ISR/Adobe possible on Acrobat version lower then 7.0.x

Dear forum,
Working with ISR/Adobe forms I know it is common sense to use the latest Acrobat reader version, or at least 7.0.1. At a customer site we face serious compatibility problems with other software when using versions from 7.0.X . So it seems we are stuck on 6.0.x. Maybe you mind that 6.0.2 is mentioned in the ISR cookbook as the first possible release of Acrobat reader.
Unfortunately, however 6.0.2 does not seem to work properly. My question is: does anybody have ISR/adobe running with a Acrobat reader 6.x? In other words, if anyone had experience with modifying the ISR scripts to get it work on a release lower then 7.0.x?
Iam looking forward to your answer,
Hans GM

Hi Hans,
could you let me in on the incompatibilities (software, release, etc.) at your customer's site (directly if you prefer). This is quite crucial for SAP. If one customer runs into issues, others are bound to as well. (So far, luckily, we haven't heard of this yet, so it would be important to analyze whether the issue really is around Reader.)
Some background on the topic of Reader: With continuing development on both Adobe and SAP side, new requirements and features came up and into the product over time (including a new PDF spec, 1.6 instead of 1.5). Some features also required work on the Reader. If anyone has attempted to adapt the scripts to Reader 6, they probably had a difficult time. SAP also recommends to go the latest Reader release instead of sticking with 6.0.X. Apart from the annyoing Update available pop-ups in Reader...
Thanks in advance,

I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version. For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running. I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

Acrobat versions and form

Is there a way to keep a form from opening in an acrobat version lower than 8.x. When opening the form in a lower version, Acrobat offers to upgrade. But if you don't, it will still open, but some of the form doesn't work or display correctly. I would rather it not open at all.

Hi,
You can use xfa.host.version property to define version of Reader and write if condition to prevent form opening.

Question to Adobe: Ruling out non-Adobe viewers via Acrobat Javascript

Hi,
***I would like to address this question to Adobe Acrobat developers:****
I'd like to add a doc-level javascript (thru another script) that will check the viewer type, and if it neither Acrobat (6 and higher) nor Reader, the document will close.
So I wrote:
this.addScript("CheckViewer", "var viewer = app.viewerType;\
     if ((viewer !== \"Exchange-Pro\") && (viewer !==\"Reader\"))\
     {app.alert(\"This Document Requires Adobe Reader or Acrobat Version 10 or Later.\");\
    this.closeDoc(true);}");
The script is correctly placed in the document, BUT if I open the document in Foxit Reader, for example, nothing happens just because Foxit disguises itself as "Reader". Is there a way to overcome this problem?
I think, the best way would be to change the Acrobat Javascript API so that app.viewerType values will be: Adobe_Exchange-Pro, Adobe_Exchange, and Adobe_Reader.
I would appreciate your advice!

As you understand, I am not for "breaking millions of existing PDFs". I just need a good solution for a serious problem that can no longer be ignored.
If I were a Foxit developer (or an Adobe developer), I would tell you what is missing or fails quickly. That's the reason why at the beginning of the post I wrote:
***I would like to address this question to Adobe Acrobat developers:****
In any case, I appreciate your input much!

Accessing Acrobat versions

Hi --
I recently discovered a CD containing family history. The CD was created using an older version of Acrobat, circa 2004. When I try accessing the CD's content now, an error message is returned -- "Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)". Does anyone know what this is, or how to correct it? Thanks!

Okay, I guess I should accept that explanation. However, I would follow that up with another question: How does a CD that's only been accessed twice, at the very minimum, and has been stored in a protective sleeve for the last 7 years? Seems highly unlikely that it would be damaged.

It means the CD is damaged. Has nothing to do with the version of the file.

Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

Dear Adobe Support Team,
I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
Kind Regards,
Vikraman.G

Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

Get the Adobe Acrobat version

Hello,
For my next plugin I need to support Acrobat 8 and 9. The plugin will be installed in the correct installation path (in Adobe 8 or 9) during the installation. But I don't know if it's possible to know the Acrobat version used by the plugin.
Do you know a function which gives the version of Acrobat?
Thanks in advance,

You can find this information also in the Acrobat and PDF Library API Reference. Or did you develop your plug-in without this documentation?

Where do I find the link to re-install Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.8.24. My drive got fried. I have the Product Key.

You can download Acrobat X from https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html then update to the version you want. The current Acrobat X version is 10.1.13.

Adobe Acrobat XI substitutes automatically previous Acrobat versions?

Recently I bought Adobe Creative Cloud, after using years Adobe CS3. Adobe Acrobat XI substitutes automatically previous Acrobat versions?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

How to Install Adobe Acrobat Version 6.0 or later

How do I download adobe acrobat version 6.0 or later?

Basically, the only download for Acrobat that Adobe now provides is for AA XI at the Adobe store. As mentioned, you have left out a lot of information for us to help. It sounds like you will need a new purchase of AA XI (not an upgrade). If you are talking about Reader, that is a totally different product and the link is provided on the www.adobe.com home page.

Cannot Copy and Paste in Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard

I just bought a new computer and with it I purchased Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard. In the past I used previous version of Acrobat standard and professional to create drawings and to copy and paste my engineering seal on my structural calculations. I am having (2) problems. The first is when I try to copy and paste my seal from a PDF file, it does not work in Version 9. I use the snap shot tool. Please try the attached file using Version 9. It works in Version 8 Standard and Version 7 professional.
The second is when I try to printing from AutoDesk products. I had the problem of when I would print a PDF from AutoCAD it would sooo big. To work around that, I started using Autodesk Reviewer and creating my PDFs from an Autodesk DWF file. WIth Version 9, I now having the file size problem with the DWF files. It is about 5 times larger than the DWF and the qualtiy is terrible. I was able to create a PDF from a DWF from Version 7 and 8 without these problems.

It has been a part of Acrobat for a while now but DWF was added in Acrobat 8, I believe. As far as older versions are concerned, the version of AutoCAD you have matters. See: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2008/12/version_compatibility_of_acrob.html. In addition, AutoCAD 2009 is supported in Acrobat 9.1.
I would recommend downloading a trial copy of Acrobat and see if it meets your requirements.
