ID CS6 Form Submit not working in Adobe Reader

Hardware = Mac 8Core OSX 10.7.5 | Software = InDesign CS6 vs 8.01
I'm having ongoing frustrations with the ID Cs6 Forms. The interactive form Submit button works on my machine's Adobe Acrobat Pro, but not on machines using Adobe Reader (I've given up on it working in Apple Preview). It has worked on one other mac machine, again it was Adobe Acrobat pro 9.1.1. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance: Justin

You need to enable that in Acrobat Pro.

  • Javascript not working in Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    I have given the following javascript code in the "Will Save" Document Action. But this code does not execute in Adobe Reader, it works fine in Acrobat Standard/Pro. Why this code does not execute in Reader?
    app.alert("Hi");
    if(app.viewerVersion<8){
    app.alert("Exit");
    this.closeDoc(true);
    Cheers,
    Vinay

    Yes the javascript is enabled.
    The alert comes up in Acrobat Pro when I use the 'Save' or 'Save a Copy option'.  When I use the 'Save a Copy' option in Adobe reader, the alert does not come up.
    Cheers,

  • Fillable Form will not print from Adobe Reader on iPad or iPhone - Works on a PC

    I created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  I saved it giving it full Adobe Reader capabilities.  I emailed it to myself and a friend so that we could open it up on our iPad and iPhone using Adobe Reader, fill in the information and then print the document.   When we send to print, it only prints the form, but not anything we entered.     When I opened the document in Adobe Reader on my Dell PC, it worked fine and I could print the document including everything that I entered.    What could the glitch be with iPad and iPhone.  We are running the latest IOS6 version with Adobe Reader  installed.  Why won't this work?

    It should work with the update to Reader 10.4. "Enhaned compatibility with AirPrint means improved printing of completed forms as well as documents with comments."
    I don't have AirPrint on my printer to test. Is your printer AirPrint compatible?
    I can get it to work with Printer Pro which I'm running on my iPad.

  • Form submit not working even with usage rights enabled

    Hi everyone,
    I created a form in Acrobat 7 professional (mac version), then used Acrobat 8 (windows version) to enable usage rights.
    I have the following javascript code attached to a submit button:
    this.mailForm(true, "[email protected]", "", "", "RSVP", "Yes! Please register me.");
    When I test the form in the full version of Acrobat by pressing the submit button, it automatically launches my email program, attaches the form's .fdf file and addresses the email, ie. just as the code directs. The problem is that when I try and test in either Acrobat 7 or 8 Reader, it won't work, ie. I press the submit button but the email program doesn't open etc. As I said, I've already enabled usage rights in Acrobat 8 so I don't know why it's not working.
    Can someone tell me what might be going wrong?
    Appreciate any help offered.

    pjones, Tembowa is correct.
    if you look up the mailForm in the JavaScript reference guide, you see it's marked with the letter 'F', meaning that the PDF requires Form rights in order for this method to work in Reader.
    Now as you rightly say you can use Acrobat 8 pro to extend a PDF with usage or Save rights. (These will be marked by the letter 'S' in the JS reference guide.)
    In short when you enable a PDF in Acrobat pro, you 'only' assign Save rights. This is not sufficient for the mailForm method to function in the free Reader.
    For mailForm to work in the reader you need to assign a PDF with form rights, which can only be done using LC Reader extensions.
    Hope this clarifies things.

  • Form will not open with adobe reader when using chrome and mozilla

    The form opens fine in internet explorer, but when opened with chrome and mozilla it says that parts of the document could not be displayed and the 'submit form' and 'print' functions do not work? how do I get it so that the forms open with adobe reader as a pdf automatically instead of opening in another search engine tab?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Chrome and Firefox use their default PDF viewers instead of Adobe Acrobat / Reader and hence most PDFs will not be fully functional in those.
    For that you just need to change the settings :-

  • Tool Button Not Working in Adobe Reader 9

    Hello,
    I have a custom tool button - folder level script (with a trusted function) to digitally sign a drawing template.
    The tool button works in Reader 8 and Reader X, but is not working in Reader 9.
    The error message is shown "Not Allowed Error: Security settings prevent access to this property or method".
    Can any one please advise why this would not work in Reader 9 when the tool buttons work in other versions of Adobe Reader?
    Thank you.

