    I am trying to open a file in pdf form and I keep getting ...there was a problem reading this document....any suggestions???

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting the issue; we would like to reproduce it at our end. Please give in the below information to investigate on this,
    1. The Linux distribution (Version of Linux) you are using.
    2. Are you opening the pdf from shared location? If yes, then how is the shared location mounted.
    It would help if you can send in the pdf you are trying to open. Please email the same to vaibhavp at adobe dot com or attach it on the forum.

  • Cannot open/view/access interactive pdf form using Safari

    I was unable to open interactive pdf forms from websites with Safari 6 on my iMac. I received the following message:

    I still couldn't view/open/access the form even after I upgraded to Version 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader.
    This problem happens only (I believe) after I updated OS X and Safari. Previously I was able to do it without any trouble as recently as July 2013. However, I don't encounter any issue if it is just an ordinary pdf document especailly if it can be downloaded to be opened later.
    As far as I can ascertain, I don't have any plug-in except for McAfee SiteAdvisor 2.0, 1Password 3.9.0, AdBlock 2.5.46 (which is disabled), Evernote Web Clipper 5.7, and Open In Internet Explorer 1.0 (by Parallels).
    I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5 (8536.30.1).
    Can anyone please help? Thank you.

    Thank you, Carolyn Samit and andyBall_uk, for your prompt responses and suggestions.
    Although I didn't follow your recommendations, they gave me some idea regarding what to do to resolve the issue.
    The solution is actually very simple. I uninstalled my existing Adobe Reader (using CleanMyMac 2 but I believe moving the app to trash should do it as well), downloaded a fresh copy (version 11.0.04) and reinstalled it again. When the software was being installed, it asked whether I wanted to make Adobe Reader (AR) the default PDF reader. I indicated OK and allowed installation to proceed and finish.
    After installation of AR, I reopened Safari and went to a website to click the link to the pdf form. And lo and behold, I was able to open/access/view the document! It worked with a second website.
    So the lesson is when installing an upgrade remember to make Adobe Reader the default PDF reader.
    I hope that this procedure can help others resolve their issue if they have a similar problem.

  • Opening and populating a PDF form with VBA code in Access 2007

    I had posted this in Acrobat Windows.  It was suggested this (and the SDK forum) may be a better forum ...
    I'm trying to load and then populate a PDF form programmatically using Access/VBA.  I'm patterning this after code that worked fine in Acrobat 5.0 but is throwing errors in Acrobat 9.  We're using Access 2007 on Windows XP and Vista computers.
    The Access project has a reference to Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library.  Attached is a jpg showing all the references in the Access project.
    The error "Object variable not set (Error 91)" is happening with this statement:
    Set PDDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc
    Here is the code I'm trying to use.  I've always been a little fuzzy exactly which objects need to be created and the sequence they need to be created in.  Once I got it working in Acrobat 5 I left it alone.
        Dim WshShell As Object
        Dim myApp As Acrobat.AcroApp
        Dim AVDoc As Acrobat.AcroAVDoc
        Dim PDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
        Dim PauseTime, Start
        Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
        ' run the Acrobat application within that shell and pass it a document name
        WshShell.Run "Acrobat.exe C:\Users\Christian\Documents\data\dist5\dist05_face_only_nh.pdf"
        '// Set/Get Acrobat Objects
        ' create an automation object that references the active copy of Acrobat
        Set myApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        ' reference the acrobat document we loaded above
        'Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
        Set AVDoc = myApp.GetActiveDoc()
        ' this apparently runs some method available to AVDOC
        Set PDDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc      '<------------------ THIS IS THE LINE THROWING THE ERROR
        ' this is how you reference the JSObject
        Set jso = PDDoc.GetJSObject
        ' let's clear the form
        temp = jso.resetForm()
        Set x = jso.getField("txt1_name")
        x.Value = "Bing Crosby"
        Set x = jso.getField("txt2_sex")
        x.Value = "Male"
        Set WshShell = Nothing
        Set myApp = Nothing
        Set AVDoc = Nothing
        Set PDDoc = Nothing
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Using the "Developing Applications Using Interapplication Communication" reference, I've been filling in knowledge gaps and baby-stepping until I hit this major wall.  FYI:  from page 22 in the reference
    Example 2.6 Displaying “Hello, Acrobat!” in the JavaScript console will not work as shown in Access VBA.  I've tried the example in both Access 2003 and 2007.  The sample code as is throws error 91 (see attachment error91.jpg), "Object variable ... not set".
    I add Set to the following 3 lines:
        Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
    Running the code after adding "Set" doesn't throw an error but it does crash Access every time.  (see attachment error_reporting.jpg)
    Any suggestions?
    Here's the entire code snippet:
    Private Sub cmdHelloAcrobat_Click()
        Dim gApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
        Dim gPDDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
        Dim jso As Object
        Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        If gPDDoc.Open("C:\chris\acrobat_test.pdf") Then
            Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
            jso.console.Show
            jso.console.Clear
            jso.console.println ("Hello, Acrobat!")
            gApp.Show
        End If
    End Sub

