Livecycle ES Form bug with Adobe Reader 9

My firm is currently upgrading certain people to Adobe Reader 9. I have created fillabe forms using Livecycle ES (Adobe Professional 8) and distribute these forms using the "distribute" function in Adobe Professional 8. The forms are sent back using a submit button with a "mailto" script. When the users send the form back to me using this submit button (and using Adobe Reader 8), the form was submitted automatically without opening new email message box. Now, the updraded users (adobe 9) are hitting the submit button and it is opening up a new email message box instead of sending the form automatically through the email server (outlook). What can I do to make the submit button work correctly with Adobe 9? or is there a default setting in Adobe 9 that needs to be changed? I have already tried extending user rights and that did not change the way the form was sent back to me. Thanks, Jen

Actually, this was an upgrade when the users were upgraded to Adobe Reader 8. I distribute the form via Adobe 8 Professional. I have 2 submit buttons on my form. The 1st submit button is visible and the users click. If all required fields are filled out, then the 2nd submit button (which is invisible) sends the form back to me via email (using the script mailto:[email protected]). This is done so that the form cannot be sent without filling out the required fields. Also, I distribute the form via the distribution function in Adobe Professional 8, so that a Dataset file is set up for returned forms. I really like this function, but now Adobe Reader 9 doesn't allow it.
If anyone has a fix for this, please help.
Thanks,
Jen

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 :-

Bug in Adobe Reader when displaying lines?

Hi there!
I'm creating a complex document with Apache FOP, using tables with visible and hidden borders. Although, all lines have the same attributes, Adobe Reader renders them in different thikness. In the FOP forum, there has been a lot of discussions about this issue. Conclusion is, that it is not supposed to be a FOP bug. Some other readers render the created documents well. You might want to read about it here: http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/Cell-border-rendering-error-thicker-with-number-co lumn-spanned-tp17999p37229.html. Displaying on screen, it is possible to avoid this by not using "Enhance thin lines". However, printed documents allways show these lines in different thikness. To avoid this being a FOP bug, there is a simple example document, producing the bug with Adobe Reader. It can be found here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlgraphics-fop-users/201211.mbox/raw/%3c5095C97A .[email protected]%3e/2. The document is hand crafted. To see the issue, turn on "Enhance thin lines" and try different zoom values. If this document contains incorrect contents, I'll be happy, if you let me know.
Regards.

You will not get a response from the bug report but they DO read the reports and use them to make future updates.
I notice a lot of the other issues reported here have not been responded to either.
Is that the normal process?
I haven't noticed that at all. In fact, most posts here get results as long as the poster gives enough details. Keep in mind that the answers are coming from fellow users and it is not an official avenue to contact Adobe personnel.

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

The form can not be saved if open with adobe reader

Hi all,
I create a registration form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.1291 then I Save As both into static and dynamic
Then when I'm open the registration form file using Adobe Reader 9 then there's message appearing says "Please Fill it up this following form . You CAN NOT save data Type into this document bla.. bla.. "
My question is why if I open it with acrobat then the form able to be saved but it can not be saved if I open with adobe reader ?
Need suggestion for this matter
Thanks

You need to Reader Extend the form to work with Adobe Reader..
Open the same file in Adobe Acrobat and goto Advanced Menu -> Extend Features in Adobe Reader and save the file..

Auto populating a form with Adobe Reader

Hi,
I have a few questions regarding fillable forms- any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Basically, I'm trying to make a fillable form that users can fill in with adobe reader. Within the same document, I need a page that will have several fields that will auto-populate based on the user responses typed into earlier fields. Is this possible to do? I haven't purchased acrobat yet, but if it's possible to make a form like this, then I'll buy the program. I know it's possible to do something similar in MS word, but I find those forms really clunky and they're a pain to use with locking/unlocking etc. Ultimately, I need a form that is very simple to use and can be filled in (including the auto-populate function) with just a basic adobe reader, as not everyone using the form would have acrobat. I also need some options for making the final auto-populating form aesthetically pleasing. Would acrobat do the job?
Thanks again for your help!

You might want to explain exactly what you mean by "autopopulate". The answer is yes, it's certainly possible, but may need some scripting depending on exactly what it is you want to do.
Regarding aesthetics, that's up to you. Normally you'd create the form layout in a program such as InDesign, Word, or whatever else you have available and use Acrobat to convert the source document to PDF. You'd then add the interactive form fields in Acrobat and set them up to behave as you want.
Note that you can download the trial version of Acrobat and use it for a while before you need to buy it: www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

Adobe Form Calling WebService Doesnu00B4t work with Adobe Reader 7

Hi experts,
We have created and adobe form that simulates a PM Notification in which the user, without logging into SAP, through an RFC and WebServices can create the notification into SAP.
This process only works with Adobe Reader 9 and not with Adobe Reader 7.
Can anyone tell me what main difference/component/functionality does Adobe Reader 9 have that Adobe Reader 7 doesn´t?
When I call the Webservice through the form in Adobe 7, a pop-up message appears that says:
"Error attempting to read from file.
http://desaecc6.codelco.cl:8001/sap/bc/rfc/sap/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/222/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12"
Any ideas why this error ocurrs only in Adobe Reader 7?
Thanks and best regards,
Fernando Montenegro

