FDF response issue with Acrobat Reader 9.4.2

Hello,
The Adobe Reader 9.4.2 is causing issues with FDF response.
Our web application serves PDF dynamically via custom IHttphandler. Our website enables users to fill pdf forms with data and then sends data by submitting it in XFDF format to some data handler module which saves pdf form's data to Database and then sends FDF resrponse to enable users to continue the interaction with pdf form.
Prior to this update we didn't expeirence any issues during described process with any Adobe Reader version.
Now, if our app sends FDF response after PDF form data is submitted and saved, the following error occurs :
"Unable to locate the form, because the FDF lacks an /F key. If the FDF came back as a result of a submit from a PDF form, then the URL is probably missing "#FDF" at the end".
I'm providing the url with "#FDF" part at the end and it can't cause any problems.
As far as the /F key is concerned, if I provide add it to my response FDF with URL, it redirects to that URL which is not a desired and correct behaviour for our website.
This error has not appeared before, and doesn't appear after Adobe Reader X latest patch (10.0.1).
Any solutions to this issue would be appriciated.
Thanks,
David

Hey David,
Yeah, I also found the .3 update to much joy the other day, but I fairly quickly arrived at the same conclusion as you However our company has filed a support ticket with Adobe Developer Support describing the error. Also I set up a simple test-page that hopefully will expose the error for the Adobe staff.

When I get any news I'll be sure to let you know.
Cheers,

Performance Issues with Acrobat Reader 11.0.0.2 when secure mode is enabled

Hello All,
We are experiencing sporadic issues with Acrobat 11.0.0.2 across our domain, users are reporting performance issues when opening PDF documents whether locally or from a network share.
We have found that turning off Secure Mode helps towards reducing this delay and in the cases it doesn't we are repairing the installation and/or reinstalling the application.
Due to the security implications we need to leave this turned on, I am wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and what steps were taken towards resolving it?
I also wonder whether the white list function in the new release 11.0.0.3 would be a solution to this issue?
Kind Regards,
Ryan McCarty

No probelm, so....
We had no problems with Adobe Reader 9 and 10, we encountered the issues when upgrading to 11.0.0.2.
Initially we found that turning off the Protected Mode, helped but did not resolve the issue.
We tried;
1. Turn off protected mode - issue still present
2. Clearing the recent file registry using the below registry path and deleting the keys underneath it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles (this does not turn recent files off permanently). - works but needs clearing regularly
3. Turning off welcome screen by creating - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cWelcomeScreen - works to improve app open speed.
4. uninstall/reinstall of 11.0.0.2 - works most likley due to the recent files being cleared.
5. upgrade to 11.0.0.3 - issue still present
Following reboots the issue is still present.
When Adobe Reader is the only application open this issue is still present.
As mentioned I have no systems available which I could test this issue using 11.0.0.1 as we have fixed them, albeit temporarily using the reinstall method.
I am concious that this issue is going to reoccur once that cache (recent files) builds back up because the fix above (#2) is clearing the recent files cache NOT disabling it.

Fonts issue with Acrobat Reader 9

We have recently pushed Acrobat Reader 9 in our environment on Windows XP Pro. One of user reported a strange issue, he is opening a PDF file in Acrobat Reader 9 but he is getting half fonts all across the document but if we are opening the same file in Reader 7 we can see complete fonts, also at the same time if we copy and paste them in MS Word or notepad we are getting complete fonts. I have observed that in Reader 9 one option is missing that we have in Reader 7 i.e, "use local fonts" under Documents menu, but not sure if this is the reason behind the issue.
Please refer to attached screenshot.
Please help/suggest.
Thanks in advance
Vikas

The option 'use local fonts' is available in Adobe Reader 9.

Created Menu in JS in Acrobat 9.2 & Issue with Acrobat 9.4.4

I originally created this Javascript on Acrobat
7.0 because there was not a means for me to
convert a pdf to jpeg.
When I updated to Acrobat 9.2, the following javascript that I have been using until I have acrobat 9.4.4.
     // mystuff.js - Adobe Acrobat custom menu addition
     app.addMenuItem({ cName: "SaveToJPEG", cParent: "File", nPos: 0,
      cExec: "this.saveAs('/c/football/JPEG Folder/Rept.jpeg', 'com.adobe.acrobat.jpeg')" });
     // End of media.js
In Acrobat 9.4.4 I have the problem of creating this jpeg now.
I see this issue with Acrobat 9.4.4 on Win XP Sp2 (or Sp3 if its the latest), and on Win 7 (64-bits) pro.
I believe there is now "Save As" menu option that will allow me to save a file to jpg now.
I manually tried this using the tool bar and its all works.
I call this operation using MS Access VBA code.   This is part of the VBA colde that I used:
            Path = pdfFile & T![DirName]
            pptFile = Left(T![DirName], Len(T![DirName]) - 4) & ".ppt"
            Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
            Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDOC")
            If (AVDoc.Open(Path, Path)) Then
                Set AVPageView = AVDoc.GetAVPageView
                Set pdDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc()
                Set jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject
                gApp.Show
                gApp.MenuItemExecute "SaveToJPEG"
                Set jso = Nothing
                pdDoc.Close
                Set pdDoc = Nothing
                Set AVPageView = Nothing
                AVDoc.Close (0)
                Set AVDoc = Nothing
            End If
            OldName = "c:\football\JPEG Folder\Rept.jpeg": NewName = "c:\football\JPEG Folder\Rept_Page_" & Format(Count, "000") & ".jpeg"
            Name OldName As NewName
            Count = Count + 1
I am able to call the menu item "SAVE AS", but I don't know how to pass parameters to this ??   I was able to called the "Save As" as follow:
     gApp.MenuItemExecute "Save As"
How would I pass the parameter like I have in my Javascript ??
I need help to resolve this issue to work with Acrobat 9.4.4 ?

