Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8 or 9 is required.

    I have windows XP and I recently installed a 9 version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Since then a receive the following error message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required."  I had installed the 9 version.  Any idea why this is happening or more importantly, what should I do to fix it?

  • Text/html processing error with Acrobat Reader when sending to database

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem that occurs in certain versions of the Acrobat Reader, with Acrobat Professional the error message does not pop up.
    In Acrobat Reader however, when sending the form to a php file to fill a database an error pops up
    "Content type text/html couldn´t be processed"
    Nevertheless it works fine, except the fact that the confirmation "successfully sent" that should pop up (and does in Acrobat Professional)  does not appear due to this processing error. What can I do?
    Thanks for supporting!

    Hi,
    I'll only attempt the first part:
    See this discussion where event.target.path.toString().substring(0, 4); was used to get the first four letters of the path. If that equalled "http", then the form was opened in a browser.

  • Script Error Installing Acrobat Reader

    I'm trying to install the latest Acrobat Reader.  I run the 977kb install_reader10_en_mssd_aih.exe.  It completes the download, with progress at 66%, when a script error occurs.
    The message is "An error has occurred in the script on this page.".  Line: 1, Char: 10091, Error: 'ActionLaunchReader' is undefined, Code: 0, URL: http://127.0.0.1:1178/app/_js/adobe.js
    What's happening?  This seems to me to be a problem with a script at Adobe.com.  Is Adobe already working on it?
    Thank you.

    Many thanks, Claudio. I was having a similar problem trying to download the newer Adobe Acrobat 11 using Firefox 17.0 on a Win XP Pro with SP 3. I kept getting a similar script error message; so I followed the link you gave. I was able to download Acrobat 11 with no problems. You earned a gold star, my friend.

  • Pictwpstops error with acrobat  reader

    I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 so I could enter information in a smart PDF file and print. But when I tried to print, I got an error message: pictwpstops - got an error disposing of document. I tried repairing permissions, then I downloaded the latest printer driver (I'm using an HP Deskjet 842c), deleted the old printer in Printer Setup, and reinstalled it with the new driver, but those didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem, but I get one of two errors: either "pictwpstops" or "pstopdffilter." I have an HP deskjet connected directly via USB to my ibook.
    I've turned my printer off, I've reset my printer, I've use CUPS to reset, I've deleted the com.adobe preferences. I also read somewhere that you can try adding a second version of your printer, and THEN deleting the original but that's not working. I'm not sure what else to do.

  • Error installing Acrobat Reader in Debian SID

    Hello,
    The postinst script of the .deb package for Acroread 9.1 in my Debian SID gives the following error:
    $ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -a --configure
    Setting up adobereader-enu (9.1.0) ...
    dpkg: error processing adobereader-enu (--configure):
    subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    adobereader-enu
    However, acroread was installed and is working fine.
    The error message don't gives any clue to fix the problem. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting this.
    We've been trying to reproduce the problem but have been unsuccessful so far.
    Could you please do the following:
    1. Edit the /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobereader-enu.postinst file and put a 'set -x' before the Which () function.
    2. Now run the "LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -a --configure >output.log 2>&1".
    This will generate a file named output.log. Please email the contents of that file to varunk at adobe dot com.
    Thanks again,

  • Printing PDF Error from Acrobat Reader on Firefox

    Hi all !
    I have a website, that can generate PDF Files. Recently, when I generate a PDF from Firefox, and the PDF file is a bit large (like 18MB or 30MB), I can't print if from Firefox.
    The fact is that the preview of the PDF is shown correctly by Adobe Reader plugin, and it is specially in that case when it crashes. I can't print from it and also, I can download to my Desktop but when I open the downloaded file, error (corrupt file).
    The error thrown by Firefox is: (Preview Error. An error occurred when printing. It's not the explicit message because I had translated from Spanish but I think that it's the same)
    I tried from OSX Safari and runs properly, and the diferential fact is that Safari uses native PDF suport, any Adobe Plugin, even when I open from my Desktop, the saved generated file, If I open with Adobe Reader crashes, If I open with Apple Native Preview, runs fine.
    I give you a testing extract:
    Over Firefox 37.0.1, OSX 10.9.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.10: Printing crashes and file Opening Crashes (File Size 16,9MB)
    Over Safari 7.1.2, OSX 10.9.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.10: Printing runs fine and file Opening runs fine (File Size 16,9MB)
    Over Firefox 30, Windows7 Ult. x64  and Adobe Reader 11.0.10: Printing crashes and file Opening Crashes (File Size 30,4MB)
    Testing has been done with multiple source and content PDF files
    Could be caused by some updates?
    Any idea?
    Many thanks

    Hi barcelonamsg
    Are you able to print any other pdf files that aren't generated using that website?

