PDF forms not displayed in IE8

Hi!
IE8 is out and our portal based on LiveCycle workspace is unable to render PDF to clients. What I can do is switch IE8 to compatibility mode. But it don't seems to be good solution for this kind of product.
Also Firefox 3 has problem with submit buttons. I cannot say to my managers that people should use old browsers
Please let me know about some solution.
Thanks,
--- Jaroslav

Workspace and Acrobat do NOT get along with IE8, even in "compatibilty mode." I've had a lot of session issues in Workspace running IE8 as well as PDF rendering issues. I'm not saying it isn't possible to use IE8, but it may be easier to just switch browsers. I've found IE7 and surprisingly Google Chrome 2.0 work very well with Workspace.

ADS configuration error - PDF form not displaying for Java WebDynpro

Hi Experts,
Sub : Problem with configuring Adobe Document Services
We have installed .. NW2004s SP12 on HP-UX OS.
As of now all the services are working fine, recently started configuring "Adobe Document Services", followed all the instructions given in the guide.
Environment :
=============
- Configuring ADS Webservice for "BASIC" Authentication, not for SSL
- Poratl (AS JAVA) and BI (AS ABAP) are running in different systems.
- Portal using UME as the data storage.
- OS is HP-UX
Configuration Check for Interactive Forms in Web Dynpro for Java
=================================================================
1. Checking the User and Password ---
http://<server>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config -- the system displays the version number of the Adobe document services in the response area.
2. Configured Webservice for Basic Authentication -- success
In the process of testing this configuration -- i've developed a Java Webdynpro interactive form and deployed into my DEV server (NW2004s Sp12).
Unfortunately, form is displaying in my sneak preview version (Nw2004s SP9), getting error when deployed into Dev server - NW2004s SP12 on HP-UX.
We haven't installed ADS separately, making use of ADS comes with the default installation.
Error :
=======
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Reatimed out
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF
I found that the following directory is empty in DEV server ... /usr/sap/EPL/JC03/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/XMLFormService, but not in sneak preview version.
Please do let me know to solve the problem.
Thanks

Thanks for quick response.
Installed Reader in my PC, i can view the deployed interactive form thru sneak preview, but getting the following error when running the same application thru my development server.
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Reatimed out
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF
I've installed Adobe Reader in the client PC not is the server system.

PDF will not display in an IE browser window

I have the following setup:
Windows Vista Business w/ SP2
Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.6001.18813)
Adobe Reader 9 (9.1.3)
When accessing a PDF document using IE8, the PDF will not display in an IE browser window. Instead, the PDF opens in a new Adobe Reader window.
When accessing the same PDF in Firefox or Chrome, the PDF appears in the browser window.
I have tried repairing Adobe Reader using the Help>Repair Adobe Reader Installation menu, both by running Adobe Reader as an admin and not. I have confirmed that Adobe Reader "Internet" preference "Display PDF in Browser" option is enabled (checked). I have enabled/disabled this preference without affect. The PDF document is always opened in it's own Adobe Reader window.
I have tested this using different PDF documents served up by different servers. The result is the same. The PDF document is always opened in it's own Adobe Reader window.
How can I get the PDF to open in an IE8 browser window?
I look forward to any suggestions offered.

Hi Carolyn,
I am experiencing the same symptoms as gaijindragonslayer described above, and my Internet Plug-ins folder is empty. I would like to have Preview as my default pdf reader, but am unable to view a pdf in Safari at all right now -- I have to download the pdf and then open it with Preview separately in order to view it.
What else might cause this?
Thanks for your help.

Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed

Hi All,
Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed (shows; unkown publisher) in Adobe Digital Editions. The Adobe Acrobat Professional does not have "Publisher" field to add Publisher name; it facilitates user to provide "Title", "Author", "Subject" and "Keywords" into the Document Properties (Ctrl+D)
Some one please guide, to get Publisher name in "item info" for PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
Cheers
Vikas

For PDF the Publisher name comes only from the encryption information that is included when a PDF file is packaged for use by Adobe Content Server. If this information was not included at packaging time there is no end user method for adding it in after the fact.

