Does only Adobre Reader "reads" the fields of a PDF when created with Acrobat?

I created a PDF with several fields and exported it.
Then I tried to open it with Firefox and the fields didn't appear.
But it works OK with Adobe Acrobat.
Does only Adobre Reader "reads" the fields of a PDF when created with Acrobat?

Adobe software reads form fields. The rules for how to do form fields are a part of the PDF standard (a book available to anyone) but some companies ignore it and others do half a job. To be safe, use only Adobe Reader. And beware of browsers that ignore Adobe Reader even if you have it.

  • Whats the default DPI of PDF when created from OBIEE

    As per topic, when we download to PDF from Answers or dashboards, does anybody know the DPI that is used ? You'd normally specify it on creation of the pdf.
    Cheers

    Well its BI Publisher related but I want going to say that :-)
    Im having trouble with a background image in a BIP report, its not rendering on the PDF the same as in MS Word when Im building the RTF template. In order to get the required pixel size I would need the DPI used when createing an A4 size PDF so I can work out exactly the dimensions I need for my jpg.
    Hope that makes sense, and yes its the wrong forum technically but Im hopiing the whole PDF generation might be shared across OBIEE / BIP

  • Send as email attachment the billing document as pdf when created and saved

    HI All,
    I have already searched the forum but could not find  a satisfying answer so i am posting this question,
    The requirement is to send an email containing biiling document converted to pdf format when a billing document
    is created and saved in VF01 transaction.
    I have already converted the output to pdf format in my driver program and also know how to send an email containing the same ..but this works only when user prints using VF31 .
    Kindly tell the configuration steps which are required...and hot to achieve the same.
    Regards,

    Hi Prateek,
    There is a blog on a similar topic which explains how to email purchase order in SAP to the vendor. The settings are required in Vendor Master, NACE and SCOT.
    Following is the link to it.
    http://architectsap.com/blog/sap/sap-mm-purchasing-send-purchase-order-by-mail-to-vendor-in-sap/
    It has given steps to trigger the output.
    Its not exactly what you require, but might be helpful.

  • Just bought new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I have my hand on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. What gives?

    Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?

    From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click.  Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

  • How to read the field type from field id of DynamicFldTbl

    Hi,
    In my application, i am using DynamicFldTbl, whch parses FML32 field table definition file. My field table definition file contains information about field names and its types.
    I checked the API of DynamicFldTbl and didn't find any API to get the field type from field it.
    Any way to read the field type from field id?
    Thanks in advance
    Raguraman

    Hi Raguraman,
    Once you have the field table, you can then create an FML32 buffer (TypedFML32) using the constructor that takes a field table, and then use the Fldtype() method on the specific field ID you wish to get the type of. I know this is sort of tedious and we should provide Fldtype() and some others on the field table class directly.

  • Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

    hi
    Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
    I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
    I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
    According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
    But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
    So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
    Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
    However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
    This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
    To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
    But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
    Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
    thanks,
    Asatamax

    The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
    (1) Open Adobe Reader
    (2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
    (3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
    (response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
    I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

  • The version of iOS on does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK

    Getting this error message as of this morning: The version of iOS on “iPad” does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK. I've downloaded the latest SDK and gone through the usual turn off and turn on again for iPad and computer, removed and reinstalled the iPad from Organizer and have no idea how to make apps build now. I was prompted to update the iphone too but there's no way I'm updating it if this issue can't be resolved.

    Okay these are the steps I took to solve the problem - they may not be the right ones for you but they've solved the problem and saved time hunting for some other solution. Firstly I changed my MAC system to Lion with the £20 download, then I deleted the old Xcode and installed the new version that is app based and doesn't support Snow Leopard, then all was well. I can now update my xcode via the app which is quicker and more logical and can update my iPhone rather than chug along avoiding updates as I need to update my existing apps on the app store and upload a new one.

  • Form is filled on iPad then emailed.  If form is opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible.

    Form filled on ipad.  When opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible- form is blank.   Have been using this system for months with  no problems.

    That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
    so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
    And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
    very, very disappointing and frustrating.

  • My mac mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone

    My Mac Mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone. I had switched the start-up disk back to the original of course. Now all I see is the Apple logo. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

    Try disconnecting any external devices, especially hard drives
    and try rebooting.
    If that doesn't help, then :
    If you are running Lion, boot to the Recovery HD and run a
    Repair Disk on the OSX partition.
    If Snow Leopard, boot to the installl DVD and run Repair Disk.
