Reader 9 is not displaying existing form data.

Hello,
We have a series of files that were created using a form designed in Acrobat 7.0. When we open any of the files with Reader 7.0 we can see the form data that was entered, but when we open the same files with Reader 9 the data is not displayed.
Does anyone know how to correct this?

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

If you looked at the error message and searched the forum, you should find the answer as this is a problem that started in 2005. You should not run CHM files from a server and cannot without editing the users registry. See the page below.
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/chm_mspatch/896358.htm
All along your questions have been based on webhelp, why suddenly are we going go CHMs.

I have an iPad 2 and it does not display the cellular data button under settings. It does display a Bluetooth button in its place. I have tried the reset but no luck

Is the iPad the Cellular version? Does it have an active Data plan? Does it have a Sim card installed in inside it?

Reader 5.1 DOES save form data. But where??

I have used Reader 5.1 for the past couple of years to fill in some forms. It will save the filled-in data when the form is closed despite the fact that's it's apparently not supposed to be able to (and save as, email, etc. all indicate that the data would be lost because I'm not allowed to edit the file). I always assumed it was in the pdf, but this year, I noticed something odd: I had to fill in two copies of the form with different data. After filling it in once, I copied the pdf and overwrote all the data in the fields with the new data. Now, whenever either one is opened, the first data displays briefly and is then overwritten with the second data.
So...
The data is saved when it can't be.
This version of Reader doesn't even support saving the data, but it's saved anyway.
Data that was typed into one shows up in both.
Reader is not actually installed, but only extracted from the archive (works fine this way and doesn't muck my system up as much) so I can remove it when done (I use Foxit for all other pdfs).
Finally, the saved data will eventually disappear but the length of time appears to be volatile.
The form in question is an Alabama tax form if that helps (download link can be provided if you want it).
I want to separate the two lists of data and actually save it somewhere but I have no idea where it's saved. I believe the pdf got bigger after I added data but the modification date is unchanged, nothing obvious shows up when it's loaded into notepad and that doesn't explain how the second data showed up in the first file.
Help???

Thanks George. Unfortunatly, Enable Additional Features does not limit them to just editing form data. It also gives them the rights to use commenting and drawing tools. Looking to give people ONLY rights to edit and save form data. If that is possible. It'sa legal thing, we don't want them to be able to mark it up with comments.
Anybody know if this even can be done with Acrobat X Pro?

Java Bean does not display in Forms 9i

Hi,
I created a Java bean taht would not display in a Forms 9i application. I do not get any error messages, just nothing seem to happen. I did the following:
1. Created a Java Bean with az Init() public function, packed it into a jar file and put it into <9iASHome>\forms90\java
2. Added the jar file to the formsweb.cfg file's archive_jini.
3. Created a Form with a Java Bean item on a canvas.
4. Set the implementation property of the bean item to the full java 'direcotry' path of the class.
5. Created the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger and put this code into it:
fbean.register_bean('BLOCK3.BEAN_AREA4',1,'geoifsweb.ifsframe');
After deploying the form to 9iAS and running it nothing seems to happen, only the place of the Java Bean appears on the Form. Teh Java Bean class extend a JFrame class, so I would expect it to appear on the screen.
What am I missing? Thank you for any help or hint in advance.
Regards,
Tamas Szecsy

Tamas
When using fbean.register_bean you don't need to set the implementation class of the bean at design time.
You must however supply the full package and class name in the register_bean call.
Do you get any exceptions in the Java console?
I'd also switch logging on (see FBEAN.Set_Logging_Mode)

HTML tags not displayed when using Data Template

Hi All...
I'm developing a BI Publisher report in which one of the columns is a clob data type. I'm using an xsl stylesheet to format the data present in the clob column.
I've developed the report using data template as the data set. The problem is the clob column which has the HTML tags where not displayed properly...for example
the tag starting with
<
is replaced with
& lt;
I did a couple of searches in this forum and in tim's blog but couldn't find a proper solution...

