Adobe Acrobat

I have a few questions.

I am hosting a form on a web server (used only to access, complete and print the form - [u]no data binding[/u]).

1. Does it matter which version of Reader or Acrobat exists on the client PC?
2. Do I [u]need[/u] to allow 'user rights' in Acrobat?

I created the form with LCD 8.0 and made it compatible with version 7. I have no way of knowing what versions of Reader users may have. This form is being used by many outside firms.

One user told me he had problems because he has too old a version (I assume, of Reader) on his PC. I didn't think that would matter since whenever I open it from the webpage, it automatically opens in the Browser.

Any advice would be appreciated.

if (typeof(app.viewerVersion) != "undefined")if (app.viewerVersion < 8.0){app.alert({cMsg:"ATTENTION: To use this document you need Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher!",cTitle: "ATTENTION:", nIcon: 1, nType: 0} )}else{}

Hi Michael,

you can use a script in the initialize event of the form to check the version of the PDF-Viewer which is used.
If the viewer is too old or unknown a message pops up to inform the user that he needs another/newer viewer.
