Keystrokes will not function in adobe acrobat reader

A company I am affiliating with is requiring me to fill out PDF forms online.
I am able to open the forms but when I attempt to type in a field my computer dings at me. No error messages.
Typing is simply not excepted.
Why?

If you can find multiple answers at this site for my question.
Please enlighten me by posting at least a dozen such answers.
At least thanks for some kind of response.
First off. Many people who may know the answer to your questions may simply not want to answer you if they don't like your tone. This is what I was trying to tell you more politely in my previous message. (Don't count ~graffiti, he is an exception).
Second off. You'd have to ask Adobe about this, although it has been recently improved; before that, it was simply useless.
Third off. Here are the results of a quick first search I did for you: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userI D=&containerType=14&container=3414&spotlight=true&rankBy=date&q=%22cannot+fill%22. Don't expect me to open a single one of those threads to check if it contains the full answer to your question.
Finally. You can fill in forms with just the free Reader (not Adobe; that's the company), I think that v. 9 and above (it could be 8), but only if they have been specially enabled by the author.

  • Photoshop CS6 PDFs will not open in Adobe Acrobat

    Photoshop CS6; Windows 8
    I've been using Photoshop to create reduced size PDFs. I've never had a problem with CS6 until the passed week. When I click to save for PDF no "error" dialogue box appears. However, when I try to open the new file in Adobe Acrobat reader a dialogue box says "Out of memory". Also, in my windows explorer, the file shows up as just a white box in the "Preview" side panel.
    What am I not doing correctly all of a sudden? I've been sticking with the same preferences and Save settings since I first started using Photoshop CS5.

    Have you updated Acrobat/ Adobe Reader recently? If so, this update may have introduced a compatibility issue in the globally shared Adobe PDF libraries. Either that or the update never went through properly and now you have a botched Acrobat. Do otehr PDFs from different sources open? If not, that would be a strong hint that you may need to reinstall/ repair Acrobat. It's also possible that you may have enabled sandboxing in the Acrobat Security prefs (or an update did) and thus Acrobat refuses to open certain files, if it can't determine their origins. One more thing that comes to mind: Have you tried saving the file twice in a row under the same name? Sometimes this stuff happens too fast (on SSD drives and such) and Windows doesn't update file security info in time (or your virus scanner can't keep up) and the resulting file is useless. Overwriting it with the same file would then yield correct results.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
    How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
    Help!

    Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
    8.
    When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
    In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
    So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.

  • Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

    "Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

    From the JS API Reference of the print method:
    Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
    events.
    Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
    and a print dialog box will always be presented.

  • 7.0.1 will not work with Adobe acrobat pdf creator 1.1 - what, if anything can I do to 'make' pdfs?

    wish I were smart enough to add details.... here's the best I can do: before installing 7.0.1 it says the adobe will not be compatible

    You can't use system restore to go back to a previous Firefox version. SR only restores a few specific files and not all files. You will have to do a reinstall of your Firefox version.
    You can find the latest Firefox release here:
    *Firefox 8.0.1: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Firefox 7.0.1: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/7.0.1
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

  • Flash is not working in Adobe Acrobat Reader

    Hi - I created a bunch of Flash tabs in Flash CS6 - they work great - but I want to put them into Adobe Acrobat X PRO (the writer) and they imported just fine and work just great inside of Acrobat X PRO.  However when I go to send the exported PDF with the Flash elements inside of it - to someone who only has Acrobat Reader (but doesn't have the Flash plug-in installed on their machine) - that person can open the PDF and can even view the Flash element but they get a yellow bar across the top of the PDF that says they must install the Flash plug-in to use it.  Well that is great but this PDF is being used out in the field where they cannot install the Flash plugin....
    I am suprised it does this because Flash importing and exporting capability is native to Acrobat Reader...and I thought I read that Acrobat has flash reading/rendering capability natively built into the Reader itself.  Am I wrong - and/or does anyone have a workaround for this?? 
    Andrew

    Hi andrewpweyrich
    What is the version of Adobe Reader You're using ?
    Flash has been removed from the Reader X in latest releases and also it has been removed from Reader XI.
    You Need to sepeately download and install the Flash plug-in to view the flash content.

  • PDF documents will not open in Adobe Acrobat 5

    I have one computer with XP running Acrobat 5. I now have a second computer running Windows 7 with Acrobat 9 Pro.  When I take PDF documents from the computer with Acrobat 9 Pro to the one with Acrobat 5, the PDF docs will not open - an error message states the file is corrupted.  Why is this hapening and how can it be fixed?
    Thanks for any assistance - confused.

    #1 - The files were moved using a thumb/USB drive and "Safely Remove" was used.
    #2 - You may be on to something here for some: Some were created by AA9 but some others were scanned in and some were from AA8 that I had no trouble before.
    #3 - The only "special feature" is that the PDF files are searchable and some are a PDF of an image.
    These are basic PDF files.
    Thanks for your assistance

    We don't have any plans for a new version of Flash Player for Android.  That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using third party browsers.

  • Can't print via Adobe acrobat reader!

    the printer is:  HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn Color Multifunction Printer

  • 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 :-

  • Will OraRRP Support Adobe Acrobat Reader X?

    After Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9 on a Windows PC was upgraded to version X (10), the Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility (orarrp.exe v1.3.4) no longer worked. (OraRRP setup for Reports 10gR2 per MetaLink Note ID: 277431.1.) It worked fine before Acrobat Reader upgrade but, afterwards, report printing attempts generated an OraRRP Error -- 'Failed to establish DDE conversation with Acrobat, Error: 16394'.
    Downgrading Acrobat Reader back to version 9.4 allowed OraRRP to function correctly again. Will the OraRRP utility be updated to support newer versions of Acrobat Reader (X or greater) which include latest OS and security fixes?
    Thanks,
    James