Issue could be with the data that is selected in the other environment. It generally happens that the ALV will not give the same results as in the DEV in the other systems.
Possible errors could be the control break statements in the loop...endloop block. validate the correctness of the control break stmts if any.

Preview not displaying List View Data past first row

I guess this is a simple question. I have my Excel model working the way I wish it to. The components before preview are functioning accordingly. When Preview is run, the data in the two spreadheet tables is not displayed past the first row.
Basically, is there some gremlin within Flash that is ignoring or deleting the functions (VLOOKUP) in the targeted display area? By all rights, this should be working, and I am kind of surprised that it isn't

If the data is static, it will display. My research turned up that VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions will not display after the first row of data.
Source: Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard best Practices by Loren Abdulezer, pages 407-408
My problem is that in making the data dynamically selectable, and using multiple functions to bring results to the top of the spreadsheet instead of their respective locations; it has created a situation where I have an Excel model that works, but an Xcelsius model that does not.
Doesn't look like there really is a solution to what I am trying to do, short of completely rebuilding the model, which I do not have the ability to replicate.

Adobe Reader Will Not Display Large PDFs

When using the Adobe Reader app on PlayBook it will not display some PDFs. It seems that it will not display PDFs that are too large.
Some files that might be too large do not display while smaller files do display in the app. The too large range could be in the 12 MB region where the good range could be 6 MB or less.
I tried to submit feedback to BlackBerry on this issue but it returned my email saying it could not process my request. I am hoping that they read it here.
Here is a link to a page with both readable and unreadable files:
http://www.bossus.com/backstage/product_manuals/?group=2
A readable PDF is the owner's manual for the RV-3. A unreadable PDF is the owner's manual for the RC-3.

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

Portal not displaying all the data for transaction

hi we have a transaction called s_alr_86012326 in the gui...
when we execute the transaction in the gui we can see a lot of data but i am not able to see besides 1 entry thru the portal. any idea why?
besides this there is one more issue...
when i log in with the test id from one another system i am not able to see the iview itself..what happens is that it presents a dialogue box aas the new window opens and prompts me to save a file or cancel it... the file got a strange extension

Hello Ankur,
The Pop Up is coming because you don't have SAP Logon Pad (SAP GUI) installed in that computer. Just installed it and the pop up will go.
Regarding the transaction not displaying data, check ur authorization in backend i.e. check the authorization of the user to which ur portal user is mapped.

Preview not displaying PDF form properly

Hi, I volunteer at a high school where there are macs installed. The students are trying to fill out their FAFSA form which I have downloaded from the Dept of Education's website. It displays properly inside Acrobat Reader for both Windows and Mac. The answer fields are set up as boxes, one letter for each box. In Acrobat Reader, you can fill out the form, and the each letter would appear inside each box. But when we open it up in Preview, which is what the school is using by default, the boxes disappear, and filling out the forms make them look like they're regular text input fields.
The PDF file is here: http://www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov/docs/colorEnglish_fafsa2009-2010.pdf
I don't want to have to install Acrobat Reader on these Macs because I don't want to mess with the school's computers like that. Is there a way we can get Preview to open up this file and have it display properly? I have Acrobat Pro at home, if I need to do something to "convert" or "fix" the file, I can.
Thank you!

I have also had problems with PDFs in Preview recently. Some PDFs created by Acrobat Pro don't display correctly. One document I received recently was full of grey squibbles in Preview. I opened it in Acrobat Pro and everything was as it should be. This has happened several times now.
However I don't want to open Acrobat Pro just to read a PDF, so I have, despite resistance, installed Acrobat Reader. It loads very quickly, so it's not like the old Acrobat used to be. It is basically an acceptable solution. Hopefully Apple will address this issue soon.

Arabic characters not displaying in Forms

Problem :

To read the file and put in a table of column CLOB.