You would need to first set some javascript globals from your VBA code and then call your menu item.

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)

Issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and Windows 7 64-bit Preview Handler

Hi. I work in an enterprise environment that is currently migrating to 64-bit Windows 7. The only version of Acrobat we have approved for Windows 7 is 10.1.2. We're seeing an issue with this version that causes the preview handler to not work. The preview panel in Explorer is just white and will eventually give the error "Preview handler surrogate host has stopped working." I've tried to fix listed on http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html but that registry key is already correct. Our current work around for these users to just install Reader X1 and make it the default PDF handler, but I would like to find a better solution. Is there a known issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and 64-bit operating systems? Or is there a way to change just the default preview handler?

Most of the info on the web page you link to is 2-4 years old. I doubt it applies. Your workaround is actually the best solution: It's always preferred to use the latest PDF viewer. Reader and Acrobat can exist on the same machine.
Also, why 10.1.2? There have been 6 releases since then with documented security enhancements (meaning there are also published vulnerabilities which are patched), bug fixesm, and feature enhancments.
I'll ping some folks about the error you are getting. . .

"Copy to clipboard" issue with Acrobat X and Skype extension in Firefox

This post is just to let you know that there is and issue with Acrobat X and the Skype extension in Firefox.
I don't know why but when both programs (Firefox and Acrobat) are opened and I try to copy something from a PDF I always get an error
message like "Impossible to copy into the clipboard. An internal error occurred".
If I close Firefox or I disable the Skype extension for Firefox everything runs smoothly.
It is really odd, I don't know if it is a problem of Acrobat, Firefox or of Skype....
Are anyone experiencing the same problem?
See you.
Alessandro.
Ps. I'm using Windows Vista SP2, Skype extension 5.2.0.7165, Acrobat 10.0.1, Firefox 3.6.16

Just found your post after getting the same problem with Google Chrome and Adobe Reader 10. It doesn't happen all the time but is annoying. If I switch Chrome off the problem is cured. Switch it straight back on and the problem reappears. It has only started after Skype was installed. Thanks for posting - I'll just switch Chrome off for now when I want to copy and paste unless a fix appears.

Continuing Leopard Issues with Acrobat Pro

So after patiently waiting for Leopard update and installing it, I'm still having the same Distiller crash when trying to print to PDF. Is anyone else still having problems after this update? There's little weird about the machine - MBP Intel with 10.5.1 - and I'm up to round 4 with Adobe support on this.

I was having the crash issue with Acrobat Professional 8 right after I upgraded to CS3 in 2007 and prior to loading Leopard recently. Calling Adobe did not help in fixing the problem (they just had me reinstall the software). The support staff didn't find/look for the Technote I finally found: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=333592
When I upgraded to Leopard yesterday, I started making sure I had the latest updates for my CS3 suite and had to turn the updater.acroplugin plugin back on to install the updates. I was hoping the updates would have fixed the problem, but it didn't. Soon as I "unchecked" the acroplugin, Acrobat worked fine again in Leopard.

I got some issues with Adobe Reader.

Hello!
I got some issues with Adobe Reader. When I read a document in the Firefox
I have to click in the Adobe window all the time to reactivate keyboard shortcuts
to tale effect in the document.
Like when I scroll up and down the document with the arrow keys, this doesn't
work after changing to an other windows or tab and coming back to the previous
window.
Was there a clue to this behavior? Like a check box or what I did not see until
now?
Thank You Very Much.
Sincerely,
Steve

Does this occur with all pdf documents or only one specific document? What version of the Mac operating system are you using? What version of Acrobat reader?

PDF Documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0

Which version (Standard, Pro or Ext Pro) of Adobe Acrobat 9.0 family should I buy to create PDF documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0 ????
Is it possible to create PDF files from HTML and navigate through the links ????
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.
Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ???? Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ????? If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
Thank you in advance.

Viewing issue with Adobe Reader

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with Adobe reader, which appears to be not related to platform or version. To cut a long story short. I've created an A4 design in Photoshop. Part of this design includes some boxes, that have been given an outline (border) effect. Also bare in mind that the Photoshop files are being created at 350dpi.
When I put my design into Illustrator/ InDesign and then generate a PDF file. I then go and look at the pdf file and when the zoom is at 100%, the edges of the boxes are not straight, you'll get a slight offset half way along for example. However, when I zoom in to 400% the problem disapears and the lines (edges) look perfectly as they should.
Does anyone know about this issue? I'm worried that when I print from the PDF, this issue will be in the print-out - or will it be OK when I print it seeming as it dissapears at 400% zoom.
Any prompt answers or help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Luke

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
