Is there a way to detect the Reader Type? I would like to check whether the user open the form using Adobe Reader or other 3rd party reader. How do I implement it in AEM Designer?

Thank you.

Try the forum for AEM Designer.

All you get with an XFA form in a non-Adobe product is the splash page telling them they need to download Acrobat Reader (or some such; the message changes and is hard coded to the PDF). No code will be executed, no content shown.

But there is no warning message you can set in an XFA form...

Can't you have static text and then cover it up using a field or something like that? I'm not familiar enough with XFA forms to say for sure, but it seems like something that should be possible...
