Force Adobe Reader to Open With Form

Hello,
Is there any way that you can implement a version check in the form so that non-adobe PDF readers are rejected?
For example, A client opened up a form in Apples Preview, was able to fill it all in but when it came to "submit via email" the button did nothing. I tested this myself and came to the same conclusion, but i used the Adobe PDF viewer for mac and everything worked fine.
Any help would be Appreciated.

You can use the app.viewerType command that will return to you a string to indicate which viewer is looking at your file. Not sure what will happen in another Viewer but the doc says:
Reader will be returned for Acrobat Reader version 5 or greater
Exchange will be returned for Adobe Acrobat earlier than version 6.0
Exchange-Pro for Acrobat Pro version 6 or later
Hope that helps
Paul

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Using the Adobe reader iPad app with forms

I want to use the app at work to allow clients to fill out forms. I uploaded my forms and it works well typing in the boxes and writing signatures. Is there then a way to make copies of a document in the app so that I can have a blank template. Also, can you change the name of a document or form once it is opened in the app?

Hello gawks08,
Adobe Reader on iOS currently does not allow you to create copies of a document, or to rename a document. We have taken down these requests for consideration in a future update.
Thanks for your feedback!

Adobe Reader opens PDF files, nothing else.

Issue with latest Adobe Reader 11.0.10 - Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to incompatibility with your system configuration.

Since updating to the most recent Adobe Reader v11.0.10, getting an Adobe Reader Protected Mode: Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due do an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?

The solution I was looking for was to launch Adobe Reader in Protected Mode.
I could not identify issues preventing Protected Mode from starting. What ended up working, was to do a complete uninstall, followed by a reinstall. Now we can load Reader in Protected Mode.

Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.

I keep getting the error message: Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.
I have Windows 7 Home basic Service pack 1 and have already uninstalled and re-downloaded Adobe reader XI twice. I have also read other threads on this forum, and
tried the suggestions, including running Kaspersky anti-rootkit, no threats were found.
My Adobe reader shortcut icon shows a small blue and yellow shield in the bottom right (I uninstalled Windows essential protection), but the problem prevails.
I would rather get to the root of the error and fix it and not just disable protection mode!
Please help.

Hi,
Please refer to the solution in:- Error: “Acrobat Failed to Load core DLL”.
Also, may want to try disabling all Non-Microsoft Startup Services.

Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

Cannot open pdfs with adobe. receive message "adobe reader cannot open fild because it's either not

message states "adobe reader cannot open "resume, ;wps because it's either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)

Microsoft Word Viewer should be able to view .wps files; most likely the installation of the viewer will fix the file association.

How do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?

how do I tell Adobe reader to open a file instead of being prompted to save the file?

Go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" into the filter field. Select the action that you want to associate with PDF files.
In your case select one of the "Use Adobe Acrobat" actions.

Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode

I apologize if this is listed in the wrong category.
Recently, all users on our server started receiving a message: "Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected mode disabled?" The users are presented with 3 options:
Open with Protected Mode disabled
Always open with Protected Mode disabled
Do not open with Protected Mode disabled.
All the users can click "Open with Protected Mode disabled" and the PDF opens fine. I know that I can disable Protected Mode but I would rather not have to disable a security feature.
I have read this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reader.html and none of the provided solutions seem to apply to us. I have tried a rebooting the server and uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe. Neither of these options worked. There is not an antivirus currently running on this server. We are not using Smart Cards. I have checked the Security permissions and they seem to be fine. I can not think of any recent changes to this server, but it has run just fine for years now.
OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Acrobat Version is 11.0.10
Is anyone aware of anything else that could cause this message? Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
That option is not there on my version though. I am using version 11.0.10

Creating an Adobe Reader 6.0 compatible form in Designer 7.0

I imported a PDF into Designer 7.0, updated the form to allow user input, and saved it as an Adobe Reader 6.0 compatible form. This form works fine in Adobe Reader 6.0 but whenever a user initially opens the form, a message pops up prompting the user to upgrade to 7.0 or else the form will not work. Clicking "Cancel" gets rid of the message and allows the user to input into the fully functional form, but the message still pops up every time the form is opened. Over half of our users are running Adobe Reader 6.0, so any help on preventing this message would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff

I'm having the same problems here hope somebody has a solution

How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

Adobe reader cannot open protected mode

I downloaded and installed Reader X, and get the see the message adobe reader cannot open protected mode due to configuration errors.
The link provides no information as to what the problem is.
I have Windows XP SP3 (with all the updates) and using Avira AntiVir as the antivirus.
How do I get to the protected mode?

Hi,
The problem does not seem to be with Avira Antivirus Personal Edition.
Are there no unsupported configurations mentioned in the link
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html#main_Unsupported_configurations
on your system?
Also please let me know the following details:
1) Was ReaderX installed at the default path or the installer path changed manually?
2) Are the PDF files you are trying to open kept on any local disk or any kind of network share?
3) Please disable all the antispyware, antimalware and firewall installed in your system and then verify.
4) Please tell the kind of user(admin/standard/guest ) who is trying to open PDF files.
Thanks .

Adobe Reader is opening word?

Hi, I tried opening a pdf file ( in adobe reader) as a word file earlier. the reason for this is that i wanted to password protect a file (and adobe reader doesn't seem to be able to password protect pdf files). the file would not open in word...but thats not the problem
Now, adobe reader is opening word (which is useless) when I try to open a pdf file, and I can't seem to figure out how to correct this.
Thanks for any help on this.
JRrr

I figured out how to fix the problem in Windows XP of Adobe X trying to open
PDF files with Microsoft Word. Try this:
Try to download any PDF file
Close Microsoft Word, which it will try to use to open the PDF
Left click on "Start" (bottom left of main screen)
Left click "My Documents"
RIGHT click on any PDF file you see stored there
Left click "Properties" (at the bottom of the drop-down screen)
Under the "General" tab, click the "opens with" drop down arrow
I found that my default to open PDF files was Microsoft Word; I changed thje
default to "Adobe Reader", clicked "ok" (save) and voila....my PDF files now
open in Adobe!
Hope this works for you, also.
