Distributed Forms Cannot be Opened (error) - Acrobat X / Reader XI

Our document control department uses Acrobat X while all other users in the organization use Adobe Reader (XI for the most part). It has been an absolute headache trying to simply distribute a form to Reader users and enable them to return it via the Submit button.
I create a new document.
I save a copy of that document as a "Reader Extended PDF" (with additional features)
I then distribute that form (I have tried it several ways: Dragging into Outlook as an attachment, Autosending via Acroboat, or having users access the file on a shared network folder)
Everytime the Reader user opens the file this message appears:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document"
But the original has not changed!!! I do not understand. It seems something as simple as this would be easy to configure in Adobe products, but it's been nothing but a bust. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
And I should note...this process works fine when any Acrobat X machine accesses the distributed file.

There have been changes to PDF to allow better compression since the days of Acrobat 5, and they are now being used where appropriate.
Perhaps you can use the PDF Optimizer (via Save as...optimized PDF) to change the PDF level back down to what you need. The file could well get much bigger.

Hi Marlene,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

That means you have a case-sensitive startup volume.
You should be able to use either "Carbon Copy Cloner" or "SuperDuper" (free for this purpose) to copy your case-sensitive volume to an empty case-insensitive one. Make at least two such copies on different drives. One is not enough to be safe.
Note: If there are any name conflicts — that is, files in the same folder with names that differ only in case, such as "File" and "file" — then you will either get an error or one of the files won't be copied. You must ensure either that no such conflicts exist, or that the consequences are not important. How you do that is up to you. Unless you went out of your way to create such conflicts, they probably don't exist.
Then erase the source volume in Disk Utility as case-insensitive. This action will wipe all data from the volume.
Restore from one of your backups using the same application you used to create it, or use the "Restore" feature of Disk Utility, which will be faster. Search its built-in help for the term "duplicate" if you need instructions.

InfoPath form cannot be opened on Windows 8.1, Office 2013 32-bit

We develop an InfoPath form using InfoPath 2013 on Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2013 64-bit. The most common user environment is Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2010 32-bit, and the form runs just fine there.
Some of our users are upgrading to Windows 8.1 and cannot run the form. They are using Office 2013 32-bit as that is our corporate standard. The form opens correctly using Office 64-bit.
We cannot even open the form in InfoPath Designer when running Office 2013 32-bit, getting the message:
Not enough storage is available to process this command
If we make a small form, it can be opened, but our full production form fails.
Is there a resource we are short on? Has our form gotten too big to be run on Office 32-bit? We have spent a good deal of time trying to find an answer, but have had no luck.
Paul

We understand there’s an error “Not enough storage
is available to process this command” when you try to open a list in InfoPath 2013. After some research, I found some users ran into similar issues, and
finally resolved them by clearing the temporary file folders, changing the disk usage space, or increasing the value of a registry entry. Here I offer these threads, and if it’s convenient, you can take a look at them and check if they could offer something

Form won't open - error message

One of my forms won't open saying its either a momentary problem with Acrobat or a connetion error on my end. I am able to open other forms and I am connected to the internet. I have people who need to use this form asap in another location and they aren't able to open the link either. Can anyone provide a clue to the issue?
Thanks.

It's been down since at least 6:30am Pacific, which means Adobe has now wasted an entire workday for many of us that rely on their system. So, since you don't even have "a good handle on the situation" on this, I guess I can just scratch this day and go home early. Guess that planned Monday launch of the 3 last forms for an event I'm running in June gets a nice April "Rain Delay." Worst part about this too is it's not just today that's a loss, I can't even process any form data submitted over the weekend, so I'm effectively 3 days behind now. Luckily, my event is still 6 weeks away (though the dealines for submitting registrations and such are a month or less)... I feel really bad for people that are on end of April or May 1st deadlines - good luck to you guys.
Really Adobe, if you want us to work on line / in the cloud and rely on you to keep our customer's data and be able to access it when WE need it, this is a huge failure on your part. This isn't some 15 or 30 minute hiccup, this is effectively a full wasted day for everyone on the East/Central time zones. A group is running a sister event to mine next year, and has requested info on how we have done what we have - unfortunately for Adobe, I can NOT in good faith recommend they use this unreliable service. This is not the first time forms (or CC) has failed me in the last 6 months, but it HAS been the worst occurance in the last 6 months. "Happy" to hear that you understand how inconvenient this is, but that and a dollar get's me a cup of coffee. I need my customers to be able to submit their data to get MY money and run my event, and I expect many are in the same situation - what's your solution to that loss?

File Cannot be opened error in Numbers

I tried to open a file I had stored in the cloud in numbers. I got a message that the two versions did not sync. When I selected one, I got an error stating that the file cannot be opened. Same problem on my iPad

Ok...after I downloaded media player 11, I went into it and clicked on pictures and they were still viewing fine, but I forgot to click into the videos (which is the original problem). Well, I just got back to my laptop and clicked into videos to view them and I'm getting the same error that I was getting before. It says that windows does not recognize this file type.

