Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input

Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input when the file has been re-opened after it has been saved.
Example:
"Check box" that has been selected and who have registered Action script (may be that it should be disabled), seems to be reset when the file is re-opened, although it apparently is checked.
Are there settings or script that can prevent this?

Hi there,
usually if the values are not kept in form after saving and re-opening the form, it would be because of your code... or because it is not Reader Extended PDF...
If your code has a function which is to return a value to your field without it to be working based on your Design, it will reset any data..(variables)
Which means...
e.g.: You have an array/var/JSONobject which you populate varying on the data entered in the design, as long as you are in the actual form, without closing and re-opening the form, it will keep all values inside that array / variables / JSONobject. But, once the form closed and re-opened, if you have a function that returns a value to your field, whatever the field, from any variable in the script it will return nothing because every variables are reset. To avoid such a thing, you must repopulate all variables that were assigned previously before closing the PDF Form. To do so, I recommend to have a page(hidden) which contains every important values according to that function and you must repopulate those variables according to the values in the keepVar page...
If you do not have any function that returns a value to a field based on your variables, this is not the solution you are looking for and I am not aware of the reason why it behaves like this... Maybe more information on the behaviour of your form would help locate the issue...
Hope this help

  • Form created with LiveCycle is not saving the data of a fillable form.

    I had posted this in another forum, which got moved over to this forum.  Forgive the double post, I wasn't sure if it was assumed that it was resolved.
    This document:  http://www.southark.edu/employment/application-v5.pdf  was created a couple of years ago in Acrobat and LiveCycle.
    I wanted visitors to have the ability to fill in the document and save their data.
    So, I opened it in Adobe Acrobat X and saved it using the Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
    However, after filling in the document and saving, no data is saved.
    I was informed that since it was an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, that they have special considerations that don't apply to forms created in Acrobat.
    Still needing help in giving my visitors the ability to save their form data.
    Thanks,
    Charley

    Thanks so much for your reply.
    Employing your solution our website visitors can save the data using Acrobat Pro.
    They cannot save their data using Reader (most of them don't have Acrobat Pro).  See image below.
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks very much for your time and interest.

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.1 does not remember Duplex setting

    Restarting the old thread.
    Some techinical issues have rendered the earlier post read only.
    Johnapp - 12:03pm Oct 9, 2007 Pacific
    I am printing with CUPS under Ubuntu Feisty and I have defined a HP Laserjet-4Si-4Si-MX-600-dpi printer/driver and set the default duplex setting within the CUPS system to long edge binding.
    However, every time I start Adobe Reader 8.1.1, the properties window for that printer shows Duplex Printing: Off. If I change it in that dialog, it is remembered as long as the program stays open, but after closing and starting fresh, this is again set to off.
    Since I nearly always want to duplex-print this is extremely annoying.
    Is there a way to set the default within the Adobe Reader program? Is there some way to pass settings to the program or to force a setting for this through a configuration file?
    The documentation of these issues is extremely lacking, not to say entirely missing, it seems.

    hi johnapp,
    We are not able to reproduce the problem at our end.
    Can you please try out the following things at your end. It will help us in isolating the issue.
    Is the above behaviour also happening with properies other than "Duplex"?
    What happens if you press the "Defaults" button on the properties dialog? Does the "Long Edge Binding" option comes up on hitting the "Defaults" button?
    Regards,
    Rishi
    Johnapp - 5:22am Oct 10, 07 PST (#2 of 3)
    Yes, all the properties in the properties dialog are affected: page size, input bin, output bin, duplex printing. After restarting the program the same happens as pressing the "Defaults" button, setting all these values to specific values, of which the duplex setting is "off" and unwanted and different from what I defined in the printer configuration dialog of the OS.
    Neha Seth - 4:00am Oct 11, 07 PST (#3 of 3)
    Hello,
    Could you please try the following steps and let us know your observations?
    1) Go to the CUPS page (http://localhost:631) and change the default values of PageSize to "A2", Duplex to "Long Edge Binding", Resolution to "300dpi" and apply the changes. Please take a screenshot of the settings here.
    2) Launch Reader 8.1.1 (after removing the $HOME/.adobe folder) and open the print dialog. Choose the printer for which defaults were set in step 1 and click on the "Properties" button. Are the values chosen above listed in the drop-down boxes here? Please take a screenshot here too.
    3) What is the behavior on clicking the "Defaults" button now? Please take a screenshot after this step as well.
    Could you please send the screenshots to nseth at adobe dot com? I know this is a slightly time-consuming exercise, but it would be great if you could try the above, since the issue reported by you is not reproducible at our end.
    Sincerely,
    Neha,

    Scratch that, I got it to work.
    Even though the following commands:
    lpoptions -p printer-name -l | grep -i duplex
    and
    grep -i printer-name /etc/cups/lpoptions
    were both showing duplex as the default on both the client and server side and despite the fact that the lp and lpr commands defaulted to double-sided, acroread and it turns out even evince were not.
    I re-ran the command:
    lpadmin -p printer-name -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
    from the cups server for each of our duplex printers and now it looks to work fine.
    I'm not sure how or when this happened but it sounds more like something I did or else an issue with cups (perhaps an update made something inconsistent?) than it does an acroread problem.
    Thanks for your time,
    Elliott

  • Adobe send does not remember email addresses

    The new adobe send does not remember email addresses. Is there a way to make it?

