Can somebody help me and tell how can I put it work whit my extended PDF?
Thank you for your help?

Hello,
I cannot tell what are the exact differencies between the version. But I can tell you should always use (at least try to use the newest Reader). I guess you´re not the only developer on Forms, so there are possibly more people depending on the version of the client browser/ Reader. There is a solution for this problem, which does not ask anything from you, only the user.
You can easily test the Reader version through JS coding and act based on the result. I use this like this "if your Reader is lower than 8.1" then "message popup = We are sorry, your Reader is too old, this form won´t work for you. Please upgrade first.". It takes like 5 minutes (10 for lame users at max) to update his Reader.
Maybe you should this about such a test, if the user passes the test, his application won´t have any problem, if not there is no guarantee. And YOU have no problem, nobody tells you "hey sir, your form is not working, I´m not gonna pay you".

  • Adobe Form Calling WebService Doesnu00B4t work with Adobe Reader 7

    Hi experts,
    We have created and adobe form that simulates a PM Notification in which the user, without logging into SAP, through an RFC and WebServices can create the notification into SAP.
    This process only works with Adobe Reader 9 and not with Adobe Reader 7.
    Can anyone tell me what main difference/component/functionality does Adobe Reader 9 have that Adobe Reader 7 doesn´t?
    When I call the Webservice through the form in Adobe 7, a pop-up message appears that says:
    "Error attempting to read from file.
    http://desaecc6.codelco.cl:8001/sap/bc/rfc/sap/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/222/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12"
    Any ideas why this error ocurrs only in Adobe Reader 7?
    Thanks and best regards,

  • Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard Work With Adobe Reader 8.2.4?

    Hello,
    I have a question, but haven't found an answer to this yet.
    Can anyone tell me please:  Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard work with Adobe Reader 8.2.4?
    I had Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard on my computer & it was working with Adobe Reader 8, but don't remember what the version it was.
    I was using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard to scan very old family pictures & documents & I realize that this version of Acrobat is outdated.
    To make a long story short, my computer had crashed, so we built another computer & just replaced the hard drive.  When I went to Adobe, I had to download the newer version of Reader 9.0 & it didn't work with Acrobat 6.0., so I removed Adobe Reader 9 & I found Adobe Reader 8.0 & have downloaded the patches, so now I have Adobe Reader 8.2.4 back on board.
    Thank you.

    Adobe doesn't recommend any version of Reader with any version of Acrobat on Windows. It will cause problems. It just is a matter of how and when. The problem has to do with shared resources causing conflicts. If you have Acrobat 8, you can update it to Acrobat 8.2.4. You must apply the updates sequentially.

  • Interactive button in PDF file doesn't work with Adobe Reader for Mac nor Acrobat Pro

    Hello!
    I've to use a interactive form which has an interactive button that is supposed to send that form by email. If I open that PDF with my iPhone or iPad with the PDF Expert App, it works perfectly, but for any strange reason, when I try to open that same PDF in my Mac with Adobe Reader or Acrobat pro, that button doesn't do anything.
    Can this be a configuration error?
    Thanks!

    The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
    Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Firefox 17.0.1 on my Mac OSX 10.7.5 will no longer work with Adobe Reader 11.0.0. What shall I do to fix it ?

    When I try to read a page with Adobe Reader I get the following message:
    Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
    Why is that ? It occurer a short period ago, and prior to that I have had no problem.
    I have no problem when I use Safari - but normally I prefer Firefox.
    So, please help me - and tell me what to do.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

  • AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

    AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
    The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
    Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
    BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

  • How do I manually add the php3 file type to work with Adobe Reader, Safari does this automatically.

    downloading php3 files auto jumps to text edit,, cannot tell it to open with "adobereader" , no chance to do so. Tried reading on how I might add the file manually to tell preferences applications to add this file type and open it with adobe reader. Only saw download the file and then firefox will let you open with a program. Can't get there in that text edit opens it.
    Safari has no problems with this in that it opens it in adobe reader easily, no work on my part so ????
    how do I get firefox to do the same

    Do you get the dialog asking whether you want to Open, Save or Cancel? That may indicate the file type Firefox thinks it is getting from the server.
    If you can't coax Firefox into revealing the content type indicated by the server, could you post a link to one of the PDFs, assuming no login is required to access one?

