Filling PDF forms with in-house software - pdf no longer works in Reader

I have created a PDF form in Acrobat 8.1.0 Pro and enabled the "Filling of form fields" feature.
1)
I can open this form in Adobe Reader, fill fields, save, load / repeat process as many times as I want with no problems.
What we would like to be able to do is "pre-fill" some of the form fields using an in-house application with some data and save. At a later time, users would need to add additional information.
If I open one of these pre-filled forms with Adobe Reader, it immediately gives an error message and closes the file:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
Other programs such as "Foxit" and "AmiUni PDFSuite" don't seem to care that the file was pre-filled.
Is this because Adobe Reader actually checks some sort of CRC or signature which was created at the time the initial PDF form was created by Adobe Pro - and if the signature is no longer valid Adobe Reader won't go any further?
2)
What would be the options to get around this problem? Is there a way to accomplish this with Adobe Pro? We need to be able to pre-fill some fields in the form from our application, then have the user complete filling the form manually.
Thanks!

Enabling usage rights in reader grants specific rights for a given document - form fill in, saving, signing, etc. Reader checks if something else has been done to the document beyond the scope of the rights granted and apparently the program you are using to add the form data is triggering this test for some reason. There is a digital signature which isused to check this, plus an analysis of what has changed in incremental save sections.
What you are trying to do should work in principal. If the developer of the application is available, have them look at what else is being changed besides the addition of form data. They should be able to fix the problem.
If the pre-fill data is the same for each user, you can definitely run the pre-fill and then enable usage in reader.

  • Commentable/saveable PDF no longer works in Reader 9

    Greetings all,
    I have seen this on the web, but have not seen the solution.  Can anyone provide one?
    Some years back we received commentable/saveable PDF versions of the Bible.  My husband has been highlighting and commenting these for a long while.  Since Adobe 9 and for a number of months now, he can no longer comment/save the PDF.
    I downloaded another set of the PDFs (there are two).  When you open one of the PDFs, it says that commenting is allowed.  After you comment and save the document (something that has been done MANY TIMES for a year or more), you get a message: "The document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of the extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I know this situation is happening to others since Adobe 9.  Surely we do not all have to try to find and contact the orginal author who enable commenting to have them fix something that is now apparently broken when using Adobe 9?
    Help anyone?  Adobe rep, are you there?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tink

  • Save as PDF no longer works in Safari in 10.5.1

    Since this has to do with the printing interface I'm guessing this is where the post goes.
    I found that saving a webpage as a pdf no longer works from Safari 3.0.4 in OS 10.5.1. The print dialog box won't go away after selecting save as pdf so you have to force quit Safari. It looks like the save dialog goes behind the print dialog and I can't get to it.
    Anybody else have this issue? I found that other people were having printing of pdf problems, but I didn't see this one.
    -Dan

    Never mind. Seems that Default Folder V 3.0.2 was causing the issue. I killed the Default Folder task and problem is gone. Time to buy an upgrade.

  • LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support is no longer able to read all lightscribe discs(Blank or Containing Data)

    Hi,
    The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
    Notebook PC support
    The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
    Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
    out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
    FIRST OF ALL:
    My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
    My
    sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
    My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply. 
    However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
    I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found
    it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
    the computer shuts down suddenly.
    My problem is follows:::
    First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR  Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
    unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
    I  was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
    corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:

    Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.

    I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk/r /f'
    I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
    I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
    I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
    which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
    I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor  third party disc recording software.
    However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE.
    Thus, my questions are:
    How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with another one.
    I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while
    my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the
    primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and
    then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOTrecognised/Installed on
    BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files
    at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS.  However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then
    clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that
    made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto thesecondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same
    primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS.
    What is meant with with double Layer Support.
    How much does it cost?

