Forms 6i -OCX / Adobe Acrobat issue

I'm having trouble with a form that has been working for the past year.
My canvas displays an OCX item. I've inserted the Adobe Acrobat Control for ActiveX into that item, but everytime I re-open the canvas, the item is blank.
I'm running Forms 6i, version 6.0.8.14.1 .
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

  • Can I export or convert an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

    What is the best method for exporting or converting an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

    Good day in2psy,
    As FormsCentral is a web-based service that hosts the forms you create, you cannot download them and use them locally on your computer.
    Kind regards,

  • Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

    Hello all,
    I am having issues- big ones- please help!
    I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
    This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
    I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
    Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
    I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
    Don't know what else to do.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    A.

    I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it.  Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format? 
    For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out.  They fill it out and click a button to email it to me.  When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
    Thank you for your help thus far.  It has been much  more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

  • Saving a Form created in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    We create forms for the company to use with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, but because others do not have Acrobat 9 Pro they can not save the document after they have filled out the form.  This is causing a big issue for us.  Does anyone know a way that we can create a Form in Acrobat 9 Pro that allows others to fill it out using just the plain version of Adobe (guessing they only have Reader) and then they can save it to their desktop?

    You need to apply the Extended Reader Rights to it from the Advanced menu in
    Acrobat.

  • I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral.  I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website.  HOW DO I DO THIS?

    I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck.  All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button.  It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral.  What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website.  Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting.  I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral.  This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

    I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables.  The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows.  Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

  • Auto number form field for Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard?

    I'm creating an online form using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and need to know how create an automatic sequential system for each form.
    For example, if a customer prints form 1 from the website, I need the next form to be tracked as form 2, and the next will automatically become 3, etc.
    Is there a way to do this with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, or do I need Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    Thanks!

    Neither will help with what you want. The web server would have to be responsible for generating a new number each time the file is served, and somehow modifying the document to include the number. The document could be set up to request a number from the server and returning it in a response, but it would still be something that's managed by the server. Both approaches require server-side programming.

  • Why can't users save data in fillable form created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    I have created a fillable pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have everything working great.  When I send it to users they can fill in all of the information, but they can not save the data in the form.  I have followed these instructions before I send the form to the users:  (Acrobat Pro) Type in non-fillable forms (File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
    The form includes text fields, radio buttons, e-signatures (x).
    I have researched for days, spoke to countless "Adobe Chat Room Techs" and still have no idea what I am doing wrong.
    I am so desperate for help.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I've created a form in LiveCycle Designer & Acrobat X, and saved it.
    However, when I open it up with Adobe Reader XI, I get the following message
    What am I doing wrong?
    This used to be a relatively simple process, and now I'm completely confused with how I enable saving forms that others have filled out.
    If I'm understanding what has been written in this thread previously, this is now normal functionality that doesn't require special settings like it had previously.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Need to edit a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro X but now I can't edit the form questions, I know I'm missing something obvious but its driving me nuts right now.

    here is a link to the file:
    Wikisend: free file sharing service
    I want to be able to edit the following:
    I Squared R, LLC
    Meeting Attendance Form
    1-901-0001-00001 Revision 1
    and pretty much everything else... I created the file a while ago but I cant remember how to edit the file and I really don't want to have to redo everything again. As far as i can figure out the file isn't locked or anything. Any ideas?

  • Adobe Reader - Adobe Acrobat issue

    I have a user who has Adobe Reader 9.3.4 installed on his system and he also has Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0.
    When he tries to open up a PDF that is on the Web that does not ask if he wants to "open" the file or "save" the file it just (tries) to open up the PDF, he gets the following error message:
    Adode PDF Document
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  Please Exit and try again.
                                            OK
    I checked the file extension as to what the default program is for opening up PDF's and it does say that it is Adobe Reader 9.3.
    What do I need to do to correct this issue?  He needs to have Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat installed on his system.
    Thanks,
    RI

    Hi,
    The reason that you are getting this message is because, your default application to handle .PDF is set as Adobe Acrobat 6 which is not compatible for opening files in browser.
    I read that you have checked that the default application is Adobe Reader on your system, but that is application that Windows has associated with any file with .PDF extension.
    Internally, Adobe Acrobat is set as the default PDF viewing application.
    You can set Reader as the default viewing app by doing the following steps:
    1. Uninstall Adobe Reader from your system.
    2. Install Adobe Reader 9.3.4 from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
    3. While installing, the installation dialog will ask you, which app do you want to set as the default app for viewing PDFs. Make sure that you chose Adobe Reader and continue further.
    4. Voila, you will have Adobe Reader as the default app while you open files in browser.

