Why do prepopulated forms not open up correctly to be read and printed using Adobe Reader?

We are creating forms that we send to clients. Generally the clients are using Adobe Reader to open the pdf's. Why can they not see prepopulated data on the forms. They need to click the area where the data is to see it. When they attempt to print it, it comes out blank.

Hi,
Did you use Acrobat to create the prepopulated forms? If you did, please submit your question to Acrobat forum. The team there can help you.
Thanks,
Wenlan

Can not Printing using Adobe Reader V9.0, OS is Windows Vista

Help Me Please! I can not print in Adobe Reader. This is what is happening: I select print, the status bar shows pages being sent to the printer, the printer Hicups, clicks, clangs, clunks, and Burps and nothing comes out; No error, No copy. I'm running V9.0 but the same thing happened in version 8. I thought it was something to do with the down-load. What gives?

Sorry for disappearing; gotta make a livin'
No, I haven't looked for an updated driver for my printer but I will give that a try. I was able to print using the "print as image" function but it really bogged my system down to pre-Pentium days. I'll let you know if the driver update works. Thanks for reaching out!

Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe Reader

Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
The problem which i am facing is:-
In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
PDF will never show up in case of reader.
I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
I really need uregent help on this.
Thanks in advance for help.

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Printing using Adobe Reader not working

I am using .NET to open .pdf file with "Print" option. This should print that .pdf file on default printer of the system. But in reality, when I run my program, it opens blank Adobe Reader window and just hangs there, no page gets printed. My C# code looks like following:
Process process1 = new Process();
process1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
process1.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";
process1.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
process1.StartInfo.FileName = completeFileName;
process1.Start();
Above code could also be written in vbScript.
Can anyone let me know why Acrobat Reader does not print any page?
Thank you in advance.

The paper trays are both 8" x 11". The top tray has checks, the bottom tray has plain paper. When I go to print, the print dialog defaults to the last saved setting which is supposed to use the lower tray, however when checking the setting it says upper tray. I have to switch to either another setting or to the Standard setting, then back to my saved setting in order for the paper tray to be set correctly on the lower tray. I would expect that whatever setting the saved setting has, it would change to the necessary settings and use it instead of using a default settings. I don't know if this is a bug in the OS X or the HP driver.
For example. I go to print in Safari, the printer says OfficeJet 7140xi, the Preset setting says OfficeJet (Lower Tray). When I check Paper Type/Quality, the paper tray is set to Upper Tray. I switch the Preset to Standard and back to OfficeJet (Lower Tray) and check the Paper Type/Quality and now the paper tray is set to Lower Tray. So, initially, when the print dialog comes up, it ignores the Preset settings and defaults to some other settings and manually you have to switch the Preset to another setting and back again in order to get the correct settings.

Fillable Form will not print from Adobe Reader on iPad or iPhone - Works on a PC

I created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I saved it giving it full Adobe Reader capabilities. I emailed it to myself and a friend so that we could open it up on our iPad and iPhone using Adobe Reader, fill in the information and then print the document. When we send to print, it only prints the form, but not anything we entered. When I opened the document in Adobe Reader on my Dell PC, it worked fine and I could print the document including everything that I entered. What could the glitch be with iPad and iPhone. We are running the latest IOS6 version with Adobe Reader installed. Why won't this work?

It should work with the update to Reader 10.4. "Enhaned compatibility with AirPrint means improved printing of completed forms as well as documents with comments."
I don't have AirPrint on my printer to test. Is your printer AirPrint compatible?
I can get it to work with Printer Pro which I'm running on my iPad.

Decoding 2D barcode on forms printed from Adobe Reader

We use LiveCycle Designer 8 in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro to create forms, which are then opened, completed and printed using Adobe Reader, then signed by the user and mailed back.
We believe we can put a 2D paper forms barcode on the form, but if filled in by Adobe Reader the data gets encrypted and so cannot be scanned (though if completed by Acrobat, the data is not encrypted - unfortunately most customers do not have Acrobat)
We heard that you could buy software or a hardware device to enable the received printed forms to be scanned and the 2D data decoded - is this correct still?
Thanks

In regards to the Decoder, this is a piece of software that does the actual decoding of the barcode from a printed and scanned form (or faxed). It can decode barcodes from both TIFF and PDF documents.
If you are using a high-speed scanning solution then you more than likely have a decoder built into your solution. If not, then the decoder is an ideal add-on solution. In fact, with the new Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ES you can not only decode but you can integrate the data right into your existing workflow quite easily.

