Mavericks, Adobe XI, blank saved forms

I am using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks.  I upgraded to Reader XI.  Whenever I open an existing PDF the form appears but the "filled-in areas" are blank.  When I click on the "filled-in" fields, they appear but once I click on another field, the first field disappears.  I have tried other versions of Reader and restarted my computer but neither changed the outcome.  What can I do?

Thanks for asking, Mike.
The files are stored on my computer so they open in Reader

  • Offline scenario - post data from saved form to SQLServer

    This is the scenario am struggling to develop. User downloads the interactive form.  Goes offline. I mean no connection to the Web Application Server. But he will have access to a SQLServer database (it may be on his machine or in his intranet). He will fill the form and save it on his local hard disk. Now, I want his saved form data to be posted to the SQLServer.  I thought about a couple of ways to do this.
    1) Is it possible to change the control type of 'Submit' button to submit and then in the URL field, call some ASP page (this page is deployed on a local IIS) and then submit the form fields to that ASP page which takes care of database connection, posting etc. So user downloads form only once. But fills it with different data each time and clicks submit. First of all, will submit button work when the form is not opened in web browser? I mean when it is saved on a local hard disk opened in a standalone Adobe Reader?
    2) Is it possible to write some java program using any APIs and extract the data from the form saved on local hard disk? It may be possible because I have the .xdp file for the form. But I dont know if there are some APIs available to do the same.
    Any inputs whether these ideas are feasible? Any other new ideas are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Narayana,
    if you want to export xml data from Reader to local disk you can use a command:
    xfa.host.exportData("",0);
    It works like from menu Export data from Forms.
    To your second post:
    Yes, you can save form in Adobe Live cycle designer as pdf and you can open it in Adobe Reader and test it. It will work.
    In tab Submit for your button set these properties:
    Submit Format: XML Data (XML)
    Submit to URL: url of your page
    Encoding: UTF8
    Here is a sample code in c# for asp.net. Insert method save to your asp.net page and call it from method Page_Load.
              using System;
              using System.IO;
              using System.Web;
              private void save()
                   const int coniBufferLen=1024;
                   string lsTmpFile;
                   try
                        lsTmpFile="c:\adobe\body.pdf.xml.txt";  // File on local disk where to save xml data sent by Reader. IIS needs rights to write here.
                        FileStream loFS=null;
                        try {loFS=File.Create(lsTmpFile);}
                        catch (Exception e1)
                             // TODO
                             return;
                        int liCelkem=Request.ContentLength;
                        int liNacteno=0;
                        byte[] laResponse=null;
                        int liLen=Math.Min(coniBufferLen,liCelkem-liNacteno);
                        while (liLen>0)
                             try
                                  laResponse=Request.BinaryRead(liLen);
                                  loFS.Write(laResponse,0,liLen);
                             catch (Exception e1)
                                  try {loFS.Close();}
                                  catch {}
                                  try {File.Delete(lsTmpFile);}
                                  catch {}
                                  // TODO
                                  return;
                             liNacteno+=liLen;
                             liLen=Math.Min(coniBufferLen,liCelkem-liNacteno);
                        loFS.Close();
                   catch (Exception e2)

  • ADOBE AIR for offline applications or Adobe LiveCycle Designer Offline form

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement of recreating the XK01 Customer Master Creation functionality and host it as online application in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. I have done this by creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and embedding a adobe livecycle designer interactive forms (having same fields as required for Customer Master creation in XK01). In online scenario, the PDF form opens up in browser. In offline scenario, the user can fill up the form and upload the form using UPLOAD button created in the Web Dynpro application. There has been some performance issues like if we have too many dropdown UI elements in the form (having many entries in each), then the form takes too much time to get uploaded.
    Can we think of a alternate solution using Adobe AIR desktop application which will enable the user to fill up the form in AIR like User interface. I am new to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR.
    The online scenario  perfectly fine with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Forms and SAP ABAP Web Dynpro application. It's offline functionality where its performance hasnt been up to the mark.
    Also let me know if Adobe AIR can be used in the offline scenario while ADOBE forms in online scenarion or is it mandatory to have AIR AND FLEX in offline and online scenario respectively.
    Please advise.
    Regards.
    Rohit

    hi,do you still need an answer for this question?
    Because Adobe flex and air are very good solutions for a offline and online scenario
    Kind regards,

