Problem with fillable form showing up as read-only

I created a fillable form in Acrobat 8 Professional. It opens fine for me directly from where I saved the file or when I click on it from a link which I posted on our Web site. However, no one in the office gets the same results - it opens as read-only for them when I send it as an email attachment or when they click on the same link from our Web site.  We are using the same version of Acrobat Reader (10.1.3). What can I do?
Thank you.

The problem is the file is a PDF/A document, and the other users have the user preference set to display PDF/A documents in PDF/A mode, so any changes are not allowed. The users can turn this off (Edit > Preferences > Documents > PDF/A View Mode, or you can remove the PDF/A information from the document. The latter is the better appoach. Here's a link to an action that you can install that will do this for you: http://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/remove-pdf-a-information
and here's one with more information: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2011/05/how-to-remove-pdfa-information-from-a-file/

  • Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

    Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
    The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
    I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function.  Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
    The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
    I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
    I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problem with pictures not showing up

    I just updated my iphone 3g to the 4.0.1 and i went into my pictures n half of them show up black in the album. but u can still click on them and seee them full screen. Is there anyway to fix the problem with the pictures showing up as black in the album?

    If this is for the photo albums that were transferred from your computer, under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by syncing which will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and selecting the photos you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
    If no change after this, the next step is deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache from your computer followed by another sync.

  • Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

    I am receiving this same error.  I have these additional details:

  • Problem with multiple forms and subview

    I have a problem when using NetBean Web Pack (JDK6, Net Beans 5.5, JSF 1.2).
    1) I created a JSF page (hello.jsp) and a page fragment (header.jspf) inside Web Pack, and let the JSF page (hello.jsp) includes the page fragment.
    2) The include instruction is outside of the "form" element id=main_form() of the first JSF page.
    3) Inside the page fragment (header.jspf), I put a form (id=header_form) with some input fields inside the "subview" element.
    4) When running the web application, the form and its children (id=header_form) inside the subview are not rendered.
    It seems to be a problem with multiple forms on a page and the subview.
    Do I use these JSF components incorrectly? Any advice?
    Thanks

    The forms are not nested.
    hello.jsp
    <webuijsf:body ...>
    <!-- BEGIN: include header -->
    <div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px">
    <jsp:directive.include file="Header.jspf"/>
    </div>
    <!-- END: include header -->
    <webuijsf:form ...>
    From above fragment, you can see the header.jspf is outside of the form element.

    Why in the world is it that everytime I attempt to report a problem with The TV Show "The Walking Dead Season 2 episode 1" Itunes redirects me to their main page..**

    I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
    did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
    What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
    It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
    If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
    Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • Session problem with a form that calls psp web page.

    Hi,
    My unique form is based on table A.
    Within the form I call a stored procedure, which insert data from A into tables B,C,D
    And then within the same form I call a psp procedure using web.show_document('http://server:8080/plsql/psp_procedure?pvId=1001);
    The plsql web page displays data from tables B,C,D for each single pvId.
    The problem is:
    If any commit is issued the psp web page contains no data from B,C,D.
    I suppose I'm working with two different sessions, can I work within the same one?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I'd say the main problem is that you have both rows with the same name 'Rangée1'. This is not a good idea, especially as the first row is the repeatable row.
    When objects have the same name, you can see the instances in the hierarchy, eg 'Rangée1[0]' and 'Rangée1[1]'. The instances use a zreo-based numbering system.
    By the way you can also see it in the Object > Binding tab:
    So that is when you have multiple objects with the same name.
    The problem with your form is that when objects are repeated (add new instance button), then these new objects also have instances, eg 'Rangée1[0]', 'Rangée1[1]', 'Rangée1[2]', etc.
    So the Acrobat gets confused ;-)
    I have renamed the second row 'Rangée2'. That seems to have solved the problem.
    Here is the form back to you: https://acrobat.com/#d=jcCs7X85xeRYQjvI2Yb*Cw
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Problem with HR Forms

    Hi,
    I am having problem with HR Forms. I am trying to edit renumeration statement form (Copy of the standard form, with custom infotype fileds).
    One of the Single Fields was spelled wrongly, and I am trying to correct it. I went to the chnage screen, double clicked on the faulty field, changed its name, and pressed 'Transfer'. It asked for a customizing request, and saved it.
    If I again go to PE51, and check the form, the changes I made are not reflecting. Why is this? can anybody help?
    The field I require is P9001-ZCREWNO. But it takes only P9001-zcrew. Is there any limit of 5 characters on length of filed name? (All other changes are reflecting, only this particular change is not reflecting.)
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. That is already done. I already have the field available in the F4 help of the 'Single Field.
    The field name is ZCREWNO. But when I give this and save it, it says 'Saved'. But if I open again, the stored field name is actually ZCREW  (That is only 5 characters). Because of this, the filed value is not getting populated.
    In Pe51_checktab, filed name is ZCREWNO.
    Thanks
    Krishna

  • All new files and folders show up as READ ONLY

    I am new to the iMac, and am having problems with files an folders. My account is an administrator's account, but when ever I create a new folder, or move a file into it, it shows up as READ ONLY. This is really annoying as I am moving hundreds of files from my PC to the iMac. How do I set things up so that new folders and files are not READ ONLY? Thanks!

