Compatability Issues - Blank Forms

I have sent out a from with sections filled in and saved.
A client got back to me saying the form was blank, yet from my end and all the office macs, it has the correct data.
The form was created and filled out in Acrobat Pro XI
Obviously this is at their end, but how do I go about making sure there a no compatibility issues with my forms in future?
Thanks

You need to establish exactly what software is installed and used. The distinction between "installed" and "used" is important. Many people do not realise that if a PDF is viewed in a browser such as Chrome or Firefox, that these will be default IGNORE Adobe Reader even if it is installed. You cannot make a form compatible with every PDF viewer as many do not even show forms; worse, others break them.

Oracle 9i Bug Or Compatability issue with Forms 5

I create this function in Ora 8 and using it in Forms 5. It working fine in forms trigger When-Create-Record.
But when I migrate to Ora 9, it working in SQLs but in forms 5 it genrates an error:
ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel
CREATE OR REPLACE function GenerateEmpoyeeID
return char
is
mEmpID char(5);
Begin
select substr(decode(length(max(to_number(empcode))),1,
'0000'||to_char(max(to_number(empcode))+1),2,
'000'||to_char(max(to_number(empcode))+1),3,
'00'||to_char(max(to_number(empcode))+1),4,
'0'||to_char(max(to_number(empcode))+1),to_char(max(to_number(empcode))+1)),1,5)myid
into mEmpID
from ( select empcode from empmst_5
union
select empcode from delmst_6 );
return (mEmpID);
End;
So, please tell me the right way against this Oracle error. I don't want to use it with If-Else statement.

Out of interest have you tried returning VARCHAR2 rather than CHAR?

Screen Compatibility issue when form runs.

my screen Flick and show message The color scheme has been change to window basic when form run in internet explorer in win7.

Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

Multi-platform compatibility issue with my fillable pdf

Hey guys/gals -
Here is the run down: I created a fillable PDF for use with my clients to collect data prior to meetings because the original fillable word document that my firm provided was running into issues - especially with mac users. The auxiliary goal that I had for a fillable PDF - in addition to cross platform compatibility - was for my busy clients to be able to complete the form on their iphones/ipads on the go. Unfortunately, I have been receiving emails from clients saying that the document wont save or saying that the completed document is attached and it is returned completely blank and I was hoping for some expert help. I've attached my document below and would really appreciate your thoughts/wisdom on how I can fix it.
To summarize:
Problems
Clients complaining that they can't save the document
Mac Preview destroys the document
Client's say the document is fully completed but when I open the attachment it is blank
Goals
Create a fillable form that works on mac & pc in addition to mobile devices
Cannot use form central or like online services due to data sensitivity
Thanks in advance for everyone's thoughts/help!

I'll repeat the recommendation to not use Preview. As the form author, you can't prevent it unless you add some JavaScript that activates the fields if it's used in a PDF viewer that provides sufficient support.
If you receive a form that was filled-in and saved with Preview, it may appear blank but actually contain form data. You can open the form in Acrobat and export the form data to FDF/XFDF and import it into a blank form, which you can then save.
For users who cannot save, you should Reader-enable the form in Acrobat or tell your users to use Reader 11. In Acrobat 11 you Reader-enable by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Is there a compatibility issue with the iPod Touch 4th generation and the TomTom carkit that worked fine with my 1st generation iPod Touch?

I recently purchased a new iPod Touch. The "keyboard" of my first generation was beginning to play up, but it still worked fine with my TomTom carkit (if you'll allow for the fact that being restricted to OS 3 meant you couldn't update the software either). But, contrary to what I'd been told, the fourth generation one refuses to work. I think it's making contact because I hear the connection beep, but it doesn't charge up or seem able to find the satellite connection. I've seen someone saying it was a physical width problem. If it's making contact, why isn't it capable to pick up a signal? Is there a compatibility issue after all?

Got you! Why this didn't come up in my search before, have no idea. So it's all a question of design... How mean not to inform manufacturers of accessories about the change in specs. About to try the folded-over business card solution and then Velcro if the former doesn't give satisfaction. Did actually buy a silicon case, but it makes the protective filter buckle as it gets under the edges which isn't exactly useful. Went back to my previous leather case which I have to remove to use the car kit...

Compatibility of adobe forms

I am a newbie to Adobe forms. We have a requirement in which we need to create forms and ask our customers to fill those forms. Most of the form elements would be long text fields for essay type questions , or simple text fields for (name, title, date etc). We are worried about the compatibility of these forms across different versions of Acrobat reader and different Operating systems (Mac, Windows XP , Vista, 7 etc). (We didn't have a good experience with PDF forms due to compatibility issues.)
Would you please advice on best practices? Points that we need to take care of. Does Adobe provides server to build forms for customer (based on their requirements?)
thank you

Hi,
Let me point you to the overview of Adobe FormsCentral and LiveCycle products:
FormsCentral: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1413
LiveCycle: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle.html
LiveCycle Designer: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/tools/designer.html
It depends on what kind of workflow you will have, FormsCentral will not provide you to customize the form server, whereas, LiveCycle will allow you to do so.
Based on your example (your first paragraph) you can try FormsCentral Web form, these are HTML forms and user will use common web browsers (for example, IE, Safari...etc) to fill out and submit their form. As for FormsCentral PDF form, as long as you use Adobe Acrobat/Reader or mobile Reader in your form workflow then incompatibility issues should be very minimum.
I believe you could sign up as a free user to try the products out and see which one fits your needs best.
Thanks,
Lucia