  • Why is Firefox nownot compatabile with Adobe Reader and Adobe flash 10.o?

    The issue with Adobe Reader is when I fine the site I want using Google and the URL is a PDF file click on the site the document will not open.
    When trying to down load and install Adobe Flash player I got a message the it was not compatible with Mozilla Firefox
    currently I am running Firefox 6.0.2

    Pat-Thank you for the tip on Firefox not using Adobe Reader plugin.  I would like to clarify a couple of things.  I do not use Firefox, ever.  I had installed it just to see if I could pull up the PDF files, assuming it used Adobe.  I went to the link you mentioned (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136) on Post 6 at 12:10 a.m. I tried the steps more out of curiousity to see if Adobe would work on Firefox, but could not figure out how to do it. 
    At this point though, my concern is I still cannot get Adobe Reader to work on either Vista IE 9 or Windows 7 IE 11.  I still get this message on websites:
    To view your statement, you must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer.
    Download Adobe Reader for free by clicking here.
    I really appreciate your time and effort for all on this Forum.  I believe I may not be making myself clear though.  The Flash Player problem is resolved on IE 9 and 11.  But I have tried System Restore, Downloading from the Adobe and other sites when they give me the download adobe reader for free message, and my program manager clearly states the latest version of Adobe Reader is installed.  I cannot figure out where to go from here to get it to work, and as I mentioned before, up until a few days ago, Adobe Reader was working great on all my computers.
    One other item.  I notice I am getting literally hundreds of emails about Adobe problems in my inbox from others on the Forum.  How do I stop them from going to my inbox?  Did I set something on the Forum which is making it appear I may be an expert on Adobe issues?  How do I correct this without creating a new email account?

  • Why must I use Safari with Adobe Reader X?

    I operate a Mac (OS X 10.6.8) and I prefer Firefox over Safari. For years I have used Adobe Reader 9 with Firefox (6.0.2) and have had no trouble. Now I download Reader X and it demands Safari. So what must I do? Return to Safari (do not like it!) or return to Reader 9, which, incidentally, does not work on Firefox NOW! Why? Is Firefox bad news or something? If anyone out there in cyberland can help, thanks.

    And yes i can open by the programm itself directly, but i have no idea how to correct the file association then....

  • Email button doesn't work with Adobe Reader, only Acrobat

    Hi,
    I'm new to Adobe products and don't have much experience. Here's my problem.
    I used LiveCycle Designer ES2 to create a fillable PDF form, with an email submit button. (uses mailto: to open users Outlook and attaches the pdf automatically)
    The form is viewable by all, but the email button only works if opened with Acrobat.
    Is there a way to have this work with Reader? We obviously don't have Acrobat licenses for every user.
    Any support or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.

  • Does Firefox 31 on Mac work with Adobe Reader 11 to read PDFs in browser?

    Is it possible to open PDFs in Firefox 31 using Adobe Reader 11?
    Searching on the internet shows that Adobe Reader and Firefox have had issues working together for a long time. Are these issues still ongoing or have they been resolved?
    When I try to open a PDF in my browser it only shows a white page.
    I can't use PDF.js because the PDFs I need to use have editable fields and javascript programming.

    Hi Pagoda,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that you would like to know if Adobe reader 11 works in Firefox.
    We can try an experiment, because I do not know this yet. If you change the application associated with the .pdf extension temporarily and try to open a pdf how does it look? [[Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
    If there is a specific question about editable fields and javascript in a pdf, you can file a new issue in the pdf.js github repository: [https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/new] for more technical details.

  • Portege - Reel Time stop working with Adobe Reader X

    When I installed adobe reader x (to replace adobe reader 9) reel time stopped working - any advice as to how to install reader x without affecting reel time?

    Hi profpgsmith,
    Probably you must update Toshiba Reel Time as well?! After Adobe Reader X installation I would update Reel Time too that can be downloaded on official Toshiba website.
    Furthermore I would also run CCleaner that is a freeware cleaner to delete old registry keys and keep the registry clean.