    Hi remembering email address,
    If you're using Send via Adobe Reader, you can take advantage of your local contact list. Please see I’m trying to send a file from Adobe Reader, but I can’t access my computer’s address book to find my contacts. Why not? for more information about that feature.

  • Form created with Livecycle Designer with a SQL database - do you need LiveCycle Forms installed?

    Hello,
    I'm REALLY hoping someone here can help me, I have spent over four hours on the phone to Adobe in the last 3 days and I'm getting no where what-so-ever. I can't even find out where /how to complain about it! (but thats another story)
    Here's my situtation:
    I work for a company with approx 140 staff. On one computer, we have Adobe Livecycle Designer ES installed, and we have used that program to create a form which has a link to a SQL database.
    The link in this form doesn't work on the other computers which has the basic (free) Adobe Reader. From doing research within these forums
     , I have found that the form will not work on other computers unless they have Adobe Livecycle forms installed on their machines. 
    What I need to know (and what they cannot seem to tell me when I call), is two things:
    Is it correct that in order to use a form created in Livecycle Designer which has a link to a SQL database, that the machine must have LiveCycle forms installed?
    How much does Adobe LiveCycle Forms costs?
    PLEASE, if you can answer this question, I would REALLY appriciate it....
    Thank you!

    I presume you are asking if you need Livecycle Forms ES? Forms ES is a component of the livecycle software suite intended as a document service which will be installed on a server within the organisation. A couple of things this document service can do is to render XDP into multiple formats (PDF, html, etc.), execute script server side (for example the database connection) on behalf of the client (reader, etc.), integrate with backend components, etc. So no you do not install this on each client.
    For database connections to work, you either have a server with Forms ES installed which can connect on each clients behalf (ie. Client->Forms ES Server->Database), or you have a reader-extended PDF to allow connections to be use in the free basic Reader (i.e. direct calls to the database or using web service calls to your own database components). However, reader-extended pdf would probably require Reader Extensions ES component installed on a server (you once off extend your developed pdf through this and then hand it out to each of the end users). Not sure if the Acrobat Reader extensions will cover this functionality since I have not tried that. I dont think it does. Otherwise you would need full acrobat on each client.
    How much database integration is your form actually doing at the moment? read only? Full access? And how many clients do you expect to hit your database? Depending on what you need the form to do, there is always the option to try and build the integration yourself. Do simple http submits from the browser (hosting reader as a plugin) to some component somewhere which in turn hits your database. Wouldnt require additional licensing but alot more development work.
    As for cost for the various components, thats a question only Adobe can answer for you since they all sit squarely in the enterprise space and licensing for that is not as simple as off the shelf products.
    Maybe someone else has a view on it or has an alternative.

  • Form created by Livecycle Designer

    Dear All,
    I've created few formed by LC Designer. The form I fill with Adobe Reader for iPad will NOT be able to be seen in Acrobat Reader for PC. It can be seen in Adobe Reader for iPad. Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Jackson

    The iOS Adobe Reader does not properly fill in XFA forms created in LiveCycle designer. Thus, the PC and other readers cannot view the form properly. Others have requested the ability to fill static XFA forms from LC Designer as well, so we'll note your request as another "vote", however we have not decided whether or not we'll be able to implement this in the Mobile Reader. As an alternative to LC designer, you can use the Acroform forms creation tool within the Acrobat product to create the form.
    I hope this helps and I apologize for the inconvenience.

  • Firefox does not remember our usernames for hotmail anymore

    Since our update to Firefox 4.0, Firefox does not remember our usernames for Hotmail anymore. Only the last used username is remembered.
    We don't have problems with other websites regarding this.
    So why is it only with Hotmail?
    I cleared all cookies, but no change....
    Can you help us out?

    You can't save the name and password from Hotmail via the Password Manager in current Firefox versions. Hotmail (live.com) uses JavaScript to create the login form.<br />
    You should be able to use save form data to save user names and other form data like I posted above.
    Don't you get a drop down list that shows previously entered names?
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • I am unable to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.5 with LiveCycle Version ES1.

    I am trying to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.08.2073 (installed with Adobe Pro 8).  I am using LiveCycle version ES (installed with Adobe Pro 9).  I can open the fhe form, but the tools are greyed out.  It apears the file is locked for editing, but I cannot determine where/how to unlock it.

    You should try to start in safe mode which runs a file check. You hold the shift key down during a start up till there is a progress bar towards thr bottom of the screen. This start will take a longer time than normal. In safe mode try the functioins you are having problems with to see if there is an improvement. Some links below to read.

  • My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

    Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

    Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
    What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

    You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0 (AcroRd32) does not close

    Hi,
    I am using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>Execute method to print PDF form in foreground passing '/t' as parameter. Once executed the Adobe Reader opens and then the file opens and close and go to printer but the Adobe Reader remains open and does not close.
    Is there any way I can close the reader too along with the document?
    Thanks for the help.
    Regards,
    AShwini

    Whatever page orientation was provided during the PDF creation process will be the page orientation in the PDF.
    This is what is presented to a PDF "viewer" (such as Adobe Reader).
    Adobe Reader (or any PDF "viewer") cannot permanently change page orientation.
    Adobe Reader (& other applications) is separate from installed printer drivers so it is expected that the application isn't retaining what is configured in the printer drivers.
    (A change to a local or network printer's printer driver configuration does not "touch" the PDF viewer's configuration. - Cinnamon added to the mug of mulled applejack does not change the wine in the adjacent wine glass.)
    Adobe Reader defaults to whatever a given PDF page's page orientation happens to be.
    Using Acrobat one can permanently change a PDF's page orientation.
    Be well...

  • Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs

    Using an old school PPC Mac, OSX 10.4.11.  Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs. It only remembers the last page visited for searchable pdfs, but not for scanned.  I have the box checked in "Preferences: Restore last view settings..."  I cannot upgrade Reader on this system, or my OS, so I'm stuck using what I have for now. I have to read huge documents for my work, that will include hand written notes in the margin and other marks on the page. The documents are hundreds of pages long, so it's a bit frustrating that it can't remember the page number for this type.
    Are there any fixes for this? Something else I can try?

    I tried to find the download for 9.5.5, but my OS is not in the list. I'm on a non-intel PPC mac. I tried finding that version on the web, but most of the links lead me back to Adobe, where it doesn't seem to want to be found. It obviously exists somewhere, but Adobe isn't making it easy to access!

  • Cannot fill forms created by LiveCycle Designer

    Dear all,
         By using Adboe Reader for iPad, I can fill the forms created by Adobe Pro, but cannot view pdf and fill the forms created by LiveCycle Designer. Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Jackson

    Thanks for the reply. Right now I can create froms in Adobe Pro, but I need to create an "image file" which is only avialble in LiveCycle designer. Did the Acroforms you mention supports Image field? I tried to create a form with image fields in LiveCycle Designer, and then save as static form. It will work for PC but doesn't work for iPad.
    Thanks

  • Since re-install: SL does not remember anything (not even in the dock)

    Hi!
    I've have a problem with SL, that I can't solve. SL does not remember any of the settings I've done. When I drop a program icon into the dock it disappears after restarting the iMac (2011). All programs forget the last settings, means: Firefox does not show the bookmark bar although I placed it there, Pages forgets the last documents I've used, Mail shows me at every start the same old e-mail so that I have to scroll up to the latest mail received, windows sizes are not remembered and so on...
    I have already tried to repair the library permissions. But the problem is still there.
    I have created a new user account (with admin permissions) and in this account everything works fine.
    May the re-installation that I've done a few days ago be the problem? I did this because: I just bought this iMac and copied my files from the old G5-Mac to the new one. But the new one did not want to open these files ("no permission"). So the only solution I found on the internet was to re-install SL. Now I can open all of my files, but SL does not want to remember any settings.
    What can I do? Install SL again? Or is there an easy way to transfer my files from my usual user account to the new one I've created (that works fine)?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Save for Web does not remember quality settings

    Hello,
    I just about PSE8 today and Im on a mac with Leopard.
    PSE does not remember the quality settings when "save for web".
    The quality is 0 every time Im saving. Even if I change to 100 it does not remember it.
    Can you help please? Im far from being an expert here.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    However in my library-folder/preferences folder I found 5 folders or files which are connected to adobe.
    "write and read" is activated on all and Im the main user on this mac.
    There is even one file called "Adobe PSE für Web speichern 6.0 Vor" so pretty much like "save for web". On this one I can write and read as well.
    On Windows, there is a preferences file that is stored in the proper location for such files:
    C:\Users\Ellis\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Save For Web PSE\4.0\Adobe Save For Web PSE 4.0 Prefs
    PSE has no problem writing that file.  This sounds similar to the file you found.
    However, there is another file that Save For Web tries to write:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Settings\Recently Used Optimizations.irs
    It is this file that is located improperly, in Program Files, which is supposed to be only for read-only executables (.exe), dynamic link libraries (.dll), and other read-only assets live.  Programs normally don't have write permissions for these folders, so Save For Web fails to save its preferences.  Perhaps there is something similar on the Mac.  (I'm not an OS X expert, so I can't help with the Mac conventions of where things are kept.)
