Form doesn't update fields in Adobe Reader XI

I created a form in Acrobat X Pro, it has a bunch of radio buttons the user must select. The last page is the results page, which has JS code that is executed when entering the page. If I test the form in Acrobat X, the results page properly updates the results fields as soon as you enter the page.
But if I open the page in Adobe Reader XI, the fields in the result page will not update until I save the page. This didn't happened before, forms always behaved the same in Acrobat and Reader. I also tested forms I created months ago, and had the same result.
Does anybody know what's going on here?  Thank you.

After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
     var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
     getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

  • PDF Form Requires a newer version of Adobe Reader

    New at this...Created my form in Live Cycle 8.0/Professional 8. Throughout company we are using Acrobat Reader 7.0 and are not at this time looking to upgrade. When our users open this form, get "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader..." and prompts them to upgrade. Is there anyway I can get rid of this message...a way to make my form know that users will be opening in 7.0 and accept without error?
    Also, I'm not able to get the Submit to Email button to work...getting "This operation is not permitted"...how can I fix?
    Funny thing is I had been able to get the e-mail button to work at one time, but now, all of the sudden, it doesn't want to work...even on my machine which has Live Cycle/Professional 8 loaded?????
    Thanks!

    Geo,
    Thanks for the quick response. Tried and received: "This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.
    Help...thanks again

  • This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader !?

    Hi there
    I use LiveCycle 8 and I design forms for a target audience using Acrobat Reader 7..
    My problem is whatever I put in a form, I get a really annoying message when opened in Acrobat reader 7
    This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader, Without a newer version, the form may be displayed but not work properly etc....
    This doesn't inspire confidence for the user.
    I get this message even if I open a new form, add a single textfield and save as Acrobat 7 PDF form.
    Is there a way around this ?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I am not too sure, I thought that saving as Acrobat 7 pdf,would do that. Is that not the case ? Are you referring to something else ?
    Thanks

  • After the latest update, documents from adobe reader moved to respective folders remain the the Recent. Why? Please advise

    After the latest update, documents from adobe reader moved to respective folders, remain the the Recent. Why?

    The version 11.0 of Adobe Reader for iOS had the Clear List button. However, the newer versions 11.2.x or 11.3.x of Adobe Reader for iOS no longer provides the option to clear the Recents list.
    If you would like the feature back, would you send a request via the following request form?

  • I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

    I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

    Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
    http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
    The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

  • Designer form prompts Reader X error:"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader"

    I have a PDF form that was created using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. PDF version 1.6, so it's good for Reader 7.x and above.
    When someone using Adobe Reader X tries to open the form, they get this javascript error message:
    "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader. Without a newer version, the form may be displayed, but it might not work properly. Some form elements might not be visible at all. In an internet connection is available, clicking OK will download and install the latest version."
    Is there anything I can do to the form that would make this error message go away? Is this a know issue with Adobe Reader X or Designer?

    Is there any code running on the form?
    Reader X has come out with additional security features that must be disabled to get any PDF form w/code to work.
    Open Adobe Reader X --> click on Edit --> Preferences.  Under the General Category, uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" (last checkbox in the dialog box).  Click OK and try to open your form.

  • How to fill out form fields in Adobe Reader

    I was set a PDF, from my employer, but am unable to fill out form field, and sign it using Adobe Reader. I have an I Mac, with the latest OS, and a free version of Adobe Reader.

    Make sure you have the very latest version of Reader (XI), by going here: Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
    If you still can't fill it in, maybe it doesn't actually have form fields in it. You can then use the commenting tools to add text to the file.

  • Issue tabbing through form fields on Adobe Reader 9.2

    Hello everyone.  I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can assist me with.  We are currently using IE6 and Reader 5.5 in our production environment and we are currently testing IE8 and Adobe Reader 9.2 for deployment.  Our company uses a web portal where we have many pdf forms that open within a web browser. The problem we are experiencing is that when tabbing through fields on the pdf, the cursor will eventually cycle down to the end of the form and then start cycling through to the top of the browser (toolbars, address bar, search bar,etc) before finally returning to the pdf document's fields.  Is there either a setting in the reader or maybe even IE which controls this functionality and will limit the tabbing to only the pdf form?  Or does anyone know of a method of limiting the tabbing functionality to only work within the pdf document itself when opened within a browser?
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated.  I have looked through all the reader preferences and do not see anything directly related to this.  Thank you very much in advance.

    I guess by QTP you mean HP Functional Testing 11. This is really something to take up with HP, it's the job of monitor software not to crash.

  • Can't sign signature fields in Adobe Reader XI

    Using Adobe Acrobat X (not the Pro edition!) Dutch (NL) Language Edition  I created a document with two signature fields. Afterwards I tried to save as "Reader Extended". (The only option I found under "Save As" that looked similar to this command in my Dutch language version was "Uitgebreide PDF Reader" (this means "Extended PDF Reader") and then "Formulieren inschakelen en opslaan in Adobe Acrobat".  This last option means literally "Enable forms and save in Adobe Acrobat".)
    When I opened the document in Adobe Reader XI (Dutch version again), the two signature fields are clearly visable, but do nothing when I click on them.
    I've Googled extensively and also read the other topics on this FAQ which deal with similar problems, but to no avail... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
    Regards,

  • Acrobat 9 Professional forms missing data after upgrade to Adobe Reader 10

    My principal has a macbook pro with OS 10.6 on it, and Acrobat 9 Professional. One of the Xerox technicians in our district came around and updated Adobe Reader on her computer to AR 10. This caused her computer to lose the license key for Acrobat 9 Professional. Now all the of the data that she had saved in forms done in Acrobat 9 Pro has been lost. When she opens these files, the forms are blank. Is there any help for recovering the data that was lost from these files?

    As long as the tech did not remove Acrobat, it should still be there. I am not that familiar with MACS, but that is the case for Windows. I would suggest that the tech be requested to rectify the issue. It may be that she just needs to open Acrobat and then the file. It may be that a MAC has a file association like the PC, and in that case she needs to set the file association back to Acrobat.
    If she maintains both AA9 and ARX on the machine, she should also update them. It may be an update issue that is causing the data to not be seen. Some versions have had problems with seeing the data unless the cursor is in the field of interest. So is the data really still there or not?
    Hope my limited thoughts about the MAC is of help. I am sure that some MAC folks will be by to give help.

  • 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.

    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".

  • How do I make a form compatible in all versions of Adobe Reader and various browsers?

    I have created a fillable form in Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2 and the form is available for download on our company's website. Many users are experiencing trouble with the fields not being able to be filled in. I have Adobe Acrobat 9 on my computer. I do know that people using Adobe Reader X have not been able to use the form. I also know that there are issues when viewing/using the form in web browsers. I really need some help as I have exhausted all avenues that I can think of. I have three forms that I created and some people experience problems with only one form, some people have trouble with two, etc. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    There are three forms.
