Problem view PDF Form in Chrome

Hi all,
I have a short-lived process to return the PDF to the client.
With IE and Firefox, it works fine, i.e I can view the PDF in the browser.
With Chrome, I see this message:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF
viewer may not be able to display this type of document.

In one machine with Adobe Reader 9.4.0, I can view it in Chrome.
In other machines with Adobe Reader 9.4.1 and Adobe Reader X I cannot view it in Chrome.
Which can be the cause of the problem?

Problem with PDF form

Hi Everyone,
I am developing one application in which i want to use PDF form functionality. But when i am adding new interactive form child. but at that time this pdf form's xdp file is not generating and therefore whatever changes i made in pdf form by editing it can's save. i got blank pdf form each time i go to edit that form.
Same thing is properly work in other applications as well as new applications. And it gives such error in one perticular application only.
I can't understand why this happening. My Developer studio is of full version 2.0.10.
Anybody has idea about this?
thanks in advance.
Bhavik

Hi Raz,
It seems that problem exits with firing the plug.
Just check your implemented functionality is within the context.
To Navigate form second view to first you need to create on outBund plug on second view and one inbund plug on frist view and then link them with arrow.
After that create a button on second view and its corresponding(button) action. and then fiir the outbund plug of second view on button Action.
It will slove your problem,
Thanks

I'm having trouble viewing PDF forms in a browser

When I go to a business site for a manual and the format is using pdf, after viewing I cannot go back to previous page using the back button or the arrow back. It keeps returning to the pdf manual I was viewing. I have to click the arrow twice or three times to return to back page and sometimes when clicking to many times it return to the beginning page. This has been happening to almost all pdf forms used by businesses or any other websites. Is there something I have tochange in settings?

Hi Snakedog777,
How frustrating! What web browser are you using? Do you run into the same troubles when viewing PDF files on other browsers? And does the problem only exist with PDF forms--or are you having trouble viewing any PDF files?
For starters, please see Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI for information about configuring your browser.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

IPhone viewing PDF forms

Hi guys,
I have a PDF form that was filled out and saved with Acrobat Premium and then e-mailed. I can view the form attachment normally on a PC, but the iPhone merely shows the PDF without any of the form data filled in.
Am I missing something or is the iPhone missing form support?

In case anyone else has this problem, I fixed it...
Situation: I made the fillable form with an existing PDF document, I did not start from scratch.
Solution: I saved the original PDF as a Word document, and then turned on the "paragraph marking" tool in Word. This revealed that there was a text box hidden at the bottom of the document. Once I removed the text box, I re-saved the document as a PDF and recreated the form again. It was kind of a pain, but it solved the problem!

Problem viewing pdf in print mode

I am able to download and view pdf files, but when I go to print them I sometimes get a file that looks like the correct pdf file but there is no text in the file. It has the formatting correct, but the text is absent.
I am using Mac OS 10.6.8, Firefox 15.0, and Adobe reader 10.4.1
This problem also occurs with Safari.
Thanks,
Mark

Michael,
Thanks for the response but downloading and then opening with Reader produces the same result, a formatted form without text.

Problem with PDF forms

Hi,
I am having a MVC application involving intense PDF operations. The application will open a new Login Window if the session times out. After the new Window opens, the user logs in again using the userid/password. All the operations work normally but the PDF form related operations does not work properly in this situation.
The application is working fine and perfect in all other conditions. Any idea what can be the reason for this? I will appreciate any pointer in this direction.
Thanks
Sanjay

Hi Folks
Any idea on the below problems?

