Get or Save Unbound Data in Form

Greetings,
We're working on a project where we have a LiveCycle form that is bound to a schema.  We also have access to LiveCycle ES Forms and ES Output services.
When a LiveCycle form is accessed, we send our current applications XML and the Form Template to the ES Forms service, to get our partially filled-out LiveCycle form for end-user display.
The user then fills-in any remaining information and "Saves" the form, at which point we extract the XML using XFA locally (with SaveXML()) to write any changes to the database.
Here is the issue we're having -
We need to be able to take a copy of the filled-out PDF file to save it (all user-entered data included) to a file share, so we have a complete record of the form information that was filled out.  Some of the fields on these forms are not bound to our schema, because they might be fields that don't exist in our database, but still need to be filled-out on the form and saved to PDF.
The SaveXML() only returns schema-bound fields, so if we call the Output service with the original template and our XML result, we don't have any of the unbound fields.  Additionally, our users are using Acrobat Reader, so they're not able to "Save forms with data".
Given the services we have available, and LiveCycle's capabilities - what can we do to "Save PDF"... just so we can capture that entire PDF file that was filled-out by a user??
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
GS

I put this in the wrong area of the forums - feel free to delete.  I'll move it to the appropriate discussion.
Thanks!
GS

  • I can not boot my MacBook Pro. How do I get and save the data that is not backed up??

    I can not boot my MacBook Pro running on Lion 10.7.4. I pressed control, comment P and R keys and O got to the disk utility, then I tried to repair disk and it can not be repaired. I get a message that tells me to back up as much data as possible ?. But if I can not open the computer how can I save my data??
    I have a back up until 2 weeks ago on time machine. but the work of the last 2 weeks is extremely important how can I get it??
    If I use m time machine backup do I loose the additional data of the last two weeks!,
    Please help.. It's a huge amount of work that I have done and can not loose it

    If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
    Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

  • How to get a save-enabled PDF Signature Form on SharePoint

    Hello all,
    My first time posting. I did numorous searches and watched every training video I can find, but I have been unable to successfully complete this task.
    I have a PDF form, it is an approval sheet that must be maintaind for the entire lifecyle of the project.  At each step in the project diffrent people must sign the form stating that the step is complete.
    The form has been created and has approx 30 signature blocks.  The form needs to be saved on a SharePoint and accesed by diffrent people at each stage, some internal to my company and some external.  Some users have Acrobat but most have Reader (verious levels).
    What we are looking for is the ablity to check-out the pdf, sign, and check back-in. 
    We have tryed to save as a standard form, but then the user cannot save/check-in.  So we set it up for distribution and now it can be saved but its sent as a email back to our office assistant. We have tred using the distribute to SharePoint, but it only creates a response file and still send the email to the office assistant.  No emails are needed, just a form with the current signatures in it.
    I tryed just loading the form to the SharePoint but had the same issues (standard = no save capblity) (distributed = email).
    Is this possable and if so can someone please point me in the right direction.
    Any and all help is appreciated.

    SharePoint Integration was introduced in Acrobat X. So the signers will have to be on Acrobat X (latest patch 10.1.4) and above, to be able to check out the form from SharePoint and sign it. Just saving the form to SharePoint server and checking out from there should solve your purpose with Acrobat/Reader 10.1.4.You dont need to even distribute it.

  • GP doubt in  Data Input form

    Hi Experts,
    I have a doubt in GP Input Data Form callable object.
    When i insert a callable object of type "Data Input Form" and test it.
    It should display Input box and a button only. But i'm getting "Edit/View Attributes Values" and below i'm getting the input box, button. (u can view in following link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d027c966-b6de-2910-0681-cdb0be7e1b59 )
    My question is, How to avoid "Edit/View Attributes Values"?
    I was following the tutotial
    SAP Composite Application Framework - CAF Tutorial Center [original link is broken]
    Tutotial name: 33 Creating a Callable Object in Group - Data Forms (GP)
    Valuable answers will b rewarded.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Suba

    Hi,
    You are creating Data Input Form callable Object. The template for Data Input Form is provided by SAP. So you can not change the template. It is fixed.
    Which Service Pack are you using? The screen short within the link (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1f589ed1-0c01-0010-9988-e3a67384acd9) are taken from SP7 or before that. But from SP8 onwards you will not get that type of Data Inout Form template. So I think you are using SP8 or nowards. Now staing on your current SP level If you want to hide the "Edit/View Attributes Values" then you need to create your own (custom) Form either using Web Dynpro Application or VC application.
    Please set your requirement which technique and which SP you will use.
    Thanks

  • How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

    How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?  I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings.  They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name.  I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it. 
    Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
    Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
    Thanks.

    If you reader extend  a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

  • How do I save IRS pdf forms so that I can fill in and save the data

    when I downlaod a US government IRS form I am unable to fill in the form, save the data and print, I have tried saving as a pdf from the print menu and using the tools menu none of which works

    I know there is an app called PDFPen that is supposed to fill in PDF forms.  PDFPen is available in the App Store, but it is not free.
    I have no financial interest in PDFPen.  I also don't know if there is some cheaper way to fill in the forms.

  • Save a data form as a standalone spreadsheet...?

    Is it possible for a user to save a 'data form' as a standalone spreadsheet and then insert links into the form from a Master spreadsheet?  It appears as thought each time we click Refresh we lose the links.  I've tried selecting both the 'Use Excel Formatting' and 'Use Cell Styles' options and also have the 'Preserve Formulas...' option on but haven't had any luck.
    The real issue I have has to do with Substitution Variables... the data form has a SubVar for the current month  (e.g. NOV)  If the user saves the data form as a spreadsheet and then opens it a month later when the SubVar is now DEC the spreadsheet still shows NOV.  The user can click the Refresh button which correctly updates the SubVar to DEC, but also clears all the links to the Master spreadsheet.
    Any suggestions or ideas from anyone?
    Smart View Version:  11.1.2.5.210
    Planning Version:  11.1.2.3.500

    Have you tried recreating the web form as an ad-hoc retrieve with a static month versus a subvar? That would be my next suggested workaround.
