Open online PDF form

When I want to open an online PDF document, all I get is a tiny black square box in the upper left corner. Please can someone help me make this work?  I have installed and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI.  I have "accepted" the license agreement in Eula.  Unable to find Protected mode.  HELP!!!

  • How do I complete online .pdf form and then print?

    Sometimes, I can enter data on an online .pdf form and sometimes, I cannot.  I need to complete forms and then print them rather than print a blank form to complete by handwriting.  Window XP and Vista on my computers.  I have installed some Adobe and Acrobat programs but do not know which ones would help me with my problem.  thank you

    Adobe is the company. I assume you are talking about Reader and Acrobat. It would be nice to know which ones, but the answer is likely the same. With Reader, you can only complete the form electronically in Reader if the creator added from fields for your to fill in. If not you have one option and that is to print. You could still play with filling it out electronically, but you would have to print the form, put it back in the printer, and use your word processor to place the information on the form. This is a bit time consuming and requires some measuring and possibly some trial and error, but it does work - I used to fill forms out like this all the time, but generally forms I filled out once a month and so it was worth the time.
    With Acrobat, you can use the Typewriter tool, Use the Text Touchup Tool (not real convenient) with the ctrl key used when you place the cursor, or create your own fields. Depending on your version of Acrobat, you may not be able to create form fields (like AA7 Std and before I think, Pro includes the form tools). With forms, you may also have the choice of the form files under TOOLS>Advanced Editing (typically called AcroForms) or the FORM menu that typically takes you to Designer.
    Those are your choices, though there are variations with version (next time try to tell us the program version you are using and if it is Reader or Acrobat - for Reader you may want to go to the Reader forum).

  • How to open a pdf form with fdf data

    Hi all,
          I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
    I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
    http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
    But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
    Can anyone know any other way to do this?
    Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
    Thanks in advance
    Annamalai

    @ Bernd. It still opens a text file
    Here's my FDF file sample
    %FDF-1.2

    (I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
    Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
    ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
    ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
    this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
    I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
    I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
    and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

  • Cannot open online pdf

    I "upgraded" to Firefox 4 today, and I'm now unable to open online pdf documents. They start to load (Acrobat appears, and I start to see a small portion of the document), and then the screen within that tab goes blank. This did not occur in the previous version of Firefox, and it does not occur with Internet Explorer.
    Basics:
    * I'm running Windows XP
    * I have Adobe Reader 7.0
    * I do not have Adobe Pro, or any paid version
    * Adobe's "preferences>internet" is set to "display pdf in browser"
    * In Firefox "tools>applications," Adobe document is set to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)"
    How do I fix this?

    RESOLVED
    I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
    1) - Libre Office - latest update.  This is a fork of Open Office.  (unlikely)
    2) - ManyCam video manipulation software  (likely)
    Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive.  When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!).   When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
    I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
    This resolved the problem 100%.
    So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems.  They may be running or installing an older version.  In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
    Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
    Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project.  Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well.  In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
    So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens.  In my case that fixed the problem.

  • Can I  use excel type functions embedded into an online pdf form, ie Qty x Price= total $

    Can I use excel type functions embedded into an online pdf form, ie Qty x Price= total $

    Let me tell you what I am sure about and what I am not sure about:
    I am sure that I want to be able to sell my products online. The industrial market that I sell to usually do not allow the maintenance people that find me on the web, do not have the ability to use credit cards in a typical shopping cart format due to the higher prices that the equipment I sell costs and that most people call me up to 'request a formal quotation' to give to their purchasing depart. So, my bright idea is to create numerous pdf files with very specific url's to match the very specific items that I sell. (1) item per pdf. I am thinking that the advantage to skipping the shopping cart approach and allowing the customer to fill in the qty of items, which would be mulitpled by the price of the item (a constant #) and then hitting a apply button, that would calculate subtotal price. Discounts for the qty the customer inputs (qty of items inputted by customer would be discounted on a percentage x base price) and a refresh the screen. It would allow for SEO advantages from what I have seen in the past in my very vertical market. All forms would be setup using the same functionality, just images, alt text, urls, and readable text would change.
    What I don't know- which is alot, then how to calculate shipping costs. I have a weight per item, which can be added up. I saw an Adobe blog that allows UPS shipping cost to be programmed in. I don't know how dreamweaver works, which was what the blog mentioned would allow for this updated, instantanious interface with UPS and calculating real shipping costs to a specific zip code. Shipping cost would be fluff to this page. The main thing would be to do allow the customer to be able to fill in a qty of the specific item on the page, calculate a discount if / then type thing, be able to have customer email to purchasing dept or print. I would date stamp it with verbage that pricing is valid for XX days and if I could get a copy emailed to me that would be icing on the cake. I believe that this non static pdf would be something different then the current competion and that it would allow for 100's of quotes to be generated without customers having to wait 15 minutes to an hour for me to process the exact document that they are looking for.