Hello,
I cannot tell what are the exact differencies between the version. But I can tell you should always use (at least try to use the newest Reader). I guess you´re not the only developer on Forms, so there are possibly more people depending on the version of the client browser/ Reader. There is a solution for this problem, which does not ask anything from you, only the user.
You can easily test the Reader version through JS coding and act based on the result. I use this like this "if your Reader is lower than 8.1" then "message popup = We are sorry, your Reader is too old, this form won´t work for you. Please upgrade first.". It takes like 5 minutes (10 for lame users at max) to update his Reader.
Maybe you should this about such a test, if the user passes the test, his application won´t have any problem, if not there is no guarantee. And YOU have no problem, nobody tells you "hey sir, your form is not working, I´m not gonna pay you".

Filling in forms with adobe reader in firefox on ubuntu64

Hi
I am trying to fill in pdf forms with adobe reader 8.12 in firefox 3.03 and ubuntu64 8.04.
The forms display in firefox and I can check boxes, but when I try to select a text box I am unable to type. I can enter text by right clicking on the box and pasting. I also cannot use tab to move between boxes.
If I save a pdf to disk and open it with adobe reader then I can enter text and cycle through boxes with tab.
Sometimes I am unable to load pdfs in firefox that I have viewed before. When I click on the link a blank page is displayed. I can open them if I set firefox to open them externally with acroread rather than in the browser window.
Thanks for any help.
Paul

It's completely up to the IRS to create a form where the information fits in the field. There is nothing you can do with Reader since it is simply what it is called, a reader.
For you to change the document properties would require using the full version of Acrobat.

Can't open interactive form with adobe reader mobile version

Hello,
I have an interactive PDF document which I would like to open with my mobile phone (Android) and the adobe reader. If I open the document an error message appears.
Do we need to adjust the script to enable interactive forms also on mobile devices? The pdf document can be opend on my PC without issues.
Thank you

Hi,
Based on your description, I believe that the PDF Form that you are trying to open and fill out is an XFA form. Mobile Reader currently cannot display XFA forms.For these XFA PDF files, you will need to open them on your desktop Adobe Reader to read and fill the form.
Thanks,

Form is filled on iPad then emailed. If form is opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible.

Form filled on ipad. When opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible- form is blank. Have been using this system for months with no problems.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

Hello,
I just solved this problem on my computer.
Windows 7 comes with only one "Voice" installed. "Microsoft Anna - English (United States)" I'm not sure what you get if your in another country.
You can test your "Voice/Voices" by running Microsoft Narrator. Click [Start] button and type "Narrator" in the [search programs and files] box. Press [Enter]. Your computer should begin talking. Click [Voice Settings] button to see a list of installed voices. Take note of the voices listed. "Mine has just the one."
Adobe Reader must have a voice selected that you have installed. To verify your settings Run Adobe Reader. From the top menu click [Edit] then click [Preferences] at the bottom of the list. In the Preferences window click [Reading] from the left hand list. Find "Read Out Loud Options" Un-check [Use default voice] Choose a voice from the drop down menu that you have verified is installed on your computer. Click [OK]
My Adobe Reader had 4 voices listed to choose from. I found this curious because I only have one voice.
Hope that helps.

Which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9?

Hello,
which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9? It is said that "CosDocSaveWithParams" can't be used.
thanks!
jimmy

Unless the PDF file is "READER ENABLED for SAVE" (see the adobe product pages on LiveCycle Reader extensions server)
You are not able to call a Save at all, if the document is reader enabled then you need to use the JavaScript call to save the document,
As you appear to be wanting to do this in a plug-in you would need to call the script from a plug-in, this can be done using the AFExecuteThisScript () function call.
Please note that this does will fail if the document is not reader enabled for save and you need to include the Forms HFT in your plug-in,
This plug-in would also have to be approved by Adobe to be used with the reader and as you are implementing a function that is available in the full Acrobat product this may not be a straight forward approval.

Forms created with Adobe Professional 10 can't be printed

Hi,
For some reason I have the problem that I have several forms and I want my clients to fill those out. The forms were created in Adobe Professional 9, and later created with the Adobe Professional 10 or actually with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. The forms were created in Word and adapted in livecycle designer.
On my computer I as well have Adobe Reader 7. The forms are then sent from the customer back to me, but I can not print them using Adobe Professional 10, But there is the possibility to open the forms with Adobe Reader 7 and print it which works just fine.
Now, the customer has to print out some forms on their own to sign them and send them back to us. As far as I am informed the customer has Adobe Reader 8 or 9, depending on the the department they work in.
About a solution I would be very grateful.
Thanks in
advance!

The forms are then sent from the customer back to me, but I can not print them using Adobe Professional 10,
What happens when you print the forms?
