Why can't Adobe Reader X update the data matrix?

Hey guys,
I create via Livecycle Designer an new PDF, add two text fields and insert a data matrix from formularbarcode.
As one of its properties I set a collection (the two text fields) on which the data matrix is based.
The two text fields are variable.
After saving the PDF and open it with the Adobe Reader and fill in the text fields the data matrix code changes to a grey box.
If I do this with the Adobe Acrobat Professional,  it'll work. Where is the problem? Please help!
best regards,
David

  • Why can't adobe reader remember my page?

    I have the settings set to open the last display page when I open the file and it normally works fine. But sometimes all the files in my computer will restore to the original status like it shows the first page and the font is very big. I don't know what I did and it seems to happen randomly. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? It's pretty annoying. Thanks!

  • Why can't adobe reader users open a link within a form?

    When form is opened using Adobe Reader, links do not work.  However, if opened using Acrobat XI Pro, the links work fine.
    This problem has been going on for a few months now.  I'm not sure if there was an update to something or if this is just a bug that needs fixed.
    If anyone has a solution, please advise.
    Thank you,

  • Why can't I select or update the Record using the PreparedStatement?

    the DB is oracle9i,here is the test table
    test
    id number;
    name char(10);
    intro char(10);
    I have insert a record in the table.
    Now I will select or update the record by using the PreparedStatement here is my code:
    sqlStr = "update test set intro = ? where name =?";
    PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sqlStr);
    stmt.setString(1,"my name is irixwang");
    stmt.setString(2,"irixwang");
    int is = stmt.executeUpdate();
    if (is >=1 )
    System.out.println("ok");
    It will not work ,but where I change the update condiction as followed:
    sqlStr = "update test set intro = ? where id =?";
    PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sqlStr);
    stmt.setString(1,"my name is irixwang");
    stmt.setInt(2,100);
    int is = stmt.executeUpdate();
    It works well,why?
    please help me!thk!!!!

    I doubt it works "well" in either case since you are inserting a string that is longer than 10 characters into a field that only holds 10 characters. But to your question....
    A char data type holds a fixed number of characters - in your case 10.
    Because it holds 10 characters it will never hold 9, regardless of what you think is in the field it will always have 10 characters in it. The value you are using for query for name is 9 characters. Since 9 characters, regardless of content, will never be equal to 10 characters there is no way that it will update.
    So your choice is to either use a varchar, which holds a variable number of characters, or to always use 10 characters for your query (pad it with spaces.)

  • Why can't Adobe Reader find or search for words on a PDF document?

    I have seen where people have the same problem whoes comments where dated back in June 2011.  WHEN WILL THIS PROBLEM BE FIXED?  I am sent PDF files with multiple pages of documents that I have to go through.  I need to find documents by employee names.  Please help.

    Are you able to select the text? If not, then it's probably just a scanned image of text, not real text. In that case there's nothing you can do about it unless you run OCR on the document in Acrobat or some other similar application.

  • When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

    When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

    Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

  • Why can't I open PDF files on my iMac. I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license, as instructed then quit the application and relaunched it and I still can't view the PDF document. The screen comes out black. Please advice. Thanks

    Why can I view PDF files from the Web on my iMac even after I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license agreement.I then quit the application relaunched it, as instructed snd still the PDF document comes out blank or black. Please advice. Thanks

    Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

  • Why can't Adobe continue to support and create updates.....

    Why can't Adobe continue to support and create updates for MAC G5 OS X Tiger?
    I'm sure I'm not the ONLY owner and operator of this MAC machine. I'm finding it
    VERY frustrating how your comany, JAVA and Apple of just written this machine off.
    You know, MAYBE I'd be more understanding if this MAC product or ALL MAC
    products weren't so reliable. However, like many MAC users out there
    there's NOTHING wrong with my machine or my current programs OTHER than the
    simple fact I can no longer update Flash player or Java... all because
    my machine is no longer supported.
    WHY can't updates continue to be made? This way,ALL consumers are happy:
    those who feel it wasteful economically and ecologically to
    replace a computer with a NEW computer, and those who just like to have the latest
    and greatest tech toys.

    You can - click on the "Actions" link at bottom left of the post.
    As to the rest - nobody seems to like this forum, and what you're saying has been said on numerous occasions already.
    It's Adobe's fault for "buying in" this forum (sorry - "Social Business"  ) service, but it's Jive's fault for producing such a crappy solution in the first place.

  • Why can't Adobe do something as simple as giving us a desktop shortcut?  Or even better allow us to access direct from print option as we could do if we had the software installed?

    Now that I know you are talking about Cloud (not the focus of this forum -- a forum on Acrobat that does provide the icons and the reason for wondering what you were talking about). The Creative Cloud that I have does include the icons on the desktop. However, I am not familiar with the cloud service other than CC. If it is some other product, then exactly what is the product name. As far as CC, I get the icons on my desktop, so I am not sure what your problem might be.
    If you did not like the tone, I am sorry, But I honestly had no clue what you were talking about because you only said that Adobe icons were not coming up. You provided no information on the product or operating system that are fundamental to providing help. Adobe (the company name) has about 150 forums dealing with different products probably numbering close to 100. So saying no Adobe icons was meaningless to me and thus the question. I was trying to get information to help you. If you took it as an insult, I am sorry.

  • Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

    My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
    on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
    Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
    During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
    each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
    is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
    IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
    (0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
    Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
    CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
    The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
    anything at the moment.
    Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
    individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
    Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted? 
    Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
    What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
    files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
    The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:
    0x0409.ini                        5KB          Configuration Settings        2/18/2003
    abcpy.ini                          2KB          Configuration Settings        3/24/2003

    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
    After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
    Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
    After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
    As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

  • I can sign into Adobe but I cannot sign  into Adobe Reader for updates

    I can sign into Adobe but my password is rejected when trying to sign into Adobe reader for updates.

    Adobe Reader won't ask you to sign in for updates. Most likely, this is just the normal adminstrator password prompt you get when installing or updating software, and you use your computer's own password.

  • Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious,  common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?

    Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious,  common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?
    I've seen this requested in several past Lightroom versions.
    Is Adobe not addressing this basic feature for a reason?, I mean, even Aperture has this feature, it can't be that hard to add? Can it?
    Maybe Adobe isn't reading the feature request?

    Honestly, I am hardly qualified to even guess - there are tons of bugs reported that would be easy to fix, but aren't, features that would be useful and easy enough to implement, but aren't. Things like focus points which seem like a no brainer but are never implemented - your guess is as good as mine..
    But to be clear: focus points are different for different cameras, and are stored in proprietary metadata. - not impossible to get at, obviously, but requires some programming/maintenance..
    Worth noting: Apple is shutting down their Aperture business. Yeah, they support focus points and all kinds of good stuff, but I guess Aperture isn't a real money-maker for them (lotsa maintenance work, but not a lot of revenue) - relatively small market.
    Adobe has been working on Revel, and Lightroom Mobile.., instead of focus points (and bug fixes, and...) - my guess: that's where the money is, or where they think it is.

  • Why will my Adobe Reader 9 not open the downloaded CA6 Beta file?

    Why will my Adobe Reader 9 not open the downloaded CS6 Beta file?

    Hi,
    If your asking about the photoshopcs6_p1_installnotes.pdf, then it should open with Adobe Reader 9. It does for me with Adobe Reader 9 (9.5.0) on OSX 10.5.8.
    The PDF is saved to version 1.4.

    Is there any way I can downloaded adobe reader on my iPad so I can access some educational program's. if not can I get round it somehow?

    You can download Adobe Reader from the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Personally, I prefer PDF Expert or GoodReader, though.
