Form not working in Reader X

Hello,
I created a form in Acrobat Professional 8, and it works perfectly. When I send it to someone using Adobe Reader X they can not type in the fields or use the submit button. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
I have reader enabled the form, and tried exporting it as an FDF as I have read on other threads, and its still not working.
Thanks in advance!

Additional info regarding this issue:
I am testing it on my PC. We have the creative cloud license so all is updated and complete. I was testing it in different ways, saving all the versions (static, dynamic, with and without extended rights) and the problem sticks. I have noticed that the file with extended rights weight a bit more than original file. Details below:
1. straight from livecycle: 832KB
2. opened in Acrobat, saved as copy 832KB
3. opened in Acrobat, saved with extended rights 844KB
4. opened in Reader, saved with filled data 864KB
5. opened the same file with Reader, it is empty so i save it as a copy - 864KB
6. opened it in Reader & Acrobat - it's empty; opened it in Photoshop - all data is there...???

PDF form not working in Reader 7.0.5

Hello!
We had created PDF form with Adobe Designer to work with Acrobat Reader 7. It contains a submit button to send XML with results via e-mail.
This form works fine with Reader 7.0.0., but not with version 7.0.5. - in the latter version the submit button doesn't work.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Bostjan

LC digital signature does not work in Reader

I have added a signature field in a LC form with expectations that it would work in Reader.
I can see the field but it does not work in Reader. I have opened the form in Acrobat and the signature field works.
Any ideas on resolving this?

Wasil,
Thank you for the reply.
As I do not have LC Server I used Acrobat Pro to save as reader extended which solved the issue.

You know what steve jobs said about flash.
Proove me wrong adobe.
Why is there nothing for me to do anymore then complain here?
Any help would be appreciated.

Digital Signature - is reader extended feature, so it will not work on reader alone without applying proper reader extentions. It is available thru Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions module.

Custom Master Detail form not working In EBS

Custom Master Detail form not working In EBS
Hi all,
I have two custom tables -- 1) XXX_DIE_Headers
2) XXX_DIE_LINES
I developed a Master Detail form based on above tables. XXX_DIE_Headers is the Master Block (Single record) & XXX_DIE_LINES is the detail block ( Multi line block ).
Yes, I used Appstand,Template.fmb for developing this form. The Master block has three fields out of which Two are required fields and i have given initial value for them.
As i deployed it in APPS(EBS),everything about it is working fine (insert,delete,master-detail behaviour) except querying.
When i press F-11 , It pops up a message "Do you want to save changes you have made" Choice - yes,no,cancel.
I don't want this message to pop up.
The scenario is :- I open the form.( without entering ) Press F11 . The message Pops up.
Please give me suggession on how to work it around so as form directly goes to query mode ,without popping the message.
regards
ravi

It seems that you are changing a database value in your form, do you have any changes in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE???
what the form is trying to tell you that you have changed something, do you want to save it?
I suggest you debug your form and see what's happening step by step.

Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working

Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working,

Did you (or someone else) physically open the laptop case?
If you did, then some cables might have gone loose inside.
If you didn't, for the card reader, check if appropriate device drivers are installed in windows device manager.
for the numeric keypad, first tap once on the NUM LOCK key and check.
If this doesn't solve the problem, boot to "Safe mode", and check.

Scandisk Extreme Pro class 10 Cd card does not work in reader

My SD card will not work in reader after I took pictures with my 60D and tried to transfer to MacBook Pro. I tiook the card to best buy and it worked in all IMacs and MacBook Air but none of the Macbook Pros. I read a couple of blogs and they said its the i7 processors that are having the problem. i don't know what the processors were at the store but I do know they weren't working. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I am unable to read the class 10 cards in my i5 quad core 15" MBP, as well. There are reported fixes, including resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) (see the details by following this link => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964)... but so far, nothing I have found/tried will work with the class 10 cards, regardless of the SD card's storage capacity.
EDIT TO ADD: My cards are Sandisk Extreme class 10, 16GB SDHC cards. I don't have the Extreme Pro version of the card. My personal experience leads me to believe the issue is related to the SPEED of the card and NOT THE SIZE.