  • What to do about Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only

    This is a weird story. My wife has a PowerBook G4/1.33 GHz that she uses in clamshell mode with a 20" Cinema Display. One day under OS X 10.5.6, her Time Machine backups (to a networked 500 GB Time Capsule) failed with the error: Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only. So I upgraded her to 10.5.7 and erased the sparseimage file, starting a new Time Machine backup. And it just happened again. Any idea how this sort of problem arises? My wife was doing something at her computer when the Time Machine error occurred.
    Please don't advise us to upgrade to 10.5.8, because her PowerBook freezes not infrequently with any OS later than 10.5.6, and I was just about to downgrade her from 10.5.7 to 10.5.6.

    Try repairing the sparse bundle, per #A5 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    I've tried this before, but it can't be repaired, because it can't be mounted.

    One possibility is, the HD in the Time Capsule is beginning to fail (all HDs fail, sooner or later).
    I'm backing up to my own sparseimage bundle just fine.

    Those two things may be related. Whatever's going wrong may very well be what's corrupting the backups.
    I'd recommend finding out what's wrong with the Powerbook. It's impossible to tell, of course, but that may be the root of the problem.
    There's a problem with PowerBooks and Cinema Displays. I've posted a lot about this. Even after a motherboard replacement, my PowerBook G4/1.67 GHz had freezes, and eventually Apple gave me a MacBook Pro, but I think there's a failure involving hardware/software design.
    If you haven't yet, I'd start by dong a +*Verify Disk+* on it's internal HD (also per #A5);
    That checks out fine.
    if there are no errors, or they're fixed and the problem continues, run the +Apple Hardware Test+ from the disc that came with the Mac. (One of the discs should have that, and instructions for running it, printed in tiny type on the label).
    If still no help, I'd be inclined to do an +Archive & Install, preserving users & settings,+ of Leopard, then download & install the appropriate "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate (change the last "8" to the desired number). Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

  • HT4993 i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?

    i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?

    Hello,
    I'm also had problems with Iphone 5 , it read no sim card, i solved problem by removing sim card and cleaning with alcohol and q-tip and installing back.
    Shut down phone.
    On the side of phone , you will see a small pin hole, insert paper clip and sim card will come out, be careful to do it over a clean towel as not to let drop on floor, make sure your hands clean while doing this.
    Insert sims card back and turn on, it should work again.
    Good Luck.

  • Problems with my Form not showing " Submit" button.

    Hello.
    I have finally managed to load my website thanks to the wonderful help from these forums, however, I now have a new problem!
    My form on my contacts page does not display the “ Submit” button even though it clearly shows on my Mac on Iweb.
    I have properly copied and written the html snippet, and it only shows people viewing my site on a Mac through Safari, but not on explorer or Firefox on standard PC’s. Why does it not work?
    I am only using a form as people have told me by placing just your e-mail as a contact it attracts spam and so on.
    Also the pages take a hundred years to load!
    Is it possible that I need to reduce the size of the photos? Or, as friends have told me, is it because of my provider?
    My website is www.claxtonolives.com.
    It seems there is always a problem.
    I noticed the olives at the bottom of the page display as a “ boxed “ picture also and each of the boxes do not display properly on the outlets page.
    What is going on? As I have mentioned it all looks fine in Iweb on my mac.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated!

    You will need to make the snippet larger; large enough for Firefox and IE to be able to draw the submit button. Browsers draw elements in different ways and Firefox and IE are known to consume more space on the page to draw elements than all other browsers. In web design WYSI not necessarily WYG.
    On the Contact page it's the Google map photo that requires some time to load. When you choose to draw a map instead of a satellite photo, loading time will be considerable less.

  • Problem with contact form

    Hi-
    I found a contact form for my Flash website but it's not working properly. It uses ActionScript 3 and PHP, both of which I don't know much about. Because of this, I can't pinpoint the problem or how to fix it. Here's what's going on:
    1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc...
    2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears.
    3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but please let me know if I am wrong about this.
    I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below.. if someone can help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it. I am not sure which file the problem is in. If someone here doesn't know PHP then at least see the AS code and let me know if the problem is in that or not. That way I can pinpoint which file the problem is coming from and then seek further help if needed. To see the form in action, go here: http://www.poojasdesigns.com/ and click on "Contact Me".. here are the codes:
    ActionScript 3.0
    //presistant reference to this movie's mail timeline:
    var mainTL:MovieClip = this;
    //start off with submit button dimmed
    submit_mc._alpha = 40;
    //create the LoadVars objects which will be used later
    //one to send the data...
    var dataSender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    //and one to recieve what comes back
    var dataReceiver:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    create listener for Key Object
    this is just a U.I. thing - "wakes up" the submit button
    when all fields have at least some content
    var formCheck:Object = new Object();
    formCheck.onKeyUp = function() {

    You say you don't know much about AS3, and that you have embedded this form into an swf.  In what manner did you embed it, and what version of AS does the swf use?  Have you tried using the form in the page that was provided as a standalone test to see if it works?

  • Problems with ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3 form, attribute EXT_KEY

    Hello masters:
    I have problems with the ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3 form. The portal doesn't show the requisitions that I have been created before. I´m getting next error messages in transaction SLG1:
    "Case ... does not exist. No number range interval has been specified fir yhe case type"
    "No number range interval has been specified for the case type Attribute: EXT_KEY"
    Does anybody know what I have to do?
    Thanks in advance
    Edited by: Rodrigo Arenas Arriola on Sep 2, 2009 3:57 AM

    It was because there wasn't enough space within the form.
    Thank you.
