CS3 Lifecycle PDF form issues opening and blank pages
I downloaded a PDF form and added text fields, numeric and calculated fields (FormCalc) using Lifecylce in CS3. I now have CS5 and Lifecycle ES When I use the original form and input data it calculates and looks fine. I can open it no issues. I email it to my clients, some say the fields are blank, some say they get an error opening it, others have no issues. Do I need to make some sort of changes to the PDF file, or maybe the ones that can't open or see blank don't have the correct version of Reader?
I can provide the file if necessary
Everything seems to be in order .....can you send the problem PDF to [email protected] and I will try to reproduce the issue. Please include a description of the issue in the email as there is no corelation between the email and this forum.
Thanks
Paul

PDF forms "print" as totally blank pages
I am using a Mac running Mavericks. I have created a layout in InDesign, exported a PDF, then made form fields using Acrobat Pro XI. I then save the form using the "Enable More Tools" option so that people using Reader can save and print. The problem is that when people open, fill out and save the form using Acrobat Standard X, they cannot print the file. Pages do come out of the printer, but they are totally blank. No field data, no background form layout. Nothing. Right now, we are working around it by using the advanced > print as image setting out of Acrobat X, or by installing Reader XI. While these solutions work for our internal people, these files need to be sent outside of our company where we don't know what software will be used to fill them out. As a side note, forms originally created in Acrobat Pro X print fine. This problem has appeared after I updated to Pro XI and other users ar still on Standard X.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there any solutions that can be applied to the form PDF file itself, so we don't have to deal with software compatibility issues for outside users?
Thanks to anyone who may be able to provide insight on this issue.I am having this same issue. I used photoshop to create my form layout, exported as pdf and imported into acrobat. I have tried a variety of different things (color modes, optimizing the pdf, different save modes, etc), none of them have worked. The only way to get the form to not print blank pages is setting to print in grayscale or print as image. You can't simply download the form, fill it out and press print. This solution is not viable for external people who use these forms.
I should note I have adobe acrobat 10 and the issue of printing blank pages only occurs in adobe reader 11. All other PDF reading programs (reader 10 and below and acrobat) work fine. I never had this issue before, only recently but my process for building forms hasn't changed. -
PDF file gets open with blank page behind in IE7
Hi ,
We have recently upgraded the IE from IE6 to IE7 version.
Now when we are tring to open the PDF file ,it opens in Adobe Acrobat reader leaving the blank page in the behind.
Bur earlier i.e. in IE6 we were able to open the PDF in the browser itself , no additional blank page pops up.
We need to open the PDF in Popup page(i.e. in IE browser itself ).
Could you please let me know what settings need to do in Adobe Acrobat Reader/IE7 .

Configuring the browser to open PDF files within the browser window
When you install Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a system that includes a browser, you automatically configure the browser to open PDF files within the browser window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader install ActiveX plug-in files that allow you to use Internet Explorer or AOL to open PDF files. If either application is installed, but PDF files don't open in the browser window, then work through the following steps to configure the browser.
Make sure that the ActiveX folder contains files required for web browsing.
To open PDF files in a browser window, the ActiveX folder must contain the following files: AcroPDF.dll, AcroIEHelper.dll, and pdfshell.dll.
The ActiveX controls should be located in: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX
If any of these files are missing, then repair Acrobat or Adobe Reader by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation, or reinstalling the application.
Restart Windows to make sure all registry changes are registered, -

I noticed when I restart Firefox 4, it opens my previous tabs even I set the option "Open a blank page" and it opens blank page when I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Please ignore my question if you're already aware of this issue. Thanks.
Your previous tabs will not re-open or be available to re-open when starting Firefox if:

-Why when I open same PDF in Photoshop in opens as blank page (all the graphic info disappears)???
-And why when I'm trying to measure a page in the "image size" (in order to send to client, for example) the graphic info disappears as well??Hi Mac Attack,
My computer will not disconnect from the internet. It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy
Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.
Have a look at your settings in Safari > Preferences. Especially General and Privacy.
Reset Safari to remove cookies and other stored data.
System Preferences > General
Have a look at your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
Call back with more questions.

PDF form in mac and macbook pro
Hello,
Are there any known issues opening and filling a PDF form created in Windows 7 on a MAC or Macbook Pro? I occasionally get
users who cannot open the form. Not sure of the exact OS they are using but they have advised they have updated to the latest
version of the acrobat reader for their system. One such error message is seen below:
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.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.
Thanks

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines. -
Suddenly Can't Open PDFs in Firefox. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab. Nice timing, with finals and everything where I need to view PDFs of practice tests.
Mozilla Firefox did not do their job, here. I am an editor and am constantly online. Now, I have to go to Safari to download PDFs. I reinstalled an earlier version of Firefox to get rid of the problem, but somehow Firefox has deactivated my PDF download feature. This is a total wreck and I am so angry I could spit. Stop launching new products until you have fully tested them. Customers are not your guinea pigs. Please fix this now- and fire a few idiots on the way- the ones who let this happen.

a hyperlink click to a pdf document in a website does not open a pdf document instead presents a blank page "searching for bookmarks"
Check the settings as shown in the [[opening PDF files within Firefox]] article.

Usually the browser will take the user to info pages when a click on blue text is done. My browser just opens a blank page and has "search history and bookmarks and then just sits there. I can change that so it will do nothing and the message is "type a web address". It used to work fine. How can I fix this.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] -
When I search for a web sites, it gives a list of connected web site.
If I click a particular web site, it immediately opens a blank page and says"done" at the bottom of the page. The opened web address is wrong even though the link property shows the correct address.
What is wrong?
Chandra DhasPublish your site to a local folder and launch it in your browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the problem exists there.

After iPad update I can't access my notes! Crashes opening with blank page. I have tried turning on and off. I have tried the reset to original. I have tried downloading again. Now what? I have important information that I need to get....
If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?
Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?
Hi Keith,
PDF Pack is a conversion tool which would convert PDF to different formats and vice versa. It cannot be used for reading PDFs.
If you want to open and read PDF file you can use Adobe Reader.
You can download Adobe Reader from below mentioned link.

let me know if you have any other questions.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
