  • Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

    Hello,

The files are allright, but if I select a file and click on preview mode after ~ 10sec operation system write something "Preview this file is corrupt for PDF Preview Handler wrong". On other 64bit computers with same programs the preview is work. I try uninstall all Adobe soft (Reader, Flash), clean all Adobe data from folders in root and in register, but it is not solve this problem. On Microsoft forums wrote me, that the problem is probably with AR plugin.
    So, can someone help me?

    Windows 7 32/64bit Pro

  • Why certain functionality works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in LiveCycle Preview PDF?

    I have some simple logic in a LiveCycle form that will hide a subform when I click a checkbox.  When I save as dynamic PDF and open in Adobe Acrobat 9, it works fine, but when I test the .xdp in LiveCycle Preview PDF it does not.  I'm new to JavaScript and have wasted some time troubleshooting what I thought was a problem, only to find out it was working.  Am I doing something that is not capatible with Preview PDF? 
    Attached below are images of hierarchy, design, and code.  I realize the hierarchy is more complex than it needs to be.  It is an excerpt I built to test this functionality, based on the full document.
    Thanks.
    form1.diag.Cervical.show::click - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue == 1) {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "visible"} else {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "hidden"}
    form1.narrative.Cervical.mre::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
    this.presence = "hidden";

    Did you made the form as Dynamic and Interactive in the preview..
         1) Goto File menu -> Form Properties and select Defaults tab. Change the Default Render Format as Dynamic XML form
         2) Select the Preview Tab. Set the Preview type as "Interactive Form" and Preview Adobe XML form as Dynamic XML form
         3) Finally while saving the PDF select Save As Type as "Adobe Dynamic XML Form".
    Thanks

  • Preview PDF tab unavailable on Designer 9 with Reader 9

    Hello,
    I just begin learning LifeCycle and I have a problem viewing the preview PDF tab in the designer.
    The problemlooks the the same as discribed ther : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331391.html
    But, I checked the solution and the check box they suggest to check is already checked.
    Can someone help me ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    In this situation it sometimes helps to open Reader (or Acrobat) first AND THEN open LC Designer.
    Not a full solution. If you search the forum, people have proposed more robust solutions.
    Good luck,

  • Table not showing up in Preview PDF

    Hello all,
    I am having an issue with a form that I am making in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES.
    The project that I am working on deals with making a standarized quoteing template to make getting quotes out faster and whatnot.
    The particular quote template that i am making will have the same information in the table for the Description column.
    So I made the table using the Insert Table wizard and added the information that will not change from quote to quote.  *I took actual info off for legal reasons*
    So I got the table looking the way i wanted it to, and thought great let me check it out in the "Preview PDF" tab.  So I clicked the preview tab and scrolled down to the table and only the headings show up  "/  *You will see this in the pictures below*
    In "Design View".
    In "Preview PDF".
    Any ideas?
    I would appreciate any help that you guys can give me!
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks pguerett,
    I sent over an email to the above address.  Thanks for your help.
    Hopefully this issue is solved for me soon
    Thank you

  • Runtime error in preview pdf tab for formdesigner.exe in acrobat pro x

  • Preview PDF crashes in LiveCycle Designer

    I'm new to LiveCycle designer and PDF development and am working through the first LiveCycle Designer tutorial. When I click on Preview PDF, LiveCycle crashes -
    MicroSoft Visual C++ Runtime Library -
    This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I am running on Windows 7, have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Reader 9.4.0 installed.

    Thanks. I tried that and it did not work. Ultimately I fixed it by uninstalling Reader and installing the latest version.

  • Error message "failed to load an application resource (internal error)" when checking form in LiveCycle preview PDF

    After creating a form, when I click on Preview PDF, I am now getting an error message "Failed to load an application resource (internal error)". Not sure why this has started recently, but it makes it impossible to check my forms for clients before I send them. I can open them outside of the program in Adobe Reader, but it is faster to check the form within LiveCycle and change them if necessary. Please help!

