Problem with forms created in Adobe 9 not saving in reader X

We have been using fill in forms I created in Adobe 9 pro and suddenly people were complaining they cannot save the form with their information. I have discovered that all of those people have acrobat reader X. I looked for solution and found that original form needs to be saved with "extend features in Adobe reader". when I did this it seems to have corrected problem. Does anyone know another way to accomplish without redoing the form? There are many forms and they have been widely distributed and would be difficult to redistribute. They worked fine with Acrobat reader 9.

In order for a modified form to be saved with any recent version of Adobe Reader, the document has to Reader-enabled, which is done in Acrobat 9 by selecting "Advanced > Extend Feature in Adobe Reader". So if the forms worked with Reader 9, they must have had the rights applied through this process or by LiveCycle Reader Extensions. It would be interesting to see a form that is fillable/saveable with Reader 9 that doesn't work with Reader 10.

Still can't sign form created in Adobe X, saved as Reader Extended PDF, Additional Features enabled

I've been trying to make a form work in Reader with fillable fields and signature enabled. I want to give users the option of typing their information and using a choice of Pen Signature or Digital Signature. For some reason you can neither fill in the forms nor insert digital signature or use the Pen option to sign. All highlighted fields are just shaded boxes in Reader, not fillable.
After saving and reopening with Adobe X Pro, both security and document properties indicate the form allows fillable fields and signing but I get the following message when testing in Adobe Reader:
The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader,. To fill and sign this you need to print it out.
Document properties are set to No Security, with no restrictions and Edit>Preferences>Security>Digital Signatures has nothing ticked on the first page.
Digital Signatures Advanced Preferences are marked as Verification document specific, prompt if not available; Ignore document validation; Verify Signatures using Current Time.
Under Creation tab Default Method is Ask When I Sign. Default Signature Signing Format is locked at selecting between the 2 certificate standards - PCKS #7 - Detached and CAdES - Eaquivalent.
I've tried leaving out the digital signature verification which is, of course, impossible when there are Digital Signature fields in the document.
The goal is to be as paperless as possible but this sure isn't working if you have to print it out. And, of course, it can't be saved in Reader, either, to then try to fill in the forms.
Any and all answers are appreciated!

Thank you for the info, George. I have posted an example on dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyiudku6pqm3kxf/rehire%20packet%20rev%20Mar%202013%20%28full%203 a3%29.pdf
I'm getting closer to resolving as at now text can be entered in non-signature boxes. Given who will be completing these forms I'll stick to e-signature rather than digital. Do I use a different form field for those or does the recipient plug that in from the Sign section in Reader?

Problem with form created in Accrobat 9 opening in Reader 9 (Works in Reader 8.1.2)

I created a form using Acrobat 9 and Adobe LifeCycle Designer ES 8.2. It works great on my PC running Adobe 8.1.2. It also works correctly when accessed on a flash drive. Additionally, it opens correctly on my wife's PC running Reader 8.1.2 regardless of how it was transferred. (Worked via flash, network copy/paste to desktop, and as an email attachment).
The problem is, on my laptop, and work computers running Adobe Reader 9.0, attempting to open the file generated the following error window to appear, once you click "OK" on the error, the form fields are no longer accessible. The error is as follows:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I re-opened the form in LifeCycle and optimized it for Adobe Reader 9.0 and higher; but the error persists. The only difference it makes is now when the form is opened on the Reader 8.1.2 machines, it generates first a window for downloading Reader 9.0, and then a compatability warning. Clicking cancel on the download and ignoring the warning results in a form that is still usable and that can be saved. On the Reader 9.0 machines, even after optimized for 9.0 and higher, the above error still persists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance :)

No, you are wrong (Gene & Mike). First, the forms, at least my forms, have NOT been edited since being created in designer. They were created and saved directly to flash. Second, this issue has been posted on the acrobat forum as well as the life cycle designer forum and both thread were ended with adobe expert posts saying it was an adobe reader issue and to post here.
I have experimented more with this issue and it seems to be a 'trusted identity' issue within reader, but I have not wholely figured it out yet. My forms work on Reader, 7, 8, and 9. They work on all versions of 7 and 8 regardless of what the form was optimized for (my forms were optimized for 9 and higher). The only trouble is on 9.0. I have found that when updating on client machines, reader gives a prompt (sometimes) that says reader has found a set of trusted identities from a previous version, would you like to use these identies or create a new set of identities. If you choose to keep the existing trusted identies set, the form works, even when upgraded to reader 9.0
Not trying to be argumentative (Mike and Gene) but the 'experts' bail on this issue by telling people it's a reader problem and to post here.

