Unable to open PDF form using latest reader

Unable to open this PDF: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-130.pdf

It is something we consider, but the cost to implement is pretty large and many more users encounter the forms that we do support. However, we do see a number of users request being able to fill this sort of form in the forums and that feedback is appreciated. Bottom line, this isn't something we have immediate plans to implement, but it's a request we hear and will continue to consider.

  • Unable to open PDF files or Adobe Reader

    I am unable to opern adobe reader or download a ner version of adobe reader.

    Apparently the original software download was corrupt.  I tried to 
    "change" it through the add and delete software area of Windows, and  re-installed
    the software.  That seemed to work.  Debating on whether  to upgrade to one
    of their other products.  I could certainly use  fillable forms, signature,
    and modifiable documents. 
    Thank you for responding.

  • Unable to open PDF files with Adobe Reader v11.0, in Windows 8, using C# Process.Start()

    I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File")
     in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
    However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8,
     does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager,
    but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot
    this problem.
    As a test, I created ta batch file, with a simple command that calls AcroRD32.exe with a PDF file as a parameter. When I executed the batch file in cmd window, it opens the PDF document. If I execute the batch file using Process.Start(), again it does not
    work. The CMD window opens but, the document does not open. The cmd window just stays open.
    So, there must be something with opening the PDF using the Process.start() command.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    This is something Adobe has to troubleshoot. Probably the pdf file association is broken. I suggest you to visit forums.adobe.com to ask Adobe about your problem.

  • Can't Open PDF form in Adobe Reader 11.0.3 on Mac OSX 10.8.4 Intel

    Hi,
    I hope you can help, this is driving me nuts.
    I have a PDF Form which opens fine in Windows Adobe Reader, when I attempt to open it on OS X I get the following:
    Please wait...
    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
    For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.

Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries.
    No matter how long I wait it will not replace this text with the actual form. I have tried installing the latest 10.x as well and still have the same problem.
    How can I debug what is going on rather than just "waiting"...?
    Thanks!

    I'm encountering the same problem on the two computers below. Email attachments will open in the same manner. Attempts to download or open PDFs on the Internet result in a black page with no content or the warning you've noted above.
    Macbook pro 15 running 10.8.4
    Mac Mini running 10.8.4
    I am able to open PDFs on a Mac pro 17 running 10.7.5. I have used airdrop to move the document to one of the above two computers. This results in the original file becoming corrupted and unable to open and the file moved to the other computer will also state that it is corrupted.
    There is clearly something amiss in Adobe and Mac working together. (And it is causing considerable frustration at this point.)
    I should add, I have the full Adobe PDF product on the Mac Mini.

  • Error opening PDF files using Acrobat Reader 9

    I use Acrobat Reader 9 to view PDF files. I have Windows XP operating system on my machine.
    In order to view encrypted PDF files on our company webiste we have to install FileOpenInstaller.exe or FIleOpenInstaller.msi which is Adobe Component
    Therewas no issue viewing/accessing the PDF files until last week. But now we get below error when we try to open encrypted PDF files from our company website.
    The error message is "Unable to get server data [FO error #2114, OS error #0)
    Any idea what could be the cause of error?
    Is anyone aware of any possible issue with Adobe FileOpenInstaller.exe or FIleOpenINstaler.msi packages

    I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

  • Firefox 6.0.2 cannot open pdf's using adobe reader

    Dear all,
    Firefox seems unable to use adobe reader to display pdf's. I've set Firefox to use adobe reader and I've set adobe reader to accept use within a browser.

    Thanks for the replies. Dave, thanks for the really helpful link.
    The problem that this has created is for some guys who are previously sending reports (multiple pdf's/portfolio) to their clients in a hassle free way since it only requires the client (recipient) to have Adobe Reader installed. Now it requires another program as it was sort of separated from the Reader family. Previously, instead of having the ussual coversheet for the PDF portfolio to include that it is best to view on the latest version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat, will now need to include the latest version of Flash player as well.
    I have not tested yet, though probably on another topic, but does this also affect if you are planning to open a PDF created in Indesign and given the format of  "page flip"?
    Dave, do you have any tips on a possible workaround or atleast creating a pdf portfolio or any PDF document with SWF/flash capability to be user friendly or less hassle for a recipient to open?
    I am really sorry if I have a lot of questions =(

  • Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

    We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
    The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
    Clicking "OK" closes IE.
    We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
    What we did to date:
    1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
    2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
    3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
    Any other suggestions?
    Need to have this upgrade.