    I fixed mine! In Reader 9 and 10.0 I had disabled the ReadOutLoud feature as it kept popping up whenever it felt like it, and I don't need ReadOutLoud. What worked for me was first to purge the system of Reader 9 - the uninstall routine leaves stuff behind. Then I went into the Reader 10 program folder, located the plug_ins sub folder, and renamed it to oldplug_ins. Then I ran the repair routine which recreated the plug_ins subfoler.. All now works, except that the <expletive deleted> ReadOutLoud is up to its old tricks again, but I can live with that for now.
    Hope this helps.

  • Preview PDF file in SAP

    Dear All,
    I know how to creat PDF file in smartform but I want to preview PDF file in SAP instead of downloading on local drive so How can i do this?
    Regards,

    Not quite sure what you mean by preview (the actual PDF or the smartform you created?), but here is a FM for displaying a PDF from where you can download file to local drive.

  • LiveCycle Designer 8.0 preview pdf issue

    Is anyone having a problem when creating a form, then using the preview pdf to check the layout? Everything is showing up, but you can't do anything, such as filling in fields,drop down the lists, check radio buttons, etc. If I save the file, then open it up in reader, everything works as it should.
    Mark

    Hello Mark,
    It sounds like the PDF is rendered as a non-interactive form.
    1. Go to File | Form Properties.
    2. Click on the Defaults tab (could be Preview tab if using newer version of Designer).
    3. Set the Preview Type to Interactive Form.
    Does this resolve your problem?

  • Preview PDF grayed out

    I am using Designer for the first time, and I wanted to preview the PDF after I had added a few fields to a new form.  But when I go to turn on the View > Preview PDF tab the selection is grayed out.  I can publish the PDF and tehn look at it, but that's a pain.  I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0, and I selected that in the Properties - Default, but it is still grayed out.
    Help!

    Hi,
    Try starting Acrobat first (and have it in the background) then start up LC Designer.
    Also have a look at the preferences in Acrobat. The display in browser affects whether LC designer previews the form in LC or pushes it out to Acrobat.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Preview PDF causes fatal error

    Whenever I click on the Preview PDF tab, I get a visual c++ debug popup window saying that the program has terminated "abnormally".  Is there a known bug, or is this an isolated issue with my installation?  My work around is to just save the document and view the pdf in adobe reader.

    Hi,
    Do you work with the Designer opened for a long time ?
    Is your form too long ?
    Do you do frequent copy-paste operation in the script?
    Do you have many depenedent fields?
    If your answe to these question is yes, then there might be problem in your form. I have also experienced this kind of problems.Below are few discussions which may help you.

  • Preview PDF Tab Doesn't Work

    I have two installations of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro / LiveCycle Designer.  The preview tab doesn't work on either installation for LiveCycle Designer.
    My first machine is running XP Pro SP3 32-bit. When I click on the Preview PDF tab it previews, but I can't enter data into the fields when working on a static or dynamic pdf.
    The other machine is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  When I click on the Preview PDF tab it the machine tries to open the preview up in Adobe Reader, but never actually opens.
    What should I check?  Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I don't have the Windows 7 machine in front of me to test this on, but the XP machine behaves the same if I open up Reader or Acrobat before I click Preview PDF in LiveCycle. 

  • No Preview PDF tab in LiveCycle Designer

    I have both LiveCycle Designer ES3 and Adobe Pro 11 installed on my computer. I am unable to select the Preview PDF option from the View menu item and there is no Preview PDF tab next to the Design View tab like there used to be. I can't recall what could have happened, but I know I had it before.
    All I can find when I search on this issue is that I must have both LiveCycle and Adobe Pro or Adobe Reader installed. Like I said, I have Adobe Pro, so that isn't the issue.
    Can anyone help?
    thanks.

    Thanks. I tried that and it did not work. Ultimately I fixed it by uninstalling Reader and installing the latest version.

  • After the latest update 10.9.2 my macbook pro wont preview pdf in safari or chrome?

    After the latest update 10.9.2 on my macbook pro I cannot preview pdf in my browsers (safari and chrome), I can save the pdf and view it later though. As an example I cannot preview it in my gmail, instead of adobe little icon there is a question mark.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.