  • Is there Speech to Text Software Capabilities? .... for Adobe Acrobat PDF Fillable Forms - Mac

    Hi,
    I hope that someone can help me with this.....
    I create forms in InDesign and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF. I create a fillable version in Acrobat so my clients "field therapists" can fill the forms out utilizing their laptops and iPads when on location with client. The forms they fill out, most use the mac, and they are now requesting that the fillable PDF forms have the capability to render text when it is spoken. (Speech to Text) also if written with a stylus pen the want it to render the text in the fields (handwriting to text)
    I have researched and have found a company that has software that does this for mac, called dragon, but they said I need to test the software to see if it does what I need it to do with the acrobat pdf.
    Has anyone implemented this "speech to text" and "handwriting to text" in any of their Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable forms?
    If so, what did you find worked, or what did you find that did not work.
    All responses welcome, I am hopeful I can find software that will work with existing mac adobe acrobat fillable PDF forms so I dont have to change the manner in which I am creating my forms for this client.
    P.S. FYI, I am not looking for responses that are a response for 508 Compliant forms which is speaking the text, this I do for clients and this I know how to do, it is quite different from "Speech to Text"
    Thanks in advance for all responses.

    There really is nothing Adobe can do about how non-Adobe software functions. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it's controlled by ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have pretty good support, and some (like Preview) are simply malevolent. There is a lot of non-Adobe software that creates bad PDFs, and a lot that doesn't have nearly the support of Acrobat/Reader. Again, this isn't a problem Adobe can solve.
    Regarding, allowing image formats with the buttonImportIcon method and Reader, I know a feature request has been submitted for this. Reader 11 is the first version since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the mean time, it's fairly easy nowadays to convert an image to PDF. Even Preview can do it.

  • Saving forms takes long time.

    Hi,
    I our system we foud that, when many users are working - saving form (from both web interface and smartview) in one of our planning app takes a long time (over 10 minutes).
    When there are few users working it takes only few seconds.
    What can be done to increase planning performance in situations like this?
    Best regards,

  • Adobe LiveCycle Dynamic XML forms & Apple iPad

    Are Adobe LiveCycle Dynamic XML forms viewable/useable by Apple iPad and Apple phone or other mobile devices? 

    According to Adobe, you can with LiveCycle ES4. At least, that's how I read their blog post on ES4 Mobile forms support.
    Of course, there have been several discussions started about this in the Adobe forums.

  • Do customers need adobe to fill out forms

    I am trying to do a meal order form to email to my customers for them to fill out and submit.  Do my customers need Adobe to fill out form?

    The answer depends on which Adobe FormsCentral workflow you use.  If you plan to create a pdf form and email it to customers, then they will need the free Adobe Reader to fill out the form and submit the data to FormsCentral.  If you create a FormsCentral HTML form and email a link to the form, then your customers will need a web browser to enter and submit data.

  • Regarding scripting in adobe HCM process and forms

    Hi Gurus,
    I am working on adobe HCM process and forms. Configuration has been done for HCM process and forms and I am getting the scenario stage level in the forms based on which I will give the visibilty to differenct levels of approvals in the form.Scripting has been done for that.
    When form is initially loaded, I am making invisible some of the fields. On choosing the drop down the value that I make invisible is visible again. I found that Scenario stage that I bound to the form attribute is getting cleared off, when drop down event is called. Drop down event calls the generic services to fill the drop down values. Drop down used is from ISR Controls from the library.
    The scripting that I used in the drop down event is as belows
    if (xfa.form.data.Page1.FORM_SCN.rawValue == "INIMGR_LVL1")
      xfa.form.data.Page1.DE.DEContent.HR_VIEW.presence = "invisible";
    xfa.form.data.Page1.FORM_SCN.rawValue  this is getting cleared off. Form SCN is the field in the form where in which I bound the attribute scenario stage.
    Pls help me on this.
    Regards,
    Krishnan  Paramasivan

    Solomon,
    Thanks for the earliest response. can you explain me in detail. Where to check/select the form scenario stage field to be passed over. In scripting the coding written as below:
    xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "DD_GET_POSITION";
    ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
    DD_GET_POSITION is the event created in generic services and used in the user events in the form scenario stage in HRASR_DT.
    Any further guidance on this ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Krishnan

  • Adobe Pro 10 fillable forms on my website not so great now on different browsers...?

