Right Mouse "Open With Adobe Reader X" on .xfdf file

If I right mouse click on a .xfdf file and choose "Open with Adobe Reader" it then opens the correlating .pdf (sometimes I have to browse to it) but the pdf is displayed with fields filled in with values found in the .xfdf file.
However, after upgrading to Adobe Reader X the data fields are no longer filled in.
What changed?

Even when I disable protected mode, I see it doesn't fill the form fields.
steve042966 , Can you try this once?
1. Go to Edit -> Preferences.
2. Uncheck 'Enable Protected mode at startup'.
Close all Reader instances.
Try opening xfdf file again and see if it fills form fields now.

  • Disable Right Click Context Menu in XP "OPEN WITH ADOBE READER 8"

    How can I eliminate the right click context menu "OPEN WITH ADOBE READER 8" in Windows XP?
    I have general familiarity with removing context menus. I see no option for this one in msconfig, or various context menu editors. I am unable to find a setting in Adobe Reader 8. If you know where the setting is, or have solved this problem, please let me know.
    Thanks,

    That would be the device Metadata from the print driver vendor. It's part of the Device Stage feature mainly for client OS.
    Here is some MSDN documentation on the feature.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/device-management
    If this is a print server, use the tools include by the print team if you are performing any management on the server.
    Printmanagement.msc
    The Devices UI is really about devices it's not designed for print management, the spooler team had minimal input on the UI design.

  • Reader 9 - "Print" and "Open with Adobe Reader..." options are missing from the right-click menus.

    Since upgrading from Reader 8 to Reader 9, Windows XP users are no longer able to right-click 1 or more PDF files from Windows Explorer and choose either "Print" or "Open with Adobe Reader...". Those options are no longer listed in the right-click menu. We have experienced this on several computers.  I downgraded a PC to Reader 8, and these options re-appeared, then disappeared again when I upgraded back to Reader 9.

    Could you tell me which version of Reader 9 you are installing?
    Please give the exact version it is showing you from Help | About Adobe Reader.

  • When I long hold a doc open with adobe reader does not appear

    When I long tap on a doc to open ; open with adobe reader does not appear

    Which app did you start with?  Apple Mail, Safari, iBooks or something else?
    Is a PDF document already open in other app?  If so, you can tap the PDF document to display a toolbar in the app.  Do you see the icon like this in the toolbar?
    You can tap the icon to open a popup then tap "Open in..." or "Open in Adobe Reader".  You may need to scroll to the right to find the red icon with "Open in Adobe Reader".
    In Safari, tap "Open in..." (blue text) in the top toolbar, instead.
    If you see something else on the screen, please let us know the name of the app.

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,

  • Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

    I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader.  Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

    Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

  • Form will not open with adobe reader when using chrome and mozilla

    The form opens fine in internet explorer, but when opened with chrome and mozilla it says that parts of the document could not be displayed and the 'submit form' and 'print' functions do not work? how do I get it so that the forms open with adobe reader as a pdf automatically instead of opening in another search engine tab?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Chrome and Firefox use their default PDF viewers instead of Adobe Acrobat / Reader and hence most PDFs will not be fully functional in those.
    For that you just need to change the settings :-

  • How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'?  And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open?  When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99.  I never wanted Acrobat.  How can I get -

    How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.

    I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad.  I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either.  Any suggestions please.

    Hi,
    When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
    Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

  • Form is filled on iPad then emailed.  If form is opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible.

    Form filled on ipad.  When opened with Adobe Reader all text is visible, but if opened with Acrobat XI no text is visible- form is blank.   Have been using this system for months with  no problems.

    That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
    so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
    And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
    very, very disappointing and frustrating.

  • The form can not be saved if open with adobe reader

    Hi all,
    I create a registration form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.1291 then I Save As both into static and dynamic
    Then when I'm open the registration form file using Adobe Reader 9 then there's message appearing says "Please Fill it up this following form . You CAN NOT save data Type into this document bla.. bla.. "
    My question is why if I open it with acrobat then the form able to be saved but it can not be saved if I open with adobe reader ?
    Need suggestion for this matter
    Thanks

    You need to Reader Extend the form to work with Adobe Reader..
    Open the same file in Adobe Acrobat and goto Advanced Menu -> Extend Features in Adobe Reader and save the file..
    Thanks

    Do you have any password or encryption settings in your Runtime Properties?I do not think so, but not sure. Is there a way to check it? Is there a properties file.
    Did I misunderstood it? but I can place both PDF and HTML files to the target location, the HTML filess are good only PDF files cannot be open by Adobe Read.

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • Every Programme that it is opened with Adobe Reader doesn't work What Can I do ?

    Every Programme that it is opened with Adobe Reader doesn't work What Can I do ?

    More information please.
    Version of Reader? OS?  Can you open reader by double-clicking on its icon? Can you open reader by double-clicking on a pdf file? What programs are trying to open reader? Some programs might be restricting your ability to view pdf files using the Reader plug-in due to security concerns. If this is the case you need to find out how to enable the plug-in in the case of each application.