Problem submitting PDF form in WorkSpace

Hi, my server is ES2.5 Turnkey install (Express mode) on Windows.
Client is IE-8 with latest Reader.
My form is a PDF form created in the WorkBench,
it has 2 pages, with some Digital Signature fields,
I have also added the "Process Fields" group onto page 2 of the form.
The form is to be routed in the standard WorkSpace.
At the Initiator step (Start Point), I use the Action Profile to do the Pre-fill of the form.
I have checked the Reader Extended box.
I use a Document variable as the Output from the StartPoint, the doc variable references my .PDF form template.
Everything works fine at the Initiator step, the form fields are all properly Pre-filled.
The problem is:
after I click the Complete button, it goes to the next participant of the workflow process,
when that person opens up the form in the WorkSpace, it's all blank, none of the data at the Initiator step show up.
This User task uses the same Document variable as the Input (specified at the Presentation & Data tab).
What do I need to do to pass the form data along with the form to the next person in the Process?
What have I done wrong? what should I check?
thanks.

I sort of narrowed down the problem a little bit.
I created a smaller PDF form, it has Digital Signature field as well as the Process Fields group, plus some Text fields. When I used it in the SAME process (changed the Document variable to point to this new small form of course) everything worked! No data loss. Everything on the form including the Signature got passed to the next person in the workflow just fine.
So I think my Process design is fine, the problem appears to be in the original 2-page PDF form.
But I can't figure out what thing on the form could have caused the data loss!
There's no error message anywhere, nothing in the JBoss server log either.
Has anybody seen similar problem like this?
thanks.

2 Problems with PDF Forms: Import and Launcing PDF Form in Browser

We are installing SAP sersion 2004s and I have encountered 2 problems while working through several tutorials.
1. When Adobe Designer opens from the layout in SE80, the IMPORT option (under TOOLS) does not appear. Is there an installation step(s) missing?
2. I created a simple Adobe Interactive form based on T. Jung's demo (but without the imported PDF form). Enabled is on and the binding is ok; yet, when I test the application the browser displays only a blank screen. Other Web Dynpro for ABAP tutorials have worked fine, but not the Adobe Forms. Again, is there an installation step(s) missing?
regards,
john

First make sure that you have the correct version of the Adobe Lifecycle Designer installed. I am running 7.0.050519.0. There are some OSS notes on how to upgrade to the 7.X version of the designer.
On the second problem, you probably don't have the correct version of the ACF installed. The ACF (Active Control Framework) is only used when running Interactive PDF documents - not print version ones. Have a look at OSS note 766191 and 846952. I had to uninstall my current ACF and install the 04S SP7 version (according to the two notes listed) before I could build the demo in question.

PDF Forms in Chrome and FireFox?

We created a fillable PDF form for our web site but people can only fill it in using IE; Chrome and FireFox don't work. Any fixes?

Make sure that the Adobe plugin is installed and configured to be used in those browsers, instead of their built-in (faulty) ones:

Cannot view PDF forms (with Signature) in Workspace Error : "SigDict/Contents illegal data"

Hello,
With Jasmin's help, I am able to import a PDF form which is digitally signed >> view it in Workspace >> click Approve/Decline for archiving. Thanks Jasmin !
When I view the form in workspace, I get a "Atleast one signature is invalid" prompt on the top left corner of the window. Upon clicking the "Signature Panel", it says "The Signature is invalid" with a description of "SigDict/Contents illegal data"
Once the process is complete, I am unable to open the same form. I get an error message in Adobe Reader (within workspace).
"Adobe Reader could not open '_7358722841708390983-102[1]' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ( for example, it was sent as an email attachments and wasn't correctly decoded)"
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Aditya

For everyone's reference.
I figured out the "Signature is Invalid" message.
This was my fault as I used a Form Augmenter (insert form bridge) to a signed form which broke the PDF.
After removing that module, I no longer got that message. However, once I approve the form I could no loner view it and I would still get an error.
"Adobe Reader could not open '_7358722841708390983-102[1]' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ( for example, it was sent as an email attachments and wasn't correctly decoded)"
Anyone know why ?

