Unable to view PDF forms

I use adobe live cycle to create forms for use in our company, these forms must be editable by our mobile employees by way of free text field and drop down boxes. The form work fine on a PC running Adobe Reader X but I am unable to edit them when using Adobe reader X on my playbook. Does anyone else have this issue or can anyone else offer a solution.

Hi ,
I had searched the forum and i am aware of the solutions provided there. But that did not work for me. I found some SAP notes which say Vista is suported with NW04S SP 12 onwards. My issue is our server is running on SP11. I would have to migrate the forms to ZCI layout for it to work.
Regards
Prakash

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.)

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.

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:

Unable to view pdf files in IE 11.

Unable to view PDF files in IE 11, Winows 7. Works fine in Google Chrome on same pc. Everything is up todate.

See the solution at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
However, that Fix-it won't work on Windows 7; you will need to make the registry change manually. Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script to change that registry value.

Unable to view PDF (baggage file) in CHM

Hi,
I have recently started using a new desktop pc running Windows 7. I am now unable to view PDF files (added as baggage files in RoboHelp) in the CHMs generated by RoboHelp. Even existing CHMs (generated before switching desktops) have this problem. Has anyone experienced the same problem and managed to solve it?
Sofie

A while back someone told me they had a similar problem with IE8 and advised they fixed as below:
"After fiddling around with some settings, I found that if you go to Settings/Safety and enable Active X Filtering, the embedded files open normally."
That will only fix it on your machine though. Do these CHMs work on other machines OK?

Unable to view pdf in safari

hello anybody can help- unable to view PDF files from the web

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Unable to view PDFs in Safari Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1)

Unable to view PDFs in Safari Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1), get black screen?

Never mind. This was my own fault. I had been debugging with the developer menu and had disabled images. Sorry for the spam!

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/

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).

Cannot view PDF forms (with Signature) in Workspace Error : "SigDict/Contents illegal data"

Hello,
With Jasmin's help, I am able to import a PDF form which is digitally signed >> view it in Workspace >> click Approve/Decline for archiving. Thanks Jasmin !
When I view the form in workspace, I get a "Atleast one signature is invalid" prompt on the top left corner of the window. Upon clicking the "Signature Panel", it says "The Signature is invalid" with a description of "SigDict/Contents illegal data"
Once the process is complete, I am unable to open the same form. I get an error message in Adobe Reader (within workspace).
"Adobe Reader could not open '_7358722841708390983-102[1]' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ( for example, it was sent as an email attachments and wasn't correctly decoded)"
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Aditya

For everyone's reference.
I figured out the "Signature is Invalid" message.
This was my fault as I used a Form Augmenter (insert form bridge) to a signed form which broke the PDF.
After removing that module, I no longer got that message. However, once I approve the form I could no loner view it and I would still get an error.
"Adobe Reader could not open '_7358722841708390983-102[1]' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ( for example, it was sent as an email attachments and wasn't correctly decoded)"
Anyone know why ?
Aditya
