IOS library to open fillable PDF

I need a library/api for iOS to open and fill fields inside an app (no an app-to-app but everything inside the app). Does Adobe has something similar for this purpose? Thanks

Adobe makes Reader Mobile SDK (a.k.a. RMSDK) available through resellers. But it's not free.

I do not believe that it supports form filling. You may want to contact the resellers listed in the page above and ask questions.

PDF viewer can't open fillable pdf.

Hi,
I was working on a fillable pdf yesterday and it was fine. When I want to open it now, file will not open and I get a message that I need to upgrade to latest version, which I have done already. As a reference I am working with a Mac. Any idea what could the problem be? Thanks!!

Hi Jorge ,
What version of Acrobat are you using currently?
What exact OS it is?
I wonder it should be compatible with your updated Acrobat version .
Try Repairing your Acrobat once and see if that fixes the issue.
Launch Acrobat>Navigate to help>Check for Updates.

Can't open fillable pdf.

Some years ago, the company that produced business forms for me also made me a fillable pdf proposal form, which I fill out, print and send to client. Never was able to save info, but that was not an issue, it just looked neater and professional.
I'm transferring to new computer and this form gives me a me a "Cannot open embedded font" message and I can view only the basic layout, no text. After googling a bit, I tried several things to no avail. I've tried zipping the file, emailing to myself and a variety of ways to transfer to new computer...all give same result.
The folks that made it shrugged, but so far nothing helpful.
Anyone have a similar problem they've solved?

Do they still have the original files?
If so have them create a new PDF and fully embed all fonts.

How to save fillable pdf form *without* the blue highlight?

Created a fillable pdf form.
Clicked "remove highlight" and it went away.
Saved file as extended other so I can fill in and save when opened.
Open it and it still has all fields highlighted in the blue. How to I change this to be transparent?
Thanks so much!
Carolyn Witt

Thanks for the respons... if that is the case how come when I open fillable pdf's in AA from other people there is no highlight. But when I open the one I just created, there is highlight. That's all on the same computer with the same preferences?

Trying to converting fillable word documents to fillable pdf-when opening in Reader, no longer fillable

I am converting fillable word documents (set up as tables with protection activated) into fillable pdf forms using LiveCycle but am having problems once I try to open them in Adobe Reader 9.2. I am unable to save the pdf as dynamic (the only option is static). They are no longer fillable and show "You are viewing this document in PDF/A mode". Any advise...what am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I check my settings and I don't ask a PDF/A files. It's a PDF standard.
Have someone a solution ?
Thanks a lot for your help

I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. Thanks for any ideas!

On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing. Thanks for any ideas!

Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

Which C# Adobe library should I use to open a PDF in Acrobat Reader 9, 10, and 11?

Hi, all.
I have a Visual Studio C# application that writes an Adobe PDF using iText. Does anyone know how to programmatically open the PDF on client's computer and ensure it works for Adobe Reader 9, 10, and 11?
-I have Adobe Reader XI on my machine and "Adobe Pdf Reader" is NOT showing up in my COM references. This is the library that I've heard people use for this.
-The "Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library" is showing up there, but does not add to my project because of the following error message: "A reference to 'Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library' could not be added. Could not register the ActiveX type library....adoberfp.dll'." But I haven't persued this further becuase I'm not even convinced I should be using this library, which brings me to my next point:
-Please don't tell me to go read the Adobe SDK spec. In searching for this answer, I found posts on here with people asking this question and getting not great answers, or half-*** answers to go read the Adobe SDK spec. I have the Adobe SDK spec, it's terrible. The example source code is laughably poor and reads like it was written by someone with bad english, with poor naming, commenting, and documentation, and there is no separate document that explains what the source code does. I think the reason people say this is because they haven't read it themselves and they don't know the answer and hope to deal with the question by handwaving. Sorry for the rant if you weren't going to do that!
Thanks in advance, if anyone knows.
-Brandon

It will be from a client-side application, and I will be reviewing this further and get back on it. At this time my assembly isn't the correct type of 32-bit, which may be a deal-breaker. But downgrading it to 32-bit, I wasn't able to find or include the appropriate library for AXAcroPDF.
Just a word about my trying to read the SDK documentation. The documentation folder has 5 items, a folder called "Javascript", an html file caled "Acrobat_11_SDK_Help_Shortcut.html", a zip file called "...HTMLHelp.zip," pdf_reference.pdf, and U3DElements.pdf. I've never heard of U3DElements, so surely that isn't meant for me. The pdf_reference.pdf, when opened, has three PDF links to two supplements to ISO 32000-1 and a document titled Document management. These describe the PDF spec, so that's not for me. So I must have to use the HTML documentation shortcut. I open it, and my browser says the redirect URL can't be found. Ah, may be that stuff in the ZIP file it's referencing. After unzipping it, you have to move the file around so that it actually references the right index.html inside the unzipped folders, and then even after this it loads up as two blank frames in my browser. I will look into why the links are all dead, but holy lord, this is just not very helpful at all.
Thanks for your help, Test Screen Name.

How to open a pdf file in Adobe Reader using URL scheme on iOS devices

Can't open Acrobat pdf files in document library - SBS 2011

I've uploaded some Acrobat PDF files to a document library in the companyweb (SharePoint 2010 Foundation website) on SBS 2011. But if I click on one of them in the standard view, acrobat opens and displays a message “The URL you have provided could not be
reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable.” I'm using Acrobat Reader XI 11.0.2 and Internet Explorer 10.
I have tried a few suggested solutions, eg to edit the docicon.xml file to include <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>, check that the WebClient service is running, and
Use Remote Interfaces permission is set on the SharePoint site. But no luck.
I don't know if this is a problem with SBS 2011, or Acrobat, or Internet Explorer. Interestingly the pdf opens OK in Chrome. It looks like it is trying to edit the document instead of open it in the acrobat reader.
Anyone know of a solution?

