Help: RenderAtClient vs different Acrobat Reader versions

Hi,
I'm used to LC 7.2, Designer 7.0 and Reader 7.x and they all work fine initially. After Reader 8.x on some client PCs were introduced, the following conflict is encountered:
If I turn on RenderAtClient=true/auto and viewed by Reader 8.1, the layout of the resultant PDFForm becomes a mess; possibly this is due to the fact that my templates are developed using Designer/Professional 7.
If I turn on RenderAtClient=false, the above mess layout can be resolved but some of the client-side javascripts do not work properly, e.g. cannot hide/show sub-forms and form objects interactively.
I have hundreds of these forms built by Designer 7 and therefore it is not possible to redevelop within a reasonable time. Appreciated when somebody could offer help. Thanks so much.
Keith

It cannot be a problem of the installation, because at least Windows 7
was a fresh install with nothing but Reader additionally installed.
By the way, what do you mean by "risky", I followed straight the
documentation from Adobe, where one is allowed to place function calls
requiring a privileged context.
Have you any better idea where to place the call to save? It must be
called automatically, when the User closes the window, no additional
interaction is possible.
One other thing is the call to exportXFAData, have you any idea why
there is a difference in behavior between reader version 7 / 10 and 9?
I wrote that in version 9 the user entered data is missing.

Sorry, I don't have any ideas except for trying to repair the installation

However, placing code in the WillClose event is considered risky and should
be avoided if there are alternatives available.

  • Checking acrobat reader version on client system.

    Hi,

    okay,
    basically its handled at activex level true, but being a java programmer one should have come across any such problem.

  • Program Workspace for Specific Acrobat Reader Version

    I am using LC ES 8.0.
    Is there a way to program Workspace to use a specific version of Reader? I want it to open Acrobat Reader version 8 or higher.
    We have a few problems with some other older software that several hundred users are using and it requires them to use Acrobat Standard v6. I want to push Reader 8 to everyone and can specify that Standard or Pro are default if available but I want to make Workspace specifically use Reader version 8 or higher.
    Does anyone know if this can be done programatically in Workspace?
    Thanks,
    John

    Once way to do it is if the process you are invoking uses the Render PDF Form, or a custom Render process that includes the renderPDFForm operation (from the Forms service), you can change a setting using the Acrobat Version property to Acrobat and Adobe Reader 8 or later.
    You can get more details about the renderPDFForm operation and the Acrobat Version property at http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/000614.html.
    Hope that helps!

  • Error:  Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8 or 9 is required.

    I have windows XP and I recently installed a 9 version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Since then a receive the following error message: "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."  I had installed the 9 version.  Any idea why this is happening or more importantly, what should I do to fix it?

    You should ask the question in the relevant Acrobat or Reader forum:

  • Does OSX do "backward compatibility to Acrobat Reader version 6"?

    I need to prepare a PDF file from my Pages document, and it required to provide "backward compatibility to Acrobat Reader version 6." Apparently this is something Acrobat Distiller can do but I don't have that app. How can I get Pages to make such a PDF file, or how can I convert the one Pages makes to that format? (I looked at ColorSync Utility but didn't see anything relevant among its PDF filters.)
    Quick advice would be very much appreciated!

    You have to use cmd + P when creating PDF files from Pages with this new option.

  • Acrobat Reader Version 9

    Acrobat Reader Version 9 をインストールしたのですが、ＰＤＦファイルを開こうとすると「使用許諾契約書」が出て来て、「同意する」をクリックしないと先に進めなくなります。しかしながら、その「同意する」というボ タンはどこにも見当たらず、以下のフレーズのみで契約書は終わってしまいます。
    「Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-ja_JP-20080204_1313」
    これはどういうことでしょうか？
    そもそも、ダウンロードする前に同じ「使用許諾契約書」は画面上で確認しておりますし、なぜまた出てくるのか不明です。
    ＯＳはウィンドウズXPで、ダウンロードは問題なく出来ています。回答お待ちしています。

    ＞ Acrobat Reader Version 9
    件名は投稿内容を的確に表したものにすべきですよ。
    これでは、Adobe Reader 9に関する問題はすべて「Acrobat Reader Version 9」という件名にして良いことになり、大いに混乱しますね。
    それから「Adobe Reader 9」です。Ver 6.0からAcrobat ReaderからAdobe Readerに名前が変わっています。
    ＞ 回答お待ちしています。
    勘違いしているかもしれないので、念のために一言。
    ここはAdobeサイト内にはありますが、あくまでもユーザフォーラムであってサポートセンターではありません。
    ＞ 「使用許諾契約書」が出て来て、「同意する」をクリックしないと先に進めなくなります。
    ＞ その「同意する」というボタンはどこにも見当たらず、
    「同意する」ボタンは見当たらないのに、クリックしないと先に進めないというのは変では？ これまでボタンをクリックしたことがあるかのように思える文章ですが？
    ＞ ＰＤＦファイルを開こうとすると
    PDF文書ではなく、Adobe Reader単体を起動した場合はどうなのですか？
    開こうとしているPDF文書の作成者に問題発生のことは連絡しましたか？
    ＞ 以下のフレーズのみで契約書は終わってしまいます。
    ＞ 「Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-ja_JP-20080204_1313」
    「1. 定義。」「2. ソフトウェアのライセンス。」といったものも無いのでしょうか？
    もしかしてインストールしたのはAdobe AIRのほうではありませんか？
    下記リンクのAdobe AIR使用許諾書（PDF文書）の日本語部分に（117ページめの最後）、「Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-ja_JP-20080204_1313」とありますね。

