Designer 8.0 Form compatibility with Reader 6.0 - error message

I created a form in Designer 8.0. I saved it to be compatible with 7.0, but for the most part need for it to be compatible with Reader 6.0, which is not an available option. This form actually works fine in Adobe Reader 6.0 but whenever a user initially opens the form, a message pops up advising the user that all features may not work and recommending that the user upgrade. Clicking on OK then produces a new message advising the user that they must upgrade and providing the link. Notwithstanding that message, if the user clicks Cancel the form opens and can be used as intended, with a few nonfunctioning features (like the Print button on the form). Most of the intended users are running Adobe Reader 6.0, so any help on preventing one or both of messages would be very much appreciated. (Note: This same issue was posted on March 2, 2006 related to Designer 7.0, but no answer was supplied. Im hoping there is an answer to this issue for Designer 8.0).

Designer 7.0 form working with Reader 7.0.5 but not Reader 7.0.8

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with a formed created using Designer 7.0 that was working with Reader 7.0.5 but no longer functions with Reader 7.0.8?
The form consists of a numeric textbox N1 and 2 checkboxes C1[0] and C1[1].
All code is done using FormCalc.
Here is the situation: if the number in the numeric box is blank or not greater then zero, then neither check box can be checked. Both check boxes can not be checked at the same time. If the value in the numeric box is greater then zero, the checkboxes may or may not be checked (again both can not be checked at the same time).
N1 has code the following code in its exit event:
if (($.isNull) or ($.rawValue le 0)) then
C1[0].rawValue = 0 //if not positive value, checkboxes must be blank
C1[1].rawValue = 0
endif
C1[0] has the following code in its click and exit event
if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
$.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
C1[1] has the following code in its click and exit event
if (C1[1].rawValue == 1) then
C1[0].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
The above code worked exactly as described when the form was used in Reader 7.0.5.
Under Reader 7.0.8 the following happens:
if N1 is blank or less then or equal to zero, both checkboxes can be checked at the same time (this should not happen at all) but neither can be unchecked
if N1 is positive the code (and checkboxes) function as described.
I am not sure if this is a Designer issue or a Professional/Reader issue, so I am posting this here as well as in the other 2 spots.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Ben

Chris,
Thank you for the sample you provided. First, I must apologize for not mentioning that there was additional code in the Click event. I thought I had removed it from my form, but apparently I had not.
I have compare the sample you provided to my form. I noticed several differences between them. First was that you used Designer 7.1 to create your sample, whereas I used Designer 7.0. I do not believe that this will have an impact, although it is possible. Also, in your sample, then click and exit events both need to contain the same "check" code. Your sample has one IF statement in the click event and one IF statement in the exit event. To match my form code, the Click and Exit events together need to contain both IF statements. My form originally contained the code in the Change event also.
i.e. C1[0] has the following code in both its Click, Exit and Change events
if (C1[0].rawValue == 1) then
C1[1].rawValue = 0 //C1[0] and C1[1] can not both be checked
endif
if ((N1.isNull) or (N1.rawValue le 0)) then
$.rawValue = 0 //uncheck if N1 is not positive
endif
and similarly for C1[1].
Based off your sample, I did some more digging and found that the problem is caused by the Change event for the checkboxes. I have removed the code from the Change event and now the form works as desired.
So, if the Change event has NO code, and if the Click and Exit events for the checkboxes have both IF statements the overall behavior (as specified earlier) is identical (and what I am looking for) for both Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8.
Now, if I add the IF statements to the Change event (without removing them from Click and Exit), the behavior in Reader 7.0.5 does not change (works as specified). In Reader 7.0.8, the checkboxes can not be unchecked if N1 is blank.
So my questions now become:
1) What has actually changed between Reader 7.0.5 and 7.0.8 (i.e. more detailed description than the generic release notes)?
2) Which one actually exhibits the correct behavior?
3) If this is a change to the event model, is this documented anywhere?
Thanks again,
Ben

Form compatability with Reader

I've created a dynamic XML form (*.PDF) and set the default compatability to Acrobat/Reader 8.0 in LiveCycle ES (v 8.2.1.3144.1....) and when I go to open it on a computer with 9.2 reader, I get a message indicating that it requires the Traditional Chinese Language Support package. When I try to open it in 8.2 Reader, it just gives the standard message that I need a later version of the PDF viewer (note that this same message appears behind the Traditional Chinese Language Support Package dialog box when opening in 9.2).
I have gone through the document and don't see anything referring to fonts or anything else Chinese related. My form properties indicate the form locate as English (USA).
Any ideas?

