Adobe Reader "No Error" warning. Ver. 20.13.20074 onwards. (Lexis Smartforms)

Hi,

 

We have an issue amongst our users, whereby when attempting to open legal forms (with smart-form data entry elements), a warning dialog saying "No Error" comes up twice. Then the PDF will not load showing the attached result. We cannot find anything about this online.

 

This only seams to be happening on the latest and the last version (21.001.20135) and previous version (20.13.20074). A full uninstall and roll back to build 20.12.20041 appears to fix the issue, but we are unable to replicate. Also, only happening to around 10 or so users, all using the same draft form.

Please note, at the time of the attached screenshots, all versions were up to date at the time of screenshotting, and all affected machines are currently running on the older version for compatibility across the company.

As an extra note, this only started happening upon the auto update to build 20.13.20074, for around 10 out of 100 users.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Matt

It's hard to say from just that. It would probably be best to contact whoever created the form to see if they can help.

Hi,

Speaking to the company who make the forms (who have also posted https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/error-message-quot-no-error-quot-when-trying-to-assemb... ) it looks like it is an adobe or config issue rather than the form itself. As mentioned older versions open the file perfectly. The issue is intermittent, so we are unable to replicate the issue forcefully.

 

We have compared all preferences and add-on's between affected installs and working ones.

We just need to know what a "No Error" (x2) error is to start trying to diagnose.

 

Thanks again.

Sounds like a bug since Acrobat Reader should support XFA-PDF forms.

We are also experiencing the issue. I upgraded to the new version as suggested and the error persists for me. So far I have only seen the issue on the 32-bit Windows version. I recently installed Reader on my Mac (so it's 64-bit) and the same form I cannot open on my Windows machine opens just fine on my Mac.

Hi,

 

Since my last reply, it looks like we are also having this same issue. Even when the 32-bit version is uninstalled, and replaced for 64-bit, the built in upgrader seems to update it back to the 32-bit version.

 

Unfortunately, as they are legal forms, the creator and distributor Lexis may wish to supply the forms themselves:

Same to me for 64 bit version. But a created a reg files to be run by the user every time his enconter this error.

Just copy:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\IPM]
"b4304509"=dword:0

 

in a text file and saved with .reg (ex. reset.reg )

I hope this is a temporary solution and Adobe fix the issue a.s.a.p.

Bhavna,

 

Thank you for looking into this. Attached are 2 forms all of our Windows users are having issues with. The forms work fine on the Mac version of Acrobat, but not the Windows version. I can confirm that both forms worked fine in previous versions of Acrobat on Windows.

Hello Everyone,

@Matt5EFE  @Al5E2A 

 

We are trying our best to reproduce the issue at our end with the PDF file shared.

And we will need more information from your end, to help us investigate further.

 

Please try the following steps and share with us through  https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/send/ -  

1. Create a dump from "Task Manager" when you see the “no error” prompt.

2. We see that deleting the registry at the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe folder, is working. Please share the registry hive. You can right-click on it and select “Export”.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Hello @Matt5EFE  @Al5E2A 

 

We would like you to test the following steps. 

1. Please ensure that Acrobat/Reader is closed.

2. Goto the computer registry, and navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\IPM

3. The registry “b4304509” should be set to 0.  You can double click to change, and set it to "0".

 

4. Now, navigate to below-mentioned paths, and create a new registry-  See attached screenshot. 

 

Path (Reader): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureState (Create the FeatureState key if not present)

 

Path (Acrobat): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureState (Create the FeatureState key if not present)

Key name: 4304509

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 0

 

5. Open the PDFs, and let us know if the issue goes away.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Bhavna,

That fixed the issue. For your records:

* The b4304509 key on my machine was set to 1, so I reset it to 0 as per your instructions.
* On my machine in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node, the entire Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureState path did not exist. I had to create all of that, not just FeatureState. So is that maybe the issue?

Hi,

 

On PC's that have the Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\IPM path, changing the registry to 0 does fix the issue. 

As with @Al5E2A the paths do not exist on all machines, so will have to test as and when the issue strikes again.

In addition to this, we have found that Outlook cannot preview PDF files after the "no error" error has occured.

 

Is there another easy way to fix that?

After more experimenting, if you change the default viewer on the system to Adobe DC, then it resets the value to 1, and also if you do an adobe "repair installation", it resets to 1.

 

Upon restart, the Outlook preview still does not work, but the b4304509 key remains at 0 thankfully.

Hi,

 

It looks as if this issue as since re-appeared when they systems update to version 21.007.20099 and later.

The issue is once again occuring with only machines now with the modified reg edit as previously changed.

 

It has been fine up until now.

 

We temporally fixed it by uninstalling the application, then clearing out all adobe files using the software "everything", then re-installed, but it seems the fix lasted a couple of days before happening again.

 

Please advise urgently. Thank you.

As also referenced in https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/error-message-quot-no-error-quot-when-tryi...

 

This issue has returned as of update 20099.

 

It is now becoming a pain in the legal sector, as Adobe is obviously the industry standard for PDF documents, and all the legal institutions use smart PDF forms for paperwork and files.

 

Please advise urgently if an update is in testing to fix this issue!

Hi,

 

This is becoming a major issue now, and the fixes already suggested have not fixed the issue.

 

It has re-occured as of version 20099, and as of yesterday and todays updates, has caused a lot more machines, that were fine on the latest version, to also become troublesome.

 

We have recreated the issue by using the last version and updating to the latest, or on the latest version, using the "repair installation tool".

 

In our investigations, it affect fillable PDF's created using Adobe Live Cycle Designer (our version of the document is specificaly version 8.2)

 

A Lexus smart form is attached for reference. (lrtr1.pdf)

 

There is also another version of the document on the government website which is a micrsoft word version of the document (which works fine). (TR1.pdf)

 

Unfortunately due to the quantity of these smart form documents, (around 6 thousand documents) it is not fesiable to re-create them one by one in the word form type.

 

Surely, Adobe should support documents created in thier own document creation product?

It is Matt5EFE by the way, on our Adobe DC subscription account. I hadn't realised I was logged in with this instead of my one.

@AnandSri 

FYI, myself and Matt5EFE are the same person, this account is just our premium DC subscription account.

 

Please see all attached screenshots, its happening on the latest version. Only seems to affect a machine after the install is updated or its install is repaired.

Clean installs are okay until the next update where it breaks again.

 

Unfortunately re-installing Adobe Reader fresh for every user, every single time an update is pushed out is not a viable option.

There is also no easy way to prevent Reader DC from updating automatically.

Could you advise a simple way to do this for the time being?