  • Acrobat Reader Versions and saveAs, exportXFAdata Problems

    We use generate Forms with Reader Extension Save enabled.
    The forms are then opened within Acrobat Reader. In the onClose Event a Script called "saveXMLData" is called. This script is install in the javascript folder of the reader installation.
    The script :
    var saveXMLData = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)
         app.beginPriv();
         doc.saveAs({cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.pdf",
              bCopy: true,
              bPromptToOverwrite: false });
         doc.exportXFAData({
              cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.xml",
              bXDP:false
         app.endPriv();
         return;
    Using Acrobat Reader 7, eveything worked fine.
    Using Acrobat Reader 9 "saveAs" crashes the Application after the document is saved and the filled in Data is not saved.
    Without the saveAs function, at least the export File is generate but the data that where filled in are missing.
    Using Acrobat Reader X "saveAs" crashes the Application as well. Leavin out the saveAs function, the export File is generated as expected. Thus the filled in data values are saved.
    Using Acrobat X Pro everything works as with Acrobat Reader 7.
    Our Problem is that the customer uses Acrobat Reader 9. Are there expected incompatibilities with the different versions. Does anybody know any workarounds, settings?
    By the way disabling extended security does not help.
    Thanks

  • Barcode size problem in different adobe reader versions

    Hi,
    In one of my requirements of Adobe form, I am displaying barcode for a value. The problem is of size of barcode which varies on different machines based on Adobe Reader version.
    On one machine 'Adobe Reader' version 9.4.0 is installed and on other machine 'Adobe Reader X' version 10.0.1 is installed. The barcode is displayed in correct size in version 10.0.1 while only half barcode is displayed in version 9.4.0 when value of the property 'Data length' is set to 10 (which is default).
    If I set the value of same property to 26 in order to fit the barcode in specified space in version 9.4.0, same barcode is displayed in half size in version 10.0.1.
    Kindly give suggestions.
    Regards.

    You cannot use Reader X until it has been installed. Installing means that the appropriate configuration has been entered into the Windows Registry. Copying a folder from another computer doesn't achieve that goal.
    Here's what I suggest you do now.
    Run this Microsoft fix first of all: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Uninstall via Reader via Add/Remove Programs
    Download and install Reader X from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
    P.S. There are some programs which are so called 'Standalone' apps. That means that the executable will run without using a system's processes. But Adobe Reader isn't one of them.

  • [Developer] How to RELIABLY get Acrobat Reader Version info from registry

    (Using Wise Installation system 9.02)
    First, we get the path from here:
    SOFTWARE\Classes\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    if it is not found, we get it from here:
    SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\AcroRD32.exe\shell\Read\command
    and if it is still not found, we get it from here:
    SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AcroRd32.exe
    Then we check the version info for the file AcroRd32.exe that is
    located in one of those directories and compare it to the version
    we are installing; if it is less, we install the version included
    in our setup package.
    Now, is this the most RELIABLE way to do this?
    Should we just search for the file and get it's version info?
    What if you have > 1 version of Reader installed?
    What if you have Full Acrobat installed?
    Is there also a way for Reader installation to NOT change the
    PDF file association from Full Acrobat?

    If you look at our current process, you'll see that we are checking
    for multiple versions. However, there have been times when our version
    installed over a later version and we cannot understand why this
    happened that is why I'm addressing this here to see if anyone had
    any "fool-proof" way to do it.
    I know I can also check the PDF association but it may be set to Acrobat
    and we do not want to modify that. We just want to check the latest
    version of Reader they have installed against the one we have in our
    package.

  • PEASE HELP Can't install Acrobat reader pro

    I had a free copy of acrobat pro that ran out and I bought the creative suite that includes it from the school bookstore. I'm trying to install it and it won't install the whole program, but just updates the old free trial. Then when I open it it tells me it has expired and wants the serial number before I can use it. So I type in the serial number the company gave me when when I bought my software but it says it is invalid. I need to hand in an important assignment in school using the adobe pro and I'm at a loss as to what to do.

    Hi, I have similar situation here.
    Basically, I have problem with the version Arcobat Pro Extend Trial version.
    I have been using version 4 pro for a long time, and interested to find out what the main difference between the pro and the extend version.
    Unfortunately, my system crashed during the installation, the installer was copying files to the system. After I did a reset/restart the system, I try the installing again. I would not let me install. It would stop on the screen which ask me to install as trial or enter s/n. When I click trial, it would not response, as if I didn't click it.
    I tried the Windows installer cleaner, it didn't work.
    Thanks for John T Smith's hint, the Clean Script to Remove Adobe CS3, link. After I ran it, it allows me to install again.
    a lot of thanks

  • 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!
