Problem with people opening my PDF Form

Hi,
I have people who can't open my Form PDF file - they get an error message. Some of them have version 5, 6 or 7 of Acrobat.
Any suggestions? I have enabled Usage Rights in Acrobat and Saved.

Hi,
you can inform your clients with a message when opening your form with an (too) old pdf reader version, to avoid problems with using the form.
put following script into the initialize event of the first page of your form!
if (typeof(app.viewerVersion) != "undefined")
if (app.viewerVersion < 8.0)
app.alert({cMsg:"ATTENTION:\rThis file requires Adobe Reader 8.0 or newer!",cTitle: "ATTENTION:", nIcon: 1, nType: 0} )

  • Problem with the Travel Expenses PDF Form

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a strange issue in our production system that the Travel Expenses PDF form is coming as a blank pop up when users raise a Travel Expenses request or try to see the form in 'My trips and Expenses'.
    The strange thing is that it is happning for only 3 users in Production system only.We have confirmed that it is not a Desktop issue. We did not come across this earlier while 3500 users are using it for 9 months now.
    The same problem is not repeated in Dev, Qua or even in Production for any other user.
    The SAP Security team has also confirmed that all relevent authorisations have been given to effected users like other users for whom the same is working
    Kindly help me with the same if you have encountered the same problem or can suggest something that may rectify the problem.
    Help will be appreciated << Please do not offer points >>

    Hi Siddharth,
    Thanks for the reply.
    We have checked that it is not a Desktop issue.
    Also SAP Security team says that the effected users have been given the regular authorisations as given to other users using the same functionality.
    As i mentioned it is not a problem with ADS as the same functionality is working fine for 3500 users for 9 months.

  • Problems with XML import to PDF form esp. checkboxes

    I am posting this here because it was suggested to me to do so when I posted it here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5613723
    Hi,
    I work with a certain PDF form created by the US government. They recently "upgraded" the form. (N600K)
    With the old form, I would import values in an XML file, which worked fine.
    With the new form, I have encountered a problem:
    The checkboxes behave as if they are ALL one group of radio buttons, which means only one can be selected at a time.
    There are quite a few questions with checkbox answers. If I or my xml file select any one if them, the rest get cleared.
    I have contacted the US government about this, but surprisingly, they have not responded.
    If you are familiar with designing PDF forms and think you might be able to understand my problem and help fix it, i would love to hear from you!
    Please email me at gidon.ariel @ gmail.com

    Tundra Steve, it sounds like that, that all the checkboxes behave like one
    set of radio buttons. But they aren't. They are separate sets of
    checkboxes, and while some sets could behave like radio buttons
    (male/female, for example), they should really all behave like the
    checkboxes that they are, and allow any and all to be selected.

  • Problem with JavaScript in my PDF Form buttons

    I am trying to have my user click on a button in my form on my website and e-mail the form data to me.
    I am using the following JavaScript with my form button:
    this.mailForm(false, "[email protected]", "", "", "Subject", "Message Body");
    Protected mode is off.
    When I use the above statement (whether the 1st parameter is set to true or false), nothing happens – no email gets sent and no mail dialog box appears. If I change from this.mailForm(...) to this.mailDoc(...), I get a mail dialog box but, as expected, it sends the blank form without the filled-in data due to low user privileges.
    How can I send the form data with this.mailForm(...)? (Note that I prefer to use this.mailForm(...) rather than mailto:(...) because this.mailForm(...) supposedly allows me to e-mail the form without user interaction.)
    -- Don

    Thanks for responding.  I have been using “Submit a form” in the Mouse up event.  I had that operation do a mailto: and it worked, but required user interaction on the part of the web page visitor.  I have successfully created an equivalent JavaScript including:
        var url = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=mySubject&body=MyMessage"; 
        this.submitForm(url, true);
    The above sent the FDF file successfully, but again, it required user interaction.
    Then I tried this JavaScript - as I mentioned in a previous post - after you said to use doc.submitForm():
        var url = "http://mydomain.com/submit_notice.php";
        doc.submitForm(url, false);
    The above script seemed to do nothing (with no error message). Shouldn't it bring up the PHP file in the web browser?
    I have that php file, submit_notice.php, created, but I have not written any PHP scripts to e-mail the FDF file.  I have never written a PHP script to take the posted FDF data and email it, but I have used the PHP mail() function and posted variables.
    As for what I want to happen on the client side after the submit takes place: I simply want the FDF file to go to an e-mail that I specify.  Additionally, I need it to happen without any client interaction on the part of the web page visitor.  I can expect that visitor to have Adobe reader, but no add-ons or protected mode requirement.
    Please give me an example that emails the FDF file without any user interaction.
    Thank you.

