Need help finding why my form crashes Adobe Reader for iPad

I have created several simple PDF forms in Adobe Pro and LiveCycle Designer. They primarily consist of text fields and have no coding running in the background. However, these forms are somewhat long and consist of four to twelve pages. Several of our crews that fill in the forms on the iPad have reported random crashing of the app. I checked the log files to find it is consistently a memory error. I need to find the cause of the error but don't know where I should start. The Adobe Reader app is the only one on the device that is having a problem. I believe it could be my form but don't know what to look for. Any assistance in correcting this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Most apps for iOS or android mobile devices do not handle LiveCycle forms.
Do your mobile devices have the primary and secondary memory of your desktop or laptop computers?
Remember desktop and laptop computers have virtual memory and can swap core memory to secondary storage like disk drives.

Need help finding the desktop applc of Adobe Reader for Palm OS

Either I'm going blind, or Adobe just failed to include a download link for that Adobe Reader desktop application that takes care of converting regular PDF files to PDB files. I
Here is Adobe Reader for Palm OS page, there you'll find a link to download a Free AR for the Palm OS, which installs a PRC file in your Palm, but there is no mention of its counter part application for the desktop
Thanks in advance guys,

WN, thanks for the suggestion. I had just tried it actually. And it's a great alternative. But after using the other one, I can't help but notice how slow it is in my Palm TX. I think I would prefer to get the benefit of compressing/converting the files to PDBs. But no one seems to know where to get that application. I checked in my TX CD and I didn't find it.
If your TX installation CD does not "auto-run" and present you with a menu to install additional software (including Adobe Reader for Palm), you can find it on the disc using Windows Explorer at:
Palm CD > Int_English > Essential_software > Adobe Reader for Palm
In that folder is the installation (.exe) file which you run on your desktop. It installs the desktop app, and the .prc file gets installed to the quick installer during the process.
FYI...this software is slow and clunky on the handheld. The conversion process is imperfect, and particularly with files which I have produced myself using Acrobat Distiller (the part of Adobe Acrobat which lets you "print" to the distiller to create a .pdf file from anything), it sometimes doesn't even work.
The best .pdf viewer I have used on my handhelds is actually the upgraded version of Documents To Go, which handles native .pdf files pretty well. No conversion needed, just drop the files into your SD card, or Hotsync with Documents To Go desktop.

I need help finding a compatible and free adobe reader on my laptop vista

I need to know what Free Adobe Reader download is compatible with my Vista Laptop computer as I need the latest version because the Adobe Reader 7 no longer allows me to print the newer PDF documents that I am receiving so I uninstalled it and need to install a newer version. Please help........

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Drop down fields on Adobe reader for iPad

Hello,
Regarding using an order form in adobe reader for iPad, I am able to check boxes, free form text, etc. but drop down fields are not retaining selection. I will click drop down, make selection, and field is still blank. If I select the same drop down my choice is checked. When I email form the field remains blank.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Hello,
Thank you for the response. I am currently using Adobe 11.01. I believe I have found the problem. Our company utilizes an app names "Showpad" for our sales teams. Within Showpad you can open PDF's, however any interactive functionality is not available. To solve for this, you can open a PDF within Showpad and then "open with" a different app. In this case, I opened with Adobe Reader. It looks like all the functionality returns to the document minus that drop down issue I am experiencing.
I tried to open the same order form from my email using Adobe Reader and all functionality is available (including drop down).
It looks as though something is getting lost between the Showpad app and Adobe Reader app.

Need Help ASAP. Deleting Underline in Adobe Reader Touch.

I don't understand why it won't let me delete the strikeout or underline in my Adobe Reader Touch. There is no clear option when I highlight it and write click and the "Ctrl-delete" option is not working either. I need to get rid of both of these. Did them by mistake....simple task but so frustrated that I have spent 30+ minutes trying to figure this out. Please help.

thank you

Acrobat X Pro Drop-down Fields Do Not Appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Help!

Hello,
I am having a problem getting drop-down fields to appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Basically, I need to create a form that includes drop-down fields, with the end result being a form that can be viewed and completed on an iPad, using the Adobe Reader app. Above all else, the end result needs to be viewable on an iPad.
I created a form using Acrobat X Pro within which drop-down fields work flawlessly. However, when I try to open this form on an iPad, the drop-down fields do not even appear. I have done some investigating on the Web (including these forums) and come to understand that this has to do with javascript limitations on Apple products, but have yet to discover a solution to my problem.
To summarize: does anyone know how to make drop-down fields appear in Abobe Reader for iPad app? Or, does anyone know a workaround in which I could have a drop-down menu (or something similar) in my form and have it work on Adobe Reader for iPad?
Thanks in advance for the help. I took on this project from my boss' boss, so I'd really like to get this done for him.

Hello GKaiseril,
Thanks for the reply. I experienced the issue running the most recent version of the Adobe Mobile Reader app. I'm not sure I can convince the client to use anything else, but its worth a shot.
All I need is a simple drop-down list (multiple fields in the document) with 4 options that the user can select and submit as a form. Is this something EZ Pdf reader can do? Also, is EZ Pdf Reader free? (the reason I ask is I am an Android user and do not readily have access to a iPad).
Thanks again.

