I've tried uploading this pdf in Firefox and IE8. I started by editing the existing document and uploading a new version that way. I also tried new > file and get the same results. The link is below. I'm able to view the pdf locally in Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Any ideas?

Cascade version 6.8.3.1

    Hi Lauren,

    What sort of result are you seeing? Does the PDF preview show the "Please wait..." message, or is it completely blank?

    If the "Please wait..." message displays, I suspect the issue is that the browser preview, and OS X Preview are not able to load the JavaScript within the PDF, which results in the form not being able to load. Acrobat and Reader; however, are able to load the JavaScript, which is why you are seeing the form locally.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks

    Ryan, In IE I see the "please wait message" when trying to view the pdf in Cascade. In FF, it looks like it is going to load, then it gets to 98-99% and jumps between the two. If I go to the published page, in either browser, I get the the please wait message. I can view other pdf's in both browsers, but not ones that we have updated lately.

    Hi Lauren,

    The PDFs that are not displaying correctly, do they also have the "Please wait..." (ie JavaScript) in them? I suspect this may be an issue with the PDF itself and not Cascade.

    Ryan,
    It looks like you are right. For anyone else that's out there that might have the same issue. This form was created in Adobe LiveCycle. If it was saved as a dynamic pdf, it caused the error when uploaded. If you go back and save as a static pdf, then it works fine.
