My Win7 computer is unable to display ticked off check boxes.

Am using the latest Acrobat version and this problem occurs on previous versions as well. When I tick off check boxes in writable forms, nothing appears in the check box. I suspect missing/corrupted fonts.
My other Win7 computer displays ticked off check boxes without a hitch.
Would someone have any idea of what the problem might be?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you for that form, Pat.
It's helping to isolate the problem. When opened in IE9, the problem persists. When opened in Chrome, the check boxes get checked.
My remaining problem is to fix this on this computer for IE9, now. I use an application where PDF forms are created as pop-ups and Chrome doesn't work with this application. As I mentioned before, the forms work correctly on another Win 7 computer using IE 9.
Another mystery is that saving the IE 9 form and opening in Adobe, the saved changes, except for the check box appear. Saving the Chrome form and opening in Adobe, the changes disappear and a blank form with highlights appears. The check box doesn't work in the Adobe, reopened form. This leads me to believe that something is amiss with my Adobe installation. Possibly a clean Adobe reinstal will fix this. I will try this later today.
Below are snippets of the forms changed in the browsers:
Chrome
IE9

I am trying to create a new itunes account and on the terms and conditions page the Agree button is permanently grey even when i have ticked the check box any ideas

On my Macbook Pro running Lion - trying to create a new ITunes account and the Agree button on the Terms and condition page will not come active even after checking the box any ideas

There isn't a way - at least not that I have found. I'm having an issue with this as well - seems like a shoddy sort of business practice. I refuse to enter my credit card number to download a FREE app. I'm encouraging the user community that has a problem with this to please post your opinion as well. I know this is a use community, but I have to think that Apple will take notice when an issue gets a lot of attention. Apple needs to hear your voice.

Display issue with check boxes

Hi,
Does anyone know why checkboxes look like they are stroked with different weights when you are zoomed out, or even at 100%? Why does this happen? when I zoom in, all is fine, it's only when I'm viewing the whole page. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks,
Stan

Not sure, but my guess it is simply a matter of the line weight you used (pixels or points) for the box border. When you zoom out, the program is attempting to place the information you have on a 96dpi (typical) screen. Thus the translation from your resolution to the screen resolution may vary with the location on the screen and how a line falls compared to the pixels representing it.

How do I tally values that only have a ticked Check Box next to them?

Hi Folks,
I'm new to Acrobat forms and have recently finished a complicated 7 page form for a client and I am quite pleased with it.
But the client has come back with the following request:
They want Check Boxes next to a series of values and, when a Check Box is ticked, it only adds that ticked value. To show what I mean, please see the below image.
So basically, there is a field on the left-hand side (Current Monthly Repayments) that tallies all the values - in my example this totals $50.00. Then, there is a field on the right-hand side (Future Monthly Repayments) that needs to tally only the values that have a ticked "Yes" Check Box next to them. In my example, this would produce a tally of $20.00.
Does anyone know how this could be done?
Thank you

Yes, that's perfect. Try the following custom calculation script:
// Custom calculation script for future monthly repayments field
(function () {
     // Initialize variables
     var i, cb, v, sum = 0;
     // Loop through each row and add repayment value if Yes is checked
    for (i = 1; i < 7; i += 1) {
        // Get the value of the check box
        cb = getField("CashFlowCheck" + i).valueAsString;
        // Get the value of the repayment field, as a number
        v = +getField("CashFlow" + i).value;
        // Add the value to the sum if the check box is checked
        if (cb === "Yes") {
            sum += v;
    // Set this field's value to the sum, rounded to the nearest cent
    event.value = util.printf("%.2f", sum);

At the end of the Personal Computer Software License Agreement, No check box to agree appears.

At the end of the Personal Computer Software License Agreement that downloads , a check box does not appear preventing me from clicking acceptance for use of the Adobe Reader Software.
Would appreciate some help.
Thank you

What is the resolution of the screen?

Check boxes to hide or display multiple subforms

I have been using radio buttons to display subforms individually. Now I need to have multiple subforms displayed based on check boxes, but I have never done this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just FYI, I used the following for the radio buttons:
if(this.rawValue==1)
WaterSysImpSF.presence="visible";
else
WaterSysImpSF.presence="hidden";
etc...
Thanks.

Hi Pradeep,
1. Create a Pushbutton or set a PF status.
2. u can create input fields without a subscreen.
3. u can code to hide the input fields by using
     LOOP at Screen.
        case screen-fieldname.
           when <fieldname1> or <fieldname2>..
              Screen-Invisible = 1.
              Screen-active = 0.
         endcase.
     ENDLOOP.
4. when u press the button.
i. Catch the Ok code
ii. Unhide the input fields.
     LOOP at Screen.
        case screen-fieldname.
           when <fieldname1> or <fieldname2>..
              Screen-Invisible = 0.
              Screen-active = 1.
         endcase.
     ENDLOOP.

Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

Hi,
Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help
Steve

It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

MS Notepad unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares

MS Notepad is unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares. But when I copy those squares on notepad to Wordpad or MS Word, they display the Chinese characters just fine. I've no idea why those Chinese characters I type can't display properly on notepad. I check the font of the notepad and it's the default. I've another Windows Vista desktop computer which has notepad of the similar setting and display Chinese characters just fine. Both are using Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin New Experience Input Style to input those characters. But I don't understand why my Windows 7 is facing this problem.

Hi,
Notepad is a very simple text editor BUT it will work if you use the SAME language in Windows. Please try:
1. go to control panel, click "Clock, Language, and Region"
2. click "Change location" under the "Region" section
3. go to the "administrative" tab, then click "change system locale...", then select "Chinese".
Regards.

DSC-WX350 shows leftover "Unable to Display" after removing photos from card

I'm having a problem with the DSC-WX350 seeing "ghosts" of photos after they've been removed to a computer. If I pop the camera's card out, stick it in a card reader, and move photos off the camera onto my computer, once I put the card back in the WX350 seems to see false files of the relocated photos: it acts like they're still there (info, date taken, keeps them in the photo count, etc.) but only shows a grey "Unable to Display" error. I then have to manually delete each erroneous entry manually. As you can imagine, doing so every time I move photos off the camera is a pain in the ******. I've looked through all the folders on the card and don't see anywhere that any leftover file markers or anything else to cause this issue would be. Any ideas why this is happening? (FYI, the card was freshly formatted properly prior to using it in the camera.) Thanks ahead of time.

Bob, I do not think you understand, or didn't read my post. I am not interested in recovering photos, because I already transferred them to my computer, and used the program in the computer to delete the photos I just transferred. After this is done, I put the SD card back in the WX350, and the Unable to Display message comes up when trying to view other photos just taken. This never happens when using my RX100M2. I think the reason is the firmware written for the bionz X processor has a flaw in it, which is too bad because Sony never releases firmware updates for cameras unless they cost a bazillon dollars. The WX350 is not the only Sony camera to have this issue, it happens with others using the latest processor. The only way around this is to reformat the SD card each time I transfer photos to my computer using non Sony software, which is a royal PIA if I do not want to delete everything on the SD card. Are you guys too proud to come up with firmware updates? Issuing firmware updates is not something to be ashamed of, it shows you care about your customers. David

Hi and welcome to the BlackBerry Community support forums!
Do you have the images on phone memory or on a micro sd card? Ether way, plug the device into a computer and move the pictures onto that computer to see if the computer will recognize them. If not they are corrupt.
As far as the device, There seems to be a problem saving the pictures properly, I would recommend reloading device software through BlackBerry desktop software.
Good Luck and let me know if I can further assist you.

I cannot print on my Canon i550 printer with the used Win7 computer I just bought. I downloaded a dr

I cannot print on my Canon i550 printer with the used Win7 computer I just bought. I downloaded a driver update from Canon that is supposed to fix the incompatibility issue, but it does nothing. Can anyone help? Can't afford a new computer or printer!

Hi cjvandeveer, The Windows 7 operating system has a mini-driver built-in for the printer. You can plug in the USB cable of printer into the computer and then turn the printer on. If Windows 7 automatically recognizes the printer, it will appear in your DEVICES AND PRINTERS window, and you will be able to print. You will then need to download the Windows 7 printer driver add-on module from our website. The add-on module will give the printer its full capability, but only after the printer is already recognized by Windows 7. First, to see if Windows recognizes your printer, please follow these steps: 1. Plug in the printer's USB cable into the computer and then turn on the printer. 2. Go to your START MENU on the computer and select DEVICES AND PRINTERS. 3. See if your printer is located in the DEVICES AND PRINTERS window. If it is not, we may need to run Windows Update on your computer in order for the printer to be initially recognized. Please follow these steps to install the latest driver for your printer from Windows Update: 1. Turn the printer on and ensure it is connected to the computer with the USB cable. Please note that your computer will also need to be connected to the internet before performing the next step. 2. Click on your START menu button, and in the text box that appears, type in 'WINDOWS UPDATE', then click on START SEARCH. The Windows Update window should open. 3. Click on the 'SEARCH FOR UPDATES' or 'CHECK FOR UPDATES' link. The computer will search for updates and then display the updates it has found relevant to your operating system and devices connected to it. 4. View the CRITICAL UPDATES and OPTIONAL UPDATES that appear; if you see an update for your printer, select that one and then install it. 5. Once the driver is installed, please restart your computer. Once Windows 7 recognizes your printer, you can then install the printer add-on module from our website to give the printer its full functionality. Hope this helps! This didn't answer your question or issue? Please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Unable to Display This Video

Watching videos at nbcnews.com, some days get message: Unable to display this video. The ads always display, but not the stories. And only some days. Why?

You're right that when the apps are available they work better than Safari. I can't find one for The Last Word, which is my favorite show. And like I said, the problem seems to be intermittent, so I don't believe that its a Flash issue. Actually, it's been a couple of days now since I could view The Last Word, so perhaps they are doing something different with their coding than before.
Thanks for your suggestions... They are helpful. :-)
