Reader 9 conflicting with forms made in Livecycle 8

I created a very simple, basic form in Livecycle (pdf background of logo and large sized text with a text field and date field), saved it as a pdf, opened it in acrobat 8 just fine. When I tried to open it in Reader 8 to test it, it refused to use reader and would only open it in Acrobat. Pointless! So, I upgraded Reader to 9. Apparently a huge mistake. I can still open it in Acrobat 8 and see the fields and everything seems fine.
When I open it in Reader 9 (even after saving again in Livecycle), I get a message saying "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 he author of the original version of this document."
This message happens with a brand-new, spanking fresh form. I read that 9 basically corrupts the form if you type in it and save it. You then can't revise what you've typed. However, I'm not even given the opportunity to type and corrupt it. It's just not showing the fields or allowing any use of the form as a form.
Any suggestions on fixing this mess???? Thanks for your help....

Excuse me, I forgot another part of this. Now, when I try to open the previous form in Livecycle, I get this message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
Um, yeah. Since I have Acrobat 8 and Reader 9, I have no idea where the spaztastic behavior originated.
Should I just be uninstalling 9 and searching the net for 8?

  • Pdf reader requirements for forms designed in Livecycle

    HI guys,
    I have designed a few dynamic pdf forms that was developed using Livecycle Designer ES. These forms are online fillable forms and I will be uploading these on my site so my users can open these forms in their browsers, complete the form online and print it out for their personal use. These forms are more like online tools for the users. For this, I also have to provide a Troubleshoot guide to my users so they can refer to this if they are unable to open the forms or having trouble viewing the forms properly. So right now I am working on creating this Troubleshoot documentation and I dont want to give the wrong info to my users so I have some clarifications and some doubts and wondering if you guys can help me out..
    1) From what I understand, I think the users need to have atleast a v.8.0 of Acrobat Reader in order to fill these dynamic forms that was designed in livecycle designer ES. This is right? I think so based on my memory since I believe I read this somewhere. Would you be able to clarify this? Have I got the right version?
    2) Also, further to this I understand that the users need to have an Acrobat reader browser plug-in in order to open the pdfs in their browsers. So, I will be adding a list of various pdf plug-in download links for various browsers.
    3) I was wondering, what happens if the user doesnt have acrobat reader installed in their computer? What are the common other pdf readers that various users use? I know there are tons out there but I am trying to understand the common ones that majority of the people use other than Acrobat Reader. I mean users having mac or other OS. Will these forms also work in other pdf readers? Is there are a list of various pdf readers & the versions requirements in order for these livecycle forms to work?
    4) Other than the above points, do you think if I need to mention anything else in the troubleshoot documentation? Any points I may have missed?
    I am sorry..this is the first time I am uploading these online forms and I am trying to understand the requirements so I may be able to assist my users if they do experience any problems. So any help is very much appreciated!
    Thank you..

    Some users are having problems viewing my forms I created using livecycle:
    1) I have a created a few dynamic forms designed using livecycle designer ES..In order for my users to open these forms, they need to have atleast Adobe acrobat / reader version 8.1 or higher to view these dynamic files. However, quite a few of my users are saying that they are still unable to open these forms directly from their browser although they have downloaded the latest Acrobat X version and the browser plug-ins in their computer. It happens to both windows and mac computers. But they are able to download these files and open it directly from their adobe reader though. It happens with all browsers for them...some of them have even called up mac support as well as adobe support and they were advised that it could be a problem with my forms that I find hard to believe since it opens in my computer and opens for a lot of other users. Its only a few users still having this difficulties and I can't understand why! They have also tried enabling "Adobe Reader" as a default problem to open pdf files by opening the adobe reader. They also have tried uninstalling and re-installing the readers and still the same problem. These LC files just dont open inside their browser for them.
    2) Also, I recently uploaded a dynamic file in acrobat file sharing. I noticed that when I click on this file sharing link, it also shows the message that I dont have the latest reader installed (something similar to what my users say about my forms), Why am I getting the below message when I have the latest adobe installed? I am able to open other dynamic xml forms in my browsers..why does this happen? I wonder if other user's problem who open my forms from my site is similar to this problem I have with acrobat file sharing...not sure... (example url: https://acrobat.com/#d=fs-E6Bqml8r0FWI8aMu09g )
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from etc...etc...etc..
    What can be the problem when the adobe version is already updated and also the plug-ins are updated too?? I have read a lot of links in adobe site itself which suggest various methods to test out the forms, browsers, plug-ins, etc..and I also understand that it doesnt work for iOS & Android devices, but this problem still happens to some users even after trying out these troubleshoots. Can someone plz explain if there are other limitations or solution for these users?

