Exit Button script won't work in Adobe Reader 8

Hello,
I have this code on Exit button for pdf form:
app.execMenuItem("Close");
Or
to give warning before Exit: Have a second RealExit Button hidden to execute the code
var answer = xfa.host.messageBox("Are you sure you want to Exit?","Warning Message",2,1);
if(answer==1){
RealExit.execEvent('click');
I tried both the code one at a time but no luck in Adobe Acrobat Version 8, works like a charm in Adobe Acrobat 9
I would like the user to click the Exit button if they choose to exit. However it doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat 8 but works in 9 version. Is there a work around? Any suggestions???
Thanks

This answer may not be a big help but sure will give you some level of understanding....
Check the URL>>>http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402673.html
Check the section "PDF Forms-related issues:" starting mid page.....
Not all releases/versions are good. Some releases tend to have some bugs...the version you tested could be one of them. Adobe always recommends to be on the latest version. If client still on older version that is client's problem especially there should not be any restrictions on upgrading to Latest version when the software is free!

My Drop down list won't work in Adobe Reader 9

I have a form that I created in Adobe Designer 7 but have opened and saved in Adobe Designer 9 (also redid the connection string, because it didn't like 7's). Now I can open and use the form normally in Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and 9 and in the PDF previews of both Designers. But Adobe Reader 9 won't let the drop down list function the way it is supposed to. Also my form has fields that are binded to a SQL Server 2K5 database.
Now if Adobe Reader does not allow database connections or fields binded to them, is there a way to get similar functionality in any way?

Reader Extended? Is that when you open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, go to Advanced, and click "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"? I did that and it still didn't work. Matter of fact it locked up the PDF when I tried to open it in Acrobat Pro 7 or 9.
Or is that Adobe Reader Extension ES package?

Submit by Email won't work with Adobe Reader 6

I have created a form that must be submitted back to our corporate offices, the problem is the people it is being sent to may be running Adobe Reader 6. When I try to use the submit by email button in version 6 nothing happens. The form works fine in the newer Adobe. Any help saving this to work for the older version would be great. Thanks!

You have enable Reader Rights with Acrobat 8 Professional (prior versions will not work), pay a 3rd party or buy Adobe's server product.

Outlook Email script won't work with Reader 9.1

The attached form was designed in ES 8.2 and has worked fine with Reader 8.0. The "properties defaults" tab is set for Reader 9.0 or better. However, upon recent upgrade to Reader 9.1, the Outlook Email script stopped working. I'm new to Livecycle and scripts and was hoping that someone had an easy fix?

okay thanks. One more question. What script is used to activate the "read receipt requested" function in Outlook?

Subject: Outlook Email script won't work with Reader 9.1
Interesting .....it sounds like an issue in Reader. From a code perspective everything is good .....the code tells Reader's email service to communicate with the mail client. This could be where the issue is.
You may want to post your question on the Acrobat forum and see if they know of anything .....or you can report the issue to Support and have them look into it. Maybe something was introduced into the 9.1 version.
From a Designer perspective all is good.

Thumbnail preview works in adobe reader 9 but does not work in adobe 8.0

I have small issue. Thumbnail works in adobe reader 9 but but does not work in adobe acrobat 8.0 in win xp

Anyone going to tell me how to do this uninstalling and installing??????????
I don't want to mess things up even more! Geez--I'm almost 60 years old,
need to work and this might be costing me a job. I'm not 20 and text and
e-mail etc every day. I'm just asking for a little help that as I see it ,
is due to a "glitch" with Adobe's software. They can easily in their
technological minds put a warning on anything before someone downloads
anything such as "If you download this and you have already downloaded
that,, then it won't work." How tough would that be??? They, like most other
major corporations, are in it for the money. What has happened to customer
service???
I need a step by step with my hand held and so it won't screw up things even
MORE. Adobe...get your customer service and your software together...This is
draining. I may lose a job over it. I need to have my computer running well
at this point in time as there is no extra time to spend dealing with
software issue that are a result of Adobe's software incompatibility.
I was on the phone for TWO hours last night telling people exactly what was
going on. I even read the error message word for word. No one would help me
unless I coughed up the money that I don't have...and in addition I will
lose a job that might get me some money. This is why I am so upset. Why is
dealing with Adobe always so difficult??? Of course, I am upset. I'm
actually a lovely person. It is just that this stuff rattles my nerves.
Especially when there is a jobwith a raiseinvolved that I may lose as a
result.
Now I had better get dressed and ready for the job I have now before I am
late for work and lose that job, too.....

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

Adobe Form Calling WebService Doesnu00B4t work with Adobe Reader 7

Hi experts,
We have created and adobe form that simulates a PM Notification in which the user, without logging into SAP, through an RFC and WebServices can create the notification into SAP.
This process only works with Adobe Reader 9 and not with Adobe Reader 7.
Can anyone tell me what main difference/component/functionality does Adobe Reader 9 have that Adobe Reader 7 doesn´t?
When I call the Webservice through the form in Adobe 7, a pop-up message appears that says:
"Error attempting to read from file.
http://desaecc6.codelco.cl:8001/sap/bc/rfc/sap/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/222/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12"
Any ideas why this error ocurrs only in Adobe Reader 7?
Thanks and best regards,
Fernando Montenegro

Hello,
I cannot tell what are the exact differencies between the version. But I can tell you should always use (at least try to use the newest Reader). I guess you´re not the only developer on Forms, so there are possibly more people depending on the version of the client browser/ Reader. There is a solution for this problem, which does not ask anything from you, only the user.
You can easily test the Reader version through JS coding and act based on the result. I use this like this "if your Reader is lower than 8.1" then "message popup = We are sorry, your Reader is too old, this form won´t work for you. Please upgrade first.". It takes like 5 minutes (10 for lame users at max) to update his Reader.
Maybe you should this about such a test, if the user passes the test, his application won´t have any problem, if not there is no guarantee. And YOU have no problem, nobody tells you "hey sir, your form is not working, I´m not gonna pay you".

Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard Work With Adobe Reader 8.2.4?

Hello,
I have a question, but haven't found an answer to this yet.
Can anyone tell me please: Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard work with Adobe Reader 8.2.4?
I had Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard on my computer & it was working with Adobe Reader 8, but don't remember what the version it was.
I was using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard to scan very old family pictures & documents & I realize that this version of Acrobat is outdated.
To make a long story short, my computer had crashed, so we built another computer & just replaced the hard drive. When I went to Adobe, I had to download the newer version of Reader 9.0 & it didn't work with Acrobat 6.0., so I removed Adobe Reader 9 & I found Adobe Reader 8.0 & have downloaded the patches, so now I have Adobe Reader 8.2.4 back on board.
Thank you.

Adobe doesn't recommend any version of Reader with any version of Acrobat on Windows. It will cause problems. It just is a matter of how and when. The problem has to do with shared resources causing conflicts. If you have Acrobat 8, you can update it to Acrobat 8.2.4. You must apply the updates sequentially.

Xfdf and pdf works in Adobe Reader 6, but not with new versions 7, 8, X

I have a xfdf file which is created by querying a SQL data base and contains data for a pdf form; it works with Adobe Reader 6, but does not work with new versions of Adobe Readers (7, 8, 9 and X).
It is an intranet site running IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2 with Adobe 6 installed and client systems include XPSP2, XPSP3, Vista, Windows 7 with different versions of IE, Firefox.
With new versions of Adobe Reader, click on the hyperlink launched the pdf form in a browser window without data; below is the link:
        // create shipping slip hyperlink
        string strLtrSlipUrl = "~/Archive/LtrShipSlip.pdf#FDF=" + lblWO.Text + "LtrShipSlip" + ".xfdf";
        HyperLink hlLtrShipPdf = new HyperLink();
        hlLtrShipPdf.Text = "Ltr Shipping Slip";
        hlLtrShipPdf.NavigateUrl = strLtrSlipUrl;
        hlLtrShipPdf.Target = "_blank";
        pnlLtrShipSlip.Controls.Add(hlLtrShipPdf);
I have installed new versions of Adobe Reader in the Web server (to match what the clients are using), but results are the same – blank pdf.
I uninstalled the new versions and installed version 6 and the pdf and xfdf worked happily together, but we need new versions of Adobe Reader in the client computers.
Thanks for helps and suggestions – I have read articles about using iTextSharp to create pdf documents from .NET apps, but that would be my last choice.

Adobe Reader 9 can't save the old FDA forms. FDA must update their forms.

I haven't installed anything new since it was working.

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

Highlighter has not been working in Adobe reader in my samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Can you please help?

Highlighter has not been working in Adobe reader in my samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Can you please help?

Update to comment - I found this thread that is related:
Did Adobe Acrobat Reader revert to this bad and nonintuitive way to highlight text? The highlight approach described in this thread - to select text with handles - does work, but it is truly slow and clumsy.

Web Dynpro dropdown doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8

Hi All,
I've developed a Web Dynpro project which uses Interactive form.
The form has a dropdown (simple type from WDJ).
The dropdown works for Adobe Reader 7 but doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8 (when I press the arrow to open the list nothing happens).
Do I need to config/install something for supporting Adobe Reader 8?
I'm using J2EE 7.13.
Thanks,
Omri

Dear Omri,
Make sure that you are using Adobe Reader 8.1.1.
Thanks and Regards,
