Reader Extended forms are broken in Adobe Reader XI

We use Livecycle Server 11.0 to enable saving of forms data in our forms. We are receiveing complaints from people using Reader XI that if they reopen a form they are working on, they get the following message. "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no loner available".
Is this a known bug with Redaer XI. We have a lot of Licecycle licences and cannot guarantee that users will not use Reader XI.

is the problem specific to Reader 11 ? not experienced on reader 10 ?
you could compare the settings of a working Reader 10.x with Reader 11.x where it throws the exception.
Also ensure that while creating form in designer > File > Form properties> Default PDF render format is set as: Dynamic XML Form.

  • Adobe Reader saved tax forms are unreadable by Adobe Reader. Has this been fixed?

    When I file my tax deposits it gives an option to "view and save as pdf". In February this would only work if I installed Adobe Reader on my mac so I did. None of the saved deposit records from January thru May is readable. I discovered the problem in June and just sent the pdf to the printer software which then saved it as a pdf.
    I didn't find out about it until I tried to read one of the saved deposit pdf's and got Adobe's arrogant little error message that blames everybody else for the problem.
    Has this defect been fixed?

    When you you finish filing a tax deposit the IRS software provides  a list of options for keeping a record of your work. One of them is 'View and Save as PDF' which has the Adobe logo and invokes Adobe Reader. When you click on it, it displays a nicely formatted page showing the transaction you just filed.
    When you go to the Safari file menu and click on 'save as…' it asks for a file name and all that and seems to work just fine. But the file it stores has nothing in it.
    It used to work just fine. I have been using the view and save as pdf feature since 2008. The same logo the same messages, the same process.
    In February of this year when I clicked on the logo it told me I had to load Adobe Reader in my Applications folder. So I did. Everything looked and felt exactly the same as before and I assumed it was working. The only difference is that it now stores empty files. I didn't discover it until I tried to read one of the files and got the message from Adobe Reader.
    I am using the same version of the mac os as before; the only change was the one to add Adobe Reader to the applications folder.

  • FORMS: Reader Enabled forms are not saving for all users

    I have created several fillable forms with both Acrobat Pro 8 & 9. All have been created with Extend Reader Rights In my testing i have success saving the forms in Reader (various versions as old as 7).
    After sending the forms out via email the saving functionality is hit and miss for all of our employees. Some can save others cannot. I can't seem to find a common thread as to why this is happening.
    All forms are created on a Mac OS X 10.6.1 and then sent out via email to Windows and Mac users about 50/50. Both OS users are having trouble
    There is no need to collect the data on a server or anything just trying to make it easier and waste less paper. We don't mind send PDF attachments all the time.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks!

    here is one of the forms that is not working in Reader (except on my wife's PC and another Mac) it is the current PDF form i am having trouble with. If we can resolve the issue then it will help me resolve my other forms too. I have made them all using the same process. (Maybe therein lies a problem)
    Form Creation Process:
    Create initial page layout in Pages (mac app for those that are not familiar)
    Export as PDF
    Open PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 (started making forms in v8 now i am working in v9 - both have produced this problem)
    Run Form wizard, adjust fields, save final version of form
    Extend Features in Adobe Reader (via Advanced menu) - Follow steps to save a new Reader Enabled version
    Email new RE version to co-workers
    All can fill out the form, only a couple can actually save the partially completed / fully completed form for reference, filing, or submission.
    Am I missing something? Thanks for all the help so far!

