Acrobat Reader DC Save Folder

I have just upgraded to Acrobat Reader DC. The problem is that I had a shortcut to a commonly used drive in the default location. However, now this does not help me as it does not show the shortcut. I am also unable to create a shortcut since it does not show a specific folder. It also does not save my shared drive as a recent folder. Is there something that I can do so that I won't have to click on choose a different folder then have to scroll for my shared drive each time. This is done thousands of times per month and always to the same location. Thanks for the help.

If you do not use online storage, you can change the Save As dialog to Windows' Save As dialog.
Steps:
1. Launch Reader DC.
2. Go to Edit > Preferences.
3. Select General from Categories.
4. Uncheck "Show online storage when saving files" option.
5. Click OK button.

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

How to allow Acrobat Reader to "Save As"?

I have created a PDF with drop down menus, text fields, ect using LiveCycle 9. When I transfer the pdf to a different machine that just has "Acrobat Reader 8" on it, I get the caption on the top that reads:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed in this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
I want people to be able to open the form, fill out the form and then "save as" so they can retain a copy of the form they have just completed and if need be edit the text fields they are able to type in at a later date.
Any help would be great.

John,
Check out the Acrobat license. Using Adobe Acrobat Standard(?) or Professional you can "Extend Features in Acrobat Reader". This is intended for ad-hoc forms of no more than 500 users or uses (please check this out).
If this applies to you, then generate the form in LC and then open it in Acrobat and go to the Advanced menu and you will see the extend option.
Users with the Reader version will then be able to save the form.

Niall

How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F? I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f. I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8. They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
Thanks for the help!!

To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

Script for Acrobat Reader to save as read only after filled out.

Hi
I have created a work proposal form to be filled out with an estimate of work to be done and the cost.
Is there a script that will then let me save the form as read only so recipient can not make any changes?
Ron A

Thanks GKaiseril
I found this in the forums from a previous post by try67
It works perferctly.
However in his post he left off the last bracket }
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (f!=null && f.type!="button") f.readonly = true;

Acrobat Reader Versions and saveAs, exportXFAdata Problems

We use generate Forms with Reader Extension Save enabled.
The forms are then opened within Acrobat Reader. In the onClose Event a Script called "saveXMLData" is called. This script is install in the javascript folder of the reader installation.
The script :
var saveXMLData = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)
     app.beginPriv();
     doc.saveAs({cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.pdf",
          bCopy: true,
          bPromptToOverwrite: false });
     doc.exportXFAData({
          cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.xml",
          bXDP:false
     app.endPriv();
     return;
Using Acrobat Reader 7, eveything worked fine.
Using Acrobat Reader 9 "saveAs" crashes the Application after the document is saved and the filled in Data is not saved.
Without the saveAs function, at least the export File is generate but the data that where filled in are missing.
Using Acrobat Reader X "saveAs" crashes the Application as well. Leavin out the saveAs function, the export File is generated as expected. Thus the filled in data values are saved.
Using Acrobat X Pro everything works as with Acrobat Reader 7.
Our Problem is that the customer uses Acrobat Reader 9. Are there expected incompatibilities with the different versions. Does anybody know any workarounds, settings?
By the way disabling extended security does not help.
Thanks
Max

It cannot be a problem of the installation, because at least Windows 7
was a fresh install with nothing but Reader additionally installed.
By the way, what do you mean by "risky", I followed straight the
documentation from Adobe, where one is allowed to place function calls
requiring a privileged context.
Have you any better idea where to place the call to save? It must be
called automatically, when the User closes the window, no additional
interaction is possible.
One other thing is the call to exportXFAData, have you any idea why
there is a difference in behavior between reader version 7 / 10 and 9?
I wrote that in version 9 the user entered data is missing.

No, it doesn't work.
Sorry, I don't have any ideas except for trying to repair the installation
of Reader.
However, placing code in the WillClose event is considered risky and should
be avoided if there are alternatives available.

Can I save an open PDF file as a .jpg using Acrobat Reader?

