For the preview you need to have Acrobat PRO on your machine. If you have Acrobat on your machine, then goto windows Task manager kill the Acrobat Reader (AcroRd32.exe).. Then open the Acrobat PRO on your machine. Then test the Preview option in your LiveCycle Designer.

Thanks

Tried ticking/unticking preview in internet explorer, tried setting filetypes back to reader, read the above links, no solution as of yet.

This problem seemed to come out of nowhere. Why is there no fix for it yet?

Hi,

i got this issue too a while ago. in my case it either showed up due to an update gone wrong or  due to updating to reader 9.3 (i think).

I had to reinstall acrobat to get a preview i'm afraid.

sorry i dont have an answer, good luck
