Acrobat 9 pro. Letting people save data typed in Reader

I am evaluated Acrobat 9 pro for purchase. One of the key features I am looking for is create a form and letting people save data typed in in Aobe Reader.
I looked and tried all the different security features and can't seem to be able to do it.

The whole concept of forms with Acrobat is that you have the ability to save, as does anyone else with Acrobat. Those with Reader have the ability to fill out the form, print it, and submit data, but the saving is an additional feature that Adobe charges for. Starting with AA8 (I think that was the first), Adobe started allowing up to 500 copies to be saved with User Rights, an option in Acrobat. However, if you exceed the 500, then the idea is that you need to be paying for that additional feature. I am not arguing for or against this model, but this is the current deal.
With AA9, I think that some of the options might have changes and the license restrictions might be different. The information should be in either the HELP file or the EULA.

Why do some people get "you cannot save data typed into this form" using FormsCentral fillable PDF?

Hello. We're using FormsCentral extensively. We create the fillable PDF and send it to about 80 people. Each of them is adding content and saving and then passing on to another person for further content. Ultimately, all parties are happy with the content and submit. The problem is that some of the people open the PDF and get the message ""you cannot save data typed into this form". What is causing this? Please help as it is causing us many problems.

Thanks for the quick response. We distribute the form to 80 people who fill it out and create 80 versions. They then pass the form to one other person who edits. All 80 forms, once complete, are submitted to FormsCentral.
I think the problem is with Mac users. Is there anything unusual about the Mac with Adobe Reader? If you provide your email address, I can send you one of the filled out forms that is having this issue. It's quite odd in that the fillable fields don't show up until clicked on and the form is not saveable.
Thanks!

Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?

Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8? It is intermittent, but CHRONIC, and I am forced to "repair" the installation, or reboot by computer. This has been a problem since upgrading to Windows 8 and installing the only Acrobat XI update. Feedback most welcome and appreciated, but an Adobe FIX would be the best solution.

10/4 to all, same problem here with Save or Save As in Acrobat XI Pro using Win 8 Pro, is it Adobe or Win 8 or both causing the problem.
FYI, I just retired and am trying to archive/reduce my printed material and pictures to pdf, this continuing problem is really the pits.................

I cannot save data typed into an Adobe form sent to me..??

I have been sent an Adobe Form that is a Tender Document that I need to complete. When I open the Document is states in the top left-hand corner the following...."Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form.
Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."

What does the creator of the file need to do to make the form fillable? OR is there a program Bob8527 can download to fill in the form and email?
Please advise.
Thanks

You cannot save data typed into this form

Hi,
I created a small interactive form using transaction SFP and I included this form into a WDA application.
The data I am pushing from the system into the form is visualized, but there is also an error message stating:
You cannot save data typed into this form.
Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records.
At first I thought something was wrong with my credentials, but after requesting new credentials this message still appears.
Does anybody know what is causing this message and how I can fix it?
Thanks
Mario

Hi.
1. Are you able to generate an interactive form with the save option through a report program or by WDJ or were you able to view an interactive form by any means with your current credential configuration -> i am asking this coz eventhough you have the right credential, cases can be that it is not properly installed. (check out the standard WDA examples)
2. try using ZCI and xACF layouts. (for ZCI generate the scripts)
3 . Check if the form properties is set to interactive form.
4. Check if you have the generated xml in the interface of your form.
Hope you have checked these already.
Rgds,
Anto.

Letting people save a PDF I made.

I just made a time sheet for my employees to use
for time sheets. I noticed that when they open the PDF
using Reader, they can fill it out but not save the PDF, all they can do
is print. I would like to set this up so they can put their time in each day and save it.. What do I need to do
to let them save their time sheets each
day?

You need to apply reader right to it in Acrobat Pro for that to work. Go Advanced – Extend Feature for Adobe Reader. Thats will enable Viewers in Reader to fill it in and save it as well.

Acrobat xi pro will not save

HI,
When I try to convert a PS (postScript) file to a pdf, acrobat xi pro (from creative cloud) will not allow me to then save it. I can click on the save button, but it doesn't do anything nor does going to file and clicking on save as. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and still nothing. It also opens the welcome screen with weird black boxes around the icons. my version of acrobat xi pro is fully updated also. I have never had this problem before and haven't changed software or osx recently.
I am running Mountain Lion on a brand new macbook retina 15".
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Erin

Form Creation in Acrobat X Pro - unable to save as Reader Extended PDF

I am using Acrobat X Pro on the Windows 7 OS. I have created a document in Word (Office 2010), saved it as a PDF and added form fields. When I try to Save As Reader Extended PDF, the options are grayed out. How do I create a form from a Word document that allows all end users to be able to type in the fields, use a digital signature, save a copy and print the PDF with the completed fields?

In create the document in MS Word and save the file. Then I select print, and choose Adobe PDF as my printer to save it as a PDF. I then open the PDF file and select Tools, Forms, to create the form and add fields as needed. After I'm finished, I attempt to "Save As" and try to select Reader Enabled PDF, but the options are grayed out and unavailable.

