How to display HTML response file in user's browser following submission of Livecycle form

I have a PDF form created via Livecycle that does a HTTP submit to the webserver. The server returns a HTML 'submission receipt' page which is either opened in Acrobat or the user's web browser.
Previously this process worked fine when submitting from adobe reader - the html receipt file would always automatically open OK in the user's browser. However, with newer versions of Reader (11.0.0+) I now get this error and no attempt to open the user's web browser:
An error occurred during the submit process. Cannot process content of type text/html
I realise why I get the error - Adobe reader can't display HTML files.
What I don't understand is why it doesn't open the html file in the user's browser like it has been doing for years.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this (without changing the response content type to PDF/FDF)?

I had the same issue as you and we used FDF status, then eventually went with returning an XDP  that filled out a receipt section of the form.

  • How to display a pdf file in jsp

    hi,
    How to display a pdf file in jsp iam having a class which will return fileinputstream of the file object. the pdf file is in server.
    regards
    Arul

    A JSP is a combo of HTML and Java, so you can't really "display" a PDF file in a JSP.
    You can provider a href link to the PDF file in your JSP.
    You can use some utility package to read the contents of the PDF, pull certain things out of it, and display that in your JSP as html
    In a servlet you can set the content type to application/pdf and write the binary data of the PDF back to the browser. Once the browser finishes reading in the data it should open the PDF.

  • How to create a response file for Acrobat 9 Pro?

    I with to collect data from a PDF form made with LiveCycle Designer. The instruction say-
    After a user submits a form, open the returned form.
    In the Add Completed Form To Responses File dialog box, select one of the following:
    I am totally baffled as to where the Add Completed From to Responses File dialog box is. I cannot find such a thing.
    It is my understanding that once the dialog box found there are options, including creating a new response file. But, I can't find the box (and neither can my associates).
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    In Acrobat 9 Help look under 'Collecting and managing form data' and the other topics under this heading. It is in the "Forms" chapter.
    Collecting and managing form data
    When you distribute a form, Acrobat automatically creates a PDF Portfolio for collecting the data submitted by users. By default, this file is saved in the same folder as the original form and is named  
    filename_responses. You can use this file to compile returned forms.
    Collect user data
    1 After a user submits a form, open the returned form.
    2 In the Add Completed Form To Responses File dialog box, select one of the following:
    Add To An Existing Responses File
    Compiles the data in the response file that was created when you used the Distribute Form wizard to send out the form. (If necessary, click Browse and locate the response file.)
    Create A New Responses File
    Creates a new response file, using the name and location you specify.
    The response file opens after you click OK. Each returned form added to the response file appears as a component file of a PDF Portfolio.
    Compile form data
    1 In Acrobat, choose Forms > Compile Returned Forms.
    2 In the Compile Data dialog box, do one of the following to select a PDF response file:
    Click Browse, and then locate and select the response file.
    Type the path to the response file.
    3 Click Add File, and navigate to the returned form.
    4 Repeat the previous step as many times as necessary to add more returned forms. 
    After you click OK, the data from the selected forms is added to the response file. Each returned form appears as a component file of a PDF Portfolio.
    Add user data to an existing response file
    1 In Acrobat, open the response file.
    2 In the left navigation panel, click Add.
    3 In the Add Returned Forms dialog box, click Add File. Then locate and select the returned forms, and click Open.
    4 Repeat the previous step to add any returned forms in other folders. When finished, click OK. 
    When you finish, each added PDF form appears as a component file of the PDF Portfolio.
    Export user data from a response file
    Use this process to save all the entries in a PDF Portfolio response file to a spreadsheet or XML file.
    1 In Acrobat, open the response file and select the data to export
    2 In the left navigation panel, click Export.
    3 In the Select Folder To Save File dialog box, specify a name, location, and file format (CSV or XML) for the form data, and click Save.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
    I have the main html file and all other files needed by the main file in one directory on the application layer of SAP. I'd like to provide the user with a link, by clicking on which they should be able to get to the main html file using the browser. This is just a standalone application.
    I can try the approach using BSPs, however, I'm new to that area. Could you point me in the right direction to get started?