  • Is it too much to ask that a Mac user can just OPEN and USE a PDF form created by LiveCycle Designer PC software?!?

    My problem is just that- I have created all my forms using LiveCycle Designer because it is easier to make the forms accessible to individuals with disabilities.  Apparently it doesn't make Mac users have access to the forms.  I've received complaints from Mac users that cannot complete or submit the forms that I created.  I'm not asking how to recreate using another software, I know how to do that.  I'm asking is there a work around to allow a Mac user to open a PDF form or even XML (bedded within an HTML page) on a Mac computer WITHOUT having to use bootcamp, parallels, etc. and be able to complete the form and submit, print or email it?????  I've exhausted all my knowledge on this thus far and I'm hoping to find something that will help.  So far all forums talk about how Mac users need to have a PC side to their computer.  Isn't there another way?
    I've attached an example form that we are no longer using (though still created exactly the same as the others)
    Thanks!

    Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
    -bind_at_load
                     Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols                when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
    Load resources lazily.
    You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.

  • Automatically opening Acrobat reader when PDF form is downloaded

    Hello.
    Hope we are all well.
    I am wondering if there was a  way to have the PDF form open up automatically in Acrobat Reader when the customer downloads it. Unfortunately I am dealing with people who aren't that internet savvy and usually impatient about it (they are tradies, mainly plasterers), so when they download the PDF form and try to open it, the web browser will try to open the PDF in another page making the "submit" button to stop working. Is there any tricks to bypass the browser from doing this so I can have it opened directly by acrobat reader if it is already installed on their pc? Cheers.

    That's a shame. I have put a description on the page explaining (with a link) they will have to open in Acrobat for the submit button to work. I was hoping there might be a script to stop the browser trying to open the PDF form instead of Acrobat. Thanks for your reply .

  • I can not open a filled out pdf-form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    I have a form in Indesign CS 5.5 and made it fillable with Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I enabled the 'additional features' to make the document a 'Reader extended pdf'. Whoever I send the form now, can fill it out and save it in (the free version of) Adobe Reader.
    Problem is: when the recipients mail the filled out form back to me, I can not open the document. There is message that says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    However, when I receive the filled-out file not by email (MS Outlook on a IMac) but on a USB-stick or something, I can manage to open the document the way it was filled out.
    I'm guessing something goes wrong in the mailing process...
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice!
    I'm afraid though that the problem is situated with the provider of the sender (when I open the email with my hotmail or gmail-account, it' s the same problem).
    The idea of compressing the forms into zip-files is not very usefull because - i'm guessing - 90% of the recipients have never heard about a zip-file and are surely incapable of making one.
    Some other ideas?
    Thank you though!

  • Print size does not default to form size when printing PDF form.

    So, we have created an interactive new client form for our firm. The form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 and is set to legal size (8.5 x 14). After the form was completed and exported, it was filled out for testing and printed. During the printing process it was noticed that in the print dialog box, the dimentions for the form were wrong. It showed that the default document size was 8.5 x 11. Where and how is this changed in LC?
    A new form was created (starting from scratch) with the document settings set to legal again, and inside of LC in the PDF preview panel, I tried to print and the same thing occured.
    Please advise as how to set the document to its default size when printing without have to do it in the print dialog box.

    The print dialog doesn't display the forms dimensions but those of the currently selected paper format of your printer.
    If you change the page format in the printer driver the diemensions in the preview will change too.