Adobe reader for iPad disappointed me

I cant beleive it, Forms, links, bottoms… don't work with Adobe reader for ipad. ¿Why?

Adobe Reader on desktop has a primary goal to open any valid PDF file, not matter how complex the contents. As such it uses a lot of resources and relies on certain platform features only found on desktop and laptop machines. The install footprint is huge, memory consumption is significant, but it doesn't matter.
Adobe Reader on mobile cannot currently get anywhere close to that - not only are the hardware resources not yet up to the task (storage, CPU power, RAM and GPU features are feeble compared to even basic laptops), but there are limitations imposed by the platform owners on which elements can be included. For example on iOS, Reader can't currently display PDF files that contain Flash content or embedded JavaScript, and since many forms rely on scripting (for calculated fields or submit actions) it's simpler right now to say "feature X is not supported" than support part of the feature and have a case-by-case response to every document. Since opening everything isn't an option, the mobile versions of Adobe Reader go for lightweight installers and fast performance, with a much-reduced feature set. You may not agree that's the correct line to take, but it's what Adobe are doing. I'm sure if the app had a 500MB install footprint, people would be up in arms even if it did open every file on the planet.
The Acrobat Family (including Reader) is an enterprise application group, so there are features in the new iOS app specifically intended to appeal to that type of user, such as integration with LiveCycle DRM. For enterprise, a simple, global "no" to a feature is much less strain on IT support than a complex "maybe".
What will happen in the future, I cannot say - but remember this is the first build for iOS, so it will certainly evolve over time. Personally I'd love to see forms support on the iPad, but done properly - AcroForms, XFA, scripting, signatures, etc. - and that's a huge challenge. I'd also love to see rich media and Flash support, but that's politics. I don't do politics.
Customer feedback is very welcome, positive or negative. It'd also be great to hear what types of documents people are viewing with the mobile apps, and what single feature they'd most like to see added.

Attach images in Adobe Reader for iPAd

Dear All,
In Actobat Reader for PC, we can attach images either using form with Button/Icon or Image Fields. Is there a way we can do the same thing in Adobe Reader for iPad?
Thanks,

The iOS Adobe Reader does not support attaching images using form fields. Thanks for contacting us!

Adobe reader for ipad don't save my annotation

hi
I just download Adobe reader for ipad, but when I mark some sentences in my document and I close adobe reader, my marks are all deleted.
I just wonna use my ipad to annotate some important thinks in mij schoolbooks, insted of printing my schoolbooks and mark everything with markers.
Are there some apps that can help me?
thobartus

I also highly recommend Goodreader! It is one of my best apps and has a superior file management system.

Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from e.g. dropbox)

Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from dropbox I can still see them after closing the app or switching documents)? I lost some valuable annotations while switching documents and apps over time. How do I save them? Only by sending it to dropbox for instance?

It saves the file when:
1) The app goes to background
2) A share action (open in, email, print) occurs
3) A form submit occurs
4) You close the document by going to "Home" or "Documents", or open another document
One issue that people encounter is that they open the file in a reader that does not support annotations (like the dropbox PDF view or the iOS Mail app). It doesn't sound like this is the case for you though, since you do see the annotations.
There is a known issue, where on a small number of documents with specific properties, we fail to save changes. This is an issue that we have fixed and will be in our next release. The release is currently pending approval by Apple. It's possible that you encountered this issue, and if so, I apologize.

HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses

My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

Adobe Reader for iPad : Want highlighting function kept ON please!!

I am using Adobe Reader for iPad.
While studying .pdf files, I would like to keep the highlighting function on,
until I'm done. That way I don't have to keep selecting it each time.
Thanks!!!

Hi Hollinst,
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion.
We have noted your request and have added it into our feature backlog. We can't say when they'll be available, but we're constantly looking to solve the problem our loyal users encounter.
Thanks

Adobe Reader for IPad Download Problem

I downloaded several files last evening but this morning I found them only in the 'recent' file and not in documents.
How can I move the files from recent to documents?
(I have a brand new iPad and the latest update of Adobe Reader for iPad.)
The only options on the 'open' menu are for iBooks, which is so unreliable that I downloaded Adobe Reader in the first place. (The files disappear in the middle of the download.)
I tried emailing to myself to then save the PDF from email, but the docs appear as text and pics within the email and are no longer an attached .pdf.
Any ideas?

I can't explain it, but whenever I have a problem with an iOS app, I close out and re-open.
You can also force quit an app (remove it from memory): Click the Home button to return to the Home screen. Double-click the Home button to view the recent app list at the bottom. Click and hold over the Adobe Reader icon to show the red "delete" icon. Click Adobe Reader again and it will disappear from memory.
Click the Home button and relaunch. That opens Reader up anew, and refreshes it.

Adobe Reader for Mac vs. Adobe Reader for iPad

Hi,
I have a problem with Adobe Reader for iPad. The pdf-file works perfect with Acrobat Reader on my iMac.
The pdf-file has an option to change a number of parameters in counting the total cost for owning a car.
Obviously, there is some interactivity function inbedded in the file.
When I opened the same pdf-file in Adobe Reader app for iPad the functionality is lost and it shows just
a blank page.
Has anyone an explanation of this problem or suggestions of a solution?
I have tried different pdf-apps i.e. Goodreader without any solution.
Can the problem be Flash-related?
Best regards
Janne