How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms

Otto Gold at the forum "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe" gave me the tip that Sandra Rossi in this forum might help me out. Here is the link to my original thread How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms
My question was:
Hi Experts!
Did anyone of you manage to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms? In order to save administration effort we use frontend printing in our ERP system. We just changed some SMARTFORMS to the new Adobe Forms technology. Now we learned that direct frontend printing does not work with these forms.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gerald

I think you'll be disappointed by a rather negative answer but I'll try to explain everything I know (or think I know) the best I can
The simplest solution is to do a preview, and print from Adobe Reader! (as I could see on one project, users have to display one more dialog than usually to print) It's the best workaround according to me.
How Adobe form printing works:
When you print an Adobe form from SAP, a printer language (PCL, PS, ZPL, PDF) is retrieved from TSP0B table according to the device type, ADS (Adobe Document Services, installed in the SAP java stack) is then contacted to generate the form: a file corresponding to the printer language is generated and sent back to SAP (there are also 2 other little files but it's of none interest here). SAP stores it as a file (named SPOOL...) in the global directory (DIR_GLOBAL when you use AL11 transaction).
When you ask SAP to print it, it sends the file as is to the printer.
Note: when you ask SAP to display the spool, SAP sends a request to ADS which will send back a PDF (binary stream which is not stored on disk, just displayed on frontend).
How frontend printing works:
If you want to print a normal spool via frontend, SAP doesn't know the language of the printer you will choose. SAP sends the spool in a format named SAPWIN to a frontend program named SAPLPD, it converts the SAPWIN format into GDI, a Windows format that is understood by all printer drivers, and it is sent to the printer driver (you have selected) which converts the GDI format into the printer language.
Any workaround?
First possibility would be that ADS converts the PDF into SAPWIN format (by creating an Adobe .XDC file at the ADS side). SAP says it's not possible in Note 685571 - Printing PDF-based forms. As I understand, SAPWIN is a very simple language compared to PCL for example, so it is very difficult to convert a PDF to SAPWIN without losing much information. There's a SAP note about the SAPWIN language if you want to check.
Second possibility is to print directly the PDF through Adobe Reader: you get the PDF from ADS, download it to the frontend (easy), and execute directly Adobe Reader print function. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's possible. Moreover, we should enhance the standard SAP print dialog...
Third possibility is the one I recommended at the beginning of this post

Why do pdf files not open in firefox and display on screen?

I am unable to view pdf files in firefox and have to default to Explorer. Why is this happening?

I have had this problem in Firefox version 3. I updated to Firefox 4 and again I received a message that Adobe Acrobat could not be opened witthis browser.
Howver, I went to "Opening PDF files in Firefox" in Firefox support.
I followed the instructions under "Check Firefox settings". Iset the Action for Adobe
Acrobat Document to "Use Adobe Reader 9.4 (default)" and IT WORKED.

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected? I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
A.   Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
Is this the ideal solution---NO. Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

Infopath Forms Not Opening in Broweser - Problem not organization wide, just one user

I have a browser enabled, Infopath 2010 form that has been in production in Sharepoint for a couple of years now. The form is a browser enabled form but it keeps opening in the Infopath client when the forms are opened via Sharepoint. As far
as I know, there is only one user in our entire organization that is having the problem. The problem did not start until a new site master page was implemented a few weeks ago.
In addition to the form not opening in the browser, he does not get the sharepoint drop down arrow when hovering over a file name in this library. I was going to have him try selecting "edit in browser" but he does not get the menu.
I've seen dozens of posts on how to resolve this Infopath issue as an enterprise wide solution, but my problem is limited to one user.
The following has been confirmed:
Infopath Forms Services feature is active
The form was designed and published as a browser enabled form
The library advanced settings for "Opening Documents in the Browser" has the option selected for "Open in the browser".
The affected user is using IE 9 32-bit. I made sure he was not using 64-bit as I've seen a lot of other Sharepoint problems with that before.

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest to do as follows:
1. Please check whether add the following code in the master page(<head/> tags).
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>
2. Check whether it works on the user colleague’s computer.
3. Try to use IE8 to check whether it workds.
Thanks,

Why does the installer not open and finish the install after it downloads?

I do not not understand why the downloader will not open and finish the install after it downloads - all I get is more advertising junk trying to sell me things I don't need.

Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.

Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.
Today, I noticed that if the PDF from is opened from Chrome when it is rendered from an IIS server using the following methoed:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
Response.WriteFile(""...file-path-name...")
Just Yesterday morning it was working fine.
If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
I reported this problem from Chrome using "Report Issue". I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Aodbe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working
Tarek.

UPDATE:
This is a reported issue in latest Chrome Update:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=333449
This is an update to give more details.
Following is the environment I use:
Chrome Version (type about:version into your omnibox): 32.0.1700.76
Adobe Reader: XI
Adobe Acrobat 9.5
Operating System (Windows 7/8/Vista/XP, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS): Windows 7
Extensions (type Chrome:extensions into your omnibox): SnappySnippet 0.4
- Adobe Reader Plugin is enabled.
- Native PDF Viewer is disabled.
- All other extensions are disabled.
Note: I am rewriting the problem discription to clarify.
Few days ago, I noticed that if the PDF form will not be rendered properly, if it is opened from Chrome over ASP.NET Website, and when it will be rendered from an IIS server using the following method:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
Response.WriteFile("...file-path-name...")
I am 100% sure it was working fine before. Also, it is working fine from IE 10 and Latest FireFox version.
If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Adobe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working.
When I navigate to the link using Chrome to render the PDF Form, I can see that Adobe is trying to open the PDF Form, and then I get a black Window.
Sometimes the PDF form will open in the following cases:
1. After waiting for several minutes
2. When I detach the browser tab from main browser window
3. When I resize the Window or Minimize/Maximize it
I have no problem whatsoever when I use IE or FireFox.
See attached snapshots for more details.
Appreciate your help.
Tarek.
