How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

  • Is Adobe reader touch for windows 8 support interactive PDF files with multi media contents like SWF

    I have many PDF files with SWF content i try Adobe reader X but it is slow, so i try Adobe reader touch for windows 8 but the SWF doesn't work.

    The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
    Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
    If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

  • The new Adobe Reader has lost many of my files.

    The new Adobe Reader has lost many of my files.

    Hello Doug,
    Updating from Reader to Acrobat should not have deleted anything from your device. This was just another update that changed the name and icon, and added some new features for Acrobat DC Pro subscribers. Everything else for our Reader users should have remained the same.
    I have a couple of questions:
    Were you logged in to Acrobat.com, and were your files stored on Acrobat.com? If so, you may need to ensure that you log in to Document Cloud (the new name for Acrobat.com) to see the files.
    Did you delete Reader from your device before installing the new Acrobat app? If so, unfortunately when you delete an app iOS deletes all of the local storage that app uses. For iOS to keep your files around, you need to just let iOS Update, rather than our users deleting and installing fresh. If this is what happened, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to retrieve your files.

    Hey vgamborg,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    This article should help you troubleshoot issues playing sound from the built-in speakers. Try the steps listed, and I quoted a part about the red light.

  • Reading PDF in large screen mobile phone is often the horizontal screen reading,but the new adobe reader for Android mobile phone needs to be set to automatically turn screen, this is very inconvenient.

  • Can I hide the Adobe Reader panel with "Export, Create and Edit PDF and Send and Store Files"? I don't use it and it takes up space

    If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.

  • I am unable to restore from iCloud backup because the new phone has iOS 8.1.2 and the old phone has iOS 8.2? Any help.

    I Have just bought an iPhone 6 and want to restore my iPhone 4s via iCloud backup to the new iPhone 6. The setup of the iPhone 6 halted because according to the new phone it has iOS 8.1.2 whereas the backups were stored using iOS 8.2 following my updating of the iPhone 4S recently. How do I jump through this hoop? How do I update the new phone to iOS 8.2 without serring it up first? Anyone, please help?

    Update the new phone to the same version that has been used to create the backup. In your case, the new device has to run 8.2 to be able to use the backup made with the other device.
    Setting it back to factory settings will install the newest version and after that you can use the backup made under 8.2

  • I recently updated to the new adobe flash 10.3.181.26 and since then I have not been able to listen to any videos online especially youtube videos. Though I can still see the videos I can't hear them.

    I've tried multiple times checking the settings with flash and I've checked and unchecked "hardware acceleration" and I've cleared my cache and cookies multiple of times. I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash many times to but still I have this issue. My computer alone plays music just fine only through flash videos do I have a problem

    Hi X-Calibar, thanks for your comments. Yes, there are 4 zones under Internet Options and security settings. IE9 from what I have read has more security features than IE7/IE8 had. It appears this Server verification involves status of the Certificate that the website has as well as the Server that is using it. From what I've read on the IE9 sites, Microsoft states that if any HTTP sites are in the Trusted Zone, that the Server Verification is to be UNchecked.
    When you go to add a site to the Trusted Sites zone, it by default only accepts HTTPS sites.
    I would think that would only be if you had the SV box checked, that's what I find with IE8.

    I think you and I may be saying the same thing, just in a different way:-) Not using IE9, I don't know how all of the new features work. My concern is mainly limited to any feature that conflicts or effects Flash Player. Just as the ActiveX Filtering. That certainly effects Flash Player, so that is on my radar:-)
    Hopefully, Chris Campbell will clarify some of this:-)

  • Designing for print, tablets and interactive pdfs at the same time

    Hi everyone,
    I have a large document of proposal master pages that I would like to update with CS6. My usual work flow, when I need to make a new proposal, is to open a new document and just move over the master pages I need. This depends on which products they want, etc. Then I override the master pages in the new document and make whatever customizations I need for that particular customer.
    Now with CS6, I'm thinking that I will just have the pages be pages (with fewer masters). I will make an alternate layout directed at each market segment we have, and also these pages for tablets and interactive PDFs. (Sometimes we are asked to provide a digital copy of proposals). Then, when I have a new proposal to do, I will do a Save As and make a copy of the main doc. Then I will just delete all the pages and the alternate layouts I don't need.
    A few questions:
    1. How do I set up my "intent." Most of these master pages are two pages, so I think the digital publishing intent messes that up.
    2. Do you think this new set up would make the file huge? I have had size issues in the past and the file is already very sluggish.
    3. Is this the best way to go about this work flow?
    Thank you guys so much. This forum has been so helpful to me!

  • Our IT guy installed the new Adobe reader on my machine, but FF isn't picking it up and I don't have admin privileges to install it as a plug-in.

    I just need to know how to get FF to "pick up" the new version of Acrobat Reader that is already on my computer. I got a new work computer, and don't have admin privileges to install AR as a plug-in on FF. The new version is fully installed -- just not in FF. I'm running Win7 and FF 18.0.1.
    Thanks for the help!

    Firefox should find the Adobe Acrobat plugin through a registry scan, which probably runs at startup.
    I notice in your "More system details" list you have this, which sounds promising:
    Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.01
    If you check the following tab, is it enabled?
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    If it's enabled, is the problem that Firefox still wants to launch PDFs externally? If so, you might need to change a setting here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box on that tab, type pdf and pause while the list is filtered. You normally get two or more entries and there are drop-down boxes on the right side to choose how to open them. Does that work?

  • How good are the new skins?? (anyone has one?)

    Ive seen the new ipod skins that you stick on but i am confused
    could someone please tell me what they are and anyone who has one are they good protection???
    thanks
    Ganjerson

    They are thin pieces of flexible plastic that have a light adhesive on one side. You basically stick it on your iPod like a sticker. These types of things are often used to protect PDA screens. I believe that was the original use for these types of products.
    I use these on both my regular iPod and now my nano. I like these better than a case as they don't add to the size of the iPod and most people won't even notice they are even on there (as long as you are careful when applying it). They don't offer any kind of protection from falling, but they offer scratch protection. Another nice thing is that you can still use things like the dock with these protectors on.
