HOW TO OPEN XFA-BASED PDF FORMS ON FIREFOX AND CHROME
Search
Last updated on Feb 22, 2022
ISSUE
The built-in PDF viewer introduced with Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome do not
support XFA-based PDF forms. Therefore, XFA-based PDF forms do not open in later
versions of Firefox and Chrome.
SOLUTION
To use XFA-based PDF forms on Firefox and Chrome, perform the following steps to
configure Firefox and Chrome to open PDFs using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
Note:
Ensure that you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat installed on your machine.
CONFIGURE FIREFOX
In Firefox, choose Tools > Options.
In the Options dialog, click Applications.
In the Applications tab, type PDF in the search field.
For Portable Document Format (PDF) content type in the search result, select Use
Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) from the Action drop-down list.
Click OK.
Restart Firefox.
CONFIGURE CHROME
In Chrome, go to chrome://plugins/.
Click Disable under Chrome PDF Viewer, and click Enable under Adobe PDF Plug-In.
For more information, see Adobe PDF plug-in documentation by Google.
Note:
LiveCycle ES4 provides support for rendering XFA-based forms into HTML5 such
that the forms can be opened in browsers with HTML5 support, including those
running on mobile devices like iPad. The HTML5 rendition of the forms maintains
the layout of the form design and supports most form logic (such as JavaScript,
form calc, and form validations) embedded in the XFA form template. This way,
your technology investments in XFA forms are carried over easily to devices
where running of the Adobe Reader plugin is not feasible.
For more information, see Upgrading to LiveCycle ES4, LiveCycle Mobile Forms
documentation, and LiveCycle product documentation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
* You are in control of your data.
You can control how Adobe websites use cookies and similar technologies by
making choices below. But note that if you disable cookies and similar
technologies entirely, Adobe websites may not function properly.
* What are cookies and why does Adobe use them?
Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser when you use
websites. There are also other technologies that can be used for similar
purposes like HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects, web beacons, and
embedded scripts. These technologies help us do things like remembering you
and your preferences when you return to our sites, measure how you use the
website, conduct market research, and gather information about the ads you
see and interact with.
* How do I make choices?
You can make choices in the menu below about what cookies and other
technologies you want us to use on Adobe sites when you visit them from this
browser. You can always change those choices later by clicking on the Cookie
Preferences link at the bottom of the page.
IF ENABLED:
* We can improve your experience by tailoring the site and the content to
things we think might be of interest
* We can better keep track of your preferences — like what language you prefer
to use
* We will better understand your likely interests so we can provide you more
relevant Adobe ads and content on non-Adobe websites and in non-Adobe apps
* It will help us improve the performance of our website and those of our
partners who use the Adobe Experience Cloud
IF DISABLED:
* We won’t be able to remember you from session to session so the experience
may not be tailored to your interests
* You’ll still have access to the content of the site but certain features that
depend on cookies may not function
* You’ll still see ads, they just may not be as relevant to you
