Reader XI update prevents form submission?

Acrobat Reader users who have had their Reader version updated to Reader XI are no longer able to successfully submit PDF forms! These users have previously used the SAME PDF form, successfully submitting them!  The form was created in Acrobat Pro 9/X.  Is this a known issue?  Is there a fix?  Users that have some version of Acrobat Pro can successfully submit the forms.

I created a form with Acrobat Pro 9.  The form was distributed and is accessed via a hyperlink. When someone filled and submitted the form the data was collected via Adobe Tracker.  A copy of the filled form with the user's data was also sent via email.  Now, if a user that was able to successfully submit this form via Adobe Reader (X or below) is upgraded to Reader XI, that same user can no longer submit the form!  They see the submit button, it appears that they have successfully submitted, but no data is sent to the Adobe tracker and no copy of the form is sent!  What other details do you need?  I am at my wits end with this issue... The update to Reader version XI is the ONLY commonality I have seen with the failures...

  • How do you prevent form submission if Spry validation fails?

    After reviewing and implementing the SpryValidationConfirm and SpryValidationPassword widgets on a test page, I am unable to prevent the form from being submitted if the validation of either widget fails.
    A feature of both widgets is "Blocking form submission if the password criteria is not met".
    I ihave included my code below:
    <script src="SpryAssets/SpryValidationPassword.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="SpryAssets/SpryValidationPassword.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    Thanks so much!
    I removed the <cf prefixes from the cfform and cfinput tags and form now does not submit on invalid data.
    I did not rename the 'password' fields as I think there needs to be 2 inputs that can be compared for the confirmation widget to function.
    I have attatched the working code below:

  • Adobe Reader X crashes after form submission

    Hallo, I came across this issue.. I have PDF forms created in LiveCycle Designer with a simple button set as submit type and URL defined. Now pressing the button (in Reader 10.1.2) sends the PDF to a server but while receiving data back, Reader stops working and crashes. In my Acrobat X as well as PDF opened in any browsers, this works just fine. The funny part is that this only happens on machines that have both Reader and Acrobat installed, with just Reader installation, no problem again. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.  I've posted there as well.  Anyone know if there's a workaround to keep reader from crashing with this form, or is my only option to roll back the servers until the creator of the form updates it?
    (I have notified their webmaster of the issue, but who knows how long it will take the state to update the form.)

  • Mandatory check box before form submission

    I want users to accept my 'Terms & Conditions' statement on an application form before they are allowed to submit it by the e-mail button.
    I want to place a required check box which produces an error message and prevents form submission until it is checked.
    I have read hordes of the postings but none of the solutions seem to do quite what I want.
    Any advice would be gratefully received

    Hi,
    I used the script you provided in the above post, and it worked perfectly, but my situation is a little different: I have two checkboxes, but I only want the message to appear if one of them isn't selected. If the other checkbox is selected, I need the fake submit button to go ahead and generate the email to send the form. I'm new to LiveCycle Designer, and I'm unsure of how to correctly use the "if" and "else" javascript. I need the message to appear when clicking the WebExYes checkbox, but I don't want it to appear when the user clicks the IntercallCheckBox.
    Here's what my script looks like so far:
    if 
    (form1.subForm1.WebEx.WebExYes.rawValue != "1"){ xfa.host.messageBox("You must read the FHEG WebEx Usage Standards and select the Yes checkbox before submitting.");
    else 
    { SubmitButton.execEvent("click");
    if 
    (form1.subForm1.AccountRequest.IntercallCheckBox.rawValue != "1")
    else 
    {SubmitButton.execEvent ("click");
    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if I can even make this happen?
    Thank you,
    Hannah

  • How to prevent dupilcate form submission in JSF 1.x

    Hi All
    How to prevent dupilcate form submission in JSF 1.x application. As of now ,when the user clicked the submit button two times , application inserts 2 records in database.
    Please suggest how to prevent dupliacte form submission without using Javascript. Kindlly share examples if any.
    Regards,
    DEV

    Your problem is not really double submission but the fact that your application allows double insertion. The fix is functionally easy but technically very cumbersome: before inserting, check if the data already exists. If you build in such a guard you also protect against other methods of causing a resubmission, such as the browser back button.
    PS: what's the deal with the no javascript limitation? You do realize that when you use JSF you're tanking your application full of javascript, right?

  • Can't seem to change the Document Properties Advanced Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
    You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.

  • Creating an Adobe Reader 6.0 compatible form in Designer 7.0

    I imported a PDF into Designer 7.0, updated the form to allow user input, and saved it as an Adobe Reader 6.0 compatible form. This form works fine in Adobe Reader 6.0 but whenever a user initially opens the form, a message pops up prompting the user to upgrade to 7.0 or else the form will not work. Clicking "Cancel" gets rid of the message and allows the user to input into the fully functional form, but the message still pops up every time the form is opened. Over half of our users are running Adobe Reader 6.0, so any help on preventing this message would be very appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Jeff

  • How to prevent duplicate submission?

    Hello!
    I have a page for gathering some data:
    private function saveHander():void {
        // Gathering data into database.
    <mx:TextInput id="name" />
    <mx:TextInput id="age" />
    <s:Button id="Submit" label="Submit" click="saveHandler();" />
    When focus on submit button,I click at the button and press the space bar at the same time,saveHander function execute two times.
    How can I prevent duplicate submission? thanks!

    Assuming this is a form you are attempting to save, good UX practice is to disable the form once you begin local form validation (submit button clicked) prior to forming your data packet for save.
    Doing so will prevent the anomaly you are experiencing.
    In other cases where the above practice is not practical, you can setFocus to another component (off the submit button) because as long as the focus remains on the button, depressing the space bar will trigger the mouse event for the button. Research ADA compliance if you want more details.

  • Can I update multiple forms with the same dropdown at the same time

    I have 20+ forms that have a common dropdown.  Each form has between 1 and 15 instances of this dropdown.  The values in the dropdown are updated on a frequent basis.
    Currently I have an identical Document JavaScript named 'UpdateDropdowns' in each form.
    function update_dropdowns()
        var aList = ["  ", "A", "B", "C"];
        //Add any other dropdown choices in the var aList in the format shown
        getField("TradeNameDropdown1").setItems(aList);
        getField("TradeNameDropdown2").setItems(aList);
        // Add any other dropdowns added to the form in the format shown
        // Open Log Console (Ctrl-J), enter update_dropdowns()  (Ctrl-Enter)
    There are over 30 choices in my present iteration of var aList, but for brevity I've only listed the 3 examples to illustrate my JavaScript.
    Currently when I have to update the dropdown, I follow these steps
    Open form
    Open UpdateDropdowns Document JavaScript
    Add the additional value(s)
    Highlight and copy the updated var aList
    Close the Document JavaScript
    Update the form in the Log Console
    Repeat process for all forms (pasting in the new var aList to ensure conformity)
    Is there a way to update all of my forms at once without having to go through this form by form process?

    That sounds fantastic try67.  I have the most recent version of Acrobat Pro.
    I'm unfamiliar with the process.  Will 'Help' be able to walk me through it?
    I'm not in the office anymore, so not in front of the program.

  • Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog

    Hi Community,
    I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
    Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
    E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
    If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
    E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
    There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.

    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.

  • How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

    At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
    I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
    Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
    Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

    My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
    I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
    Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
    You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

  • Does anyone "Trap" javascript errors and prevent the submission of a request?