Calculations not working in Reader Enabled PDF Form

I created a basic Excel spreadsheet and imported it into Acrobat 11 to make a fillable form. Acrobat inserted most of the fields but I had to add some to complete the form. I went into the properties of the fields and set up the calculations using the standard Acrobat calculations. I want the product of field1, field2. When I preview the form, the calculations work. I then close the form for editing and save as reader extended PDF with more tools. When I open the pdf in reader the calculations do not work. I then researched many possibilities on the forums and even called adobe twice with no resolution. I was able to import a blank excel spreadsheet, then created three new fields with calculations and they worked in reader when I saved the form as a reader extended pdf with more tools. So my question is where does my problem originate? Is the problem with the excel spreadsheet or excel formatting ( Excel 2013)? Is the problem with Acrobat 11? When I asked the support tech at Adobe he said that he hasn't heard of this problem before. I have spent hours and hours on this, I have created new forms from scratch and even on different versions of word and acrobat. I figured these calculations should work, am I wrong? ( I have also tried using every calculation option including JavaScript). Thanks in advance for any help.

It's hard to say without seeing a sample. If you can post one somewhere, I'd be happy to test it out. If you can't post somewhere, you can email me at: acroscript at gmail dot com

Acrobat 8 form not working when enabled in Reader version 7

We have a form that was created in version 8 of Acrobat. It was enabled and is not working the same in some of our regional offices as it does in ours. Specifically there is a field that is allowing entry of 7 characters for users in our home office (all using Acrobat 7 or 8) and only 6 characters for users in one of our regions who are using Acrobat Reader version 7. Any idea what setting they have to change or what we have to do to enable the form so it works properly?
Thanks for the help!
Ken K.

The error message is "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records". I'm not really sure how to make an older version of pdf, but if we do this, won't the forms created in version 8 not work properly? Right now our IT folks are having the users start Business Tools to open the older forms and Reader 8 to open the new forms. The trouble with this is that the users aren't familiar with opening applications. They typically double click the file they want which is launching Acrobat 8.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks again for the help!

FORM NOT WORKING on one PC (with reader 7.0.7 installed)

hello.. I created a form in Designer & it is working fine on 3 PCs but not on one which has the latest version of reader installed (i dont know if it has anything to do with that or if its just a coincidence)
the problem is that none of the scripts are working (reset script, submit by email script) & some fields (readonly text fields)are empty on form open -
Would anyone know what could be the problem?
here is a sample of the form (the captions at the top show as blank, and the buttons do not do anything on one PC)
http://download.yousendit.com/F72C503214F4A551
thank you very much

I don't see any reason offhand why this form would not work... do other forms work on the system that you're having problems with? I'm wondering if there's a problem with the Acrobat installation on that PC that's causing the scripts to not run.

Web Forms Not working on Client Machines with Separate Win

Hi friends,
We deployed all our Forms on web and we are using Developer
Server 6.0 ,OAS 4.07, Oracle Jinitator 1.1.7.18 ,Netscape 4.7
Browser
My problem is we configured forms to open in a separate window
this is giving problems on Client Machines they are getting a
blank screen ,previously we used to open forms in the same window
(browser ) at that time we didn't get any problem.
We are using Oracle Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 & Netscape 4.7 as
browser on Client Machines.
Thanks in Advance...!

JInitiator will be downloaded only once - the first time when u connect to a web-forms application. After that - no problem. It is true that the first time it takes a little bit longer, but I think forms are working better using JInitiator. However - it is just a matter of settings how u will make your application to run. Oracle did great improvement of the speed introducing the forms servlet listener. I would expect even better performance with Forms9i. And Win2000 is not a problem, but combination between Win2000 and Pentium4 is. There is a way to avoid your (installation) problems however.
