Distribute Form does nothing in Acrobat 9.0 Standard with XP Pro

I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 and Adobe Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard via Enterprise Distribution (all features avaialble, none disabled).
I made sure that (up top) Advanced > "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save in Adobe Reader..." was selected and saved in this document.
When I click (up top) on Form > "Distribute Form", I get either no response or the Next button does not work (when trying to distribute by Outlook email).
I have used Add/Remove Programs and repaired the installation. Repair ran successfully. No change to Adobe...
I also removed the installation, rebooted, reinstalled from enterprise distribution successfully, and rebooted. No change to Adobe...
What should I try next?

Thanks for your reply.
I downloaded and applied all 19 updates, rebooting where required, and now I am up on Acrobat Standard v9.5.1. This did not resolve the issue...
I still get no action when I click Next on the "How do you want to collect responses from your recipients?" window with "Manually collect responses in my email inbox" chosen in the drop-down box. When I select "Automatically collect responses on my own internal server" in the drop-down box and then click next I can proceed to the next window and select a network folder or sharepoint server, but I will have to use my email for this distribution (some recipients are outside my company, and I don't have a sharepoint server to use)...
Also, just to be sure my first form wasn't corrupted, I created a new PDF document from my original Word document using the Start Form Wizard. The PDF created cleanly with no links or bookmarks. I did not use the "Extend Forms Fill-In" separately as you suggested. I just left it as the Form Wizard created it, then I added the four separate digital signature field boxes, one at a time (neither copying, nor using Place Multiple Fields).
This new form also would not distribute by email. What to try now?

No it doesn't. You need to purchase it from Microsoft.

Distributing Forms in LiveCycle using Acrobat 9

I have created a four page form with flowable subforms and calculated fields. The form works fine in preview but for some reason I can't get it to distribute. The final form is anywhere from 1 to 4 pages depending on the options the user selects/needs.
I can get the response file to generate but when it starts the distribute process it hangs up and then will not respond. I have am working on a network environment and have tried two different computers to get the form to work.
I have gone back through the whole form and set all the form field options to limit the length of characters in each field to try to optimize the form performance.
Any suggestions?

I would guess that Acrobat Pro isn't compatible with Safri 4.0.3 yet, and perhaps even 10.6, but only Adobe really knows, so you'd be better off asking them. If it's not, I'm sure they'll release a patch or update of some kind after 10.6 ships.
If I were you, I'd uninstall the portion of Acrobat that normally works with Safari to render PDF files and use the built-in rendering abilit of Safari itself. Not only is that simpler, but Acrobat Pro is a huge memory hog.

Language Problem when installing Acrobat 8.0 Standard with Customization Wizard

Hello,
i would like to install Acrobat 8.0 Standard in German on several PCs.
I created a mst-File with the Customization Wizard and it works except for the language settings. The default language is always English. I found a registry key to switch to German:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Language\current]
@="exlang32.deu"
This works for Acrobat but the Add ins for Microsoft Office are still in English. Is there a way to change the language settings for the Add ins?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Thomas

I Have the same problem but with the Swedish, Danish version
If I use the Customization Wizard the Danish language is ignored
msiexec /i "acrostan.msi" TRANSFORMS="acrostan.mst"
I have added this keys after the installation
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Language\current]
@="exlang32.dan"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Language\next]
@="exlang32.dan"
but It wont help
Who can help with this
Regards
Stefan Jørgensen ;-)

When trying to distribute form I get message Acrobat 9.2 has encountered a problem and needs to clos

Has anyone had this problem and solved it? I'm just trying to email the fillable document to myself so that I can post it on our website. I can't get tech support because I have a volume license.
Thank you in advance!

Hi- I'm using form distribution, not "attach to email."
(If I'm just in my form and click on the submit button I put in, it sends the filled out form nicely to my email. But it refuses to send it (and I get that error message about Adobe having "encountered a problem and needing to close") when I'm in "form distribution" and trying to send it to myself, or any other email address for that matter.

Incompatibility of Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows 7

I have a new 64 bit Windows 7 computer and have been getting an error message when trying to install AA 6.0 standard--not compatible with the operating system. Any thoughts?