    Adobe changes JS with every major release, check the Acrobat JS API Reference to see what has changed with regard to your code.
    Without seeing your code, there is no way tell what is going on. Also check the preferences to see if there is an option that needs to be checked to allow your script to work.
    Since Reader X works and it is free, why not upgrade?

  • International Characters in PDF Forms are not shown correctly (Adobe Reader 11.0.06)

    I have a PDF form served from a web application and shown in Internet Explorer and want to put in string values with norwegian letter like 'ÅRE ØRE ÆRE'.
    These are not shwon correctly when I toggle "Highlight Existing Fields" and the focus is not on the text field in question.
    I am runing on Windows 7.

    I cannot reproduce this using a test form I created: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/e6b390e1-625c-4f59-86c5-c2ca07998279
    Does the same thing happen with the form above?  If not, can you share your form with us: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

  • The "Adobe Reader 11.0.08 security update - All languages" is not working with "Adobe Reader 11.0 - Multilingual (MUI) installer" using msiexec when creating an msi package. is there going to be a release of Adobe Reader 11.0.08 update - Multilingual (MUI

    Is it possible to create an msi package if the product you are upgrading is Multilingual (MUI) and the update(msp) you are applying is not Multilingual (MUI) but "All languages"?

    Please download the latest Adobe Reader patch from the below mentioned location, it will work with MUI installer.

  • AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

    AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
    The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
    Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
    BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

  • Print not working in Adobe Reader 11.0.07.

    It does not acknowledge that I have clicked the “print” button in the program. Control   P also has no response. Therefore, I cannot even look at printer settings. I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a few times. Admin settings allow me to print PDF’s. Printer is an HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP. All other programs are able to print. Only Adobe Reader is not working. Any ideas?

    Have you tried these suggestions on the HP site? Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader | HP® Support
    I didn't notice where they may have said to be sure you have the very latest print drivers installed but, you should install them if you haven't already.

  • Dynamic pdf created in adobe 8 not working in Adobe reader 9

    Hi ,
    I designed dynamic pdf using Adobe 8 livecylce.
    I am able to generate the dynamic pdf with values filled in from the database in Adobe 8 reader,standard and professional versions.
    I recently installed Adobe 9 reader and when I try to generate the dynamic pdf , the pdf if generated but the values of the fields comes as null.
    Is dynamic pdfs created in 8 not compatable with adobe 9 reader? Do I need to redesign the documents in 9 again ?
    Please let me know, I designed a lot of pdf documents using 8 livecycle under the assumption that it is going to work in future versions.
    Thanks,
    Vidya

    Hi,
    I figured our there was a setting to enable/disable  Javascript which caused this issue.
    I was using javascript in the LC 8 for manipulations in the dynamic pdfs.
    I enabled the javascript and now it is working fine.
    Thanks,
    Vidya

  • Search/ find Text function not working in Adobe Reader

    I am having problem with text search in Adobe reader latest version 9.3.
    One pdf file generated through a pdf printer inside a word processing program and has around 100 pages. So there is no issue of having a scanned document which is not searchable.
    In this document, when I try to search the text inside the pdf file using Adobe Reader 9.0, it is working alright and it is recognising the text searched for.
    However, When the same pdf file is searched using Adobe Reader 9.3 and 9.4 etc it is not searching the text which is present at more than five places in the document.
    Please advise.

    Scanned PDFs that have not had OCR performed will just contain an image of text, so they cannot be searched. Other files may have messed up fonts. Without looking at eachc particular document, it's hard to say what's wrong.
