LiveCycle Designer problem saving in Adobe Reader

I re populated an old PDF file in LiveCycle Designer. Text, Date, Check boxes. When the new file is opened in Adobe Reader x, it will not save the data. Any way to fix this?

Did you save the PDF as an Extended Rights PDF? You will need to open the PDF in Acrobat, go to Save As Other and Select "Reader Extended PDF". This will allow you to do things like save data in Reader.

Form processed by LiveCycle, but cannot be saved by Adobe Reader

Hi All,
I have an Adobe form which has been processed by LiveCycle, however, it still cannot be saved by Adobe Reader. What could be the probable cause of this?
Background:
Previously, the whole process could work alright; i.e. create form using Acrobat Prof -> process using LiveCycle -> editing and saving with Adobe Reader.
However, after some changes where made to the pre-processed form, LiveCycle can no longer make the form save-able by Adobe Reader.
Thanks and best rgds,
Kwok Pong

Hi Kwok,
The term "LiveCycle" covers a good number of products so I will make the assumption you are talking about Reader Extensions. Please let me know if this is wrong.
If you licensed Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms this does not necessarily mean that you have licensed Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is sometimes referred to as ARES). ARES is the technology that is used to allow the Barcoded Forms PDFs to work but does not enable save-off-line capabilities on your forms unless you licensed this feature too.
Take a few minutes and listen to this presentation, it should give you an idea of how things are licensed: http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/barcodedformsandreaderextensions

How do I enable a LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

I have an interactive PDF form that I created in LiveCycle. However, when it is opened with Adobe Reader, the user is unable to save it. They can only print from Reader. How do I enable the LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

You have to add save rights with Acrobat.
Open you form in Acrobat and then save it via File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.

Xfdf post problem introduced in Adobe Reader 9.1.2?

Hi,
In the past couple weeks, we've had many customers reporting errors with using the xfdf post-back feature of Adobe Acrobat docuements we use.
They said this was not a problem before they upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem here with Adobe Reader 9.1.2, but I'm guessing that maybe their configuration is slightly different from my test configuration of machine/Adobe Reader 9.1.2...
To summarize how we use xfdf post-back:
1.) The Adobe Acrobat .pdf has a button image with the Acrobat variant of javascript handling a "button push" to do an http post of the xfdf data to our server.
2.) The server then processes the xfdf data.
This has always worked fine in the past, but would appear to (under some yet unspecified client-side circumstances), cause an error. Note: the server-side appears to not be the root of the problem because the same server is used with the client-machines (client-machines meaning the acrobat plug-in inside an IE browser) that do work, and also with the client-machines that don't work.
Additional note: The client-machines that do work...always work. The client-machines that don't work, never work.
Attached is a screenshot of the Microsoft Fiddler (protocol monitor tool) request and response data of the xfdf post.
Thoughts on what might be the problem?
Thanks!

Thank you very much for your response but unfortunately none of the suggested solutions have worked. When pressing F8 then F8 again, the picture icon toolbar toggles between not being shown and then being shown again so no Save options appear. When pressing F9, nothing happens at all. When pressing Ctrl+Shift+S an adobe message appears in the middle of the screen stating the following "This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 9, Pro 9 or Pro Extended 9. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?" It then prompts you with "OK" or "Cancel". Upon pressing "OK" absolutely nothing happens. I have seen this type of message many times before when trying to save pdf files and it has successfully saved the file but for some reason nothing happens in this version of adobe reader. Do you have any other thoughts at all as to how to solve this?

As we are having a problem explicit with Adobe Reader 11.0.07, we are interested in news and dates for coming updates to Adobe Reader. Can I find information about this anywhere ?

Problem with updating Adobe reader 9.4.6.252

Hi, I am new at this so here goes.
I am having a problem with downloading Adobe Reader 9.4.7. Every time I start the update it freezers my entire computer.
The only way of fixing the problem that I have found that works is to turn the entire computer off.
I am running with windows XP SP3.
Can anybody help please.
At present I have Version 9.4.6.252 Adobe Reader

Then you may want to try the following:
Run this fix from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Uninstall all traces of any versions of Reader using Add/Remove Programs
If you want to reinstall Reader, download it from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

If they are saved on your iPad, they are as safe as anything else.

Default Saving Location Adobe Reader Version 11.0.1

Default Saving Location Adobe Reader 11.0.1 -
Since upgrading to Reader XI the default saving location no longer works. So esssentially in previous versions The file path would default to the last place you saved a document, so when saving multiple documents in the one file path it wasn't time consuming.
Since upgrading it does not do this anymore and you have to select the file saving path each time you open a new PDF, which adds to the time to save multiple documents, so currently I guess it just opens a temporary folder each time you select Save As.
Can you please advise the setting that needs to be altered to fix this.
Thanks

Thank you. We have tried that but it has not made any difference. Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

My documents are saved as Adobe Reader instead pf Microsoft document

Ever since I installed Adobe Reader software, each time I save a document as Microsft Doc, it is instead saved as Adobe Reader.
I don't want my documents to be saved as Adobe Reader. I want to save my documents as Microsoft .doc
What do I do to solve that?
Thanks!

