Acorbat Reader users cannot submit my form to me

I created a form for use by the nine members of my brokerage team. Some people have Acrobat Standard; but some only have Reader. It seems as if the Reader users are unable to submit the forms. When the Reader users click on the button to e-mail the form back to me, they get an error message saying "This operation is not permitted."
I have looked for solutions online, but cannot find any that fit this situation, given the versions of Acrobat that are being used: Pro XI (used by three of us with Creative Cloud), Standard X, Reader (multiple). The solutions that have been posted involve making changed within the Registry; and those solutions that do not involve the Registry make suggestions for setting changes within Pro that don't even exist in my version of Pro XI. (Go figure.)
It would be really nice to get this issue resolved once and for all. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them.
Cheers!

You don't need to change the registry. It sounds like the form is set up so that the entire PDF is included in the submit, instead of just the form data. For this to work with Reader versions prior to 11, the document needs to be Reader-enabled, since Reader otherwise is not able to save a filled-in form. This won't be needed if Reader 11 is used since it is able to save a non-enabled form (AcroForm, not XFA).

  • Sharepoint 2010, InfoPath 2010 with Custom Workflow. Error Message: InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while form was submitted...

    I have created an InfoPath form that submits to a Sharepoint library with custom workflow attached. The workflow is initiated when the user submits the form. An email is sent to the supervisor who clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and approved
    the form via the emailed form. Then, based on certain criteria the form is either emailed to the VP or the workflow is complete. The VP is sent an email and clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and sumbits the form via the emailed form. This is
    how I would like it to work. The reality is, the form submits and is emailed to the supervisor and the supervisor is able to approve but when the form is sumbitted I get an error. The error is "InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while
    this form was being submitted. The form cannot be submitted to the following location: <URL> The file <URL> is checked out for editing by <me> The operation completed successfully." The operation did not complete successfully and it
    is not checked out. I have read in previous posts that the file is locked. Since I am in the testing faze of the project there is no one else using the form. I have waited 24 hours and the lock has not been released. Please help!!! My deadline is growing short.

    I ran into your post while having a similar issue.  I don't have a 'full' fix for you, but I noticed at least in our case if you made sure you opened the Infopath form through the browser instead of the client Infopath program (use the drop-down menu
    and open in browser) the error doesn't occur.  Hope that helps some....

  • Infopath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterik(required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values)

    Infopath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterik(required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values).
    Press Ctrl+Shift+O for next error or Press Ctrl+Shift+I for error details
    Please help me, Thank in advance.
    Sravan.

    Hi Sravan, this means that one or more of the fields are required to be filled in or have validation set up on them so that the information entered matches a certain criteria. Make sure what's entered matches what's required. If the form still can't be
    submitted, check the rules set in InfoPath and the list/library to see what's causing the error(s).

  • Users cannot save Acrobat forms

    I've run into a stumbing block with Acrobat 8 Pro and forms.
    I have a PDF to which form fields have been added, and in one area, even tallies price totals (it is an advertising contract). Dates format correctly, all works fine. If I send the finished form to another computer running Acrobat Pro (either 7 or 8), I can enter all fields, and save the form. But, if I send it to a user who only has Acrobat Reader, they can enter text in the fields, but cannot save the form. Right now, I have no security or access permissions on the form at all.
    Basically, I want the form to work like the tax forms available on the IRS site--that a user can download it, enter the text, save it for their records, and either be able to e-mail it back to us, or to print and fax it.
    Is there anything else I need to do?

    I would use the DISTRIBUTE option under the FORMS menu since it not only
    Reader Enables the PDF but also prepares a response file for collecting
    the data. One very, very cool thing - Acrobat 9 can now also collect all
    forms responses via Acrobat.com so you can log-in, filter the data,
    export to XML / CSV and keep everything in the acrobat.com cloud

  • Cannot submit pdf form online

    the problem seems to be that the interactive pdf form that used to open within the browser is now opening outside the browser (both IE8 and Firefox) as a temp file so I can fill it out but when I hit "save for later" or "submit" I get the adobe error "error opening url to submit this form". What setting has gotten set incorrectly? I have been using this site for years with no problem up until recently.

  • Allow reader users to save pdf form with data

    I want to create a form that an adobe reader user can open and save a copy as a pdf with the data in the form. I know that requires reader extensions - what i can't seem to figure out is if I already have this included and how to do it. I have LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 - which is the download I end up at when searching LC with reader extensions.
    Does anyone have instructions on how to do this or know whether that functionality is available in the version I'm running?

    You can add the Reader Extesnion right to save the form with data locally in two different ways.
    1. In Acrobat Pro open the form and under the Advanced/Extend Features in Adobe Reader will walk you through a wizard. Once the wixard is finished, save the file and use that one. This technique is limited to 500 users by licence.
    2. LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server has a User Interface that allwos you to pick the rights you want. There are no luser imitations to this option.
    If you do not have either, option 1 is a lot simpler. You can download a trial copy of Acrobat Pro and try it.

    All the elements in adobe forms cleanly binded and checked more than 10 times to avoid any mistakes or wrong bindings.
    Event handler code is written for submit button to read the data eneted by user on adobe form.
      lo_el_zleaver_form->get_static_attributes(
        IMPORTING
          static_attributes = ls_zleaver_form ).
    User is able to enter data on adobe form and control is comming to Submit button code but i am not able to read the user input with above code.

    Hi Guys,
    I also created one more Adobe interactive form to test and again USER INPUT CANNOT BE READ. After user click on SUBMIT button the below code is written in SUBMIT button. I am not able to read department details below enteted by user. Is there any othe method you want me to call. I also tried GET_ATTRIBUTE
    Will there be any problem with above version of ADS or ALD etc..
          DATA lo_nd_zdept TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
          DATA lo_el_zdept TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
          DATA ls_zdept TYPE wd_this->element_zdept.
        navigate from <CONTEXT> to <ZDEPT> via lead selection
          lo_nd_zdept = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `ADOBE.ZDEPT` ).
        @TODO handle non existant child

    This is other interactive form where i also tried GET_ATTRIBUTE
    USING GET_ATTRIBUTE***************
      node_info = lo_nd_zleaver_form->get_node_info( ).
    I tried both GET_ATTRIBUTE and GET_ATTRIBUTES but failed.
      node_info->GET_ATTRIBUTES(

    OR
    lo_nd_zleaver_form = WD_CONTEXT->GET_CHILD_NODE( NAME = WD_THIS->WDCTX_ZLEAVER_FORM ).

  • Reader still cannot save fillable forms

    I'm using LiveCycle Designer to create a fillable form that I wish to have sent back to me as a pdf or for the user to save the completed form locally. I have "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" under the advanced tab. However, when I send the fillable form to my users with reader, sometimes they cannot even fill in the form because it says that the form has been altered since the rights were enabled(which it hasn't) and at other times, they can fill out the form and save it, but the saved file is just a blank form(They're not choosing Save a Copy). I do not wish to use LifeCycle ES Reader Extension because this is a small venture and I don't technically have a server I can access. Can someone give me some clue as to what I might still be doing wrong?

    Sorry.. I thought I replied to this message earlier. Apparently not. In any event, Adobe Reader 9 is being used. There is no script that changes the appearance of the form as far as I'm aware. I downloaded a form from the form gallery.. and enabled the usage rights and then emailed it to myself. When I opened it on my laptop, it told me that the document had been altered since it had been saved(which it hadn't) and wouldn't let me fill in the form or save it.

  • Cannot submit dynamic form when the form go to the same URL

    Hi,
    I am using Safari 5.1 (7534.50). I am having problem on dynamic form submission.
    When I click on the button 1 on the following form, it will open a page in a new window.
    After that, if I push the button 2, the form cannot be submit and it won't open a new page.
    If I push the button 1 again, the form cannot be submit again either.
    <form target="_blank" action="http://www.domain.com" method="get" name="prForm">
    <input value="0" name="test">
    </form>
    <a href="javascript:submitForm(1);">Submit Button 1 </a>
    <a href="javascript:submitForm(2);">Submit Button 2</a>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function submitForm(val) {
        var pf = document.prForm;
        pf['test'].value = val;
        pf.submit();
    </script>
    This behaviour has been considered as a bug in Google Chrome and has currently been fixed.
    I wonder if Apple will fix the same bug in the future?