I have found one possible solution. In my case the site was brought into Sharepoint Foundation 2010 as a migrated site from a previous SBS installation.
The site was imported as http://servername and the IIS site had a host header with companyweb so that users could browse to it, and all references to the site were as http://companyweb
All my attempts to open the PDFs were using the http://companyweb URL.
I was researching the issue and had gone through everything, but one thing got me thinking when some sites suggested that I look at the permissive or strict browser file open settings. I looked at the web application and it was set to http://servername in
the Central Administration site. I thought hmm let's try opening the Adobe PDF docs with that URL instead, and it worked!
So I changed the web application URL to http://companyweb and tried again and hey presto it's now working.
I really hope this helps someone, it took me a good couple of hours of my day researching to find the solution here.
Some extra info: we are using Adobe Reader 11.0.6 with IE11. Testing with Firefox worked, but that opens the document by downloading it locally and then using Adobe Reader. fix The above actually resolves the problem, it's nothing to do with permissive or strict
file open settings, I set the SP site back to strict and PDFs still open fine.

Can't download or open a fillable pdf with Windows 8.1 - desperately need help!

My son is working on a Boy Scout Eagle project. He recently got a computer with Windows 8.1. I also have Windows 8.1 on my computer. Neither of us are able to open the Eagle service project workbook fillable pdf form he already started and emailed to himself from his old computer or to download a new form from the BSA website. The latest version of Adobe pdf reader (11) is installed on both our machines. Here is the page from which we are to download the form:
Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook Procedures
Can anyone help us?

Have you tried opening the PDF directly from Adobe Reader? Windows 8.1 included Microsoft Reader, which is far less capable than Adobe Reader, and can't work with XFA-based PDF forms like the one you're trying to use.

Adobe reader crashes when 2 fillable PDF's are open

We are having trouble with Adobe reader on all levels. versions 9 10 and 11 are having this problem. When we have 2 fillable PDF's open and we Tab in one or copy and paste from one to another the program crashes with no warnings. It will close both files down like we had pressed the Close buttons. Acrord32.exe crashes each time is what i have noticed. I have not messed with Registry yet because I didn't think it would be needed at this moment since it is multiple computers. This is what I have done to try and fix this error and other pertinent information:
-Changed 3D settings
-Changed Security Settings
-upgraded from 9 to 10, 9 to 11, 11 to 10, 11 to 9, and it has been set back to 11 now
-uninstalled, reinstalled
-Broke some files and repaired the program
-tested on multiple computers with same results
-All systems are XP. on 7 it seems to be stable
-tested multiple forms with same results
If you need more information please let me know. Thank you for any help you can give me.
Thanks again,

I have adobe reader 11.0.09 installed on Windows 2008 R2 configured as Terminal server with Citrix XenApp 6.5 installed. The Server is hosting on average 14 - 15 simultaneous sessions. Adobe reader is installed on the server. The server is provisioned via Citrix Provisioning server 6.x
The problem:
The User with regular credentials opens two PDF files with writable fields at the same time. The user accesses the environment via remote access with Citrix receiver installed on his / her local desktop. The user fills up the text field on the first form and copies the text from the fields of first form to the appropriate fields of the second form. After few minutes adobe reader crashes.
After I was investigating the issue, I found that at certain point the application crashes and throws a record into the ProcMon list
More details from ProcMon
After the crash of the application, the highlighted section in the snapshot above disappears and the application at this time is dead.
This issue happens only when the PDF forms are opened with Adobe reader on Windows 2008R2. I have tested Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and 11.0.8 all of them are crashing the same way.
Help is more than welcome.
Thank You

Open local PDF inside Air iOS app

I am developing an AIR for iOS app for the iPad. My client would like the app to open a local PDF file within the app, rather than launching an external app (such as Adobe Reader). This is to give a seamless experience when using the app. I've seen that distriqt.com produce the 'PDF Reader' Native Extension based on www.vfr.org. VFR appears to have a series of interface controls that open along with the PDF, which I don't require. I emailed Distriqt a week ago to clarify, and have had no response.
Does anyone know of any other solutions to open a PDF inside an AIR iOS app?

I've managed to load a PDF successfully inside my AIR iOS app, using the code from http://thatsthaway.wordpress.com/201...1/#comment-102.
However, I've just come across a weird feature / bug when viewing a PDF using stagewebview. I have a PDF that contains several internal hyperlinks, each navigating to a page within the same PDF document. If I select any of the hyperlinks, they do jump to the intended pages. However, if I reselect the same hyperlink again, it no longer works. If I select a different hyperlink, and then reselect a previous link, it will then work, but if I select the same hyperlink twice in a row, without selecting a different hyperlink in between, the link fails to work. The PDF hyperlinks all work ok outside of my app, on both Windows desktop and an iPad, just not inside of the AIR app.
Any ideas?

Since last update on PDF can't open PDF file on iOS.
MSG says that PDF file I'm trying to open is not a valid PDF file but I can open
It on iPad. Any explanations please ?

If you can share this PDF with us at [email protected], we can take a look, and see if there's a bug in Reader for iOS that is preventing us from opening it.
