Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2.  I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop.  She could not view the document through email.  Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list.  I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder.  I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.

You're on to something KJ!  Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro.  I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead.  I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't.  Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2: 
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

    Hi,
         I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
    Check this link:
    [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
    Points that you can note:
    1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
    2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
    3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end.

  • Acrobat 9 March 6th unable to view pdf created in AA9

    I have Adobe Acrobat v9 and have done some maintanence on the pdf.
    My client on his office computer can see the pdf , On his home computer he is unable to view the pdf he tells me he has adobe reader 6
    can any of you guys see the pdf ?
    address is http://www.financialcounsellors.org/
    select Forms on the menu bar and then the 3rd link down (Hugs Application Form)
    TIA

    It was no problem in AA8 to see the from. My guess is that you are using some features in AA9 or Designer (if you used the designer forms part of Acrobat) that AR6 can not recognize. You might try to save the form a AA6 compatible (use the Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer for this save).

  • I have a pdf form created in Live Cycle Designer, that submits on a PC and not a Mac

    I created a Fillable form in LiveCycle designer. It has a submit button that submits to a php script that save the filled form to the server. It works fine on a PC in both Firefox and IE, but on Firefox it opens Acrobat and I get a file not found error when I hit the submit button.
    Any suggestions on why this happens and how to fix it?

    I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables.  The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows.  Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

    Sorry, this is a user to user forum and we're just customers who help out when we can, so things don't always happen right away.
    Reader, Regardless of OS or device, is as the name implies, only a Reader.  There are different mail settings between Mac Mail Outlook and Thunderbird as well as Andsroid's mail app, whose name escpoaes me.
    Have you checked in the Live Cycle Forum? There are people there with FAR more experience using LC developed forms. It's part of my Creative Suite, but I've never even opened it myself.

  • Live Cycle Designer PDFs won't send over email

    I recently created a few PDF forms using Live Cycle Designer, but when I went to distribute them via e-mail I ran into an issue. Every time I attached a PDF file, it isn't recognized by gmail.

I tried updating my Live Cycle software, downloaded the new version of Reader, re-started the computer, etc. but nothing works. Help!

  • XML error when invoking a form created by live cycle

    I have created a pdf form with Live Cycle Designer 8.0. When I open the pdf document in the firefox browser, in many times I get an error message: XML analys error. This does not happen with Internet Explorer. Is there anything I can set in Live Cycle Designer in order to avoid that error message?

  • Convert a Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF

    Hi,
    I am assigned to the task of converting Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF. I tried all options know to me but cannot succeed. The forms in LC designer is a fillable form with two buttons at the bottom. (Print & reset). The controls on the forms are
    Textbox
    Checkbox
    Print & reset buttons
    I tried the following options
    print  to a new pdf but the form became non-fillable with no controls
    importing into acrobat as new form but it said "document contran xml form and cannot be imported"
    tried save as with no success
    I am willing to re-do the form but trying to minimize the re-work
    The add or edit fields on form menu is not available for the form generated in live cycle.
    we want to get rid of all live cycle dependencies and stick to bare bones acrobat
    Please help

    The only way I can think of woudl be to print the XFA form to PDF (using the Print driver that comes with Acrobat). This will create an AcroForm PDF for you but all fields and structure wil be lost. This will give you the boiler plate, then you can use the Form Tools in Acrobat to lay fields on top of the form.
    Note that if you want to change some of the boiler plate you will have to go back to Designer and repeat the process. You may want to bite the bullet and redo the form now.

  • Fdf format should work with pdf's made with Live Cycle Designer!!!

    using: Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0; Windows XP.
    I have need to take data from a SQL database and display that data on various forms that were created by a city Agency, the DOB. Some of the forms were created using Adobe Acrobat version 6. For those forms I am able to create an .fdf file and open the associated pdf by using a run statement in my prorgramming language. This is very nice. The fdf format is easy to recreate, and the run statement opens the pdf with the data displayed automatically, WHICH IS MY DESIRED END RESULT!!! Users click a button in my program, they get a form with the data on it.
    Now the DOB has created new PDF forms that were made using Live Cycle Designer. Much to my suprise, documents create by the designer cannot handle the fdf data format, just xml. This is a real problem for someone trying automatically populate a pdf from data collected not using the form itself. The xml data format cannot automatically open the document and populate the form data the way the fdf does. I spoke with tech support and they had no answer for me but to recreate the forms. That will take me days.
    It is hard for me to understand why you would create a tool such as Live Cycle Designer that prevents a user such as I from using all of the features of your Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 product. Very suprising.

    You might ask about this in the regular forum. There are several form experts there that may be able to help you.

  • Unable to view PDFs from the Safari browser.

    I am using Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader 10.1.0, running on OS 10.6.8.  Until recently I had no problem but am now unable to view PDFs from websites.  What I get is a totally black document.  I can create PDF files which I can also open outside of the internet.  Any ideas?? 

    There seems to be an issue with Adobes plugin and Safari 5, your options are:
    Wait for it to be updated.
    Uninstall the plugin nd let Quicktime handle it.
    Install Schuberts PDF plugin from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/

  • Unable to view PDF files in Infoview

    I am unable to view pdf files in InfoView (Business Objects Edge Series XI 3.0)
    When I select the pdf file from Infoview, I receive the message 'Do you want to save this file' which only allows me to save the document to a location on my computer.
    Other users can view the file in Infoview, so it probably relates to a setting on my computer.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I've had a little look on Adobe's knowledge base; try this to check whether the issue is related with opening PDF in your browser in general:
    "Determine if the web browser can open the PDF file from your local hard drive rather than from the web:
    In the web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
    Choose All Files from the Files Of Type pop-up menu (Windows)
    Click Browse
    Select the PDF file you saved in step 1 of task 5, and then click Open to open the PDF file. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file, but won't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file."
    If so, try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here:
