Preview of PDF is read-only

[TimoNL]

Hallo all,

I've an really weird problem. If I want to view an preview of my form in the preview screen, I see that the upperbar like it is in the reader is vieweble of less then an second en then it is gone. And the biggest problem is that the preview form is now read-only, witch means that I can't test my scripts with the debugger.

I installed an update from Adobe today, maybe that's the reason?

Greetings,

Timo

Hi Timo,

If you right-click on the Preview tab and select Form Properties from the menu.

There go to the Preview tab and in the Preview Type select 'Interactive Form'.

This will allow you to preview the form, including script and interactions.

Hope that helps,

You will not be able to debug from Reader ...the interactive console is only available in Acrobat. If you are speaking of the menu bar in Reader

you can activate it by hitting Ctrl-F. This acts as a toggle switch.

Thanks you both,

The answer of Niall was my problem, the setting was print preview. I changed that in interactive and now it works .

The answer of pquerett gave me the grey bar back.

Thanks!

Timo
