SLOW form loading in Adobe Reader 7 in software app on ONE laptop

Background: We have a developed application from a software vendor that uses Adobe Reader 7 for the forms. We have about 50 PCs and laptops that run this application.
Problem: ONE of these laptops starts off the day loading these forms ok, but after a short time, 30 min. to an hour of use, it CRAWLS when it loads the form. We're talking a few seconds or less than a second at the beginning of the day to MINUTES later on. Have reported it to the software company - but they don't have an idea. We have tried Deleting Cookies and Deleting Temporary Internet Files. Also, reorged the hard drive and found some bad clusters. Didn't seem to help. Have already reloaded Adobe Reader once, but probably looking at doing it again. Other stuff, like MS Word, e-mail, Internet Explorer, etc. seems to NOT have a problem
Question: Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this problem and how do we fix it?

Sorry, did not see that forum selection. I will post my question there. Thanks.

Reducing form load in Adobe Reader / Optimizing Interactive Dynamic Forms

I have a four page form that is taking approximately a minute to minute and a half on my T61P with 3 Gigs and Intel Pentium CoreDuo T7500 @ 2.2GHz. Everything loads up fine so it is only this pdf that is the problem.
Can someone help me or point me to a resource that shows how to tune this form to reduce the load time in Reader. BTW I am on LC ES 8.2 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. I am using Acrobat 9.0 Reader exclusively for a Reader.

I checked your forms, tried following on my end and it seems to be working as expected with this one little change......
You housed section 12 in a subform named "Subform2" and set Min Count 1 under Object>>Binding tab......Now I also set "Initial Count" as "0" which seems to have fixed issue but not the good practice to follow. Try it out on your end and see if that is the case....
However I suspect this issue is primarily caused by the way you have your layout designed....I noticed you have your form designed with few subforms as well as few open items not wrapped under subform which may be causing this issue.

Interactive Form viewed on Adobe Reader for iOS submit problem

We have created some interactive .pdf forms that, when completed and the submit button is pressed, will access your email client, populate the "To" and "CC" fields as directed in the form script and send the form as an attachment.
Those fields are left blank on both the iPhone and iPad when accessing the forms via the Adobe Reader app.
I have not yet been able to test them on an Android operating system.
This is the URL of one of the forms:http://www.trinitylutheranlcms.org/forms/faith_chest_class_registration.pdf
Is this a bug or have we missed something?

The current submit mailto: capability is limited in that it doesn't process tokens like "cc=" and in some cases, it doesn't process multiple recipients. This is something we are expecting to have fixed in a future release.
Hope this helps.

Link broken for Adobe Reader and Runtime Software Distribution License Agreement download...

The link provided as part of the Adobe Reader and Runtime Software Distribution License Agreement, for downloading the PKG to mass-deploy Adobe Flash Player to my users (so I can update their machines to protect against yet another Flash exploit) keeps redirecting to typekit.com.
How do I go about getting the latest PKG so I can deploy the fix?

Can you try clearing your cache? This was indeed a problem earlier today (sorry!) but should be corrected now.
Thanks,

How to enable my plug-in for loading by Adobe Reader?

I create a plug-in for Adobe Reader, but after 5 seconds by Adobe Reader loaded my plug-in, the Adobe Reader will prompt "Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit", and then the Adobe Reader will be disabled.
what's the problem? what should I do?

Yes, I read this section.
The contentis as follows:
Visit the Adobe web site and fill out an Adobe Reader Integration Key License Agreement. There is a fee involved. The Adobe Reader Integration Key Licensing Agreement can only be submitted as a web form. Information can be found at http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_developer.
Once your Adobe Reader Integration Key Licensing Agreement is approved, you will receive a contract package that includes your contract number and other information that is unique to you.
but when I click the web link: http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_developer, it will jump to http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat.html, as follows picture:

Still using XP Pro, can I "print to file" (option) an online bank form, import to Adobe Reader XI, sign it and email it as attachment, without printing first?

I am told by my bank's customer service rep, who believes that "print to PDF" is available in Windows 7, there should be a way to import a form or document to Adobe Reader XI, sign it and save the result in order to email as attachment. I am trying to avoid using a fax machine or a scanner, not yet set up. In addition, Windows 7 is in process of being loaded on another laptop, but not yet complete.

"print to PDF" from what? If the form is already a fillable PDF, then just fill it, save it, and send it via email (or share via Files at https://cloud.acrobat.com/).

Why can't I save a recently filled-in form (PDF) in Adobe Reader Touch app on Dell tablet?

I recently purchased a Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet and installed Adobe Reader Touch so that I could view, fill-in, save, and print PDFs. I do have the newest version (2.0), but whenever I try to save/save as after filling in a form, it won't let me. I can print the PDF....but cannot save it. I am aware (or think) that this function is a newer feature for this app....but cannot understand why it is not working for me. Can someone please explain why I am running into this issue? Should I be able to perform this task with the 2.0 version....or are these functions not available yet?
Thank you for any guidance!

There is a special subforum for the Touch version of Reader:

Error when i open a form (pdf) in adobe reader 9

Hi,
I have designed a form using designer. When i open a pdf on my system i am getting below error popup(Snap shot below). But others are not getting this error with the same version of adobe reader.
What is the issue. Is it design issue. If yes then plz provide me solution.
errror: Invalid enumerated value:inactive
the fault occured on line 558
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Just a hunch - in your script are you setting the presence of an object to "inactive"?
If so, this property is not available in Acrobat/Reader v9.1.
Otherwise is there an error showing in the JavaScript Console (Control+J in Acrobat)?
Last suggestion would be to press the 'check syntax' button at the top of the script editor.
Good luck,
Niall

Open the form in Adobe Reader.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

How to paste into PDF form opened by Adobe Reader?

Hi,
I need to fill out and fax a PDF form online that I've opened with Adobe Reader 9. Typing in the information is straightforward enough, however I can't seem to be able to paste onto the form. Is there some feature that I need to change that will enable me to do this?
I know the alternative is to print out the form and then fill it out but my preference is to do this online, if possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you mean "open in full screen mode"?
If so there is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
The script is in buttons to show the separate functions, but you can combine the ones you want in the docReady event.
Hope that helps,

Issue tabbing through form fields on Adobe Reader 9.2

Hello everyone. I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can assist me with. We are currently using IE6 and Reader 5.5 in our production environment and we are currently testing IE8 and Adobe Reader 9.2 for deployment. Our company uses a web portal where we have many pdf forms that open within a web browser. The problem we are experiencing is that when tabbing through fields on the pdf, the cursor will eventually cycle down to the end of the form and then start cycling through to the top of the browser (toolbars, address bar, search bar,etc) before finally returning to the pdf document's fields. Is there either a setting in the reader or maybe even IE which controls this functionality and will limit the tabbing to only the pdf form? Or does anyone know of a method of limiting the tabbing functionality to only work within the pdf document itself when opened within a browser?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have looked through all the reader preferences and do not see anything directly related to this. Thank you very much in advance.

I guess by QTP you mean HP Functional Testing 11. This is really something to take up with HP, it's the job of monitor software not to crash.

Does anyone know how to clear the fields between uses of a form used in Adobe Reader on an iPhone?

The iPhone app for Adobe Reader is automatically saving the form each time it is filled out. (Windows Adobe Reader does not do this.) This means that you have to manually clear each field before you can use the form again. Does anyone know a work-around?
Thanks,
