I have a pdf form created in Live Cycle Designer, that submits on a PC and not a Mac
I created a Fillable form in LiveCycle designer. It has a submit button that submits to a php script that save the filled form to the server. It works fine on a PC in both Firefox and IE, but on Firefox it opens Acrobat and I get a file not found error when I hit the submit button.
Any suggestions on why this happens and how to fix it?
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?

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue
Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wmjqzwyriovg9vi/Adobe%20Error.pdfYou're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

I have a online form created with my paid account that has just stopped working.
I have a online form created with my paid account that has been working for months that just started displaying a message that starts "This form was easily created for FREE with FormsCentral. See how..." The inline frame that it shows up in has also changed to be very small. The form is set to open in FormsCentral and shows the message and inline frame size when I choose preview. What's up?
Checked when I got back in to work today and everything is working as it should. All of our online forms were screwed up yesterday, but are working this morning. I know this won't help anyone in the future, but just wanted to follow-up.

Fdf format should work with pdf's made with Live Cycle Designer!!!
using: Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0; Windows XP.
I have need to take data from a SQL database and display that data on various forms that were created by a city Agency, the DOB. Some of the forms were created using Adobe Acrobat version 6. For those forms I am able to create an .fdf file and open the associated pdf by using a run statement in my prorgramming language. This is very nice. The fdf format is easy to recreate, and the run statement opens the pdf with the data displayed automatically, WHICH IS MY DESIRED END RESULT!!! Users click a button in my program, they get a form with the data on it.
Now the DOB has created new PDF forms that were made using Live Cycle Designer. Much to my suprise, documents create by the designer cannot handle the fdf data format, just xml. This is a real problem for someone trying automatically populate a pdf from data collected not using the form itself. The xml data format cannot automatically open the document and populate the form data the way the fdf does. I spoke with tech support and they had no answer for me but to recreate the forms. That will take me days.
It is hard for me to understand why you would create a tool such as Live Cycle Designer that prevents a user such as I from using all of the features of your Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 product. Very suprising.You might ask about this in the regular forum. There are several form experts there that may be able to help you.

XML error when invoking a form created by live cycle
I have created a pdf form with Live Cycle Designer 8.0. When I open the pdf document in the firefox browser, in many times I get an error message: XML analys error. This does not happen with Internet Explorer. Is there anything I can set in Live Cycle Designer in order to avoid that error message?
The pdf-form can be found by the link http://www.filmscanner.info/SchulungAnmeldung04.pdf.

Can you please give step by step instuctions to follow to upload a file to the webserver through PDF form?

ArunaHi,
I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
Check this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
Points that you can note:
1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end. -
How do i create a form in live cycle E4 that i can save as a PDF that the user cannot save over?
You can't. If the file is made read-only via the file system, the user will prompted to save as a new file if they attempt to save.

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.
Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.
To download Adobe Reader
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
You can purchase Adobe Acrobat

Is it possible to have a PDF form flow to a second page IF the user needs to type in a lot of information? ( Like a Word Doc would)
An automated second page.There are two approaches.
If you wish to use AcroForm technology, then you would need to write a bunch of JavaScript to enable this. It has been done, but it’s not trivial.
If you wish to use XFA technology, then it can be setup to happen automatically.
Be aware that in both cases, even though both technologies are part of the PDF standard, that the forms will only be usable in this manner in Adobe’s viewers as many others don’t support JavaScript or XFA. -
Can't create a multiple file PDF from PDF forms created in Designer
Hi
I want to create a single PDF which combines 6 pdf forms created in Adobe Designer (all as separate pages).
When I try to create a single PDF from these multiple files using the "Create a PDF from Multiple files" command, my A-3D won't let me do this returning a dialog box saying
"The file "filename.pdf" is protected. It cannot be used for this command".
I can't find any properties that control this, either in the original file or in A-3D. Can I overcome this and how?
Many thanks in anticipation.
PhilDesigner-created files aren't really PDF files any more and cannot be
edited or combined in Acrobat (including Acrobat 3D). You CAN make a
package of them, however, in Combine Files.