    Could you please really concentrate with me, and really reply to me to finish this problem pending.
    If you had had a look again at my first post, you would have seen that I said that I have done some things, among of which is: I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
    which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

    However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
    or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
    Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
    as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc  drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

  • PDF Fill-in forms with Digital Signatures - LDAP, Roaming ID's

    Hello, my organization is trying to be more "Green" by taking regular PDF documents that use to be printed, filled in by hand, signed and then routed... To a PDF fill-in form that contains a Digital Signature Block. I can easily and successfully create PDF fill-in forms, where Im running into an issue is with the Digital Signatures.
    I can easily create a Digital Signature that is stored on my local computer and sign documents then forward them via email on to the recipient. However, what we would like and have been failing and making happen is to set up a signing server where the signer can fill out the PDF form and then sign the document by pulling their digital signature from a Directory Server, in our case LDAP or Active Directory.
    From the information that I have found on the web I know this can be done without use of expensive third party applications. However, I have not found information on how to do this other then this simple 3 line instruction which did not work for us. - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0w/Professional/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e501 02bd615109794195ff-7d96.html
    Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reference to the digsig user guide. I've reviewed this documentation and the majority of it I had already tried however one TIP that is in this document that I hadn't seen before points to setting up a FDF file to import AD secure to easily import the ID's
    More specifically, I have configured LDAP and the Security settings in Adobe Pro and when attempting to connect to our LDAP server is when I run into the issue. I am not able to connect. Is there any additional information that you know of that can shed some light on LDAP configuration with Adobe PDF forms for digital id's?

  • Filling in forms with adobe reader in firefox on ubuntu64

    Hi
    I am trying to fill in pdf forms with adobe reader 8.12 in firefox 3.03 and ubuntu64 8.04.
    The forms display in firefox and I can check boxes, but when I try to select a text box I am unable to type. I can enter text by right clicking on the box and pasting. I also cannot use tab to move between boxes.
    If I save a pdf to disk and open it with adobe reader then I can enter text and cycle through boxes with tab.
    Sometimes I am unable to load pdfs in firefox that I have viewed before. When I click on the link a blank page is displayed. I can open them if I set firefox to open them externally with acroread rather than in the browser window.
    Thanks for any help.
    Paul

    It's completely up to the IRS to create a form where the information fits in the field. There is nothing you can do with Reader since it is simply what it is called, a reader.
    For you to change the document properties would require using the full version of Acrobat.

  • Filling out form with pre-determined values

    I am new to LiveCycle. I want to set up a form where if a person hits a button or check box, it fills in the form with predetermined variables. I want to there to be several different buttons/check boxes which if selected fill out the form with the predetermined values. These values would be different, depending on the check box/button selected.  Is this possible?
    Just to help understand a little more, I am designing a medical prescription form.
    If the practitioner selects 'Option A' I want it to automatically fill out the required fields in the rest of the form with the predetermined values (set by me).
    Similarily if the practitioner selected 'Option B', it fills out the form with another set of predetermined values.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks

    After looking at your form, I understand what you were going for.  You want several fields prepopulate values when you select either Option A, Option B... and so on.  Here is the script I use for the different fields, I would also suggest adding the same script to the initialized event so you can save the state of the form after it has been changed.
    From a Drop Down - JavaScript Change event 
    if(xfa.event.newText == 'Option A'){
    optionText.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText2.rawValue = "This is option A value";
    optionText3.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText4.rawValue = "This is option A";

    I would attach a sample form, however I can't see where to upload it on this forum.  I will email you the form.
    Suggestion on your form:  Make sure your form fields have unique names in the hierarchy (Shift + F11). 

