Form designing for compatibility between Acrobat Reader 7 and Acrobat Professional

I have designed a Form using LiveCycle Designer 7.0. It contains a few subforms and lot of javascripting. One of the javascript logic I am using is to display a subform when a user clicks a radio button and hide it when the user clicks another radio button. The subform contains Text field, Numeric field, Rectangle, Line, Button. This worked well with Acrobat Reader 7.
After I installed Acrobat Professional 7, my form breaks. I did a quick test to see where it breaks and came out with the following conclusion.
1. If the subForm contains an Image, Line, Rectangle or Circle control, the subForm rendering throws error (Adobe Acrobat 7.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close) when I click on the radio button to display the subform.
2. If the subForm contains Text control, it is displayed even if subform is invisible.
3. If the subForm contains Checkbox, Radio, Dropdown list, List Box, Button, Submit By Email, Submit, Print Form, Reset Form; these controls are never displayed even if subform is visible.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response.
I need some clarification. When you say 7.0.5 version, are you expecting 7.0.5 version of Reader or Professional?
Here's the steps I followed:
I originally had Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and everything worked great.
Now I have uninstalled Designer and Reader and installed
Acrobat Professional Tryout. This installs Acrobat Professional version 7.0.0 and Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 (which is the same as above). Now the same forms which were working earlier are not working as expected.
Please note that I have NOT installed Acrobat Reader 7.0.5. How do I find out what version of Reader does Designer user for PDF preview?
If I separately download Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, how do I tell Designer to use that version for PDF preview?
Thanks,
Satish

Unable to install Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Flash Player

Hello,
I am trying to install Acrobat reader and acrobat flash player on my Laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T420) after installing windows 8.1 64 bits, after successfully downloading both software, the adobe reader installer opens with a dark grey box and nothing else happens.
The installer can't be closed except from the task manager.
I have tried to start as administrator, enable javascript, different browsers, restart the laptop, ... all gave me the same result.
Below image shows what i am receiving.
Kindly advise.

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool and reinstall from scratch.

Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Standard v9 compatibility

What is the lowest version of Acrobat Reader that can read Acrobat Standard 9 .pdf files?

Thank you Michael... I should have checked that out.

Both Acrobat Reader and Acrobat x Pro MAc 10.1.4 crash

This is very annoying.
Where can I get support for this? I have sent in numerous crash logs, re-installed repeatedly, tried to use Time Machine all to no avail.
Which aprt of Adobe Support deals with this please?

The only thing common I think I see is Fonts. Unless the acrobat Fonts are removed they are no installed upon a reinstall.
If you using a Mac use FontBook to look at find bad fonts or repair fonts Also Mountain Lion (OSX.8.x) is the toughest/Strictest on Fonts than any other previous system.

Re:adobe reader and acrobat

Welcome to our community, Vinesh
Firstly, I'm thinking you have wandered into the wrong
community. You are asking a question about Acrobat and this
community is focused on Adobe Captivate. If you want to ask further
questions about Acrobat, you should consider asking in the Acrobat
community. You may do so by clicking the link below:
Click
here to visit the Acrobat community
Now for the gist of what you asked. There is a huge
difference between Acrobat Reader and Acrobat. One uses Acrobat as
the application used to create content that is later viewed by
someone with the basic Acrobat reader. The reader is a free
download for all. You have to purchase Acrobat in order to create
content that you produce for the reader to present.
Hopefully that makes a bit of sense. If not, try posting the
same question over in the Acrobat forums and see what someone
replies with.
Cheers... Rick

Livecycle form crashes Reader and Acrobat

I've created a Livecycle form that has been working great. However, a user managed to corrupt it somehow and now it causes both Reader and Acrobat to freeze and then close when trying to load it. I also tried it in Nuance which causes a freeze but not an app close. However I noticed in task manager that while frozen, Nuance's memory consumption continues to grow.
Is there anyway to debug this to determine what is going on? Any other suggestions on how I can try to determine what is happening?

Hi,
Does the form crash when you do a preview in LiveCycle Designer? Have you got "When exception thrown" set to break in JavaScript preferences, maybe you can see an exception in the console?

What is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?

what is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?What are the procedure to download a Acrobat reader?

Good day,
Adobe Reader is a free application we offer for viewing and printing PDF files. Many years ago, it was known as Acrobat Reader. You may still see some users refer to Adobe Reader as 'Acrobat Reader'. Old habits are sometimes hard to break!
You can download Adobe Reader by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Kind regards,

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro updates for 11.0.10 being pushed out through SolarWinds Patch Manager are not being recognized as applicable.