The real problem is the 64-bit aspect. Also, AcroTray will not generally work, meaning you would have to do extra operations to create a PDF. I doubt that AA6 will work at all on a 64-bit system. If you had a 32-bit system or possibly with 32-bit compatibility if that can be done you might be able to run it. However, you would have to change the printer port to FILE and then open any file created in Distiller to finish the process.
So if there is a way to install a 32-bit process in a compatibility mode on the system, there is an outside chance. In the long run you should just buy AAXI (not upgrade from 6) if you have the funds for that.

Does anyone else experience jittery playback even with Mac Pro 2013?

I completed installing all my software on a new Mac Pro late 2013 and eagerly began working in Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 to see how much more improved my editing experience would be versus my old 2010 27" iMac. I was already experiencing jittery playback that would occur usually right after clicking the play button, but I'm sad to say that I'm still having that issue with the new computer.
My specs are:
3ghz 8-core xeon, 32 GB RAM, dual Firepro D-500 graphics and my projects are not stored on a Pegasus R6 thunderbolt RAID 5.
I really expected skimming and playing back smoother like a hot knife through butter, but I'm dissapointed. I don't know if this is just a FCPX issue that still needs fixing, or if it's something that everybody experiences.

Thank you Russ. Here's more info and also when I said my projects were "not" stored on the RAID, that was a typo. They ARE stored in the same Library as the event on the RAID.
Media originals: H.264 MOV files shot with Canon DSLR at 23.98 fps 1920x1080.
Transcoded files: Optimized and Proxy
Project settings: Manually set at 1920x1080, 23.98fps, Pro Res 422, 48kHz sound.
Project playback: Proxy mode
There are no multicam clips created. I've created a few compound clips, the majority of which are for the purpose of linking a video track to another audio track (syncing cleaner audio recording).
The Library contains the one project I'm working on (the wedding video) and the one Event that contains the media. The footage in the event is of a wedding day with about 1,100 clips total, all of which are identical in format and settings so there's no mixing of frame rates, etc. The Library is stored where I store all my other libraries from other jobs: On the external thunderbolt Pegasus RAID.
I don't have any other events in the Library. My workflow is to have a new Library created for each job and keep everything together in it.
The current project I'm working on was created on 10.1.
To be fair, I'd like to clarify that the jittery issue is not a constant and is not as bad as when I was working on my 2010 iMac using a single disc external firewire drive to store my libraries. On that machine, I accepted the playback issue considering my firewire wasn't fast enough. The jittery playback I experience now on the Mac Pro is very minimal (Like sometimes for about 2 seconds right as I click Play), but my concern is why do I have it at all considering my footage type isn't as demanding as say multicam clips or complex composites or 4K media, and that the Mac Pro combined with the RAID are so fast.
I may perhaps have unreasonable expectations from this machine. The reason I decided to invest in it was to have a glitch free editing experience and not have to worry about slowing myself down to let the computer catch up. The thing is, If this is normal, then my frugal mind would tell me why not return this expensive Mac Pro and save thousands with a maxed-out new iMac combined with my thunderbolt RAID?

Acrobat 9 Distribute Forms Problem

I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard in Windows 7 Professional.
I have created a form with all the necessary fields, but when I click on the Distribute Form button, nothing happens. I've tried several ways to launch this wizard, but can't seem to get the original screen with the distribute options (Acrobat.com, internal server, email) to appear.
No matter what I try, all I get is the purple bar showing Please fill out the following form. If you are a form author, choose Distribute Form in the Forms menu to send it to your recipients. Since I am the author, I don't understand why I keep going around in circles.
Any guidance will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kim.

I'm using the retail upgrade version, currently on 9.3.0. I had to upgrade from Acrobat 7 Pro when I got my new Win7 computer.
One thougth... the more I investigate this problem, I can't help but wonder if I somehow turned off the screen that is supposed to come up when I click the Distribute Forms button. I just ran through the 20-minute video at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-designers/acrobat-9-complete-forms-workfl ow and it reminded me of the wizard screen that is supposed to appear with the three options (use Acrobat.com, email, internal server). I haven't seen it, which makes wonder if I checked the "always use this option" button and now I can undo it. Every option that I've tried on the Forms menu immediately takes me to the form with the purple bar mentioned in my original post.
Thanks,
Kim.