    Might make this easier to answer if you can see the page in question:

  • Cannot submit online form for distribution agreement

    Hi,
    Just trying to submit the online form for a distribution agreement for Adobe Reader installation on our network and the submit button is greyed out.
    I have completed all of the mandatory fields, I have javascript enabled on my browser *(ie.9).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try filling out the form in Reader without using the Reader plug-in in the browser.

  • Latest Adobe Reader DC cannot render editable forms

    Hello,
    I just wanted to have a discussion on the recent adobe reader DC. Has anyone else the below similar issues?
    I created Adobe interactive formss from WD and triggered it using IE as well as Chrome. I had Adobe reader DC installed. As per Adobe this is a latest product and covers all the features of the previous products.
    But I never got an editable form in Chrome. I somehow got an editable in IE. But when I used my SUBMIT button, the control never went back to SAP WD.
    I struggled a lot and finally uninstalled Adobe DC and installed adobe reader 9.1.
    I was able to successfully generate the form in IE in editable mode and the same SUBMIT button triggered data back to SAP WD.
    But chrome could still not render the output.
    Has anyone faced the same issue? Whats wrong with the latest version of adobe reader DC ? Adobe claims it to be the smartest release with all features integrated.
    Thanks,
    Ags.

    Hey Diego,
    Thanks for the heads-up. You saved me quite a few days of my efforts.
    Its extremely hard to get older versions of reader 9.1 which works fine to my knowledge. my 9.1 got auto updated to 11 and now the app is not quite reliable. Sometimes it opens in IE and sometimes it says 'plz close othr sessions to open here' - strange.
    Another crucial road block is that my app has to be integrated to iphone too, but strangely there is only reader dc available in itunes. So EDITABLE form is not working either in my iphone - safari or chrome
    SAP or adobe must do something on this since its stopping a lot of our PoCs.
    regards,
    Ags.

  • Reader X - Cannot fill in form

    We have a lot of forms that had been created to be fillable, all for these forms worked with no issue under previous versions of Reader.  However, since the upgrade to Reader X many of the fillable forms no longer work, they open in read only to prevent modifiation.  I have even uninstalled Reader X, gone back to Reader 9 and they work again, as a temporary solution this is great but Reader X is the required software.  Shy of purchasing Acrobat for 5000+ users how can this be fixed?

    Hi,
    Please let me know if you are filling in the forms via a browser or via the application as such?
    Thanks

  • Reading user input from a form within a workflow and perform actions in workflow based on the input

    Sharepoint 2013
    Need to get input from a user based on some condition within a workflow and based on the input received continue with the workflow. It can be a form with a text box and button to which i can redirect and when user enters a value and clicks on the button
    ,I should come back to the workflow and perform other processing. I should also be able to manually start this workflow from VS.
    Tried different approaches like initiation forms ,user input action of SP2010 etc all of these approaches either add some tasks to task list or force me to click on the workflow link to get input from a user.
    Any suggestions on this?

    Hello
    Thanks for the code, but I don't need an array of beans. By the way this code make a bean and an arraylist everytime it's called?
    I was looking for something like this:
    <form action="myjsp.jsp" method="post">
    ...so after submitting the result will go to the myjsp.jsp file and in the myjsp.jsp file
    <jsp:useBean id="value" class"myBean">
    <jsp:setpropertiy name"value" ....>so everytime I click the add button the values will go the mysjp.jsp file and that will set them in the javabean file. this method uses two files but I was looking for doing this in the same jsp file and not sending it to another file.

  • Reader 10 cannot save enable form but reader 11 can?

    Created a form with Acrobat Pro v9.  Getting reports that those with v 10 do not get the same message about saving the document with the data as those with version 11.
    What can I do to resolve this?

    Reader 10 requires you to "sign" in order to save the form but Reader 11 does not.
    The message (in purple banner) in 10 is:
    Click 'sign' to fill out and sign the form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking 'Done Signing'
    The message in Reader 11 is
    Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form.
    I have both versions so I saved in v10 after "signing" which not a requirement of the form I built.
    Reopening in 10 does not allow me to enter any more data . Message in purple banner is gone.
    Reader 11 allows me to parially complete, save, close, reopen and continue filling out the form.
    Is this really the way these versions work?
