Problems viewing forms in reader - easy fix using adobe send?

My colleagues and I were having problems viewing and printing data in forms.  Went to the help forums and apparently it is caused by someone filling in a .pdf form on a mac - it corrupts the file.  I saw a lot of fixes suggested including a javascript for acrobat, but I only use reader, not the full acrobat, so none of them seemed to work for me. 
However, I think the easiest way to fix one of these forms is to use adobe send.  If I take the corrupted form and send it to an email address using adobe send instead of sending it as an email attachment, it seems to fix the form and make the data visible again.     Have done it with a couple of forms now and it seems to work. 
Now my question is, does anyone know why this works?

I don't think so. The problem there seems to be not being able to save the filled out form in Reader and needed to Extend features in Adobe Reader so that Reader users can save the form. This isn't quite the same.
My client can edit the form and save it. The problem seems to be needing to edit the saved and filled out form AGAIN.

    What exactly do I need to do?

    That means you were probably using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's. Acrobat is totally unnessary, you can view PDF's in Preview (Applications - Preview).
    BTW PLEASE complete your profile. It's very difficult to help  someone when they don't provide any information about their system. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

    Can this be fixed?

    We are concerned that you did not have a positive experience with Adobe Send. Can you share more information about your workflow so we can try to diagnose the problem?
    If you can provide some context on whether you were using the Adobe Send website or the integration with Adobe Reader? Can you share some details on the types of files and approximate sizes you were trying to send to your clients?

  • I just started using Adobe Send but customers are not receiving my emails

    I am using Adobe Send to send pdf files to my customers. I choose my files, enter my customers email address & copy me...hit send.
    However, my customers and myself are not getting my emails...anyone else have this happen? How do I fix? I can't track the emails if my recipients are not receiving them?!

    There are still many accounts who are not getting the emails…what I am doing is copying myself at my msn.com as that account seems to get all of them.
    So then once received, I then forward them from my msn email address. Then they get them.
    I think they get put in spam or blocked because because the from email address says (faked from)
    My bigger question — my links are expiring – this link below doesn’t work anymore???

  • I was using Adobe Send Now for the longest time to send files; there was never a charge for it.  Now, does Adobe Send replace Adobe Send Now and is there a charge or fee for Adobe Send?  I can't get it towork!  Paul Madsen

    Does Adobe Send replace Adobe Send Now and if so, is it only available on a subscription (fee) basis?  Adobe Send Now was free; I was never charged for the service.

    Dear Sir or Madam at Adobe:
    Does "Adobe Send" replace "Adobe Send Now" and if so, is there a charge for it?  I was never charged for using Adobe Send Now.  I cannot get Adobe Send to work for me; I can upload the file from my computer but when I click the box to send a "personalized link" a message box drops down asking me to upgrade.  When I say no thanks, the message disappears but the box click does nothing.  Do I have to subscribe to Adobe Send and pay a monthly fee for it before I can use it?  Please explain what change has been made and what is going on with this program/service.  Thank you.  Paul Madsen 763-781-9118  [email protected]

    There isn't a feature in Adobe Send for setting and end-date for a file's availability. At any time, you can Unshare the file, however.

  • I'm not able to use Adobe Send in Safari. Why not?

    So, when are you going to provide for Mac Safari to use Adobe Send?

    I can't see your image, unfortunately. The toolbar that Sarah was referring to is the one in the message-composition window here in the forum. If you start to reply to me, you should see it.
    If you click on that camera icon, it will prompt you for the image that you want to insert in the message.
    Anyway, in Safari you should first see this:
    and then after clicking on Select Files to Send and picking a file, you should see:
    If what you're seeing is different than this (note that I took those screenshots in Safari), please let us know.

  • Is there a file size limitation when using Adobe Send?

    What is the largest file I can upload using Adobe Send?

    At this point, we have resolved the virtually all of the issues that users were encountering with uploading large files through Adobe Send.
    Although there is no 'hard' limit, you should be able to send files of 2GB and larger.

    Hi frank at luray,
    Does this issue occur with any file that you try to send, or do you find that it's specific to one file? If it's a file-specific error, and the file is large, please try sending the file via Adobe SendNow. (You can sign in to Adobe SendNow at Sign in or create an account | Adobe SendNow using the same credentials you use to sign in to Adobe Send.)
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Problems viewing form

    Hi,
    I created a form using LiveCycle and sometimes I have problems viewing the data. The text fields are blank and if I click my mouse in the field the text shows up then if I click out of the field it goes away. If I click into the field and type a space then the text remains visible. Sometimes the radio buttons do not display as I created them. It displays a circle inside the box instead of just the box.
    These problems only happen on some of the returned forms. Also, some people say they cannot save the data even though they are saving the form to thier hard drive first. At least that is what I tell them to do.
    Thanks for any help on this!

    OK,
    Last shot at this:
    AcroForm with document level javascript to populate a field with viewer type, version and variation. For example, this populates as "This AcroForm is open in Exchange-Pro, version 9.302. The variation is Full" in Acrobat Pro 9.
    Update button that increases a counter by 1 and repopulates the viewer type, version and variation field.
    This works in Acrobat and Reader. For example Reader comes up with "This AcroForm is open in Reader, version 9.301. The variation is Reader", which is correct.
    However in Preview it is evident that document level script do not work, as the viewer type, version and variation do not update.
    Also Javascript in a mouseUp event does not work, as the update button does not advance the counter nor update the viewer type, version or variation.
    Lastly simple calculation script (javascript) does not work, see the quantity/price calculation.
    This form is 100% AcroForm and even simple functionality does not work in Preview. I wouldn't trust Preview as far as I could throw it!!

  • Adobe Forms and Allowing to Sign using Adobe Reader

    Dear,
    i am testing some scenario's with Adobe Interactive Forms.
    I have a Topaz Digital Signature Pad, which can be used to create a Signature inside a PDF file.  This has been tested and works.  This does not use a certificate, but puts a handwritten signature inside a signature field.
    I would like to test this using SAP interactive Forms.  I have setup my Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 using the GemSignPlus API as validator and creator for Digital Signatures.  The only problem is that my pdf from sap is not allowed to create,or sign the pdf.  When i look at security settings of the pdf, it says : signing not allowed.
    In the manual of sap, i have read that adobe interactive forms, will be saved as allowed signing, standard, but when i open them in the reader, this does not comply.
    I am at netweaver 2004s, sp 9.  Please help

    Hi Tom,
    I'm not sure it'll work, but you can try the following:
    WDPDFDocumentProtectPermission[] permissions = {
      WDPDFDocumentProtectPermission.CHANGES_FILL_AND_SIGN };
    IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormHandler handler =
      WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler(
        view.getContext().getController(),
        "InteractiveForm");
    IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormContext ctx = handler.getDocumentContext();
    ctx.setProtection(null, null, permissions);
    Kind regards,
    Sigiswald

  • Why do prepopulated forms not open up correctly to be read and printed using Adobe Reader?

    We are creating forms that we send to clients. Generally the clients are using Adobe Reader to open the pdf's. Why can they not see prepopulated data on the forms. They need to click the area where the data is to see it. When they attempt to print it, it comes out blank.

    Hi,
    Did you use Acrobat to create the prepopulated forms? If you did, please submit your question to Acrobat forum. The team there can help you.
    Thanks,