I am trying to update our Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro to 11.0.10 using the default MSP packages with SolarWinds Patch Manager. All of the systems keep reporting as 'NOT APPLICABLE'. All of the workstations have Reader11.0.09, with about 10% still on 11.0.08 (due to the fact that the reader 11.0.09 package only patched about 2/3 of the systems). All systems that have Acrobat Pro are 11.0.09.
In SolarWinds I am using the "Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages" node.
Adobe Systems Acrobat 11 Catalog
Adobe Systems Reader 11 Catalog
and the SW Patch Manager downloads the msp's straight from Adobe.
I have checked the msp's manually and they will update at least back to 11.0.07 in Reader, and 11.0.0 in Acrobat Pro. (I had an old stand alone system that still had Reader 11.0.07, and I did a new install of Pro and went straight to update 11.0.10)
The SolarWinds Tech said, "Okay. That content is produced by Adobe. Any questions concerning applicability logic or diagnosing why a package reports as NotApplicable when that's not expected would need to be directed to Adobe, as they are solely responsible for that content and its behavior".
I am new to SolarWinds Patch Manager, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you are attempting to use the SCUP catalogs outside of the MS solution. I can almost guarantee you that Adobe didn't test it if it's not referenced in the ETK: 11 SCCM-SCUP — Enterprise Administration Guide
That being said there "should" be logging available in any deployment solution. Since I am not familiar with Solar-Winds particular solution I can't say if it logs errors and how verbose those logs might be. If you have logs then post the output and the forum members "might" be able to assist you.

Installation Media for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash without Extra Software

Is there a Installation Media format for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash which does not have McAfee, Google Chrome or Google Toolbar associated with the installation? This deployment is for a IT department. We do not want Google Chrome, Toolbar, or McAfee installed on our workstation, and we want to prevent our users from installing them when performing the upgrades to newer versions. We want installation media without the extra software for deployment. Does Adobe supply these?

Re The first Link:
Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
I have done this. I just need the refund that was mentioned on the bottom of the page that I have already cancelled on. None of the other links on that page are relevant and none mention the word "Refund"
Re; The second link, is this a UK 0800 number or a US Number? I am in the UK. Will I be on hold for 32 minutes again if I ring this number?

My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0.

My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can no longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0. Apple dosen't let me download Safari 5.0; so what do I do. The bank had me download Chrome, and I can now download my statements. but what a pain. Any suggestios?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Did you do that: launch the standalone Reader (not the browser plugin) and accept the EULA?

Compatibility between Java crypto and open ssl

Hello
I have some question about compatibility between java crypto and openssl library.
This is my case:
1.I created DESede key and stored it to file:
SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("TripleDES").generateKey();
File f = new File("c:\\key.dat");
DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
dos.write(key.getEncoded());
dos3.close();2.I encrypt some file "c:\\normal.dat" through:
ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key2);
byte[] enc = ecipher.doFinal(normalData);
File f2 = new File("c:\\enc.dat");
DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f2));
dos.write(enc);
dos.close();

You have carefully left out some critical java code, namely the Cipher.getInstance() method. You'll notice in the documentation for this method that there 3 components to the "transform" argument of this method, the algorithm, the mode, and the padding. All of these must match exactly with the what openssl is using. Furthermore, if you are using one of the modes which require an IV, like CBC mode, then this must match exactly too. If you don't explicitly specify some of these parameters, you might get default values supplied. It is up to you to find out what these are.

I like ti known about compatibility between Windows 8 and iTunes

I like ti known about compatibility between Windows 8 and iTunes

It works for some and not for others.
At this time, there is no publicly available version of iTunes that is supported on Windows 8.
Only Apple knows when that will change.

Mac / Adobe Compatibility Issues with Reader X1 & Acrobat X1

I'm using Acrobat X1 11.0.10 and Reader 11.0.10 with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5).
In Reader, when I click the "show next page" down arrow, it takes around 5 seconds to jump to the next page. (scrolling to the next page via the scroll bar works fine).
In Acrobat, when I use the text edit tools, it can take up to 10 seconds before I can edit a word (remove or add a letter).Oftentimes, Acrobat will highlight the whole paragraph rather than just the word I select. (I think this is due to the lag time.) When I backspace to remove a word, nothing happens ... for several seconds. Then letters begin disappearing.
I reverted from Mavericks and Yosemite back to Lion (or Mountain Lion - I forget what they called 10.8.5) in the hopes of fixing this issue. When I say reverted back. I did a full install. Wiped the hard drive, loaded 10.8.5 and started this Mac as if it were new.
Is there a version of Reader and Acrobat that work with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5)?

Hi,
Acrobat 11 is compatible with MAC 10.8.5. So, there are no compatibility issues.
Please let me know if this happens with every PDF or some specific one?
If specific, then please tell me what is the size of your PDF file.
You might also try repairing Acrobat from the Help menu.

Anubha