    Why do my Adobe Pro 10 fillable forms on my website work great in Explorer and Chrome and when downloaded but do not open in Mac, Windows 8, and look funny in Firefox?

    And sad thing is the adobe PDF Plugin doesn't work on Mac in which you can view, Print and fillout through any browsers, be it : Chrome, FF, SeaMonkey, Opera, Maxthon, Safari, OmniWeb, iCab.  Even PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert of Germany doesn't work well and may not even work with Yosemite. The Adobe plugin hasn't  worked with Mac in ages. And I've continually requested that it be fixed. And last time I received a nasty note from Adobe saying they had no intention of ever fixing it. That they would rather concentrate on new features than fixing any bugs that crop up.

  • I don't understand.  I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat.  If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

    I don't understand.  I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat.  If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

    Adobe also has Acrobat.com and there is DropBox.com. Adobe has also announced Adobe Document Cloud.
    Forms central provide a subscription service for users with Reader to create simple forms. Apparently this did not meet a majority of users and with the minimal price difference for Acrobat and free web storage the users were better served without it. I expect cloud services will continue to emerge until providers better and more fully understand the user requirements.

  • I-Mac Mavericks & Adobe Premier v 10

    I have an I-Mac originally with Mountain Lion, recently upgraded to Mavericks (v 10.9.2). I have Adobe Premier Elements v 10
    that worked well with Mountain Lion, but has slowed down considerably in loading larger video files to edit since the upgrade.
    Smaller files load (as before) with no prolbems.
    Is this a common problem?
    Is there a "patch to correct this?
    or, do I need to either remove & re-install Adobe Premier V 10 or
    upgrade to a recent (v 12?) version?
    Thanx.

    Hi Mr. Smith:
    Thanks for your recent response to my question concerning
    I-Mac Mavericks & Adobe Premiere Elements v10 installation problem.
    Just to let you know:
    I browsed thru the Adobe Site & came across a “f     ix” for this
    technical problem that has apparently affected others as well.
    I used this help page, using the “patch” installer technique
    with the original dvd install disc (as instructed) & it installed perfectly.

  • Can I export or convert an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

    What is the best method for exporting or converting an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

    Good day in2psy,
    As FormsCentral is a web-based service that hosts the forms you create, you cannot download them and use them locally on your computer.

  • Previously saved forms now blank...

    Using Reader on Andriod (Nexus 4) for work verification forms. I have been using the app for the past two weeks to record job information, gather signatures, etc. When I went to pull up the forms for completion and invoicing, they are now all coming up blank. All previously saved information is now missing.
    Any clues on what happened, or ways to retrieve a previous version? This is 13 clients in a large geographic area, would be very difficult to obtain signatures again.
    Also, my documents are not syncing between my Android and cloud.acrobat.com. Changes made on one device do not show up on the other, even though mobile link is enabled.

    Could you please confirm that your Mobile Link was turned on while trying to get the documents signed? Also, please let us know the Adobe Reader version that you are using.
    Also, as you mentioned that you do not get the option to save the document to Acrobat.com, did you tap on the overflow menu an not get the option to save the document to Acrobat.com? This scenario is only possible if your document is already saved to Acrobat.com. For all local documents, you must get this option.
    Also, signature tool gets 'flattened'(embedded into the document) as soon as you close the file, hence it is a more reliable way of adding the signatures. Once a signature is added, you can always clear it to add a new signature.
    Could you please also confirm that the 'Recents' list does not have different documents with the same name?
    Thanks,
    Adobe Reader Team
