Why is a fillable, savable form on iPad taking 4ever to move from field to field when data entered?

How can I get my fillable, savable, calculated fields PDF form to move from field to field more quickly when entering data on an iPad/iPhone/handheld using the Adobe Reader app? I have tried everything I can find to reduce the file size, but to no avail. It is taking about 8-10 seconds to move from field to field after entering data. There is no problem filling in the form on a Mac laptop/desktop in regards to the lagtime. I haven't tried the form on any Windows OS product.
I suspect it has to do with the javascript, but I've tested other fill-in savable forms on my iPad (such as employer tax forms from IRS and State) and they work fine and move quickly. However, there are quite a lot of fields on this particular form I've created (270 to be exact - it is an order form for clothing with many size choices for each item), so perhaps it has to do with that as well. I came to this conclusion after creating one page of the form and it only took 3-4 seconds to move from field to field when entering data, but when I created the second page it went up to the 8-10 seconds.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.7.27 for/on iMac 10.7.5 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5.

I have this issue as well. I created an expense tracking form using the Acrobat X basic calculation tool (not javascripts) and it takes 10 - 15 seconds to move to the next field on an iPad or Android device. On my PC it works great. HELP!
I also tried using a trial version of Acrobat XI with the same result.

Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode. I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream). When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD. All device are on current releases of software. I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV. How do I correct this?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

How do I send am iMessage to a friend that has an iPad device? She is in my contacts but when I enter her name it won't work. (*note she has no other apple devices.)

Has she registered her e-mail address and/or phone number with iMessage? Are you using the same one that she registered?
She should open Settings > iMessage and make sure that it's set up.

Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on apple tv? When I download a movie on Netflix it downloads immediately.

Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on Apple TV? When I download a movie from Netfix it is immediate.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.

Adobe Reader unable to fill in Secured Fillable Adobe Forms on ipad

I am unable to fill in my Adobe Fillable Secure Form using Adobe Reader. Help!

Currently, the Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Android) do not allow users to make changes (including filling in form fields) to secure/protected PDF documents (whose contents are encrypted). Because saving encrypted data has not been supported yet.
Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac computer to fill in the secured fillable forms, instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

Ipad will not transfer movies from itunes: error is video format not supported

Recently itunes will not transfer movies I have purchased from itunes. I can still tranfer older movies, but the two latest purchased will not synch, it says the video format is not supported. it seems odd that APPLE movies from APPLE itunes will not play on my APPLE ipad. APPLE support was no help at all. I have retored the ipad and updated the software to the most recent version and nothing has worked.

I am having same problem with iPad and 3GS phones. Did you figure out how to do it?

IPad Air 2 Deletes Movies from Video App Yet Keeps Space Alotted

My new iPad Air 2 is deleting movies from the video app and leaving the space reserved in "other." When I examine this in iTunes on my Mac, the deleted movies now show their size as "stream" instead of their file size. This is highly annoying as I keep having to format and restore, and it keeps happening and I am losing a ton of space to "other."

I'm experiencing this exact issue on two devices:
iPhone 4S 32GB
iPad Air 64 GB
Both while running iOS 7.03 and 7.04 (recently updated both devices to 7.04 hoping it would help. It didn't)
My iPhone had become nearly unusable until I found your post. It had apparently accumulated >12 GB of "temporary streamed content", as after I did a backup/wipe/restore, I had recovered to around 12 GB free space.
It's unfortunate that the fix requires a complete reset/restore cycle, as it's very time-consuming, but thanks for providing that fix! It saved my iPhone 4S. Now I can comfortable wait until the 6 comes out to get a new iPhone.
Really, though, this seems like a critical bug for iOS devices. I'll certainly not stream any iTunes content until/unless this is fixed. I found that if I turn off "Show all Videos" in the Video App settings, it doesn't show the iTunes cloud content for streaming from within the App. This forces me into iTunes to do a full download if I want to watch something. Kind of a pain, but it beats a device that's maxed out on storage and basically bricked.

Can I set up a form so that there is text in the fields when the user opens the file?

My client is interested in supplying schedules of activities in a PDF, and would like it so that a person can use what's in the document, or replace their own information in place of what's supplied.
I've set up forms for filling in blanks, but I've not seen if some text can be left in the fields to start with. For example, leaving a "your name" text line in a field where the user clicks on that phrase and it disappears (like you see in a number of forms on web pages).
Is this possible with Acrobat? If not, we'll probably have to go to a Word based solution, but I'd get better design if I do it in InDesign and add this functionality to a PDF.

George,
Thanks for keeping track of the discussion. I appreciate that you've taken the time to help me. My clients love the fact they can create these curriculum schedules with editable blocks that will allow the original info to return if the block is emptied. Now they'd like book titles italicized.
I downloaded the Javascript reference PDF and found the "richValue" information, but I'm not grasping the concept of how to add it to my page. I'm not Javascript-literate, so I'm more inclined to add HTML tags or something like
and to make something italic.
Here is the example they gave:
Example
Turn all bold text into red underlined text.
// Custom format event for a rich text field.
var spans = event.richValue;
for ( var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++ )
if( spans[i].fontWeight >= 700 )
spans[i].textColor = color.red;
spans[i].fontWeight = 400; // change to default weight
spans[i].underline = true;
event.richValue = spans;
I think I understand the 400 and 700 numbers as font weights, and that "underline" could be replaced with "italic". So I'm trying to figure out what I would need to write in order to make specific words italic in a block of text in the example you provided:
// If field is blank, display this text
if (!event.value) event.value = "Your name here";
Can a span be ID'd by placing a sort of tag around the words? Like... (pardon my fake Javascript)
// If field is blank, display this text
if (words.are) 'i' then italics = true
if (!event.richValue) event.richValue = "Your 'i'name'i' here";
(You're probably laughing at my attempt here, but I hope my point is made :-) ).

When I was using my iPod, before the iPad 2 came out, I bought a movie from iTunes. Now when I try to download it onto my iPad 2, The store tells me I have to purchase it. I can't find the movie in my "Purchased" section in the iTunes store.

Like most other things, the iTunes store should automatically say "Install" before you even touch the app if youv'e deleted it in the past. Why wont it do this with my movie? I first bought it on my iPod and deleted it. Now I have to pay for it again?

While you can redownload most past purchases without charge, you can't redownload movies without paying again. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

How to transfer movies from mac book to ipad, how to transfer movies from mac book to iPad, how to transfer movies from mac book to iPad

I have downloaded a tv series onto my mac book and want to transfer it to my Ipad. I have used the USB cable to try and transfer and sync but it wont work
can anyone help
Thank you

In iTunes select your iPad from the left-hand pane under 'Devices', then select the appropriate tab from the top. If it's a movie then select 'Films', if it's a TV series then select 'TV Programmes'. You can check which is the correct one to use by selecting the category from the top of the left-hand pane and seeing which one the item you want to synchronise is in. Then ensure that 'Sync Films/TV Programmes' is checked. Finally click the 'Sync' button in the bottom right of iTunes.