  • Links in PDF no longer work after optimizing file

    Hi,
    I created a PDF file that is about 5.50 MB that needs to be reduced in size.  This PDF file was orginally created in Microsoft Word
    with a linkable Table of Contents and links inside the document to websites. 
    When I create a PDF from this Word file in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, the links work as they should.  However, the file size is too big for reasons I won't get into.
    I read that a trick to reducing the file size is to try have Adobe try to print the newly created PDF document (by going to file -> print -> and clicking 'OK,' even though my computer is not connected to a printer).  After Adobe tries to print the entire document, I click 'save as,' and sure enough, it successfully reduces the file size from about 5.50 MB to about 3.80MB without losing any quality.  That solved my problem of the file size, but for some bizarre reason, it created a new problem with the PDF document.
    For some reason, after I shrink the PDF file size by printing the file, the linkable Table of Contents and the http links throughout the document no longer work in Adobe Reader or even in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, which created the PDF.  The links in the PDF document still appear as links, but when the 'hand' hovers over them, it doesn't change to an arrow.  And when you try to click them, nothing happens.
    Why is this?  Is there some setting in 'Print PDF document' that is causing the links to be disabled?  How do I get the PDF links to work as they normally do?
    I haven't changed any of the default settings in the PDF printer.  When the print box pops up, I just click 'OK.'  It then tries to print the entire PDF document and then when it is completed, I just save as.  Not sure what it would then disable the links.
    Thanks.
    BTW, I have tried the optimizing feature to reduce the PDF file size, and it ruins the quality of this document.  The print PDF file trick works like a charm except for it disabling the links.  I'd like to figure out why it is doing this and that would solve the problem.

    Actually on Mac two forms will transfer
    URL written as http://www.jqSmith_anywhere.usa
    mailto:[email protected]
    and Only if you go through File Menu > Print> Pdf> Adobe PDF
    or save document and Drop on The Acrobat application icon in the Dock. (doing this way though you have to wait possibly several minutes.)
    And only only with acrobat X and XI.
    The issue is when in Word you have higlighted a word, Pphrase or sentence the gone to Insert menu > URL the type in URL or Mailto. Then saved. This is a Minor issue that adode fixed if adobe desired to. It has taken adobe 15 years just fix so you could type in URL and mailto directly. It will likely tthem another 15 to get the other way fixed. They would rather Blame Microsoft and Apple.  rather than hunker down and fix the problem. Thevisual part or vdeo is based on PDF standard Adobe re;ease to general Public whenactobat first came out anew features emerge. And The code for Making Links is identical in both the Windows version and the Mac version. a saved version of the PDF on Mac when opend by the PDF shows the links. If Opened in Apple's Pages just opened the links are there. If doing nothing to the pages file and its exported back to Word (or Excel if its an excel file) the made a PDF. all types of links will be hot. If the File from Pages, or exporte to any of the OpenOffice version and aDF is created the PDF works. So iApple is taken out of the equation.  its squarely between MS and Adobe. And Adobe gets along with no one. They are arogant and an island to themselves, cooperating with no one.

  • Convert web page to pdf no longer works

    I have win7/ office 2010/ IE 8/ acrobat pro 9.0.  Previously on win xp/ office 2010/ acrobat standard/ IE 7 -  I used to be able to right mouse and from the drop down menu 'convert to pdf' while on a web page or Sharepoint page, and the links to documents would remain active.   But lost that ability when we upgraded from win xp to win 7.  I just upgraded from standard to pro thinking that would fix the problem, but it hasn't.  I read several of the other discussions but either the pro version is higher than mine, or IE is higher.  I can't upgrade from IE 8 to IE 9 as our internal programs don't yet support this.  According to what I can see, I have no add-ons, but wouldn't know what to add anyway.  I also tried the Internet options/ advanced/ browsing/ enable third party browser extensions, but I do not have permissions to turn that on.  Please advise how I can make the 'convert to pdf' operational again.

    I am guessing that you have not updated AA 9 and are likely running on a 64-bit machine. If you expect things to work, you will need to do the updates. But even then you may have problems. With OFFICE 2010, you will not be able to use the PDF Maker from AA 9. For PDF Maker to work you would have to upgrade. That may be true of the IE version you are using also. You will probably have to either open the URL within Acrobat or open the browser and print.