"Invalid Serial Number" with "Acrobat 7.0 Standard"

I have a retail copy of "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard" with a valid serial number I am trying to install. I understand that the activation servers are down, so I had downloaded the installer executable from the Adobe website so I can install without communicating with the activation servers. (22001904.exe)
I am now repeatedly receiving a "Invalid Serial Number" message when trying to install. I have verified with Adobe customer service that my serial is valid and I have the correct installation executable. Aside from that the Adobe customer service have been support me any further, and suggested I turn to the community based forums.
Any work around for this or known fixes? Thanks!

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l provides the information needed about the license issue. To use AA7 with Win 7, 32 or 64-bit you will have to add a PS printer. The Adobe PDF printer from AA7 will not run on Win7 and AcroTray will fail also. To get around the problem you will have to install a PS printer, either from Adobe or one of the HP color PS printer drivers. After installing, go to the properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and change the port to FILE. You will always have an extra step in the PDF creation due to the failure of AcroTray. You will have to open the file created by the printer in Distiller to create a PDF.
You will also want to do the updates (ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/).

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended crashes when trying to distribute form

Hi.
I am experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit.
I have created a pdf file derived from an html and css file.
The pdf file comes out perfectly with form fields automatically detected, etc.
However, when I try to distribute the form, by clicking on
1. Forms > Distribute Form...
2. Manually collect responses in my email inbox..
3. Save a local copy and manually send it later.
Acrobat.exe crashes with faulting module acroform.api. when trying to create the response file.
Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 9.0.0.332, faulting module acroform.api, version 9.0.0.332, fault address 0x00025878.
Any ideas?
I can successfully distribute a different form created from InDesign.
Thank you.

Any ideas? there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13. Perhaps if I uninstall it? I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall? I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

Acrobat 9.0 Crash on importing distributed form responces

I am having problems with a particular distributed form that I am working with. I have several distributed forms with no problem when it comes to importing the forms into a responce file, save one. Whenever I open the responce file it will automatically try to import new responces and looks like it does one sucessfully but always crashes on a particular import. The last thing it says before the crash is:
"Importing data sent by Someone A. Someone, Psy.D>..."
The only thing that is odd about it is the person used a ">" insted of a "." However it would be silly if that was the problem because that might mean that data is not getting sanitized on import and is messing with the code.
I have attached a bug report that was generated.
A workable solution, if that responce form is the problem, would be if I could somehow remove the offending responce from the tracker but get the other responces.

just to better explain my problem.
1. i created the document in Word and used Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard to save it as a PDF and create form fields..
2. I then used acrobat.com to distributed and restricted the file to emailed recipients only.
3. The recipients received the file okay. however were prompted to create a login and password in order to access the document.
a. through my understanding they should have been able to open the file and fill it out using adobe reader or Acrobat.
b. also my understanding that acrobat.com would track the submissions - has only tracked one via Adobe Tracking Notification.
i use adobe products but an new to acrobat.com file sharing. I thought this would be a more convenient way to track and discuss the form with colleagues but am finding it to be just the opposite for them. Any insite would be helpful at this point. thank you! I hope this better illustrates my issues.

Can't Distribute Forms - Acrobat Standard 9.5.5

We have recently upgraded our last XP user to a new computer with Windows 7 Pro SP1.
She uses Acrobat to create forms for our customers to fill out.
Using Acrobat 9 to distribute forms on XP for a few years no problem. On Win 7, when we go to distribute on Acrobat, absolutely nothing happens.
I have tried a complete reinstall, removing all settings etc. Acrobat is up to date, and so is Windows.
I have recorded the problem with a completely new blank form. No signatures, certificates etc.

Try uninstalling using the Acrobat Cleaner tool and then reinstalling.

Distributing Forms in Acrobat Reader

Hello,
I have created a fillable PDF in Acrobat 8 Professional. The form needs to be distributed from Acrobat Reader, however my client's computer does not seem to have that function. Does anyone know if Acrobat Reader can distribute forms? If so, how would I go about enabling this function from Acrobat Professional?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Amy

Amy, I don't seem to understand your question, and I would say that graffiti didn't understand it either. What do you mean by distributing a form "from Acrobat Reader"? As I understand things, Reader and Acrobat are no normally used to "distribute" forms. Are you perhaps thinking of recipients filling and emailing back the form using Reader only?

Pushing the Distribute button or selecting it from the menu does nothing.