  • Error using Acrobat Reader in W2K Terminsl Services

    We are trying to install Reader 9.0 on a Windows 2003 SP2 64BIT Terminal Services server and have used several methods, but if anyone other thatn an administrator tries to open a PDF or start the program it receives a VB Runtime error and closes after acknowledging the error. The Application log shows: Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 9.0.0.332, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.3053, fault address 0x000046b4.
    I have installed it using the Add Remove Programs (which is suppose to put it in Install mode) and running it the first time as an admin while still in install mode. I also tried manually placing the server in install mode (change user /install) then running the app before putting it in execute mode, same result.
    Any information on getting this to work would be appriaciated.
    Thanks,

    The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.  
    You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
    See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf

  • "an internal error occured", acrobat reader X

    I have Windows 7, running 64  bit.
    Recently I tried to download a PDF file, and the message "an internal error occured" came up.  The website that I tired to download it from then wants to shut down.  I tired to download another pdf file from an email and I get the same thing, "an internal error occured".
    I have scanned my computer for viruses, uninstalled and reinstalled reader X, have also tried to repair it.  NO change.  I have seen similar threads, but the responce was not helpful and did nothing for my problem.  That thread remains unanswered.
    About 4 weeks ago, I had a problem with my wife's account no being seen on start up, and fixed it after scanning and removing a virus.  Not sure if this problem has started since then.
    Any help direction would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the clarification.
    I could see that your application was crashing after receiving the error message. Would it be possible for you to get me the crash dump for the said issue so that I can have a look. You can follow the below mentioned steps to get the same:
        1. Install WinDbg from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
        2. Launch WinDbg via the shortcut
        3. Click File->Open Executable
        4. Select AcroRd32.exe from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and hit "OK"
        5. Remember to press "g" and hit enter when you encounter the first breakpoint and then you will see a text "Debuggeee is running" and Reader will be launched
        6. Open whatever file is it that produces the crash in Reader.
        7. When you have successfully reproduced the sceanrio causing the crash/freezing of Adobe Reader X, enter the below command in the WinDbg terminal
        .dump /ma c:\temp.dmp (Hit enter)
        8. This will produce the crash dump at C:\ by the name of temp.dmp
    Could you please upload the dump (compress the dump using WinZip or likewise) at some site and provide the link for the same.

  • How to disable the world view in Acrobat reader

    Hello all;
    I have searched several times now for a way to permanently turn off the global view/page navigator or whatever it is call that appears in the upper right corner of Acrobat reader when I scroll a document.  Some might find it useful, I find it gets in the way and covers the text I am reading while supplying no value as a navigation aid. 
    I cannot find anything that even references the little view box and gives it a name, much less tells me how to turn it off.
    Help please. 
    Thanks Much
    Nick

    Really, I get it on all my PCs all the time.  Just scroll a document and it pops up without being asked, then you click it close but no sooner do you scroll again and it is back.
    Thanks for looking, I also cannot find any mention of it anywhere, I do not even know its proper name.
    Sad, an undocumented, unwanted, unknown “feature”.
    Thanks MUCH!

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 Printing Issue,

    Hello,
    There is an issue I have been facing now a days. Our company application has been upgraded from oracle 6I to 10g. The output thereby comes as .pdf which is then printed on a pre-printed stationary.
    The situation is there are two printers with two paper size settings and two different stationaries (A4 and letter) installed on each user.
    The issue is when a user selects an A4 printer from the print dailog box of acrobat reader, the preview box won't get updated with the new page lengths, instead would print the output on the last page length settings. Suppose he selects A4 manually from the printer properties it would print fine. But again in the next print when he needs to print letter, acrobat would print with the A4 (last settings) and thus the print-out wont fit on the pre-printed stationary.
    For each customer there is one A4 and one letter print and thereby a user can't affort each time to go in the printer properties and give the page length so acrobat reader would update its preview.
    I would be really appreciated if someone would give me a permanant work around for this.
    I apologize for such a long explanation, and also if this topic is already posted elsewhere.
    Thanks.