Edited pdf does not display properly

I scanned in doc to a .pdf. It displayed properly on iPad (iBooks). I added some text using preview. It did not display when reading it to iBooks. Thinking it was a layering issue, I "Flattened" the file with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and freaked it to iBooks. Still does not display the added text. Added text is displayed by Adobe Reader for iPad. How do I get the iBooks program to properly read an edited .PDF? Is it really necessary to print and rescan the .PDF each time? Can I add the text in IBooks?

Stick with Adobe Reader. iBooks will not and cannot display form fields or edited text in a PDF as you have learned. You cannot add text in iBooks either. You can't change that. The built in mail app is also incapable of displaying edited PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust and feature rich than iBooks, which I'm sure you have already seen for yourself.
iBooks pales in comparison as a useful PDF tool. i think that you will be much better off using Adobe Reader.

PDF does not display correctly

Issue: One of our website page displays a PDF form filled with data retrieved from database. The PDF file displays perfect in IE browser, but the PDF form was blank in Firefox browser - can not see the filled data at all in Firefox browser nor in print-out from Firefox.
I installed the most recent version of Firefox PDF viewer 0.8.1 add-on, and played with different options under the menu "options/Portable Document Format (PDF), but no luck to solve the above issue.
I noticed that not only our website, but also some government websites have the same issue display data filled PDF.
Anybody can help me out to resolve this issue?
Many thanks!

This may well be a limitation of the JavaScript-based PDF Viewer. It currently does not support all the feature of the Adobe plugin (or stand-alone version of Adobe Reader). You can test that theory using the steps in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
While an end user can switch around among viewers by changing their Firefox options, unfortunately there currently is no way for websites to detect which viewer is in use and assist visitors in a personalized manner. I think for now you may need to recommend that Firefox users use the above article for assistance if more complex PDFs do not render as expected.

PDF form template displaying multiple sets of data loaded from xfdf

Hello
I would like to use PDF Forms with data stored in xfdf files.
Is it possible to create pdf form (template) for displaying and printing multiple sets of data stored in xfdf?
For example: pdf form contains 2 sets of data. Form field names: F_1 and F_2.
I have 7 sets od data. All I need is to create pdf and xfdf that can be displayed in PDF reader and printed
as document consisting of 4 the same pages containing different data in form fields loaded from xfdf file.
(something similar to Mail merge in MS Office Word).
How it would be done? Is it possible to make such pdf, xfdf?
If yes, where I can find examples (tutorial) of creating such forms, please?
Thanks.
J. Jas

It is possible but not just a simple import of data.
Each form field in the multiple page PDF would need a unique name not repeated on another page of the PDF. Fortunately the Acrobat form standard includes the "template" object and this object can be spawned or used to add a new page with the form fields automatically renamed with a prefix string of the page number and template added to each form field on the new page. So if one were to import a row from your tab delimited file into the template, one could then spawn a new page from the template with the data and rename the fields so there would be no conflict of like named fields.

With newer versions of Acrobat there is a mail merge feature.

PDF form response display

I'm pretty new to all of this, but here is what I'm trying to do:
I work at a research facility, and we are wanting to be able to send PDF surveys and forms to people, and then let them click on an http submit button that will send the data to a JEE5 servlet that will persist the data into our database, so we can reduce manual entry.
We made a simple PDF form in LiveCycle Designer 8, and I have the servlet working fine, in that it takes all of the information and and persists it to the database. the only thing left is we want to give the user some sort of results to let them know that the data was entered, and if possible show them some generated content, such as a score or results or something. The "preview pdf" window in the LiveCycle Designer can read html fine, so it shows everything as we want. However, plain adobe reader cant, it pops up an error saying "Cannot handle content type: text/html". Now the data is entered into the database fine, but the user thinks there was an error.
I found an opensource java api (iText) that can generate pdfs and send them out in the response stream. Normal browsers recognize it fine, saving a pdf that can then be opened in adobe reader, but adobe reader still thinks its a text/html stream, and the LiveCycle Designer thinks the new pdf has not pages.
if I could get the reader to display some sort of results page, that would be great, but really I would be satisfied with as little as the pop up window saying "Data submitted successfully".

Derrick,
I don't think this is quite the right LiveCycle forum. This is for the Data
Services part of LC, formerly known as the Flex Data Services. This is the
back-end server that works with Flex client applications.
I would try the Forms forums.