How are you saving these documents; from Word? And they get saved as .pdf despite you selecting .doc?
Please explain exactly what you are doing, and what the result is. "Saved as Adobe Reader" does not mean anything.

Problemas para imprimir adobe Reader 11

Buen dia Sres de Adobe.
Tengo un problema con el Adobe reader 11.
Al mandar a imprimir cualquier archivo a cualquier impresora no envia nada, no aparece ninguna barra de progreso y no se imprime nada.
Ya intente desinstalandolo, apagar el quipo, reiniciarlo y voviendo a instalar el programa, pero aun asi continuo sin poder imprimir.
Al principio pense que era problema del archivo, pero ya intente con otros (que ya habia impreso anteriormente) y tampoco se imprimen.
Espero me puedan apoyar con este problema.
El sistema operativo es Windows 7

No, no somos de Adobe. Como indica el título esto es un Foro de Usuarios.
Prueba a descargar un script para limpiar la instalación de Acrobat Reader, reinicia entonces e intenta instalar de nuevo Acrobat Reader XI

LiveCycle Designer 8 Saving Dynamic Field Problem

Just updated to LiveCycle Designer 8 to get around the issue with my users not being able to save the PDF form data. Now my users can save the data using Acrobat Reader 8 but my dynamic fields are not working correctly.
I have several fields that when you click a certain radio button or check a certain box, a previously invisible text field becomees visible. If one of those boxes is checked and data is entered in the now visible text field, then the users saves the form and reopens it, the data is saved but the field is invisible. Viewing the XML output confirms that the data is still there. When the form is reopened the checkbox that makes the field visible is still checked. But to see that data entered in the text field, you have to uncheck and then recheck the box to get the invisible field to become visible once more. Any idea on how to correct this "feature"?
Thanks, Debra

Hi Debra,
To correct this 'feature', go in Form Properties > Defaults tab, set the Preserve Scripting Changes To Form When Saved option to Automatically.
To correctly using Designer 7.x, youll have to write some script to achieve the same result. Currently, you have a script setting the fields state. All you need is to run the same script when the form is opened. In the example below, a form:ready script will execute the change event script when the form is opened. You can use the docReady event as well.
For example:
RadioButtonList: change event
if (this.rawValue == "1")
TextField1.presence = "visible";
else
TextField1.presence = "invisible";
RadioButtonList: form:ready event
this.execEvent("change");
Hope this helps,
Hélène

Forms built with 9 not saving with Adobe reader X

I have many computers that are running Adobe reader X. when they are attempting to save a form that was built in Adobe 9.x, a msg dictates that they are unable to save file. How can I rectify this without downgrading my Adobe to 9 accross our system.

Downgrading to Adobe Reader 9 will not solve the problem because the issue is Reader was designed not to save completed forms.
You can use Acrobat 9 to add Extended Reader Rights to PDF forms and that enabled copy can be saved with form data by Acrobat X.
You will be restricted to 500 returned forms for each form. Above that limit you should contact Adobe about their LiveCycle server product.

Saving with adobe reader 9 or later

I am creating a form using livecylce designer and want to give users the ability to save the form. Though, adobe reader 9 or later only allows a blank copy of the form to be saved. Is there a way to allow them to save the data they enter into the form, i.e. how can I give them permission to save those changes?

The Adobe LiveCycle forums.
They are not enabled by default no. You need to do that first plus there are some criteria as to how they are used (the big one is the usage limit of 500 submissions).
I directed you to the Livecycle forums in case there is a different way to do it with that product (I don't use it myself). In Acrobat, you simply go to File>Save as other>Reader extended pdf>Enable more tools.

LiveCycle Designer won't preview with Reader DC. Preview mode will not work. Attempting to preview gets errors (507:507), (103:103), and sometimes crashes LiveCycle Designer. How do i get preview mode?

I can not get LiveCycle's preview mode to work. It has worked in the past, but now with Reader DC i can't use preview mode. How do i get Adobe LiveCycle designer to work with Reader DC?

it seems the problem is caused directly by adobe reader X.
I just have started a new descussion here (adobe reader forum).
If anyone could help me, feel free to do so!
my configuration:
windows xp pro
adobe reader x
adobe livecycle designer 9 ( therefore it is not an version 8 issue )
admin rights on the pc ; )
I might add that you are not alone!
I am having the same problem (LSD ES2 (version 9.0.0....) and Adobe Reader X and Acrobat Professional 8)
Whenever I save a form as PDF and open it with Reader or Acrobat I get to see the console.
But never when I view the form in Designer preview!
That used to work until I installed Reader X.
Same as you I checked all configurations in Reader and Acrobat: all perfect.
I really do hope that someone finds a solution for this.
PS. This problem should be discussed in THIS forum. It is clearly a Designer problem!
