Dynamic PDF won't decode in e-mail

I created a dynamic form in LiveCycle Designer from one of the templates. I added a "Submit by E-mail" button to the form, and entered my e-mail address so that people in my office could just send the form to me right away and not have to try to save it and then send it. I saved the form as a dynamic pdf. I went to test it for myself, filled out the form, and sent it via e-mail. The e-mail sent, and I got it in my inbox, but I couldn't open it. First it tried to open in an internet window and it was all coded. Then I tried to save it an open it in Adobe Reader, but I got a message saying it couldn't be opened because the file was damaged or not properly decoded through the e-mail. I've been searching all morning trying to find a fix for this. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

What is your operating system? E-mail client? Reader version?
What means "it was all coded"?

Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog

Hi Community,
I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

How to make dynamic PDF form flowable across 2 pages in LiveCycle?

I have a dynamic PDF form that is flowable on each page but not both. By that I mean that the fields on the 2nd page won't move to the 1st page if there is available space. How can I make the entire document flowable? I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Designer to create the form. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
you need just one page which is flowable and allows page breaks.

Dynamic .pdf forms

Hello everyone,
I am trying to find an application for my Curve 3300 that is able to render Adobe Dynamic XML Forms (it's a .pdf form, but it is created using LiveCycle Designer and has dynamic content that makes finding a renderer difficult.)
I've tried the free trial of beamberry, and it isn't able to render the form... I get a "you need a newer version of adobe reader" error.
Has anyone else out there had the same issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Can PDF To Go read dynamic .pdf forms?
I'd appreciate any help that any one can offer.
- Scott
P.S. does anyone know which version of Adobe Reader is functionally equivalent to the Blackberry .pdf reader apps? Is it possible to know that, or are they two different creatures altogether?
P.P.S. I figure that alot of people won't have any experience with dynamic .pdf forms... Here is a link to a sample dynamic .pdf form that I created for testing purposes. If you think that you have an app that can read it, please try opening the linked .pdf file on your blackberry. If anyone out there is able to view it, please let me know what software you are using. Thanks alot for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For anyone in the future who has a similar issue, I've come up with a fairly simple workaround. It adds an extra step of work, but it allows you to continue using dynamic forms in your workflow.
The ideal solution is if your office has a server-side adobe document output service. You can push your form to the server, have it extract the data into a datawarehouse, then output a flattened .pdf. A flattened .pdf cannot be (easily) edited, and all code behind is removed. This solution is the 'best', (and it's the only way to flatten an xfa form, as far as Adobe is concerned) but it also costs some coin, especially if you don't have any existing infrastructure to support the server-side service.
The free solution (which I have opted for) is to use a virtual printer to 'print' the document to a suitable format. There are many free virtual printers out there, but I have decided to go with CutePDF Writer. I print to the CutePDF writer, and the output is, essentially, a flattened Blackberry compatible .pdf form. The only issue is that you cannot edit a flattened document (a bonus in my situation, but still something to keep in mind... You can still edit the original document, as the flattened .pdf is a copy, not a transformation.)
You can even add a print button to the form with some JavaScript to specify the printer as 'CutePDF Writer'. Altogether, it's easier than recreating all of the business forms that have been made in a static format, and you can still leverage all the benefits of a dynamic form.
I know that this isn't central to the Blackberry, and I apologize for that, but I had a rough time with this issue, and I'm hoping to help someone with the same issue in the future. Again, thanks to those who helped.

Dynamic text won't display

I don't know if this is a bug. I have a movie that contains a
dynamic text. When I run it, the text displays fine. But when the
said movie is run through another movie clip (using loadMovie), the
dynamic text won't display. Any ideas why? Thank you.

Than again, it's a bug on your end :)
Dynamic text is a text container, it's to be use with
dynamically given data, from
source file or variable string on timeline. It's not meant to
be for regular text
display. You need to use Static text. The fact that you can
see it it's just flash
being tolerant but it only lasts for as long as the movie is
getting more complex.
You can get away with somethings even tho you should not be
using them, does not
mean they will work all the way. Dynamic text, as said above
is for text that comes
to flash from outside source and this is when it works best.