  • Read Only HTML Forms using adobe livecycle Output ES

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to display the adobe html forms in read-only format. got to know from adobe consultants that Adobe Livecycle Output ES has this feature. but i am not able to find out any services or components that would give me this functionality.
    Is there a way to get these readonly forms using Adobe Livecycle Output ES.

    Dear Dfoto,
    Thank you so much for being so kind to spend the effort and reply back, I though my question was left behind the sun... but now I am very happy in deed.
    To be more specific, the Form has 2 parts. The first part "Subform1" any one can fill and sign.
    The second part "Subform2", only certain users can fill and sign.
    I think I found a very strong lead to my solution, when I was playing with LiveCycle Desinger few days ago.
    On the Singature Field Advanced Setting, there is a place you can attach the public part of a certificate (Digital Signature) of any user, one or more.
    In this part, you tell LC that only those users "signing parties" can sign the field. I tested it and it worked.
    Now, if I can use this feature via JavaScript to find out if the user who is filling the form, can sign this field, then he can fill the form. If he cannot sign the field, then he cannot fill the form. I can do that by setting the "access" property of the Subform. Another solution is that I can prevent the user from hitting the "Submit" button unless he signes the designated Signature Field.
    I have another small issue:
    I found out that if the Signature field is part of a repeating dynamic Subform, it will not work during run-time. Very bad in deed. While I cannot understand why ?, I tool this as "By Desing" feature.
    Now, if the Signature is locking parts of forms which has dynamic content (repeating subforms), it will always show somthing like "Signature is corrupted or form was changed after it was signed".
    Is this normal ? Is there a way to control Dynamic Forms using Digital Signatures without such annoying issues ?
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Reader conflicts with Adobe Acrobat?

    It looks like there are some conflicts between Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat:
    I just downloaded Adobe Reader 9 without problems but when running the downloaded file(.exe) the seup is interrupted before Adobe Reader 9 could be completelly installed. A message shows up saying: "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\Adobe Reader 6.0.msi".
    In fact, I had Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 installed some timew ago, but it was properly uninstalled as I did everything possible to completelly uninstall it, inclusive runing Registry Clean.
    The same problem arises if I try do install a previous version of Adobe Reader (e.g. 8.0).
    Can anyone please help to solve this probem?
    Thank you.

    This is not a solution, it is a work-around for bad programming practices.
    I recently had a problem with links from one document to another for literature on our website. The problem was with both Acrobat and Reader where if I did not check the Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser", the pdf document would download into my "Tempoary Internet Files" folder. From there it expected to find and open the linked document. Our literature website downloads all literature from a common folder on the host.
    This problem came up after upgrading (or is it downgrading?) from Windows XP to Windows 7. It was not a problem with Windows XP.
    The fix for links was to check Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser". Now the fix for error 1316 is to UNCHECK Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser".
    I want both Acrobat and Reader loaded in my system so I can TEST the form or any changes I make from Acrobat.
    I am really frustrated by this, especially when I get calls from my customers who are accessing our literature online and having the same problems. What do I tell them? Contact Adobe? NOT GOOD ENOUGH. GIVE ME A REAL SOLUTION, GUYS!!!
    FYI: Try using FireFox or Opera browser. You may have better results.

  • Adobe Reader conflict with opening pdf in Outlook 2007email

  • Adobe reader conflicting with s-note?

    Hi,
    I have a galaxy note 10.1 tablet, which comes with the s-note app for handwritten notes. I read that it is possible to import and annotate pdf files in s-note. However, adobe seems to take over s-note. That is, I am able to follow the procedure described e.g. here, but when I get to the point where I choose the file to be imported (about 20s from beginning), a dialog pops up asking me whether I want to use acrobat or polaris office, and the pdf is opened in either program.
    Has any of you experienced the same behavior?
    I suspect this might be caused by acrobat reader, because I installed it after a while, whereas polaris office was shipped with the tablet.
    I am not sure though.
    I'll probably uninstall acrobat reader, since I'm becoming convinced that it's pretty much useless for my purposes. I mainly need it for annotating pdfs (underline, highlight), as I currently do on my laptop.
    However, as explained in this other post, the annotation tools in acrobat reader for android are very disappointing.
    Thanks for any insight
    Francesco

    I don't think any of the scenarios you are envisaging are possible.  Protected Mode is enabled/disabled on a user basis (in HKEY_USERS).