  • I have the current Reader but am having trouble opening online pdfs

    I have the current Adobe Reader installed but am running into an issue opening online PDF docs.  My computer says "This PDF document might not be displayed correctly.  Open with a Different Viewer."
    I tried today and got this message:
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade
    to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
    For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
    On Mozilla Firefox Browser 21.0
    How can I correct this please?

    In Firefox, type "about:config" (minus the quotes) in the address bar.
    A window will open with a warning.
    Click "It's OK, I'll be careful" and open the configuration window.
    Type "js" (again, minus the quotes) in the search bar at the top.
    In the results you'll see "pdfjsviewer disabled" with a value of "true".
    Right click "true" and toggle it to "false".
    Close the configuration window.
    In Firefox options (Tools>Options for Windows - Firefox>Preferences for Mac), under the Applications tab:
    Locate Portable Document Format (PDF) or Adobe Acrobat Document(PDF)
    Click the drop down on the right and select Adobe Reader  as the app to preview in Firefox.
    This will disable Firefox's built in PDF viewer and enable Adobe reader's plugin for viewing PDFs.

  • Can't open a pdf form

    Tried to open a form in pdf but it keeps telling me to install the latest version to see it. I had already installed it so i uninstalled it and installed it again but it still wouldnt open. Pdf files are also set to open with adobe and i have no problem opeining other pdf forms.
    Any help would be great thanks?

    I have recently been updated to ES4 and upon completion of a simple edit to a ES3 version of a form - emailed PDF version of blank form document to myself.
    Mobile device iPad and iPhone  Exchange Service and Gmail clients / OWA / and PC based Gmail Web Clients all display Please Wait...  image inserted to this reply.
    Note:  Immediate work around on PC is simple - save file and open via local Windows Explorer (MAC file explorer)  view of file with Adobe Reader or Pro and form appears unchanged.
    This does however leave more mobile customers customers confused. 
    I could not in any manner get the file to display as anything but the image here on my Apple devices , even with iBooks and the Adobe Reader 11.6.0 (98775) tool.
    All other PDF files I have sent to these same clients are readable - so this must me relative the LiveCycle Designer file formating of the pdf file in XML.
    This was simple to check - New form , use blank , save - Untitled1.pdf Adobe Dynamic  XML form (*.pdf)
    If the document is save as a Static PDF form  there is no display issue....
    Please advise

  • HOW TO KNOW WHAT APPLICATION HAS OPEN A PDF FORM

    Hello,
    I would like to know how I can verify that application has opened a certain PDF form (for example Reader or Professional). This checking must be done from the same form when the document is opened (using JavaScript for example).
    b Thank you for your time.

    Have you seen the example that Lori DeFurio has posted on the developer site to do just this? The javascript example in the form works in both Acrobat and LiveCycle Forms. A sample of the results are:
    Viewer Version = 7.05
    Viewer Type = Exchange-Pro
    Major Form Version = 7
    Minor Form Version = 7.07

  • Prevent Mac users from opening a PDF form in Preview

    When I create an AcroForm, it does not behave the same when someone fills it out in Preview, and when I receive the completed form back from them, some of the information in the form fields is missing.
    Is there a way to prevent Mac users from opening the form in Preview? Or to give them a message that the form needs to be filled out using Reader?

    You can't stop them doing it (except by standing next to their computer with a heavy stick).
    You could consider having a large field on the page warning that the file is not to be used (or whatever), which is hidden using Acrobat JavaScript.
    Be aware that we are now dealing with a very large set of PDF readers.
    Included with computers: Mac OS Preview, Windows Reader.
    Included with browsers: Chrome, Firefox.
    Included with portable devices.
    Anyone who gets a computer these days in fact gets a PDF viewer which is bad with forms. You need to give them a compelling reason to download extra software. (Or, frankly, give up on PDF forms. I think their day has passed for a general audience who could fill in a browser form).