Dynamic PDF Creator Replacement Widget

Hi,
I'm trying figure out I can get a widget similar to Dynamic PDF Export that was sold by CaptivateDev.com - eLearning Development with Adobe Captivate
Now that they closed there door...I'm stuck it's the exact widget I needed.
My goal is to capture user input and compile a completed 'Take away Workbook" from the questions that were answered.
Any other way to accomplish this?
-Rob

I'm pretty good with Captivate and advanced actions; but once java is involved I do get a little lost.
Can you give me a little bit of direction on how to make the connection between the external library, captivate and the javascript pdf thing.
I have an email out a web designer with our company but he won't know Captivate so I'll need to give them a little bit of support.
Thanks
Rob

Encoding Needed for polish content in dynamic pdf

I am creating dynamic pdf using pdfwriter and java in cq5. I am not able to get polish language content in pdf.
What encoding should i use? Here my code:
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(
writer,
document,
new ByteArrayInputStream(htmlBufferForPDF.toString().getBytes("ISO-8859-2")));
But it doesn't work out. I used "UTF-8" and "ISO-8859-1". Nothing is working out.
Please post suggestions.

This is the forum for Adobe Acrobat. I recommend you find a support forum or mailing list for iTextPDF.
Never assume that software which is able to show latin 1 characters will be able to show any other character set. The software must be much more powerful to do that.

Dynamic PDF - export into Word Doc

Well... signed up to IX-PRO for a year.,
1. Now I cannot open in PRO the Dynamic PDF...?
in READER it opens well
2. Conform website suggestion I signed up & installed LC Designer
(advised to upgrade for Exporting my dynamic pdf test doc. to Word)
3. I also installed as well as accessed through FORM central
End result: "FormsCentral does not support importing dynamic PDF forms created by LiveCycle Designer".
+ PRO does still not open my dynamic PDF - so only my READER opens the doc / the content.- (as did the free version...)
Question
a. How to open a dynamic PDF in PRO (so a PDF doc. that is used as template and includes Macro's )
b. How to convert / export such dynamic PDF's - into WORD ?
Thnx in advance

Hi George
Thnx for your prompt input.
FYI:
As we edit / review project doc's with multiple (ca. 4 to 10) authors - I want to learn how to export:
fixed text, text box content, and graphics - from received dynamic pdf forms> into MS Word, o boost elaborations efficiency
I took a Adobe Pro version - imagining that finally I could avoid the cutting and pasting..., a practice already possible with the free Reader version. :-)
FEEDBACK
I tried your suggestion to save the doc as a regular PDF, however once again the same outcome:
the DOC content is not reproduced = one page with the text as in image above..
Opening the doc. in LC explains most likely:
1. Aobe LiveCycle Designer - Pop's up: [Cannot find "....\ Schema\schema.xsd*. Check that the path is correct ] {??"why""??}
OK
2. Aobe LiveCycle Designer - Pop's up: [Some usage rights have been applied to the form you want to open
Opening the form will remove the usage rights.. Do you want to continue]
YES
3. >> Doc Opens - Design View - but same outcome the DOC content is not reproduced
= one page with the text as in image above....
--- >
= We would be happy if somebody (preferably staff from Adobe) could check the doc.
I will create (asap..) a test doc. and e-mail them the link.
Any suggestion where to address to ?
Best regards
Johannes

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

I can't get my Dynamic PDF Widget to work in Captivate 7

Hello all,
I've been trying to get my Dynamic PDF to work in my Captivate 7 project. I have created a button on the final slide where I want the user to open the PDF, I have named it correctly to correspond with the Dynamic PDF. I have also updated everything within the editor to appear how I would like it to appear. I have also tried viewing it in various formats such as Published, In a Browser etc. and nothing appears to work for me.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Please make sure that the pdf is also saved in the same published folder .
Also test the behavior in other browsers as well like Chrome and Firefox .
If you still face this issue then try to add the published output in trusted location of Flash.