  • How to read PDFs with annotations made by Preview on Mac?

    I use Preview to make annotations on PDFs, but I found that those annotations couldn't be displayed in iBooks or Goodreader on my iPad.

  • UNIX 'read' conflicting with Myclass:read()

    Hello!
    I'm cretaing a class FileChannel, qith a method called read. This mehod has the prototype:
    int read(Buffer& buffer, int offset =0);And the implementation is like this:

         return howmanyQ;

    You haven't shown all the declarations that would affect whether the code is correct, nor shown which line numbers apply to the portion of source code that you supplied, so I can't provide a detailed answer. But I can make these observations, assuming line 29 is this one ssize_t howmanyQ = read( this->fileDescriptor, (buf.data()+offset), (size_t)buf.capacity()-offset);line 29, �void *� used in arithmetic:
    Apparently you have declared Buffer::data() to return void*, and are trying to add an offset to the return value. That operation is not valid. If p is pointer type, p+1 means adding sizeof(*p) bytes to the address that p points to. Since sizeof(void) has no meaning, the operation is not valid. Probably Buffer::data() should return a type like char* or unsigned char*, but I can't say without seeing the design for class Buffer.
    Note: Some compilers allow using void* in pointer arithmetic as a non-standard extension. Such code violates the C++ language standard, and you should not write code that depends on such an extension.
    line 29, no matching function:
    The call to read in function FIleChannel::read will try to call one of the overloaded "read" functions declared in FileChannel, which is probably not what you intended. Fortunately, none of the FileChannel::read functions has a matching parameter list, so the call failed at compile time instead giving a bizarre result or crashing at run time.
    - If you meant the system call "read", you have to qualify the name to show you mean the one at global scope. If that is the case, write the name as ::read.
    - If you meant some other function, use its fully-qualified name.
    - If you actually meant to call one of the other FileChannel::read functions, you have to supply a set of arguments that matches the parameter list of one of them.

  • I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
    application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
    case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

  • Problems with Submitting a Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0 created Form after Update to Adobe Prof. 8.1

    Hi folks,
    can someone tell me, which problem is it? Forms created in Livecycle Designer 8.0 with Adobe Prof. 8.0 don't have problem with submitting, but with Adobe Prof. 8.1.
    Thanks for help or information in adv!

    Hello Mr Aandi Inston,
    thanks for your quick answer! My problem is the following: The functionality email submitting in Livecycle 8.0 created form under Adobe Prof. 8.1 is malfunction when you open the form in Adobe Reader 8.x. There are non error messages to able to locate the problem. When you click the submit button, nothing is happen. Forms created before update adobe prof. 8.0 to 8.1 didn't have problem like this.
    Normally, after clicking submit button ms outlook popup with suitable subject, attachment and so on. Executing the form in Adobe Prof. you wont have problem to submit form per email. Now I suppose that this problem is caused by updating???
    Why do I claim it? After failed testing the modified form based on dynamic interactive template form "Purchase Order.pdf" from Designer 8.0 under different windows os and ms office versions I tried to test the above-named template, the same problem you will get: email submitting is malfunction!
    I hope, my description will be detailed enough to you and I'm glad to hearing from you soon!

  • Can I combine a form created in Livecycle Designer with a standard pdf to create a new document?

    I have a fillable form that I created with Livecycle Designer along with two standard pdf files.  When I try to combine in Acrobat Pro 10 it identifies the form with XML data and will not allow me to complete the process.  Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    No you cannot... this is one of the things my organization struggles with.  I love livecycle becuase of its dynamic form capabilities, but we have so many other pre-built pdfs in adobe pro that can not be merged with these forms.  It is truly frustrating!!!  wish i had a better answer for you.  Also from the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer' page 6... "The PDF files that Designer creates are structurally different than other PDF files...... LiveCycle Designer can edit a PDF form created in Acrobat, but Acrobat can not edit a PDF form created in Designer."  Likewise... XML pdfs do not merge with other pdfs. JoBeth