  • How to display HTML file in forms 6i

    please can any one tell me how i can display normal HTML file in forms 6i
    this HTML file will be called from help menu.
    thanks in advance

    If you're fine with opening html file in a separate browser window, you can use web.show_document.
    But if you have to see html inside Form, one of the solution may be use embeded browser. for detail goto http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-1890238.html

  • How to display HTML file from Unix server on UI at runtime

    Hi Experts,
    My requirement is to display  HTML files,  related to some particular person, on UI. The file is existing on a separate UNIX server and a file related to one person may have a lot of attached files as well , as is the case generally with HTML files, including pictures etc. So it is no use transferring file on my CRM system, as the files are kept separately on this UNIX server which is particularly for this kind of storage.
    I am able to show files residing on MIME repository ( I created some new HTML files )  of my CRM system on UI. but I don't know how to go ahead with this particular requirement.
    One idea is that I can map one folder of my application server to that unix server so that I can see the HTML files in this particular folder. but I don't know how to map MIME repository folder to application server directory or directly to the UNIX server .
    Please advise. Is my approach correct or is there any other way ?
    thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vikas

    Maybe this is too simple, but have you got an HTTP server on the UNIX machine? You could simply link the URL into you CRM application and display the contents directly from UNIX.
    cheers Carsten

    Hi Team,
    We have a requirement to display HTML content which is in tabular format on a page. This page is jspx page based on page template and this html has to be shown on a radio button select. I am trying to do this with Jquery but since the id of all components in jspx comes as pt1:id (pt1 being the id of page template) and : being a special character in Jquery, I am not able to proceed further.
    the syntax of Jquery to load html file a POC has been done outside Jdeveloper is working fine with a general syntax of
    $("#selector".load("html path"));
    Please let me know is they any other solution to load the file?
    Thanks

    For example
    - (void)viewDidLoad {

        [infoWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:fileURL]];

  • How to save html response when execute a siebel load test.

    First at all excusme for my english.
    I need help to manage html response. I use OpenScript Version: 9.3.1.0 Production.
    When i execute a siebel load test, some of the VU returns the error "12152 the server response could not be parsed". Mi boss asked me an image or html response to analize the error. But i dont now how to get it.
    I search in all logs but i didn´t find nothing usefull.
    Anyone know how to save the html response when execute a load test?
    Thanks.
    Gabriel.

    "First at all excusme for my english."
    => are you french? I am! So no problem of course ;-)
    Which ATS version do you use? Because starting with 12.1, you have a better VU Logging capabilities.
    From the OLT user guide:
    The virtual user logs window has the following toolbar options:
    Open - Opens an existing virtual user log.
    Save as CSV - Exports the current VU log to a comma-separated value file.
    Clear - Clears the virtual user logs.
    View Text - Displays the source HTML for pages accessed by the virtual user.
    Render HTML - Displays actual pages as accessed by the virtual user.
    Auto Display - Displays pages as they are received by the viewer.
    See if it can help.
    If not, maybe you could implement some logics in OpenScript, but i wouldn' advice that.

    Hi Ashish,
    If I have understood your requirement properly, u want to
    display html text on a flex application.
    I think there its better if you use the html component to
    display the text. I have a sample code which will give you a
    direction to think on.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application
    xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="vertical"
    creationComplete="initApp( )">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    public function initApp( ):void
    var initHtml:String = "<html><head> \
    <title='Page Example'/> \
    <body bgcolor='#ccddee'><h1>Page
    Example</h1> \
    <p>This is a complete <b>HTML</b> \
    page as a
    <em>string</em>.</p></html></body>";
    this.html.htmlText = initHtml;
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:HTML id="html" width="100%" height="100%" />

  • How to display html document in browser?

    I know that AppletContext can display html, but it has to be in URL.
    How about a document in my directory?
    Help please.

    just specify the path, i.e. c:\my files\myDocument.html
    or
    file:///myfiles/myDocument.html
    Of course, I use IE, so Netscape might not like it. but this works for IE.
