Did something change in Adobe Reader X with xfdf files?

Has something changed with Reader X and how to print .xfdf files?  For several previous versions my program would use reader to print pdf forms with data filled in via .xfdf files.  Once someone updates to ReaderX  then the pdf's print but no data is filled in from the .xfdf files.
So did something change with ReaderX or what it expects in xfdf file?
Thank you,
Steve

Sorry, I cannot find any non-sensitive file for the moment.  I will get into trouble if I upload any of them.
And you're correct: I can't find those strings when I open it in a hex editor.  Is there any utility to let me remove some texts without changing file headers and other properties?
For all my invoice files, they are all generated by the same company.  It's "Free Telecom", an ISP and mobile phone company in France.  But not all invoice files have this issue.  This issue only happens recently, and only happens to invoice generated for ISP, but not for mobile phone.
Here are some more technical info:
If I open the files in PDF-XChange Viewer, I can view some properties.
I have
PDF Producer:  PDF::API2 0.73 [linux]
The following image shows some remaining properties which are too much to type:
Hope this helps

  • Right Mouse "Open With Adobe Reader X" on .xfdf file

    If I right mouse click on a .xfdf file and choose "Open with Adobe Reader" it then opens the correlating .pdf (sometimes I have to browse to it) but the pdf is displayed with fields filled in with values found in the .xfdf file.
    However, after upgrading to Adobe Reader X the data fields are no longer filled in.
    What changed?

    Even when I disable protected mode, I see it doesn't fill the form fields.
    steve042966 , Can you try this once?
    1. Go to Edit -> Preferences.
    2. Uncheck 'Enable Protected mode at startup'.
    Close all Reader instances.
    Try opening xfdf file again and see if it fills form fields now.

  • Did something change with IOS6 and photo stream

    Seems photo stream stopped working with IOS6, did something change?

    I'm having this same issue, and after ruling out other possible factors limiting iCloud backup, I've concluded that the issue IS in fact the Xfinity Arris TG862 (Comcast wireless router). There is a section on Comcast's website that aknowledges a software issue with the router, and a software update will be pushed out at some point, but if you don't want to wait, you can request to have your router replaced, for free. Visit http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net to see a full list of devices, then find your device, and if the text is in red (which would currently be the Arris TG852 and TG862 models), then you can either wait for a software fix, or request a new router at http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Connectivity-and-Modem-Help/bd-p/5
    Hope I could help!

  • I have adobe reader 8 & cannot change to adobe reader X1.Is it OK to stay with 8? Am I missing out?

    I have adobe reader 8 & cannot change to adobe reader X1.Is it OK to stay with 8? Am I missing out?

    The latest versions of Reader have many improvements, including advanced security features. And, why can't you change that old version? Have you tried this?
    Use this tool to remove all traces of all versions of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Adobe reader met with unexpected error

    Hi all,
    I've been bombed with this problem for so long, I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can give any suggestion. The problem is: My adobe reader 7.0.8 or 8.0 are constantly met with unexpected errors. It just doesn't work, I can't open any files with it. Did anyone have similar problems before? Is there any hidden files I have to delete before installing a newer version or something else?
    thanks!!

    Here are more details:
    I had adobe reader 6.0, the only version that was working on my mac, in my application library. I tried to upgrade it to version 8.0. I downloaded and installed adobe reader 8.0 alright, no problems there. But after installation was complete, the Reader restarted itself and crashed, showing me the message "The adobe reader met with unexpected error." and could not even function, not to mention opening any files. It happened with 7.0.8 before as well. I had no other way but to change it back to 6.0. But it's really bugging me because compared to the latest versions, 6.0 isn't really that good. So please help! thanks
    I'm using powerpc G4 ibook tiger 10.4.8

  • Signature verification changes in Adobe Reader 9

    [ I posted this message in the "Adobe Reader" forum, but I have realized that the post that I reference in my message belongs to this "Acrobat SDK" forum. So I've decided to send my post here, although this is not an Acrobat SDK question. Excuse me if you thing that my question should not be in this forum. ]
    Hi all,
    I have found this post in this forum talking about changes in Adobe Reader 9 related to signature verification:
        http://forums.adobe.com/message/2439480#2439480
    I have another scenario:
    A PDF with two signatures.
    After the first signature, a new page was added and then the PDF was signed again (using signature appearance).
    Using Adobe Reader 8.1.5, the result of signature verification is successful for both signatures.
    In fact, the byte range of the first signature is intact after adding the second signature.
    But if I open it with Adobe Reader 9.2.0, the verification result is invalid signature (for the first signature): the document has been modified and there is a new page.
    Since it seems that Adobe Reader 9 has added some new checks when verifying signatures, does anybody know (or know where can it be found) the list of new signature verification requirements of Adobe Reader 9 ?
    Or the list of changes allowed in Adobe Reader 9 that do not invalidate signatures ?
    Maybe a list similar to the changes allowed in the three types of certified signatures (TransformParams)?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Thanks, lrosenth.
    The document I was searching for is in Adobe site and is called "Adobe Acrobat 9 Digital Signatures, Changes and Improvements".

  • Adobe reader not open the file immediately after saving it  with Microsoft Office

    I have an older version Adobe Reader 9, and worked fine until today. I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06).
    I have Window´s Office 2010 on my computer. When I save a document on *pdf file, Adobe starts automatically and open the document (Open file after publishing.) After the upgrade, documents are not open automatically and shows the next message:  "There was an error  during initialization. An internal error ocurrred." and  "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". But if I try manually, files are open. How do I fix this problem.

