Preview PDF white out issue.

I want to white out a couple of lines on a PDF form. White out. No box lines, no shadows. White. As in those lines disappear. What is the deal with the shadows? Is there a way to just have parts of a doc whited out?

It may be worth pointing out here that redactions in pdf files have been circumvented in the past quite easily. If you want to hide the line you need to delete it.

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

Why is Preview PDF greyed out only HTML available?

I can't seem to find how to change settings so I can change the preview option to PDF, can anyone help please?

You need to have either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat installed to use the Preview PDF feautre. Additionally, the preview pdf feature uses the Internet Explorer plugin, so make sure that is installed and functioning properly.

ES4. The option the preview PDF (F5) is greyed out.

I downloaded the trial for ES4 before purchasing it. I am using it with windows 8.1. The option the preview PDF (F5) is greyed out.

Do you have Adobe Acrobat installed? It is required for the preview capabilities.

Possible e17 issue: resizing windows causes "white-out"

not sure where this problem fits in the categories of the forum, so I figured I'd drop it here... I'm running e17 and recently I started experiencing a "white-out" problem whenever full-screening or resizing windows... so far, the only program that doesn't seem to suffer from this white-out is Opera... I'm not sure how to reproduce this error for anyone either... once the whiteout occurs, the window becomes generally inoperable (I think it's a screen draw issue, because if I know where things relatively are or should be, I can somewhat use the window... so the operations are all still there, I just can't properly see the window itself... closing and reopening fixes this, but nothing else works. Running via console does nothing as well...
oddly enough, when using gimp, resizing the image window doesn't affect the option windows that are also open... also, when opening xfe and resizing, the main window gets the whiteout effect, but when I close it, the dialog box that asks if I really want to close it looks completely normal... Please ask whatever questions are necessary to fix this issue... I'm thinking it may be an e17-only issue, but not sure... plan to log into xfce as well to see if I still experience the same thing...
ANY feedback would be nice...

I have the Early 2009 white Macbook and just began this same ordeal a few days ago. Nothing out of the ordinary to cause it, seemingly. I spoke with the authorized dealer here, and they told me it could be the display at $300 to repair, or anything else for less. Very frustrating.
I can lower the brightness to 0 and then increment 1-2 notches before it goes black again.

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?

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

LiveCycle 8 - Preview PDF

I have just installed Adobe Professional version 8 and found that even though Acrobat reader (the pro version) is loading fine with documents either locally or through a browser, LiveCycle 8 will not allow the use of the Preview PDF in the view settings. It is greyed out.
I have checked and the "file system browser" is checked in the tools, option, document handling, file management section of LiveCycle.
I also checked on the edit preferences section of adobe acrobat profession 8 (reader) to see if the browser option was selected there as well. It was.
I am at a loss to identify why I cannot use the Preview PDF in LiveCycle.
I have removed all free reader versions of adobe and have uninstalled and reinstalled as well as repaired the adobe pro installation with no positive results.
Please explain.

I had the same issue - drove me nuts!
Ended up solving it by:
opening Adobe Acrobat Professional, go into Edit menu, Preferences, Internet and the box that has Display PDF in browser may/may not be ticked.
If it isn't, tick it and save then go back into Adobe LiveCycle and should be ok. if it already is ticked, un-tick it and save, then go back in and tick again and save - don't know why this works, but it did for me.

On Microsoft forums wrote me, that the problem is probably with AR plugin.
So, can someone help me?

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 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.

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.
Amy

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

Preview pdf shows different borders/ top and bottom

in iphoto, made a book, the preview pdf is not matching the book created, in a way that some top and bottom borders are NOT bleeding off the page, however in the iphoto book layout the entire photo is bleeding off the page. any ideas on pdf? I'm wondering if the pdf is showing the trim and bleed crops.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. Here's the latest with my 'black borders top and bottom in iMovies' problem:
I found out that if I converted the .VOB files into .DV files (using MPEG Streamclip) instead of converting them to Quicktime files, then when I import these .DV files into iMovies the black borders are no longer there. So it seems like the problem was something to do with Quicktime files in iMovies.
But then there was another problem:
After waiting quite a while for MPEG Streamclip to finish it's work of converting the .VOB files into .DV files, and then waiting a bit longer to import the .DV files into iMovies, I was ready to work on editing the clips. But whenever I added either a fade in or fade out to a clip, I saw that during the time of the fade in or out, the picture was all distorted with thin vertical lines running through the entire picture.
So I had to do more trouble shooting:
I went back to MPEG Streamclip to have a little play around in there. When I made the .DV files before I used the compressor setting DVC Pro 50, so I changed this to the DVC Pro 25. I made a short .DV clip using this compressor and tried it out in iMovies and there was no problem with the vertical line distortion. Just to make sure I made another small .DV clip using DVC Pro 50 as before, imported that into iMovies and again, during the fade in/out effects this distortion came back again. So it seems like I sorted that problem out too.

Preview pdf files in Safari before potentially save them

In fact I have 2 questions:
when I do a web search if I click on a link to a pdf file, 2 things can randomly happen :
1 The pdf opens in a safari window and I can directly read it (that's what I want)
2 The pdf file is directly downloaded to my hard drive (and I may have to trash it if it turns out not to be as interesting as I thought)
My first question is: is there a way to always have the option 1 and never the second one?
Second question : Once (if) the pdf opens in a safari window, is there a way to DIRECTLY save it where I want? So far, the only way to do it I could find is from the safari pdf window, save the file to the "downloaded items" folder and then move it to the folder of interest. I can also from the safari pdf window open the file in preview and save the preview pdf document where I want.
In any case my 2 solutions appear complicated to me: is there a way to do that in a single step?

OK your command S option is working. I had tried Ctlr click instead (like I used to do in previous OS versions, and this was not bringing any "save option in the pop-up menu).
For the first question, here is an example of a web adress linking to a pdf file that directly downloads on my hard drive.
