Error connecting to WS with Adobe Reader with Reader Extension server

Hi all!



I'm using a form designed with Designer with Reader Extension. This form

connects to a ws in order



With Acrobat and the Acrobat Reader under 7.0.5 it's all OK, but another

user with Acrobat or Adobe Reader 7.0.8 received an error message when

trying to connect to the WS.

The error says that there was a problem reading the file and specified the

folder url in which there is the web service.



I remember that for some reasons, after 7.0.5 you've to certified the

document, but I can't certify a PDF form created with Designer :(



Anyone can help?



Thanks,

Alessio

You can certify a PDF created in Designer by adding a signature field to the form, saving as a PDF, opening the PDF in Acrobat, clicking the sig field, choosing the option to certify and following the steps.



However, you shouldn't need to certify a form to connect to a web service. You need to certify a form to import data from the file system.

Well, I just tried it to make sure, and I was able to call a web service fine from 7.0.8. Is it possible that someone at some point when Acrobat asks if you want to allow or block the operation chose block and clicked the check mark to make it remember that chose and automaticallly apply it? I notice that if I choose block it displays a generic error message saying it needs to be a certified form (which is wrong). Does it work from other machines?