  • Updating a PDF form document

    If I create a new PDF document with a series of form fields and then need to update, e.g. the word document is changed to include or change fields, can I update the existing PDF without having to re-do all the fields

    Hi cammic3319
    Yes you can change the word document, then make a new PDF then replace the form with the fields with the new PDF.
    If you are careful and do not change the position of the fields then it will fit right in.
    If you change or add fields then with Acrobat you will have to rearrange the fields to match.

  • How do I fill out a PDF (form) document online?

    I have downloaded a PDF to fill out, some of the PDF's are greyed out in the spaces that need to be filled out, other forms don't have the greyed out bit, is there some way I can get it to grey out so I can fill it out online without having to print it and do it with ink?

    If the fields are greyed out then that is how the author of the form intended it to be. It may be a form that can only be filled in by printing and using ink.
    If the author intended it to be interactive then you would be able to type in this fields.

  • I receive this message when opening a multi-page PDF form:

    There was a problem reading this document (14)
    Is 14 an error code? If so, what is the error?

    If you have acrobat pro 8, you can add pages to an existing pdf. For the insert page type in *.ai then acrobat will see the ai files and load them.
    Its up to you if you want to delete the old page, before or after inserting the new page.

  • Converting a pdf form to pdf doc so it can't be altered.

    I have a pdf form that I use to complete test reports for the city.  I then need to send that completed form to the customer and city but I want to send it as a pdf document so it can't be altered.  How can I do this?  I use to be able to print to Create PDF but now it's not available so I have tried this Create PDF online but still can not get it to save as just a pdf doc.

    Hi Diego237,
    If I understand you correctly you have a fillable PDF form that you fill with some report information, then you send that PDF form to customers via email, but you don’t want them to be able to altering it.
    You may use Adobe Acrobat to set/change restrictions for your PDF document – to specify what your customers could do with the document. For that just execute the following steps:
    1. Open your already filled PDF form document in Acrobat
    2. Chose File> Properties, select Security tab in Document Properties dialog.
    3. Choose Password Security in Security Method popup menu – it opens “Password Security – Settings” dialog. In Permissions area Select check-box “Restrict editing and printing of the document.
    4. In “Printing Allowed” drop down menu specify allowed printing options
    5. In “Changes Allowed” drop down menu specify “None” or otherwise whatever you want your customers be able to do with your PDF form.
    6. You need to provide password (for you to remember so that only you will be able to change that document again when needed),
    7. You need to Save that document for your new restricted permissions to take effect.  Then close and reopen the document – and verify permissions in Security tab of the Document Properties dialog. And if that’s what you intended – you could email that PDF document to your customers
    Now if you don’t have Adobe Acrobat yet but only free Reader, you would need to download a free trial version of Acrobat XI  Pro from here.
    And if that solution is working for you, please check out Adobe Acrobat Plus pages:
    https://www.stage.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
    on how you could upgrade your CreatePDF subscription to Acrobat Plus subscription to allow you full right to download and use Acrobat XI Pro desktop application on your computer further on.

  • I used Preview to fill in a .pdf form. I saved it, re-opened and saw my annotations. When I attached it to an email, the annotation and filled-in materials were no there. What's happening?

    Having been gently chided by "How to write a good question," I offer additional information as a preamble to my question.
    I am writing about Preview 7.0 (826.4) on Mavericks 10.9.4; my computer is a MacBook Pro, late 2011 model with not modifications.
    I used Preview to fill in a .pdf form and saved it. To check, I re-opened the form and saw all the info I had filled in. However, when I attached it to an email, the info was not there; the form contained none of the info I had added. I re-did the form several times, but the results were the same when I attached it to email. What's going on?
    Here's a secondary matter. When I filled in the form, the print was red and the type too large. Though I went into fonts, etc. and selected a type size and color black, the info I added was still red and the wrong size. Again, how do I manage color, size, and font?

    Form document will automatically be saved after closing the file. As far as cloud message is concerned, it seems your Mobile link setting has been turned on. When you pressed device back button after filling the form, it was saved to your Acrobat.com account. You can access this document by going to Acrobat.com tab present in left pane. Its a cloud storage area where you can upload/save any document.