When I open Acrobat 9 Pro Extended using Vista Ultimate, I get the message: " Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. Check online for a solution and close."
"To help protect your computer, Data Executuion Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Click to learn more."
Should I change the settings? Will it harm my computer? Shouldn't the software be compatible with Windows Vista Ultimate?

Acrobat X Pro Error when Save As JPEG: Insufficient Disk Space to Perform Operation

Using Acrobat X Pro when trying to save a PDF as an Image - JPEG format, the Acrobat application fails with an error: "Acrobat could not save a page in this document because of the following error: Insufficient disk space to perform the operation (Page 1)". Please help with a solution to this problem. The problem is not because of insufficient disk space on my PC.

Thank you for the reply.
Please can you help with the location of the TEMP folder and which temporary files to delete (file type/extension). Each of the these folders include an "Adobe" Folder. Each "Adobe" folder size is less than 1MB.
I am using Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit. I have the following Adobe Acrobat applications installed: Distiller X, X Pro and Reader XI. Is this combination perhaps causing the problem?

PDF portfolios in Acrobat X Pro - being viewed on the new XI reader version

Hi
We currently produce PDF portfolios in Acrobat X Pro - Can these be viewed on the new XI version without problems?
I have heard from other people, that they experience issues - has anyone heard/seen this?
Thanks

Hi Chris.Parry,
Portfolios created in Acrobat X Pro can definitely be viewed in version XI.
If you've heard of issues between versions, it is probably regarding people trying to edit/update portfolios created in version 9. Portfolios created in version 9 are different than those in X and XI.
Please see this page regarding A11 compatibility with Acrobat 9 Portfolios:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/overview-pdf-portfolios.html#overview_of_pdf_portfol ios
and specifically this section:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/overview-pdf-portfolios.html#pdf_portfolios_created_ in_acrobat_9_acrobat_pro
That said, testing is always a good idea. :-)
Regards,
Charlene

Acrobat X Pro install package does not remove Adobe Reader X

I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard X to deploy our Acrobat X Pro install. In the transform I have both options checked to removed previous versions of Acrobat and Reader.
The only version of Reader that does not get removed is Reader X. Has anyone else run into this? I've had version 8 and 9 get removed, but any system that has Reader X, keeps it, and Acrobat X Pro get's installed as well.
I understand Adobe will support that configuration, but I'd prefer to have just one PDF reader
Any input is appreciated

Same problem in our environment. It seems, that Reader X is not understood as an old or minor version as it was in previous versions and therefore, both, Acrobat X and Reader X can coexist on a machine.

Acrobat X Pro won't save document b/c it thinks a file is already open, but it isn't

I get an error message when I try to save a pdf. It says that it couldn't save the file because it is already open, but there's no other pdf file open.
What is causing Acrobat to think that more than one file is open when there is only one file open?

No, I'm running Windows XP.
The only thing open is Acrobat and the explorer window box that appears when you want to save a file.
It appears to me that Acrobat is still accessing data from a file that was previously open but is no longer open.
How do I make it so that Acrobat sees only the file(s) that are actually open and not files that have been closed?
My only way to work around this problem is to completely close Acrobat and then relaunch it in order to do what I need to do. Very inefficient.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Batch Export Form Data to TXT?

Is it possible to use Acrobat 9.0 Pro's batch processing utility (Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing...) to export a bunch of PDF forms to individual .txt files (Forms > Manage Form Data > Export Data...)?
I can't find access to the Forms menu in the built in Batch utility wihen I click "New Sequence...", so I imagine it might take some custom JavaScript, which I'm not super experienced with, but I muddle through reading JavaScript code and understand it.
So, if someone can give any direction, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

I'll try and read through the API Reference, but can't I just use a relative file path... something like this.exportAsText(true, null, "\..");
I don't know the correct syntax for filepaths in JS... does it get wrapped in double quotes?
The JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference says:
Paths
Several methods take device-independent paths as arguments. See the PDF Reference, version 1.7, for details about the device-independent path format.
Where the hell is the PDF Reference, version 1.7???
Is there a this.filename property?

Acrobat 8 Pro fails to Save As or Create PDF or otherwise save new PDFs

I am running 8.1.2 on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.4 and the whole Master Collection installed.
So, here's what's going on: If I open a PDF in Acrobat and make changes to it, I can save it, but I cannot "Save As." It will go through the normal routine of naming and locating the file, but then it will just gray out all the menus and prevent me from closing the document or doing anything else.
It does the same thing if I Create PDF, or if I attempt to scan something and save it as a PDF.
Basically, saving a NEW PDF file from Acrobat fails. I have been working around it by creating a dummy file and naming any new file the same thing, which it will overwrite.
Anyone have a clue on this? I've tried reinstalling Acrobat, but it hasn't helped.

I have installed Photoshop Elements 6. When I attempt to start the program(in windows XP). It attempts to start(hour glass appears), then nothing happens. The FAQ has this issue and says it is associated with a Licensing service problem and links you to a patch. However the patch is for Vista only. I'm running XP any solutions?