    I am wondering if anyone has implemented a way to capture when a JS error is triggered and prevent the submission of a request.
    Websphere 6.1
    Oracle 10g
    Linux 4
    RequestCenter 2008.3 sp7
    I am wondering if anyone has implemented a way to capture when a JS error is triggered and prevent the submission of a request.
    I have noticed that if someone selects a unique option (that was not considered or tested) that a JS error occurs and then they can submit the requsistion with out any validation. 
    This causes problem especially if a mandatory field was missed farther down the form.
    Thank you
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    Interestingly, we've found that in Version 9.1, all errors are trapped and the form locks up (which is a change in behaviour) and we were planning on logging a defect for it!  As, when service definitions change over time, it can very rather tricky to unpick absolutely everything without having an impact on the new service definitions (particularly when you have upgraded from 2007.x where ISF was the only way to do anything!).
    Thanks,

  • Incorrect Infopath content type update in form library after modifying Infopath form and publish it

    I have an admin approved InfoPath form. I added new fields to that form and mapped those new fields with site columns. After uploading updated published form through CA, I noticed InfoPath Site content type for that form got updated (with newly added fields)
    under Microsoft_Infopath group. This content type is also added in form library but somehow the new fields are updated incorrectly for this content type existing in form library (it doesn't show new fields, and shows one new field which is incorrectly
    mapped with other column this is happening only in library). 
    Things I tried:
    - Activate/Deactivate that content type feature
    - Deactivated feature, removed form from CA, re uploaded and activated feature
    - Removed those new fields and published and uploaded InfoPath form and then added those new fields and published and uploaded again.
    -Deleted those fields from InfoPath and readded new fields and published and uploaded form but still the problem persists.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Dhaval Raval

    Hi Thanks for the response,
    But Update all content types inheriting from this type is already checked.
    That form library has multiple content types associated with it , different infopath forms get submitted there. What I noticed is that when I change the form and publish it, its corresponding site content type gets updated but the same content type used
    in form library doesn't get updated properly. I went to form library and checked that erroneous content type, there were some columns missing and one column was mapped incorrectly. When I clicked on "Parent" content type, it was showing all the new Infopath
    fields(updated content type). So I figured that Infopath site content type was getting updated correctly but it was not able to propagate those updates (in a correct way) to the form library. I also tried to edit that content type and tried adding existing
    site columns which were missing but surprisingly it was not showing those site columns either, which were mapped from Infopath publishing.
    The cause for this behavior is : changes/updates to the Infopath content type are not getting propagated to the form library and this is happening for only one infopath content type but other Infopath content types are getting updated.
    I had to delete all the forms using that erroneous content type and then had to delete that content type from the library and then re-added that Infopath content type to the library and this time it was having correct content type (updated columns).
    This is not a perfect solution for the production environment, sounds like it is a bug.

  • Create a JSON file from a form submission

    Hi there, I am trying to create my first BC app but struggling to find a solution to create some data inside BC, I need to create a JSON file from a form submission that will be used as feed for my app.
    How I see it working:
    - Form submits details { Name, Email, Phone Number and a Date.} to a JSON file.
    - My app.js will read the JSON file and populate the content on a graph.
    Any other ideas will be much appreciated.
    I don't know if BC is has another way to host data from an app! but if you know pleas share.

    Hi Liam I must be explaining it wrong then, I am creating a BC App not an WebApp, At the moment I have my BC App generating the WebApp but once its done the JSON is generated somewhere in BC where i cannot fetch I tried using some directories to fetch it.
    I created the app this way:
    function tryWebAppCreate(data, xhr) {
        $.getJSON("booking-data/webapp.json")
            .done(function(webAppJsonDescriptor) {
                createWebApp(WEBAPP_NAME, webAppJsonDescriptor.webAppCustomFields, webAppJsonDescriptor.webAppSampleData, loadTeamMembers);   
            .fail(function() {
                systemNotifications.showError("Could not load webapp definition file");
    But now to fetch it i tried: ( replacing the braces with appropriate IDs)
    /api/v2/admin/sites/[site id]/webapps/[app id]/webappp.json
    My 3rd party App will connect to my BC App and from my app i have another call to send the JSON info.
    I just cant call it! maybe if you know how please let me know.