  • After saving PDF static files, reader extended privileges (ARES) are lost

    Hi,
    Technical information:
    LiveCycle 7.0 (which came with Acrobat Professional)
    ARES 7.0
    Reader 7.0.0, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
    Windows 2000
    PDF Static file type (as we are not dynamically adding/removing document objects)
    Scenario:
    PDF contains javascript to change the background and border colour of form fields (e.g. node.fillColor = '255,255,170' changed to '192,192,192') to denote enabled/disabled fields.
    PDFs are reader extended, so, user should be able to enter and save data on the documents multiple times.
    Problem:
    Reader extension rights of PDFs were lost. For example, in Reader, open document, update/enter data, save, and close. Do this multiple times and make sure one of the form fields background colour changes. When the document is re-opened its reader extension privileges are lost and user is no longer able to update/enter data on the document.
    This worked with our pilot forms (using AcroForm and ARES 6.0)
    ADOBE Explanation:
    The underlying XFA document is changed when the form field's background property was changed, hence, it is no longer a static form and its reader extended rights has changed.
    Resolution:
    PDF's file type changed from Static to Dynamic. Some logically driven functions will have to be changed/duplicated (e.g. calling enabling/disabling function(s) from the documents' docReady event).
    Have to use Reader 7.0.2 to be able to open, update, save, and close document multiple times without loosing reader extended rights.
    Hope this helps others
    Regards
    Jen

  • Java runtime requirements for clients of Reader Extended forms

    I need to know if there is a minimum Java (JRE) requirement on the client machines to properly interact with a Reader Extended form created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 9?
    Thank you,

    Thank you Paul and Steve for your quick responses.  I was concerned that the JRE might have been an issue causing some odd behaviors within the form at a certain client.  I guess that I will now have to pursue a different path.

  • Completed reader extended forms coming up blank

    I have an issue with one of my Reader Extended forms (dynamic form created in LCD ES 8.2) and it's compatibility with different versions of Reader.  The problem occurs when the person completing the form has a different version of Reader than the person receiving the completed form.  When the completed form is opened in a different version, the form appears in it's original, incomplete state.  However, the completed form opens correctly if opened with the same version as was used to complete the form.
    All workstations here have either Reader 8.1 or Reader 9.  The order does not seem to make a difference - the Reader 9 completed form cannot be viewed correctly in Reader 8, and vice versa.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Niall,
    Changing the binding to "normal" worked. I was having some issues with the performance speed a few months ago, and one of the tips I read in an article was to turn off subform binding. It didn't have any negative effects on the form, but I did not have the opportunity to test it across multiple versions of reader. Even if I had the opportunity, it wouldn't have occurred to me that it might cause an issue such as this because the form data is not bound to an external data source.  
    Thanks for your help!

  • Are form responses removed from Adobe server when deleted by user?

    This is a server security question; when form responses are exported to excel, and then deleted from the workspace, do they remain on the Adobe server or are they gone?  I need to know this to know the level of security that is applied to the server to determine if we can use Adobe with sensitive information. I understand forms are encrypted when responses are returned, but what happens to the information that is on the server?
    Thanks

    I am working on research the use of Adobe Interactive Forms in the current processes of HCM ESS MSS.

  • Adobe Interactive forms are not editable following an EHP6 upgrade, how do we correct this?

    Good day,
    We are currently going through an upgrade to EHP6. We have set up a test parallel environment that was copied from prod and applied EHP6 for a compare.
    During our initial tests, we have found that Adobe interactive forms are not loading properly following the upgrade. 11 out of the 13 interactive forms currently implemented in the portal are no longer editable. When you go to select a value from the drop-downs or input a value in the field the fields remain blank. This is a high priority as all users perform their PA actions via MSS and through workflow approvals using Abode interactive forms.
    Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this issue or have come across this issue before?
    Thanks in advance,
    Christine

    Hi Christine,
    maybe a restart of the ADS-Server helps you out. I can remember a similar case where the restart helped.
    IF not, check if you got the latest patch of the ADS, maybe the upgrade of the erp causes this error, because it pass now more data to the ads than before.
    IT's just a suggest. Let us know, if that helped you out.
    Regards
    Florian

    Hello  Markus,
    let's say I have two systems. One - X - installed J2EE+ABAP and configured WD pdfobject WS proxy to point to second system - Y - with correctly configured ADS (inculding Redaer Rights Credential). Do I have to setup this Reader Rights Credentila also on system X ?? Do I have to setup something else on system X to work with Interactive forms in WD Java on system X ?
    PS: Our ABAP calls from X to ADS on Y are working okay, but I didn't try WD ABAP as basis is too low.
    Thanx, Richard.