Javascript problem for form created in Adobe Designer 8.2

I have redesigned the form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and tried to do merging of xml values into the form. But not successful. Below is sample of the javascript
trustedImportXFAData = app.trustedFunction (
function (xmlfilenamename)
app.beginPriv();
var re =".pdf";
var filename = this.path;
this.importXFAData(xmlfilenamename);
this.saveAs(filename);
this.closeDoc();
app.endPriv();
This code works find with form created in previous version but not in the new version. I believe it has something to do with the privilege but I do know where I should change.
For you information, I don't get any error from javascript.
Thank you

Hi Paul Guerette,
I just remembered. I better inform you this as well so you can see the real picture.
Desktop - OS / Vista Home
I created the PDF form using Acrobat Livecycle ES 8.2, Then I opened the form in Acrobat Professional 9.0 to enable the save features. Then I open in Reader 9 to make I will be able to save data. Successful
Laptop - OS / XP Professional
I have vb.net that calls the js passing xml as parameter.
jsCode = "trustedImportXFAData(""" + SOURCE_XML + """);"
Fields = formApp.Fields
Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(jsCode)
In this machine I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. The javascript is inside the \Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Javascript\.
I wonder could this also be, because of the compatibility between 2 different versions.
Thank you

Problem with Hyperlinks Created in Adobe Professional

Has anyone experienced weird behavior from hyperlinks created with Adobe Professional when trying to open in Safari browser? Our graphic designer has been creating our newsletter using Adobe Professional and hyperlinks are created to link our advertisers to their websites. But, when someone is using the Safari browser, the response is that the page is missing. This doesn't happen when the same link is clicked on using IE, Google Chrome or Firefox.

In order for a modified form to be saved with any recent version of Adobe Reader, the document has to Reader-enabled, which is done in Acrobat 9 by selecting "Advanced > Extend Feature in Adobe Reader". So if the forms worked with Reader 9, they must have had the rights applied through this process or by LiveCycle Reader Extensions. It would be interesting to see a form that is fillable/saveable with Reader 9 that doesn't work with Reader 10.

Issues with forms created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hey Gang,
I need your help to figure out why my interactive form text fields that were created in Acrobat turn black when clicked and don't display text when typed into. The text that is being typed is there, but it is not visible until you select the next text field. Also the solid black bar goes away as well when you select a new text field on the form. By the way it might be important to note that my interactive PDF started as a SWF file before being exported as a PDF. Either way the form fields were created in Acrobat Pro XI. Thanks for any help.

The font is set to Helvetica 12pt. I have been messing around with the form and have noticed that if I click edit form and then click done editing. The form will function properly until I click anywhere other than a text field.

Problems with form created in muse to use in business catalyst ecommerce checkout

I am trying to create a form to use with my BC hosted site for the commerce module checkout
I have created a sample form - but every time I update the site it overwrites the form that I have modified in BC
I have checked the option to not export the page that the form is placed on but it still overwrites...

Hi,
any webform which is not used till now, will be deleted by Muse. To fix this,
1) Create the Purchase webform with payment details in BC.
2) Goto Module template-> online shop-> register buy layout and place the webform .
3) Go to test page URL and submit a test entry.
4) Check in back end a order will be created.
5) Then publish the site via Muse.
Muse never deletes a webform which has been used for submission.
Do let me know if you have any question.

Strange problem with forms. browser does not send syn

We are having a strange problem and I hope someone can help (im
stumped).
setup
I have a webserver (iplanet 4.1 sp8) running in secure mode. It has a
weblogic nsapi plugin and forwards EVERYTHING over to an app server.
The app server runs weblogic 4.5 sp10 and hosts both servlets and
static html for an application we are developing.
customers load a long form and are given the ability to upload several
files, but upon pressing the submit button on the form (they must do
each file individually) we get an error message that the page cannot
be displayed.
upon investigation, I look at a tcp trace and find that when the
submit button is pressed, the browser sends an ack packet to the
netscape server and it responds (correctly IMO) with a rst flag.
Why doesn't the browser start communication with a syn/syn-ack/ack
sequence? The form appears to have been completely loaded.
To aggravate matters more, this problem does not always occur and
clearing the browser's cache seems to aggravate it.
I would appreciate ANY help that could be offered.
sorry for the long post,
-Chris

HTTP/1.1.Great, but the server obviously doesn't believe this is the case. Any
idea how to correct this situation? also... as I mentioned this
problem is intermittant(sp?). When it does not occur, tcp
communications are normal.It sounds like the bug is in the browser. When it gets the RST, it should
realize that the old connection has been dropped (even if a server
implements persistent connections, like it should, it's allowed to close
idle connections after a timeout or if it's running out of resources).
When that happens it should automatically retry on a new connection.
This might explain why the problem is intermittent. The browser is happy
when the connection has remained open, but it doesn't handle the occasional
cases where the server has closed the connection unexpectedly.

