Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog

Hi Community,
I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

  • How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

    OK, so I have a situation.  I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document.  This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text.  The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file!  Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected.  In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form.  I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
    How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

    OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
    p=0;
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line.  Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
    Next, I tried this:
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
    What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
    Is this possible?

  • How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

    At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
    I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
    Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
    Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

    My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
    I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:

    You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

  • Adobe Reader prints some PDF's and Not others

    Hi
    I can successfully print some pdf files but there are two that I cannot print. the one I am having problems with is 24 pages and I cannot print this as singles pages or as a booklet. I can print the file from another machine. I though it was maybe because I was still on Reader X so I upgraded it to the latest Reader XI but that didn't help either. On the machine that can print the file it will flatten all 24 pages then print them. On the machine that can't print the file it starts to flatten the first page but when it hits 95% it crashes Reader. It doesn't matter if I am trying to print all 24 pages or 1 of the 24 pages it still crashes. But other PDF files print normally.

    My next guess would be HD-DVD, which is also not properly supported on the Mac. If there's some special extra form of copy protection, I suppose this could also present an issue. I've heard of that on CDs, but not DVDs. Another possible issue is if the discs are from a different region coding than your own. Imported DVDs can often have such region coding. Lastly, burned DVDs of pirated content often won't play because of broken copy protection duplication or if the content lacks the original menus on the original DVD.

  • 2 questions - I have downloaded the PDF Reader - Annotate, Scan , Fill Forms and Take Notes app to m

    When I fill out a form within this app and email it out the recipient receives a blank form, I looked in the manual and it says make sure you complete the saving process, but cannot seem to figure that part out.
    Also, these are forms I will be using on a daily basis and do not want to make permanent changes to the form, is this possible? Or will I need to create several copies of the form?
    Please help, as this is time sensitive subject.

    Can you please tell us what the recipient is using to view the PDF? Many viewers don't support viewing filled PDF forms and the recipient will need to use a PDF viewer like the Adobe Reader to view the form.
    You can make a copy of your form like this:
    In the file browser under Documents view, you should see an Edit button. Tap the edit button.
    Tap the file you want to copy
    Tap the duplicate/move button (two small documents at the bottom of the screen)
    Tap Duplicate
    That creates a duplicate copy of the document. You can then use the edit button to rename if you would like.

  • [JS - CS6] dynamic PDF forms

    Hi guys,
    I just come across the new PDF forms and the possibility to add them directly from ID.
    Is it possible to create a PDF with several forms and make them dinamically interactive?
    For instance, I have a "Quantity" field for a product that costs $5.00 and I need that when the user insert a value in this form I automatically get the sum (5 x $5.00 = $25.00) and display the refreshed sum in the PDF document.
    Hope you understand what I need...
    Thanks!

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.07 crashes and destroys the pdf form. Win 7/64

    I use several forms from the Canadian immigration department. These forms require VALIDATION after filling.
    Validation generates a set of machine readable codes that are included with an application.
    Lately, Reader will crash in the middle of filling in the form.
    The form also gets destroyed in that an error message talking about XFA comes up.
    When I load the damaged form, fields are no longer accessible and some fields have been corrupted meaning the previously filled data has changed to garbage data.....most fields are intact.
    Later today, I will redo the current form and cut the error message to post here.
    I will also post a link to a clean copy of the form....but I don't see an option to attach a pdf file!!!!
    Once the error / crash happens, I can no longer fill in any field on the form and the form cannot be validated....requiring a total redo that MAYBE works!!!
    When I try to load the "damaged" form, I get the red message saying that Java is not selected BUT it is!!!!!
    See
    Also how to attach a clean pdf file?
    For now I will insert a link to the file named "IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf"
    http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf
    Any suggestions please?

    The message tells you that form's Reader Extended capability is no longer available.  So when it crashed the digital signature which allows the PDF file to have the "special" capabilities must have been damage.  This means that that the "JavaScript" ( NOT JAVA.  JAVA is  a separate programming language.) capabilities that the form had before will no longer function.  It's not unusual for an application crash to damage a document no matter what the application is.
    You need to do a couple of things.  One, report the behavior to the government entity whose forms you are using of the issue, and two,  file a bug with Adobe via their bug reporting form.

    after updating my iMac to Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I cannot print pdf forms off the Web

    It would be great, if you could provide us with the following details:
    1. The OS you are working on.
    2. The version of MS Office installed on your machine.
    3. A screenshot of the error message along with the scenario in which the same is displayed.
    4. How exactly did you go about updating Reader 11.0.02 to 11.0.03. Was it via the updater mechanism or by downloading the patch from the Adobe site.
    Also, it would be great if you could let us know if there was any other Windows or Antivirus related updates applied on your machine in the same timeframe as the Reader update.

  • Preview and Safari can't open dynamic PDF forms

    I had no issues with dynamic PDF forms under OS X 10.6.8, Safari and Preview could open them without a problem. With Lion it is no longer working, Safari and Preview can't open these files, I need to use Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
    I just don't like Reader handling PDF's in Safari and now I have no choice until someone or Apple comes with the fix.

    Either someone has installed a client side cert into Safari or the site in question has let their SSL cert expire. (not your fault).  You could try using Firefox or Chrome instead.