3G Compatibility Issues

I have noticed that there are a few scattered posts regarding problems with the 3rd Gen Nanos and 3rd party accessories. We have 1st, 2nd, and now a 3rd Gen Nano. We also have Altec Lansing IM3, IMPlus speakers, as well as a generic wall charger which all work fine with the 1st gen and 2nd gen nanos. For the first 5 weeks of ownership, the 3rd gen Nano worked/charged normally with the aforementioned items, then it started acting up. When attached to the above accessories, the screen would freeze and the face controls would not work and the Nano would not charge, unplugging the Nano would bring the Nano back to full functionality. The 3rd Gen does charge using the PC USB cable. The 1st Gen and 2nd Gen Nanos still function as designed when attached to these same items.
We tried the 5 R's, even rolled back the version to 1.0.1, sent the unit to Apple service (unit was sent back and sent back with "no problems found" along with a form letter which obviously had been photocopied numerous times with the ever helpful tips on how to charge my ipod).
I can sort of understand it if the 3rd Gen Nanos were incompatible with older 3rd party accessories (not great from an existing customer standpoint), but I do not understand how our 3rd Gen was compatible for 5 weeks and now isn't.
Does anyone know if the 3rd Gens are indeed incompatible with accessories that are compatible with the 1st Gen and 2nd Gen units?
Is everyone having these compatibility issues or only a lucky select few?
Thank you in advance!

i wish there was a solution. i'm a computer tech and i have 2 clients with windows 7 and outlook 2010 with this problem. i've contacted both apple and microsoft and both blame the other for the problem. i haven't been able to find any answers on the forums either.

Adobe Reader 9 Compatibility Issues

Hi,
Are there any compatibility issues faced by anyone with ActiveX or Native forms in Adobe Reader 9.0?
Please do let me know.
Regards,
Arafat

I downloaded (5 times) Adobe Reader 9. At 98.7% of the installation process, I get this error message.."The feature you are tying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
"Click OK again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "AdbRdr812_en_us.msi" in the box below.
I have no idea where this file may be, and fully expect Adobe to be able to find its own files!
Since attempting to download Reader 9. I have lost the ability to read .pdf files online, with the error message Can not launch Acrobat".
After Acrobat -says- it's installed itself, I get this error message...
"Error 1714.The older version of Adobe Reader 9 cannot be removed.
Contact your technical support group."
I am my only technical support group, and really really don't care for this rigamarole, losing "features" I had.
What is going on?

IBM6400 Compatibility Issue

We are facing the following situation after the upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6.0
A user tries to take print out from IBM6400 Model Line printer of Payslip
But he can see extra blank lines (almost 5 lines on the top of the page from the second page onwards).
The printer used is of Model IBM 6400 with format X_65_80.
But when we try the local front end printing on the same spool request, there are no extra lines being shown.
We suspect some compatibility issue after upgrade.
Kindly share if you have had any issues like this before.
Thanks & Regards
Shyam

I think it is not a upgrade problem...
Check the printer properties -> gutter parameter
or Install latest printer driver...

Yoga 2 pro / win8.1 - "Compatibility issue with your power management system"

Hi,
After downgrading form win10 back to 8.1 due to endless driver malfunction and a significant decrease in overall performance, I got this message in windows action center: “Compatibility issue with your power management system”. When I click on it it says: This solution could not be downloaded
Most likely causes:
• Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later. As you can see, my internet connection is fine. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks,
Daniel

Check if installing this helps you:

If you already did this, check if you can do this BIOS update as well:

Mac OS X Preview application and phantom blank form fields

I created a "employment application form" for my company in Acrobat. Occasionally our HR department will get a returned application form with the "phantom blank form fields". The information is there but invisible. I used the export form data and have been able to recover the data and make a viewable .pdf again but I would like to see if any one else has been encountering problems like this and what the solution may be.
In this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4746439 Brian points out that it's likely that folks are using the Mac OS X Preview rather than Reader to fill in the form (thought for a long time that it was some sort of platform issue - the Mac thing makes perfect sense). Is there a way that I could possibly avert this problem when creating and distributing the document out of Acrobat?

I am having trouble accessing webmail on TalkTalk (formerly Tiscali) using Firefox 5.0 and TalkTalk tell me there is a compatibility issue?

I had no problem with my previous version of Firefox and I can access my TalkTalk/Tiscali webmail using the latest IE browser. I am able to sign in but cannot access the mailbox contents. When I asked TalkTalk about the problem they have stated the following "If you are unable to access the mailbox using Firefox version 5, then I would like to inform you that there is compatibility issue with Firefox version 5 and Talk Talk webmail, due to which you are getting the above error. You can also try uninstalling the latest version of firefox and then reinstall it to the earlier version to resolve the case." May I assume that between you this difficulty will be resolved? I would prefer to use Firefox and do not wish to revert to IE.

Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
Does it work?