Save dynamic PDF as flattened or read only

I finished filling a form, which is a dynamic PDF. Now that I'm done filling it out, I want to save it as a regular PDF, where the fields cannot be edited, and anyone can open it without needing a special version of adobe (basically just a regular PDF viewer), since it's easier to email, and anyone can open it without a problem. Can this be done?
I have a MacBook Pro, with Yosemite OS.
Thanks guys

Do you understand what "flattening" a PDF does?
It converts fields and annotations content into the context of the PDF and removes the form fields and annotations and they cannot be recovered to their original objects.
I would look at making the fields read only and using a digital signature to disclose if the PDF has been changed after the signature has been applied.

"Mail" won't show my Yahoo mails...

Hello,
I'm using three boxes, all Yahoo. Had a minor problem with one of them and the Yahoo people told me they had switched the account to another server to solve the problem (which was actually solved).
But since then, "Mail" won't show the incoming mail. The activity indicator shows "x" mails having been collected but they don't show either on he screen or next to the account name...
One exception: as I tried to cancel then re-create the faulty account, it does collect messages the first time it opens...but then afterwards nothing shows although mails are showed to have been collected.
The other two boxes I use with Yahoo are collected without any problem.
Yahoo can't or won't help...
Anybody with an idea ??? Could the problem be linked with changing the server ? But then how is it hat mails are shown to have been collected by he activity counter even if they don't appear on he screen or next to he account name ?
Many thanks and greetings from southern France.

no one knew why i couldn't get my messages from the pop server at att/yahoo into my mail on my mac. there were no answered questions to the support topic why can i see mail activity....messages on the server, but not coming into the mail box? sending is fine, but for some reason, it suddenly stopped 3 days ago and for 3 days i searched for a fix. the only way i found this was a mail access error on the web mail thru att.yahoo where my messages showed up (they were also showing up on the i phone, not the mac)...had to verify the email....and while waiting, i found the att yahoo help page that cleared the whole problem
not removing files and putting them back in while opening and shutting mac....all the ports and ssls were checked and correct
apparently you have to clean your cache
totally all att's fault
Web Mail - How do I clear my browser's cache?
It's true, a clogged cache can slow down and even stop your browser. Who wants that? Not us. Let's get to work clearing your cache. Which browser are you using? Instructions are included below for each of these:
Firefox 2.x for Windows or Mac
1. For Windows or Mac, click Tools and select Clear Private Data.
2. In the window that opens, select whichever items you'd like to clear. When you're done, click Clear Private Data Now.
Safari 3 for Mac
1. In the Safari menu, click Empty Cache. That's it!
2. To also clear the History, click the History menu and click Clear History (at the bottom).

PDF won't save to computer

I download several financial statements in PDF each month and two of them, though enabled, will not allow themselves to be saved to my computer. They can be viewed, printed and edited but clicking on the save icon does nothing. The'Save to:' pop-up does not appear. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have the most current version of reader (9.4.1). Has anyone seen this before???

Hi,
Yes indeed, we have the same issue. After further research, I ran across this workaround that worked for me. Of course it does not solve the Adobe problem, but it does allow for saving a PDF that does not want to be saved while opened in IE (I’m using 8). Here is a copy of the workaround.
Of course the question remains – what is the problem and why do we have to use this workaround – very strange. Must be a compatibility issue with certain website, win 7, IE 8 and Adobe. The problem site for me was Chase.com. I called their online rep and they had know ideas. Hope the workaround works for you.
Here is the link where I found the workaround.

Hey Reepercheep,
Just a note... I have been experiencing this problem with one of my accounts since back in Reader version 8.x. The second account only started paperless before Christmas. I was willing to put up with it from one group but two with the same problem broke the camel's back (it started to become a trend!). Hopefully someone has found the magic bullit to solve this. Cheers

Reader XI "save" button creates "save as"-dialog in a dynamic PDF

I made a dynamic PDF with LCD ES4. Sometimes it occurs that a "save as"-dialog appears though I pushed the "save"-button. I am using Reader XI 11.0.07 on a Windows 7 Pro system. Suggestions?

This don't seems to be a problem of the form.
It's more likely that Readers save operation fails because the file is used by another process (Exploerers preview pane for example) or there are no rights to save into the current directory.
