.pdf works in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8

I have a dynamic .pdf that I created in Livecycle Designer.
It works perfectly in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8.
There is a function that highlights a form field orange. It is called from the enter event of every form field.
There is another function that highlights a form field red if the field contains an invalid value. This is called from the exit event of every form field.
When I enter a field in Reader 8, it highlights orange as it should but does not allow me to enter a value and it adds an additional blank page to the .pdf. Also, it does not highlight red as it should on exit.
If I remove the enter script, the exit script works fine.
I sent the .pdf to somebody to test and it worked perfectly for him in Reader 8.00 but not for me in 8.00 or 8.01 which makes me think maybe it is just a problem with my settings.
Can anybody help?
Thank you.

Okay, I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 8.1 and the .pdf fails there now too.
So my problem is not an inconsistency between Acrobat and Reader, it is that the .pdf works in the earlier 8.0 but not the latest 8.1.
I am happy to send the .pdf to anybody who wants to see it. Hopefully the problem is with my code and not the update.
Thanks.

Javascript works in Acrobat Pro but not in Reader

Hello,
I have created a form in Acrobat Pro that works fine in Pro and seems to work in reader. However, when I open it on the site and it loads up in the browser window the form then messes up when it gets to any one of these 2 scripts:
1.
var a=this.getField("Parking Passes")
if (a.value>=1)
{event.value=1}
else
{event.value="0"}
2.
var a=this.getField("Additional Passes")
if (a.value>8)
{event.value= (a.value-8)*25}
else {event.value="0"}
After one of these scripts is processed then the field for script 2. (a total of this script) is summed with other fields and the total field goes to only the amount of the script 2. field. What can I do to fix this. It seems to work outside of the browser when I open it in reader or acrobat pro but never in the browser window?
Thank you!
Joe

I was just asking where those scripts are located.
You can configure Chrome to use Reader instead of its built-in viewer: http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2010/12/use-adobe-plugins-to-view-pdfs-inside-google-chrome /

Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
Thanks

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

PDFs display correctly in Acrobat Pro, but not in Reader?

I receive files from printers for UV coating their jobs at our facility. On rare occasions the PDFs I receive display one way in Reader, and another way in Acrobat. Text that is missing--or showing up as faint outlines in Reader--displays correctly in Acrobat Pro. Then, when I go to RIP the file (and it is a PDF workflow), the text is missing there as well. We end up having to pay a service bureau to output a film positive, so it's a bit frustrating. I suspect it has something to do with transparency. I would appreciate any ideas from veteran prepress folks out there.

Change your preferences Edit > Preferences > Page Display Use Overprint Preview to Always.
These sound like Spot UV plates/colors and would be designed with Overprinting
Are you also looking at the Seperations/Output Preview? (Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview Simulate Overprint can also be toggled there.)

Html link to pdf works ok on mac but not on ipad. adobe reader for ipad downloaded.

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
. This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
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.

I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy. Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

Websites will convert to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 but not Adobe Acrobat XI

Hello,
We have noticed that there are several websites that can be concerted into a PDF using Adoble Acrobat 9, but do not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. An example is the website http://amseventsubc.com/. This site converts with no problems using Adobe Acrobat 9, but will not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. When one tries to convert the website (by going Create > PDF from Web Page > Capture Multiple Levels > Get entire site > Create) it starts to work for about 10 minutes but then stops and crashes the program.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to fix this problem?
Is there any reason why a website would work in an older version of Acrobat and not the most recent?
Thanks for your help!

Hi, we are actually not looking to have active links but rather to have the content from each link saved as part of the PDF (We are looking to convert the entire website's content to PDF). On Adobe X you can normally append any link so that its content will be converted and added to your PDF, however, this can't be done with XML links.

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but now NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update. The printer worked previously with NO PROBLEMS. The printer is online & connected to the WiFi, not issues.
WHY???!!!???

You probably would get better answers in either the iPhone or iOS forums. This is for Macbooks. I've asked the hosts to move it.

Could you be more specific about "it doesn't work?" Where exactly are you seeing the problem and what exactly is happening?

Simple JS works in Acrobat 7, but not 8 - why?

I have a simple form with 2 fields: "myname" and "phone". "myname" is a drop down list populated with 3 names. I want to be able to populate the "phone" field with a phone number corresponding to the "myname" field automatically.
I have the following JS attached to the calculate event of the myname field. This works perfect in Acrobat 7.0.9, but does not work at all in Acrobat 8.0 professional or Adobe Reader 8. Does anyone know why?
switch (myname.rawValue){
case "Beth Voigt" :
phone.rawValue = "431-3833";
break;
case "Bobbie Hartfiel" :
phone.rawValue = "431-2019";
break;
case "Dave Brown" :
phone.rawValue = "431-2448";
break;
default : phone.rawValue = "";
event.newText = myname.rawValue;

I was just asking where those scripts are located.

.osx file extension works on MacBook Pro but not Mac Pro

So I have a file that was created, I believe in Macromedia Flash (not certain) but it has a .osx extension on it. It works just fine on my MacBook Pro, but won't work on a Mac Pro. Both have Leopard, both have most of the same software on them... Can anybody offer any help?

jaypie77,
First, you must identify the application that created the file. If it truly was Macromedia Flash, fine. Once you know which app created the file, make certain that the same application exists on the Mac Pro. If it does, set the file to open in that application: Open a Getinfo window for the file, then use the "Open With..." dialogue to choose Macromedia Flash (or the correct application) to open the file.

MagSafe Adaptor works on MacBook Pro but not MacBook

I have a MagSafe 60 Watt adaptor that will not work on any of our 1 year old Black MacBooks but will work on my MacBook Pro 17" and my other workers 15" MacBook Pro. Has anybody ever had this happen? I have tried it on at least 8 MacBooks and no go. Thanks, Billy

Have discovered that the MagSafe adaptor also works on a white, but will not work on a Black MacBook. Apple replaced it but it still puzzles me.

USB Card reader works on MacBook Pro but not Mac Pro

I have a random "All-in-1" card reader from Quantaray. I'm trying to mount my CF card because it takes forever and a day to import HD video directly from my Canon 5D Mk II.
It works on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010). Both computers are running 10.6.8. All I have to do is plug it in and it appears on the desktop on my Macbook. But not on my Mac Pro.
I've already tried resetting the PRAM and SMC. No dice
It shows up in the System Profiler under the USB High Speed port as a usb card reader but I can't find it anywhere; not even in Disk Utility.
Any ideas?
Thanks