  • How to open a pdf form with fdf data

    Hi all,
          I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
    I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
    http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
    But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
    Can anyone know any other way to do this?
    Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
    Thanks in advance
    Annamalai

    @ Bernd. It still opens a text file
    Here's my FDF file sample
    %FDF-1.2
    %âãÏÓ
    1 0 obj
    <<
    /FDF << /Fields

    trailer
    <<

    %%EOF
    (I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
    Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
    ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
    ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
    this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
    I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
    I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
    and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

  • Facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment when sending mail...

    hi friends,
    i'm facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment to the mail.
    my requirement:
    1. enter spool number and mail id in the selection screen.
    process:
    1. now the program will fetch the spool data and converts it to PDF.
    2. but when i'm trying to send mail with this PDF as attachment.
    when i open the PDF file from the mail, logo is not coming properly (looks disturbed).
    can anyone help me how to resolve this issue...
    thanks in advance, murashali.

    hi dinakar, thanks for your mail...
    logo looks good in spool/script/smartform.
    even it look good when i download this spool to pdf and to the presentation server as pdf file.
    i'm using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
    when i used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, is gives a msg - 'spool number not found'.
    here i'm using folloing code to pass pdf to the function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
    code:
    Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings
      lt_mtab_pdf[] = pdf[].
      LOOP AT lt_mtab_pdf INTO lwa_mtab_pdf.
        TRANSLATE lwa_mtab_pdf USING ' ~'.
        CONCATENATE lv_gd_buffer lwa_mtab_pdf INTO lv_gd_buffer.
        CLEAR lwa_mtab_pdf.
      ENDLOOP.
      TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ '.
      DO.
        lwa_mess_att = lv_gd_buffer.
        APPEND lwa_mess_att TO lt_mess_att.
        CLEAR lwa_mess_att.
        SHIFT lv_gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
        IF lv_gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
    NOTE: problem i believe is with ''.  i'm getting this tilt symbol () in my pdf internal table.  here in the above code the line   TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ ' is changing the existing tilt to space.  so my logo is getting disturbed.
    even i tried with REPLACE this tilt with other char, but it doent work.
    can you give any idea...

  • Problem with ati open gl not beeing supported.

    Hello guys, I'm new here and this is probably not the right place to put this topic so sorry, but it's just that I have been trying to solve this problem for 3 months and nothing still and I'm kind off little frustrated. It's the ati 2400 hd agp pro video card that I've bought 3 months ago. It has problem with the open gl, I cannot play counter strike or any other game. It says open gl is not supported. I've tried everything, reinstalling my system, reinstalling drivers, tried all catalyst from 8.7 to 9.4.. So please if you know a fix for this I would be gratefull to heaven! :(
    P.S. Nothing but a fix made specially for this problem is not going to help so don't write reinstall this etc etc..I'm sure many ati users have the same problem :(. I think I saw someone on this forum posting a link to the fix for this problem but that link doesn't work. :S

  • IOS 7.1 Problem with People Hearing Me

    I purchsed my IPhone 5S in December 2013 and never had a problem with people hearing me talk when I called them until I downloaded IOS 7.1.  My voice was very faint or you could not hear me at all.  I found out through another discussion group that the update may have turned my noise cancellation to off.  I checked it out and swtiched it back on and the problem went away and people coud hear me talk again.

    Hello All again,
    I have found a fix for others that may experience the same issue.  The root of my problem appeared to be caused by Bookmarks that were created from Dropped Pins.  I use Dropped Pins to Bookmark mostly everything here in Korea because the addresses here are a bit confusing.  It appears Apple has updated some Map Data (I could be wrong), and my Bookmarks from Dropped Pins had incorrect addresses.  This of course is just my best guess.  Bellow is what I did to fix my problem:
    I went through each of my Bookmarks one at a time and clicked on them.  Instead of clicking on the Car Symbol for directions, I dropped a new Pin right next to the old Bookmark.  I then created a new Bookmark from the Dropped Pin and labeled it the same, but with the number 2 so I could determine old from new.  After clearing Maps and selecting the new Bookmark, I could then click on the Car Symbol and it would route the directions just fine.  After verifying the new Bookmark worked properly, I deleted the old Bookmark.  Rinse and repeat for all of my Bookmarks, re-ordered them and now its as if I never had a problem in the first place.  Tedious work, but managed to solve my problem.  I hope this helps for anyone else that may have the same problem.
    Have a good day.

  • Can't open a pdf form

    Tried to open a form in pdf but it keeps telling me to install the latest version to see it. I had already installed it so i uninstalled it and installed it again but it still wouldnt open. Pdf files are also set to open with adobe and i have no problem opeining other pdf forms.
    Any help would be great thanks?

    I have recently been updated to ES4 and upon completion of a simple edit to a ES3 version of a form - emailed PDF version of blank form document to myself.
    Mobile device iPad and iPhone  Exchange Service and Gmail clients / OWA / and PC based Gmail Web Clients all display Please Wait...  image inserted to this reply.
    Note:  Immediate work around on PC is simple - save file and open via local Windows Explorer (MAC file explorer)  view of file with Adobe Reader or Pro and form appears unchanged.
    This does however leave more mobile customers customers confused. 
    I could not in any manner get the file to display as anything but the image here on my Apple devices , even with iBooks and the Adobe Reader 11.6.0 (98775) tool.
    All other PDF files I have sent to these same clients are readable - so this must me relative the LiveCycle Designer file formating of the pdf file in XML.
    This was simple to check - New form , use blank , save - Untitled1.pdf Adobe Dynamic  XML form (*.pdf)
    If the document is save as a Static PDF form  there is no display issue....
    Please advise