Problems viewing PDFs filled out on a Mac on a PC

After searching the forums, I didn't see this exact issue, so my apologies if it is posted somewhere.
I'm using Abode Pro 9 and created new applications for our students to use with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 (using a PC with XP). We then Reader enabled the documents so they could be used by those who only had Adobe Reader.
Now the majority of users have had no problems with the forms. However, we're running into difficulties with Mac users.
When they fill out the forms, everything displays correctly on their end (I verified this by using a breeze room to see how the documents appear on their computer). However, when the forms are emailed to us, there is missing text or the text only appears when we click inside the box, once we're outside the box, it disappears again. It's also allowing them to enter in more text than we set in the text box area (we had it limit to visible area only). The few that we've talked to are running Abode Reader 9. Any thoughts on what's causing it? I've even sent them 'fresh' copies of the pdfs and asked them to refill them and the same problem happens. The issue is only with text boxes. Drop downs and check boxes appear correctly. I've tried everything I can think of and haven't found any good solutions or explanations yet.

To open any PDF (including those marked as readable by Preview it has a different icon).
locate several (no less than 5 files) PDF with a mix or Adobe and Preview Icons. next hold down control key then go file menu>get sumary info.
Now go to open with and click you see something like the screenshots I have shown or linked in this reply.

Problems with PDF Forms

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Version 9.4.6.
I've created forms within a PDF to make it editable. I've then emailed the file to others, they fill it out and save it.
When they send it back to me, it's blank. I can click individually on each text box and its content is visible then, but not all of them together at the same time. And when I print, they're blank.
I can then retype all of the content into the original editable PDF, save it and send back to the person and they can see it fine.
What am I doing wrong?

Phil,
Not quite. The original poster notes that when a field receives the focus, the data in the field becomes visible. This would not be the case with a non-Reader-enabled form, since Reader then would not be able to save it, and the field data wouldn't be there (but hidden) to be shown when the field receives the focus. Preview is able to save a PDF form whether or not it's Reader-enabled. The problem is it corrupts it at the same time.

Problems viewing PDF's in Safari

Every time I try and open a PDF from Safari 7.0.4 I get this message " before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser." I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.7 and despite changing so that Adobe Reader is the default program for opening PDF's I still get the same message. I have looked at some of the comments on line and none work for me. Any ideas?
Thanks

Elliot,
Your post actually linked to an article which explained the terminal command. I posted moments after you posted, and your post was not displayed, nor did it have any influence on my post. I am a slow typist.
It appears to me as if one is an "off" command and one is an "on" command
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool NO
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES

Problems Submitting PDF Forms via Adobe Reader XI?

Hi,
I have used Acrobat Pro (Versions 9/X and XI) to successfully create fillable PDF forms. I distributed the forms to a server via Acrobat, then set up a hyperlink to the form's location for my users. The users were able to fill the form and submit it. I was able to manage the submitted form data via Adobe Tracker. Recently, many of my users have been updated to Acrobat Reader XI. Now, some of these same users (who have successfully submitted these forms in the past - before the latest upgrade) can no longer submit the form data! If a user fills the form and clicks submit, it appears to that user that the form was successfully submitted, but no data appears in Adobe Tracker, even after refreshing... What would cause this??
Thank you!

What is your operating system? What is your Reader XI version? What exactly means "cannot"?

Problems viewing PDFs with form objects

I have a document I can't view correctly in Acrobat Reader XI. The document includes some form objects like radia buttons and check boxes. When I view the document in Adobe Reader, i only get square boxes. If I use Foxit Reader, I can se the objects normally. I have taken a screendump from the same PDF document, one using Acrobat Reader and the other using Foxit Reader. As you can see, there is a big difference.
The screendump above is from Adobe Reader XI
And this creendump is from Foxit Reader.
Why cant Acrobat display the form objects? It looks like a font problem. I have tried to install asian font pack. Is there any other font packs that could solve this problem?
Best regards
René

How were these forms created? I have seen (in this forum) similar cases when forms were created in some none-standard ways.
See if the attached test document shows correctly in Reader XI.
