Earliest Adobe Reader Version with Editable Text Field Functionality

Hi all,
Can someone inform me of the earliest version of Adobe Reader with which you can edit a document with editable text fields? I've designed a form using LiveCycle and, prior to distributing it to customers, would like to determine the minimum spec for Reader.
Thanks, JB

Editable fields came in with 3.0, but if you use LiveCycle Designer,
which is new technology, it's 7.0 or so.

Adobe reader XI-cannot edit text, spacing,layout.....

adobe reader XI--cannot edit document scanned in from cannon pixma nor from email

Correct. Reader can't edit PDF files. It can't even create PDf files, so you must have used the software that came with your scanner to do that.
You should scan your documents to another format, like PNG or TIFF, edit them in a photo editor, like Photoshop, and then convert them to PDF using an application like Acrobat.

Adobe Reader Versions Compatible with Window 7 & I.E. 8.0

We have a few users that experience blank pages or a pop-up with no text and only an OK button when trying to open an Adobe (web) Form with Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.4.2 or 9.4.0 on Window 7 and I.E. 8. Adobe Reader X is not an option since it is not supported within our firm. Does anyone have a list of the compatible Adobe Reader Versions for Windows 7 and I.E. 8. I'm sure this is highly unlikely, but does Adobe have a matrix that indicates the compatible version according to O.S. and Browser?

What is your operating system and email client? If you use web-based email, in what browser?
What exactly does "not work" mean? I have no problems using Save As with email attachments and Reader 11.0.6.

Can I hide the Adobe Reader panel with "Export, Create and Edit PDF and Send and Store Files"? I don't use it and it takes up space

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

Making some words Bold/Underlined of an editable text field in Adobe Form?

I have a a requirement of making some words Bold/Underlined of an editable text field in Adobe Form. I have created a "Text Field" and in "Value" tab as default value I have written the textline and made the field Type as "User entered - optional" so that at runtime user can edit that text. Now they want some words of the whole text line should display as Bold and some as Underlined. Can you please help me to meet this requirement.

Just an idea, but you might try re-printing that original PDF file to the Adobe PDF printer (saving it as another pdf file, essentially). Then try again to add form fields. (You can copy the form fields you've already created and paste them onto the new file -- just copy and paste while in forms edit mode). A second shot in the dark if the first doesn't work might be to try again, but change the print settings when printing to PDF. I've ready some reports that the dpi setting can have an effect. Maybe go from 600 to 150 and see if that works. Let me know which, if either, of these ideas works.

Hi,
2 things:
1. Assuming your script is original - it is not asking for a TXT file till it is found in expected location. You can choose between 2 solutions:
to remove FindChangeList.txt from FindChangeSupport folder ==> script will ask for another file
to override this file by your query ==> script will not ask but execute your query
2. You can see greyed TXT files in Script Panel since this panel shows executable files (script's formats)

Here, I finally have a solution.
Gotta love Google.
More helpful than Adobe so far.
Note: Clicking on the link below will immediately open the download dialogue box.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/en_US/AdbeRdr1011_en_US.exe
I used this download to install, and the Installer was flawless.
Thanks everyone who contributed ideas and potential solutions.

The response above is only a speculative answer to the original question. DSI-Hal, did you try to flatten the text in Bluebeam Revu prior to opening it in Adobe. This has worked for me on several different documents but not sure if we are using the same version of Adobe Reader.
Give it a shot. Good luck.

Adobe Reader Version 9.1.1 - Unable to close Adobe Reader.

Using Firefox Version 3.0.10, under Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit, patched as of today.
I open a pdf file, Adobe Reader opens a new window, I can read/print pdf file.
I select "Close" (Red X in upper right hand corner.) nothing happens.
I select "File", select "Exit".
An Adobe Reader message window pops up with "This action cannot be performed from within an external window.".
I select "OK" message window goes away, but Adobe Reader is still there.
I then closed Firefox.
Try to close Adobe Reader again with the same results.
Reboot the system.
Open Firefox, select another web site, open a pdf, read/print pdf file.
Try to close Adobe Reader, same results.
This started after Adobe Reader was updated to version 9.1.1.
Any ideas?

It looks like ZoneAlarm Security Suites product Force Field with Virtualization Enabled may have something to do with strange behaviour.
When I just open pdf files that are on the local machine, I don't have a problem, just on remote systems.
I already know ZoneAlarm Support will blame this on Adobe Readers most recent update, since it worked with the previous version of Adobe Reader.
Any ideas?

Editable Text Fields Showing Up As Blank

Hey guys wondering if you can help me out as I've searched for a solution and can't find one. I created a PDF using LiveCycle where it has editable text fields that one can fill out. The PDF does work but the issue is that sometimes when recieving the document back the PDF looks like it's blank and hasn't been filled out even though it has been. In the attached example if you click on the line next to Occupation, etc. you'll see that there is actually info there you just have to click on the line to see it. This is being filled out by people using Macs and Windows. Does anybody have an idea as to why this would happen. What's even more odd is that it only happens sometimes while other times the PDF works just fine. Any help or info would be appreciated, thanks.

Was the form created with LiveCycle Designer or Adobe Acrobat?

Form Size with one text field 442kb

I started work on a new version of a three page dynamic form because the old version was 1,537kb.
After setting up my new blank master pages (3), I placed a text field on the blank "cover page". The from size went from 12kb to 442kb with one text field. How can one small text field with no caption increase the file size so tremondously. That's a factor of 36! Any suggestions? I am using:
Microsoft Windows 7
Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.6
Livecycle Designer ES2 Version 9.0
FYI: I have read that there exists some tools out there to inspect your pdf/xml and see what objects are increasing your file size. This would be very helpful, however I work for a company that gives very little freedom in downloading unapproved software. So unless there is an Adobe way to inspect for an object and its impact on size, I am in a tough situation. Thank you for your time.

Remove the embed fonts feature to reduce your file size:
File > Form Properties > Save Options
Old version file size went from 1,537kb down to 132kb

Adobe Reader error with SAP interactive form in Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button. The form is inserted into Web Dynpro ABAP page. This web dynpro application is executed in SAP GUI by this program:
REPORT TEST1 MESSAGE-ID SWDP_RUNTIME.

Adobe Reader version is 9.1.2
Is there any solution for this?
Many thanks for answer.

Jiri,
The reason why I thought downgrading would help is because Reader 9 and above is probably not fully supported by SAP yet.
You can maybe open an OSS and see if Adobe 9 is fully supported or not.

I'm having a similar problem when following hyperlinks from PDFs. Adobe Reader 11.0.07 hangs and ties up half the CPU. Again, Windows 7 Professional SP 1, Pentium dual core E6700 4 GB. Have tried running the cleaner tool and reloading, no change. The leap in CPU below is the point at which the hyperlink was selected.

Adobe Reader version 7.1.0 will not install

Hi all,
I am bringing up a new Discovery server and working through the SAP Discovery System Quick Guide. My question is that Adobe Reader version 7.0.9 is no longer available and version 7.1.0 will not launch.
Has anyone seen an issue with this? When I run the Adobe Reader installer, it fails with no error. There are no messages in the event log either.
Looking through troubleshooting guides, it appears that version 7.x is mandatory and there are errors if only 8.x is installed.
I've searched the forums with no luck. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Please consider opening a CSN ticket on component CA-SOA-DS and the appropriate SAP support personnel will assist you in this issue.
Regards,
Hwee Lin