Thank you for going through all of that. I had done the same thing over the weekend and found the same thing. Just for anyone running into this problem down the road, here is what I did:
- Instead of directly importing the Word document into LiveCycle (that generated a master page for every page in the document which was undesireable although I'm not sure why) I used the Adobe PDF/Convert to Acrobat PDF option that gets added to Word when you install Acrobat Pro. In that I had selected the option to embed the fonts and used the 6.0 compatibility option.
- When that was opened with the LiveCycle, the way I found the discrepency was by noticing that the font that was showing for each of the controls was "TimesNewRoman" (no spaces between the words) and any new controls that I put on the form where I wanted that same font showed as "Times New Roman" (spaces between words).
Again, many thanks for wading through that whole thing. There are many things about the conversion which were undesireable, namely that any paragraph of static text got broken into the separate Text areas for each line, and where a given line had an embedded word or words that were bolded/italicized/underlined, the conversion turned that single Text area into 3 different ones...the first for the text leading up to the bold/italicized/underlined word(s), a second for the those word(s) and a third for the remaining text. That is quite messy, however I'm not sure that creating a document of the length I had (12 pages) would any easier to create from scratch in LiveCycle.
Don't get me wrong...this is a really powerful tool, but it is a bit klugey to use for developing documents from scratch.

Can I style Web Forms Confirmation Page Results - Specifically the "ERROR" message in the results?

Hi,
Can I style Web Forms Confirmation Page Results - Specifically the "ERROR" message in the results?
{module_webformresults} is auto rendedered as a table with CSS IDs attached but nothing specific for the ERROR message - resulting in the error not being seen.
The ERROR is triggered by a dulplicate User Name or Password.
I tried using a JQuery text selector, but it does not work with the results for some reason.
Any ideas?
Attached is are the error results, see Username
Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
It should work. You know the id of the specific area, you know what string to search for in order to condition the appearance of the new message.
Kind Regards,
Alex

Did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

Why not contact HP tech support for assistance since they make the printer. While on their site you can look for an updated printer driver. Otherwise, try deleting the current installed driver, reset the print system, then reinstall your printer's driver.

If you haved tried all the fixes and suggestions, there is not much to add. Just in case: did you really try using this tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to first eliminate all traces of Reader, and then use the full offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

ADOBE ACROBAT 8 PRO. COMPATIBILITY WITH READER 8

I have been creating forms successfully with them being edited by people with any version of Acrobat Reader. All of a sudden, certain version of Reader can not save my interactive forms and can only print hard copies - is this the result of a recent software update? Or is there a tick box I need to reset?
Any help greatly appreciated as always

Thanks - I got there in the end, I was looking for the ability to change the settings in Livecycle Designer and didn't realise you had to open re-open the doc in Acrobat to enable user rights.

How to make a form compatible with reader 6

Hello,
I made a form in LiveCycle 8 using the order form template. However, users get an error message saying they need reader 7.05 to display the form properly. The form does display properly in 6, so something built in that is not being used must trigger this
I don't need any info to be sent anywhere, I just need users to fill out the form on screen, then print and fax it to me.
Is there a way I can save my form in a format that allows it to work with version 6 of reader.
The form is using some formcalc fields.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for tip. I tried it but unfortunately it still needs 7.08 to work and I'm not sure why. Even worse is the automatic updater that runs just downloads 7.0. So a user downloads the update, then gets another error message saying they need an even newer version of reader. Very lame.
Plus, once you do get the 7.08 update and open the file you get no less than three pop ups about not saving the file, auto fill options, and one other I forget. Overall a very awkward way to view a very simple file.
I was hoping this would make it easier for customers to fill out a form but it looks like it will accomplish the opposite.

How to allow attachments on forms saved with Reader Extensions?

I have a Livecycle developed form that includes action builder buttons to attach other documents. When I re-save the form with 'Reader Extensions', the attach buttons no longer work. Is there a way to allow this functionality? How?
Thanks.

Of course. This facility is only available with Reader extension server. You need to apply reader Extension permissions for the form and specifically , you need to add Embedded File Attachments reader extension.

Sharepoint 2010, InfoPath 2010 with Custom Workflow. Error Message: InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while form was submitted...

I have created an InfoPath form that submits to a Sharepoint library with custom workflow attached. The workflow is initiated when the user submits the form. An email is sent to the supervisor who clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and approved
the form via the emailed form. Then, based on certain criteria the form is either emailed to the VP or the workflow is complete. The VP is sent an email and clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and sumbits the form via the emailed form. This is
how I would like it to work. The reality is, the form submits and is emailed to the supervisor and the supervisor is able to approve but when the form is sumbitted I get an error. The error is "InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while
this form was being submitted. The form cannot be submitted to the following location: <URL> The file <URL> is checked out for editing by <me> The operation completed successfully." The operation did not complete successfully and it
is not checked out. I have read in previous posts that the file is locked. Since I am in the testing faze of the project there is no one else using the form. I have waited 24 hours and the lock has not been released. Please help!!! My deadline is growing short.

I ran into your post while having a similar issue. I don't have a 'full' fix for you, but I noticed at least in our case if you made sure you opened the Infopath form through the browser instead of the client Infopath program (use the drop-down menu
and open in browser) the error doesn't occur. Hope that helps some....
