Problem with reading a PDF with filled interactive forms

Hello,
I have a problem to read a filed pdf file.
When I open a pdf I see the forms fields like this:
To read the field I need to click on it, when it is active I can read what is written
What can I do to just read the filled pdf form without cliking every field?
Thanks in advance for help

That means they used Mac Preview to fill out the forms and they are broken. I've heard there was a script out there that may fix them but haven't used it myself.
You should have them use Adobe Reader to fill out the form again.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF with Javascript functions built in

Afternoon
I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality. I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF. The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made. The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
I am using Adobe Pro XI.
Thanks in advance
Ben

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flashplayer. With the Reader, I was able to find a different install

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flash player. With the Reader, I was able to find a different installation link using the troubleshooting guide. I cannot find the same with flash player. Please tell me how to install Flash player because there is a website that I cannot even view without it. BTW That is annoying that I cannot even see the website without flash player
my system is XP

Use these installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X

Problem with Input help inside an adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
I'm currently implementing a Webdynpro ABAP application containing a Interactive forms.
I'm using Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8.0, Acrobat reader 9.2, Internet Explorer 7.0
My problem is that when I click on the "input help" button inside the adobe form, he automatically refresh all the forms UI element with their initial values. Is-it a refresh event included when we pressed the "Input help" button or an other event? How Can I deactivate that action, event?
Because since he automatically refresh my form data I loose the context current values.
Thanks in advance,
Louis

strange, but you could compare the version of the zci scripting
in your form in the hierarchy tab there are variables and the ContainerFoundation_JS script --> the first line
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - ContainerFoundation_JS gives you the requested information about the scripting version...have a look at this version...

perhaps this note helps:
Note 999998 - Analyzing errors with Adobe Integration of Web Dynpro ABAP
--> for debugging!
A client debug function is available as of SAP NetWeaver Release 7.00 Support Package 19 (or after you implement Note 1287114) and for all Enhancement Packages. Activate this client debug function using the URL parameter "sap-wd-clientDebug=X" (attach it to the URL using "&"). You can then activate the client trace using the key combination <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT>T (move the focus to a Web Dynpro UI element, for example, to an InputField, do NOT move the focus to Adobe Reader). The system opens a new browser window with the trace output. The trace may contain an error entry ("Network Error", and so on). The URL also activates the Adobe document services (ADS) trace. The trace outputs of the ADS are copied to the generated PDF document as an attachment. Open the file "Error.pdf" of the ADS trace: Form errors (for example, script errors) are listed there.

Havig problems converting JPG to PDF with Acrobat Prof 7

I am using Acrobat professional 7. I am trying to convert JPG files to PDF. I have done this in the past without problems and now I am getting a message of "unrecoverable error". What can I do? I have tried doing this with one file and with multiple files and still get the same problem.

What I do is:
File
Create PDF
from Multiple files
Browse
(select file)
add
OK
Then after I do all of that I get the message "unrecoverable error"
I have created over the past year thousands of JPG files to PDF without problems. I can't seem to create a PDF from these JPG files today. I have tried using just one file and also several files and get the same message each time.

WAD: Problems when exporting to PDF with embedded .swf

I'm using Web Application Designer (WAD) 7 and have created a template with an "Export to PDF" button and an embedded .swf flash file which is an Xcelsius dashboard.
What i'm trying to do is show the information I want on my dashboard and then export that to a PDF to email out to multiple users who would be interested in the data each month. If exporting to PDF isn't the best route to get a snapshot of this dashboard out to other users and there's an easier way please let me know, but here are the issues i'm having:
1) When I have the dashboard showing the information I want and click the "Export to PDF" button, the dashboard reloads as the PDF settings window pops up and gets reset back to it's initial state.
2) If I ignore problem #1 and click on 'OK' in the Export dialog anyway after selecting PDF settings, my Adobe Reader pops up but then shows a message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages". Basically it doesn't see the .swf as being a component to take a snapshot of and print on a PDF. I did try adding a text component just so there was something on the template and I then get a PDF with that text component showing and no .swf snapshot.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? I've tried using the BEx Broadcaster with the 'Send' option but get the same results in regards to the blank page.
Thanks as always for the help!