Problem with newly created CM Repository NOT showing in Repositories Link

I am new to the Portal and this is the first time that I have created a CM Respository that is reaching out to a network drive (on a different domain and different server, our Platform is Windows). Here is what I have done so far...
1. Created a Windows file share
2. Configured a new CM Respository Manager (Persistence Mode FSDB)
I did the setup via System Administration, System Configuration, Knowledge Management, Content Management, Repository Managers, CM Repository.
It said it was created successfully but when I go into System Administration, System Configuration, Knowledge Management and then click on the link for "Repositories" (in the 3rd level navigation) it does not show up?
I restarted the service and still no luck...
How do I troubleshoot this??? I am not sure where to begin. Please be very detailed as this stuff is new to me.
Thanks,
Tom

I tried that and still no luck. Here is the interesting thing:
- If I change the DataBase mode to "DB", I get a green light in the monitor and it shows up properly within the Repository.
- If I change the Database mode to "FSDB, I get a Red light in the monitor and it shows and incorrect path
      "Startup Error: could not create directory:
172.xx.x.xx\folders\Root\Versions\versions"
      My actual path for "Root Directory" is "//172.xx.x.xx/folders/Root"
      The IP address is correct but where is the rest of this path coming from???
- If I change the Database mode to DBFS, I get a Red light in the monitor and it shows an incorrect path
      "Startup Error: folder
172.xx.x.xx\folders\Root does not exist"
      My actual path for "Root Directory" is "//172.xx.x.xx/folders/Root"
      The folder does actually exist.
So confused...

Additional Information
The form was created 10 or 11 months ago, and we are pretty sure that we were able to open it a while back
The same PDF file opens just fine in Windows 8.1 using Adober Reader XI 11,0.06, it is only the app that is affected.
The document cannot be opened by any other mobile app that we have tried or on another mobile OS (iOS)
Any ideas?

The user's assertion is surprising to me, but perhaps I'm missing something important. I thought the correct position was from the conclusion of my earlier post "it can't be done". Adobe state their Reader Touch doesn't support XFA (http://blogs.adobe.com/readermobile/2012/12/13/adobe-reader-for-windows-8-tablets/). Unless (see that blog entry) you changed the type of form.

Problems with signing certificate for Adobe CC Applications

I've just purchased Adobe CC and set out to install quite a few apps. Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks all installed without a hitch.
Then I tried installing the Edge tools and Lightroom, and that's when the trouble started.
They failed. The error was this (I've seen this several places):
Exit Code: 7Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW006 ... -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s) ----------- Payload: AdobeLightroom5CCMPkg-mul 5.0.0.0 {4b06fc24-6249-4c57-9830-6008a3ce9a80} -----------ERROR: DW006: Apple Package failed to install successfully.ERROR: Third party payload installer Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.pkg failed with exit code: 1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did some research and tried the following things:
Ran the cleaner tool
booted in to safe mode and tried reinstalling
uninstall/reinstall AIR (I think this was an outdated suggestion)
Verified and Fixed disk permissions
Created new admin user account and tried installing from there
No luck. I checked the install logs:
installer: Certificate used to sign package is not trusted. Use -allowUntrusted to override.
OK - something with the certificte. So I grab the downloaded packages from the /tmp folder for the apps. When I try to install the packages there, I get the warning that the package is not signed by a trusted certificate - I say install anyway and everything works!
Except Lightroom 5. I can't get that oe to go. It never asks me to override the certificate. It just tries to install and fails just as it did through Adobe CC Desktop. I can dig in to the deploy packages and install it there, but when I launch it, it asks for my serial number, which we don't have via Adobe CC, correct?
So what's going on? I seem to be the only person having this problem. I spent 3-4 hours this morning with Adobe support. I have them screen control and they couldn't get it installed.
Any ideas? I'm on a newest version MacBook Air, i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD running OS X 10.8.4. (I swear at one point scrolling through the endloess lines of install logs I saw something about my os not being supported, but that can't be right, can it? I'm 100% current - I can't tbe too current, right?)
Thanks in advance,
Adam Barney

Wow. I have no idea how this happened, but at some point, I lost my Apple Root Certificate - that seems important. I reinstalled it from http://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/ and all is right with the world - and Adobe CC Desktop Installer.

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.