Click on Display button
then Execute it or Press F8 (short cut for direct processing)
Enter Document Type
         Document Number

         Document Version
and execute it
It shows you all the detail what you want
PHIO-ID is the ID of your Document Type which is stored in Content Server with your Repository Name

Protected form cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader for IPhone

Hi,
I've created a pdf form in Acrobat XI and password protected it for editing. I can fill in the form and save it in adobe reader, but it cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader in an IPhone. Are there any security settings I can use to protect the form from being edited and still allow it to be completed in an IPhone?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Satyadev,
Thanks to Adobe and you for looking into this issue and responding. While
your team works on expanding functionality for protection, please let them
know that expanding the javascript api in Mobile Reader would be wonderful
as well. I made a search box that looks up towns in a list of over 900
towns to make it so users didn't have to scroll through such a large list.
This function works in Adobe Reader but not Mobile Reader because the
javascript api in Mobile Reader is very limited.
Thanks again,
Bob

Distribute Form: Cannot Connect To Server

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to distribute a form through Acrobat.com however when I go to distribute and enter my account credentials it gives me an error saying "Cannot Connect to Server." Is the free service down or do I need to guarentee certain ports are open?

I am still having this issue and it has been several days so I don't think there is an outage at adobe, what else can I check? Are there ports that need to be checked in order for it to connect to the server when I try to distribute a form?

Form won't open in Acrobat X Pro, XI Pro or Reader XI

I am creating a lengthy for which is now 25 pages. I can work on the form in LiveCycle Designer ES3. However, we cannot open the form in Acrobat X Pro, XI Pro or Reader XI. Any thoughts on why this could be happening? Are there things I can look for in LiveCycle to fix this issue?
Thanks,
MDawn

Thanks for your quick response. There is no error message displayed. The round circle spins and the pdf never opens. It also happens in the Preview PDF tab within LiveCycle. I resaved the form and deleted a number of pages and the smaller version works fine. Can an interactive form be too large? Could that be my problem?
I was working on page 20 of 25 pages and I had to End the Program to get out of trying to Preview the form. I'm wondering if something was corrupted.
Thanks,

OCR of a scanned file in Acrobat XI pro produces a new pdf, which cannot be opened in Acrobat 5.0

I want to make automatik linking and bookmarks in the pdf with the tool Compose, which I only have in Acrobat 5, not in the XI pro
First step of OCR I had to do in XI pro
I could not open the new file With the old versio 5.0. In XI pro it opens without showing any error.

There have been changes to PDF to allow better compression since the days of Acrobat 5, and they are now being used where appropriate.
Perhaps you can use the PDF Optimizer (via Save as...optimized PDF) to change the PDF level back down to what you need. The file could well get much bigger.

The custom form cannot be opened. outlook will use an outlook form instead

Hi,
I was referred to this forum by the Outlook team who thought you may be able to help.
I am getting the above error periodically on my Outlook 2010 at work.
I have a few email accounts defined on this and there appears to be no particular event that triggers the error message which regularly occurs every 10 to 15 minutes.
I have looked at other posts for this which suggest clearing the cache and emptying the FORMS folder which I have done but the problem just keeps reoccuring as usual.
The same file keeps appearing in the Forms folder called OUTLOOK.GL1 where GL1 is the name I gave to the email account that is on an MS Exchange server.
The file contains only 4 text charachters.
Now I havent added any customs forms at all, and certainly not in the last few days since this error has been appearing.
I have no idea where to look for any form definitions or where any forms might be required.
Can anyone offer some suggestions as to how I can go about solving this as clicking ok to this error message 6 times every 10 minutes is driving me nuts.
Thanks, George.

Hi George,
The lastest is with this link: http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=64
There are a few options to try when clearing the cache doesn't work.

My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
enjoy free web..... :)

PDF form submission problem - works in Acrobat and Reader, but not when embedded in browser

Hello everyone,
I am trying to submit a PDF form to an application server.
To do this, I added a "Submit" button to the PDF, configured the server's address and submit format, and tested the button.
I opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro, clicked the button, and my web application received the form in PDF format just as I wanted.
To make it work in Reader, I had to extend user rights via Acrobat Pro, and then the form worked inside Reader as well.
Up to here, everything went fine.
Then I embedded the PDF in a web page (which will be the final scenario) and it all stopped working.
The submit button doesn't do anything anymore, and no data is sent to the application server.
I even tried switching from the form's submit mechanism to calling event.target.submitForm(...) in Javascript directly, but nothing changed (meaning this too worked only when opening the form as an "offline" pdf, but not when embedding it in a web page).
Is there something I am missing? Something else that must be configured/activated in order to be able to submit the PDF when it is in the form of an embedded object?
Many thanks in advance,
Alex

Thanks for your reply, Paul.
I tested the submit button both in Reader 9.3 and Acrobat 8 (which is the same I used to RE the PDF).
Apparently I got it working too, but only by deploying my embedding web page to an application server.
The final environment the PDF will be embedded into will be inside a web application deployed to an application server, so I guess my problem is solved.
It didn't work only when embedded into a local test.html web page saved on my PC...
Thanks again, have a good day.
Alex

PDF files which stored in document library cannot be opened directly via Adobe Reader

When I open PDF files(Clicking on the "..." ellipsis actions menu and then selecting "Open") that are stored in the library of SharePoint2013 , it caused "An error occurred on the server ". However, in the Search
Center , I can open the same file from the search results. In search result, the action menu is not "Open", but "Edit ".
< Environment configuration >
I has developed a single server of OfficeWeb application server farm using HTTP.
I am creating a OfficeWebAppsServer farm with the following command :
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm-InternalURL "URL"-AllowHttp-EditingEnabled
Client PC: Adoce Reader version 9.3.4 (update to the latest version 11 is failed too.)
PS: I use SharePoint server 2013 standard version.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that when open pdf files in library, you got the following error ”
An error occurred on the server”.
Did you install the following hotfix package on your SharePoint 2013 servers:
Description of the SharePoint Server 2013 hotfix package (Sts-x-none.msp): October 8, 2013.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2825665
You can install the above hotfix, then check whether it works.
There are some articles for your reference.