    I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
    Help?

  • Unable to open PDF Files with adobe reader VI

    I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader VI I am still not able to open PDF Files. When I click on the file I get a blank window with a  little black box inside a White X!    This black box appears  in the upper left hand corner of the blank window! Please any help to overcome this issue is welcomed...Rick

    You are not addressing Adobe here, just fellow users, and you are not providing enough information about your problem. Based on the little you say, I would sauy that you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

  • "Unable to Open" PDF attachment using BlackBerry PlayBook when message is received from Exchange 03

    Hello,
    Recently I have found that some users are having an issue with opening PDF attachments on the BlackBerry PlayBook using their Exchange 2003 accounts.
    I have isolated the issued to only users on Exchange 2003 using activesync.
    To resolve/workaround you can select and hold the attachment until you have the option to "Open" or "Save As". Select "Save As" and rename the attachment to the same name but include .pdf at the end of the file name. This allow the attachment to open in Adobe and show the PDF document in the email message correctly.
    Messages where being recieved as .null attachments with same file name but no extension.
    Hope this helps anyone.

  • I am unable to open pdf links using firefox 4 beta 11. Error message is "....ashx file cannot be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening file"

    I can open some pdf file in FF beta 11 using Adobe reader, however some links to pdf files cannot be opened. When clicked, the error message above appears. There is no option to open the file, so I have had to switch to Safari to read these pdf file.

  • Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

    When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.
    See also:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Cannot open pdf portfolio using adobe reader X

    Hi
    Previously, I thought that having Adobe reader 5 or up is enought to be able to open PDF portfolio's created in Adobe acrobat X, though on a differing level of view depending on the Adobe reader version.
    My Problem is, I tried to open a PDF portfolio, I have Adobe Reader X and it came up with an error.
    Newbie question, So, to view portfolios or any PDF's with flash etc, the ussual Reader would no longer suffice?
    Regards
    Jani

  • Submitting pdf form using Adobe Reader

    Using Acrobat 9 Pro I created a form to capture personal info from donors to our non-profit. When displayed in Acrobat 9 the SUBMIT button works as intended (brings up a message to send using my Email client with the pdf attached and addressed to the Email I have entered in the URL block.) Using the SUBMIT button while in Reader 9 on another PC I receive the error message that "this operation is not permitted". My preferred solution would be to enable Reader to do the same as Acrobat 9. I understand that Reader cannot save a form. Since I am only collecting at most 9 small fields I could live with just getting the data from the forms. Since the donors may have various versions of Reader, I need a solution that does not require the latest versions of Reader (8 or 9) to do these actions.

    For your application, e-mail is probably a bad idea. However, if you insist you should have the form submit a FDF or XML data file, not the PDF. You can open the FDF and XML files in the original form to see the data if you desired. The data file submission is not limited to the 500 use limit of the form. Due to the nature of the material, I would think it is much safer to submit the data to a web server and not through e-mail that is typically not very secure.
    A last note it that e-mail submission requires the client machine to be using MAPI. If not, they will get an error and you will be blamed. Submitting to a web script avoids this issue.

  • Unable to open pdf file using version 9.5.0 and 10.1.2 / Windows 7 HE / IE 9.0

    My issue is very similar to Elaina920.
    I have Adobe Reader version 9.5.0, running on Windows 7 Home Edition, using IE 9.0.5.  When I attempt to open a pdf document from a secure site, a new window opens, but nothing happens....just a blank (white) screen.
    When I try to do the same thing using IE 9.0 64-bit edition, a new window opens and I get a "Do you want to save...." dialog box.  But when I click on Save or Save As and attempt to save it as a .pdf file, I get a "[file name] couldn't be downloaded" message.
    Things I've already tried:
    - IE / Tools/ Internet Options / Security / Custom Level / Downloads / File Download is enabled
    - IE / Tools/ Internet Options / Programs / Manage Add-Ons / Adobe PDF Link Helper is enabled
    - Checked for Adobe update and got "No Updates Available" message
    - Ran Repair Adobe Reader Installation and re-started PC
    - Upgraded to version 10.1.2 and applied patch program  ==> no change in how the program works
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Ed.

    When using a 32-bit browser, the PDF document should open in the browser (using the Adobe Reader add-on).
    When using a 64-bit browser, it will ask you if you want to save the document, or open in Adobe Reader.
    If neither of these methods work, then it is the website that does not let you download the document (for whatever reason, e.g. server overload).
    Try if you can open this document: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.2.pdf