    I'm having a similar issue.  The .pdf files open fine locally, but when I put them up online, they will not open and I get the same error message.  If I download and save the files, they show a 1KB file size instead of 168KB.
    Drive space is not an issue (looking at over 225GB of free space on the main drive).
    In searching on-line, the main cause I am finding is receiving the file via e-mail and a decoding issue.  This is not the case with these files as they were created on my machine and uploaded using Filezilla to the server.  I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a windows box running Vista Ultimate.
    Any ideas on what would be causing this issue?

  • In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

    Short :
    In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
    Detailed:
    We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
    It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
    Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
    I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
    We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
    Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
    P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
    Thanks in advance.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • How to open Adobe Reader DC with Tools Closed

    I do NOT like Adobe Reader opening with the right column expanded.
    Also in all previous versions I could save my login for protected pdf files and when I open them back up they require a login again.  This is NOT how I want to work with Adobe Reader.
    Adobe Reader XI was so much better.

    Before the DC version we were able to save our passwords from University of Phoenix and when opening the document saved to our computer it would unlock automatically.  This new version DC will not allow this even when you say Yes.
    The Right Column in previous versions would allow to disable until requested to appear this version it opens regardless.
    Just my opinion here  Adobe Failed at customer satisfaction on this UPGRADE.
    Regards a unhappy Adobe user.

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

    If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.

  • Adobe Reader Performance with Protect Mode On

    We are getting very poor performance in opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, particularly for users remote from our central server.  With Protected Mode off, performance is much better (10-20X faster opening).  Note that we are running Windows 7 with Application Data Roaming and Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, Protected View off, and Advanced Security on.  We have diagnosed the problem as follows: We are using the Windows 7 Application Roaming Data feature to house some profile data for our remote users, and when they try to open a PDF document with Protected Mode on, Adobe sends numerous I/O packets (approximatel 6000!) across the "wire" for security checking against the Application Roaming data file on the central server, thus greatly slowing PDF opening.  We would like to know the following: 1) Is there a way to turn-off Protected Mode for company server stored documents, while keeping it active for documents received from external sources (e.g. from the internet, e-mail, etc.). 2) is there a way to have Protect Mode security verification done only on the local machine profile data and not on the centrally stored Application Roaming Data file (thus greatly reducing the "across the wire" I/O traffic).  Thanks for any help, CCB.

    I don't think any of the scenarios you are envisaging are possible.  Protected Mode is enabled/disabled on a user basis (in HKEY_USERS).

    In addition to that symptom, I discovered that even though I had closed all Adobe Reader sessions, the processes kept running and used up 90%+ of my CPU.

  • Using adobe reader to open PDF files.

    I downloaded, and had to delete and try again, adobe reader.  I couldn't open the PDF files I wanted to.  What did I do wrong?  I tried this 3 times.  One sight I needed to download and print allowed me to go to my applications open Adobe Reader and download it then to my computer. However, then I had to securely trash it as it wasn't something I wanted to keep on my computer being a finance page.  Another company I tried to do it that way after it said it coudn't read it, and it didn't work.  I never had this trouble before until I downloaded this new adobe reader.  What did I do wrong?

    Thank you for the reply.  Answer to your operating system I have is:  Mac OSX Version 10.7.5
    I did download and install  Adobe Reader XI  11.0.0
    This is a different version that I first had, and I don't know where the first version went.
    This all started when our internet provider had problems that went to all areas.  I might have been working on something when I lost my original...now sure.
    When I tried to download a bank statement (and I tried to different banks using Firefox and Safari) I get the message:
    "Adobe Reader Cannot Show Documents in this browser.
    We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration. Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.  To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off add-ons, and some are able to show this document, natively.  Please contact your browser vender for more details."
    I don't know what they mean by "natively."
    Then I get a gray screen that said adobe plug-inn had crashed so I could report it so I did.  Nothing happened with that.
    Next, I checked to see that my add-ons were turned off and they were, but then I saw the plug-in section and ran it to see if my plug-in's were up-to-date.  All were except when I came to Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Pug-in, Version 11.0.11.   Under it was a notice:  Notice Adobe recommend Acrobat Reader 9.3.  So I clicked on that and it brought me back to the screen to download Adobe Reader XI 11.0.0.  This seems to have brought me back to the beginning of the circle.
    ?  I definitely am stumped.  I guess I'm going to try to internet to see if I can get to Acrobat Reader 9.3.
    Thank you.  Eilsher

  • Adobe Reader does not recognize file name (filename10.5.11.pdf) but does in Adobe Standard 9.  Why?

    I post documents to our Intranet site and found out recently that Adobe Reader does not recognize certain file names in PDF files.  For instance,  when trying to open a PDF file with the name
    filename10.5.11.pdf  in Adobe Reader, the web browser will not open the PDF and the display is blank.   When I'm using another computer with Adobe Standard 9, I do not have a problem opening the file.
    I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar issue and why Reader will not recognize the file name and Standard does.

    The version is Adobe Reader 10.1.0    I will request the latest version
    and let you know if that fixes the problem
    Actually I had changed the name of the file so our associates could access
    the file (changed the  .  to a hyphen)  It still made me wonder why Reader
    wouldn't open it at that time.
    Thanks again for you assistance and I will let you know if this resolves
    the  issue.
    Regards,
    Susan

    Hi Susan,
    Thanks for providing the information.
    Could you also let me know what is the exact version of Adobe Reader on
    your system. You can check the same y clicking on Help > About Adobe
    Reader X.
    In case its not 10.1.1, please try updating to the latest version and see
    if the problem persists.
    Also, does any other PDF with a different filename open in Internet
    Explorer correctly?
    Thanks
    Ankit