Thanks for the reply.
The dashboard is connected to a query in NetWeaver BI to get its data. So the request of the user is to be able to adjust the dashboard to show the information they need (well say of a certain region) and then take a snapshot of that and email it out to co-workers in Group A. Then the user will adjust the dashboard to show other data (for a different region we'll say) and take a snapshot to email out to co-workers in Group B. etc and etc.
I have looked into installing a PDFCreator print driver but that wouldn't be feasible to get it on all machines in the business. I've also looked into getting it as a .jpeg which would suffice, but am unsure if there is a way to do it with script and connect that to the dashboard when a button is pushed (will look into this). This seems like a topic for over in the Xcelsius forum now.
I used the following code within the <body></body> tags of the WAD's xhtml to embed the .swf:
<object id="dashboard" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="600" width="800" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="Movie" value="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" />
<embed src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" name="dashboard" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

Problems with reading XML files with ISO-8859-1 encoding

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

Reading Adobe pdf (with search feature)

Is there a way for me to read adobe pdf's on the iPhone? Anybody mind explaining the best way to do this?
And if so, is there a way for me to use the Acrobat search feature that allows you to type in a word and cycle through them in the text?
Thanks

Hi thanks very much.
Does anyone know if one of the apps in particular would allow for an acrobat-type ability to search (and enter a page number).
I tried downloading a 19 MB file from my ftp (came down fine) but there does not appear to be an ability to store this file which means you have to re-download it every time you want to view it. It also seems like the OS gets stuck when you try to scroll over many pages.
Anyone got suggestions as well as perhaps another support/news site that deals with this type of functionality?
Thanks for any help.

How to use Adobe Reader, open pdfs with OS X 10.6.7?

I just got a new MacBook Pro. When I try to download Adobe Reacer or open PDFs, I get messages that say this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I use PDFs all the time. How do I get around this?

I am not being allowed to downoad/install Adobe Reader or open PDFs. When I try to do either one, I get a message that this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I just talked to Apple Care. They told me how to open PDFs with another application andd referred me to Adobe for installation questions. Thanks.

Problem in Reading a .PDF file

HI Friends,
I am reading a .pdf file from within java program using its java.io package.
I am able to read the file, but when I print the line read from file on to the screen, it all garbage. Its not in readable characters.
I guess its reagrding mismatch in Charcter Sets of original file and the stream with which I m reading the file.
So,if u know the solution plz suggest me.

Hello Simple@java
Here's an exemple of a class that opens the File "rapport.pdf" located at the same place as the class.
Of course AcroRd32.exe is the name of Acrobat Reader which allows to read pdf files. You can get it on : adobe.com(http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)
You will change "rapport.pdf" by the name of your pdf file.
Then execute "test()".
* Open the file "rapport.pdf"
public class test
     public test()
          Runtime a = Runtime.getRuntime();
          try
               a.exec("AcroRd32.exe rapport.pdf");
          catch (Exception e)
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
Good luck !

Conflict with Adobe Professional while opening Adobe Interactive form

Hello Experts,
We have developed an Adobe Interactive form which is being lauched from the Portal. Every functionality is working good.
Some of the users have Adobe professional on their machines and when they try to launch the Adobe Form, the form gets automatically opened in the Adobe Professional. Pls note that I have set the file types for PDFu2019s to open with Adobe Reader.
However this setting is getting overwritten and the form opens up in Professional always. Some Interactive form functionality is not supported by Professional, thus those users are not able to use the form.
Has anyone had this Adobe Read-Professional conflict before? Please let me know how this can be corrected. I am have not been able to find much help until now.
Thanks,
Liz

Hello Juergen,
Thanks for your reply. The Interactive form functionality works correctly with user machines not having Professional.
What is the Adobe Professional version that you are using currently? Maybe I should test with the latest version.
Appreciate your help. Thks, Liz