  • Microsoft Word Form Fields and Adobe Acrobat X

         Using a Microsoft Word document where form fields are protected - if you save in Adobe Acrobat X -  - you only see your changes - all the old data is lost. 
    Acrobat does not seem to have a solution.

    You have the option to print the Word form and data to a PDF.
    You have the option to use OOO.org, that export to PDF forms.
    If you are talking about updating the content of the form and not the fields, create a new PDF under a different name and then replace the PDF page in the PDF.

  • Adobe Printing Form in new Adobe Acrobat Window (not SAPGUI)?

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with an Adobe form and maybe you can help.
    We have two SAP systems in place: system A is a 4.6C system and system B is a ECC 6.0 system. I have written an ABAP report that runs in system A and
    calls a function module (RFC call) in system B. In system B the Adobe form is generated and shown in the SAPGUI. Due to some unknown reason after some
    time the users get a short dump "connection closed". In order to avoid the short dump I would like to change the current logic in the following way: the
    ABAP report still runs in system A, the Adobe form is still created in system B but not shown in the SAPGUI anymore but in an Adobe Acrobat Reader window.
    The SAP session in the meantime would jump back to system A (to avoid the dump) and the Adobe windown/session would remain open.
    How could such a system behaviour be achieved?
    Thanks and regards, Michael

    Hi Michael,
    I don't know whether this solution will work  or not in your case. But still you can try this:
    In Adobe Acrobat reader go to Menu->Edit->Preferences. In this pop-up select Internet, Here you will see a checkbox "Display PDF in browser". Uncheck this checkbox.
    Hope it will open the form in Acrobat instead of SAP GUI.
    Regards,
    Vaibhav

  • USING FORM BUTTONS IN ADOBE ACROBAT/READER

    Hello, I am using Adobe Acrobat Std XI to create a form that Adobe Readers will be filling in.  Everything works in the form except for the button I inserted to allow the user to reset/clear the form. The button works fine in Acrobat but it is no working in Reader.  I have tried saving the file as Reader Extended version, I have tried the file protected and not protected and I cannot get the button to work in Reader. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong or is this simply because I'm working with Acrobat XI Standard and not Pro?
    Thank you.

    https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=YuA1xQM5o4S6TNxuP1PjCw
    Hopefully the above link will work for you.  I just tested it and it seems to work fine.  The reset button is on the second page of the form.
    Thank you both, I really appreciate your time and help with this.

  • Forms Central with Adobe Acrobat ProX

    I signed up for Adobe Acrobat ProX because I read that it included a subscription to Forms Central. Now Form Central is asking me for a paid subscription. Am I missing something?

    The next version of Acrobat (XI) has a FormsCentral desktop application bundled with it- We just announced it on Monday and it hasn't shipped yet. You can use the FC desktop app (without paying for the online service) to create an unlimited number of PDF forms (without a submit button). You can move those forms online and take advantage of the FormsCentral online features. When  you do this you can use the free account (1 online form with 50 responses) or pay for a more functional account.

  • Issues with forms created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    Hey Gang,
    I need your help to figure out why my interactive form text fields that were created in Acrobat turn black when clicked and don't display text when typed into. The text that is being typed is there, but it is not visible until you select the next text field. Also the solid black bar goes away as well when you select a new text field on the form. By the way it might be important to note that my interactive PDF started as a SWF file before being exported as a PDF. Either way the form fields were created in Acrobat Pro XI. Thanks for any help.

    The font is set to Helvetica 12pt. I have been messing around with the form and have noticed that if I click edit form and then click done editing. The form will function properly until I click anywhere other than a text field.

  • Format Date Form Field in Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Thanks in advance for your help. I have date fields in an Acrobat form. Is it possible to create a script to format a date as either MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY? In other words, if someone enters MM/DD/YYYY, the date would be accepted and MM/DD/YY would also be accepted. Thanks, again.

    Since the time measurement is based on a sattilite revolving around another object in space, much of the concepts and measurements apply to rocket science. But I do not know if all rocket scientist woudl get it. Wasn't there a sattilite that mixed miles and kilometers within the navigation program with a suprising result.
    One needs to get to a common unit and then just do the math.
    Actually JavaScript does have an adjustment for the Date.getYear if the date object is established with the 4 digit year.
    I had a recent issue at work. I work from the U.S and have to access data on a server in the UK using Remote Desktop and the remote deskto is configured for the UK date format unless the user changes it. In prior years the data was processed on servers in the U.S. with U.S. date format. There were many instances when the date and month were swithed and requires over a month to fix.