Is there some kind of ad-on or other (third party?) program which would allow Acrobat reader to save or convert a PDF to a JPG? I have the full version, along with Adobe Creative Suite, so I know I can do it with those programs. This is for a friend with whom I share files and he only had the Acrobat Reader.
Thanks

No, Adobe Reader can only save as a text file, or using ExportPDF as Word or Excel documents.
However, use Google to find many free PDF conversion tools on the Internet.

Removing Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0, and installing newer 7.0.9 version

My IMAC with Panther 10.3.9 has Acrobat reader 5.0. This appears in Finder>Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder. I find that the lastest version of the reader for my system is 7.0.9, per Adobe's website in the reader download section. I downloaded version 7.0.9, which appeared to have occurred without problems. When I went back to Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder, the folder still indicated 5.0, not 7.0.9. Not convinced 7.0.9 was actually implemented, I moved the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 folder from Applications to Trash. And yes I emptied the trash. I then downloaded 7.0.9 from Adobe's website again. The download again appeared to have occurred correctly. There is no sign of Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 in Applications, nor is the 5.0 folder there since I put it in trash. Why did I want to upgrade the reader version in the first place? Some PDF files that I tried to download wouldn't. This is the first time that I have encountered PDF files that would not download in readable format. The PDF help section of the website indicated I needed the lastest version of Acrobat reader to successfully download the PDF files. Since I did have an older version, the version upgrade was attempted. Where do I go from here?

Hello AC,
You were very close to being completely correct. The downloadreader.pkg opened by itself, but what I did not do after that was double click an icon that said Acrobat reader installer. Once I did double click that icon, additional installation activities occurred, and sure enough, Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 now appears in Applications. Thanks.

Click on download of pdf opens adobe acrobat reader, but then clicking on file save-as does not give a dialog box to change the name or location where it is sav

Using Firefox 19.02
When I receive an email with an Excel, Word, or PDF file attachment, and I click download, firefox opens up the associated program for all my users, however when you click on file>save-as you are not presented with the dialog box to perform a save.
Excel and Word, no fix at all. Other than different browser or to click download, right click and go to folder, and then copy it out of there to another folder and open it.
Help, what is going on here????

Acrobat won't save as a Reader Enabled PDF File

Hello Everyone,
I'm having troubles with creating an editable PDF. What my goal is for this document I'm creating is that when I send this doc to others they can fill in their name and be able to import their logo into this document. Because you can't create an image field, my work around is creating a signature field for where they can place their logo. Anyhow, my problem is that as soon as I create the signature field in Acrobat, I cannot save it as a Reader Extended PDF, because all of the options are greyed out. I've tried changing some of the security settings to allow for this, but its not working. I just want someone to be able to open Adobe Reader and be able to use this signature box. If there is anyone that can help I would really appreciate it.
All the best!
m2b

Hi m2b,
Do you sign the document before extending the features? If you do then make sure "Lock the Document after signing" checkbox is not checked. Try this:
Clear all signature fields.
Click on the field that you want to sign
"Sign Document" window will appear
In the left bottom corner this check box will appear.
Uncheck it.

How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
How do I do this.
Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
thanks in advance for your help.
Amy

I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
or
File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

Acrobat Reader X stores PDFs in Temp-folder even when HTTP-headers say no-cache no-store

After updating from Acrobat Reader 9 to 10 we have noticed that PDFs viewed in the browser are left behind in the Temp-folder even after the browser has been closed.
Http-headers in the response from the server
Cache-Controls: no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,post-check=0,pre-check=0
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="xxxxxxxx.pdf"
Expires: 0
Pragma: no-cache
Folder: [User-folder]\AppData\Local\Temp
Filename-format: PDFxxx.tmp
Browsers: Firefox 3.6, Opera 11, Safari 5
Plugin: Acrobat Reader 10
Simply add a .pdf extension to the file and open again in Acrobat Reader. Since the server has set headers indicating that this PDF should not be stored locally, it is a severe security hole leaving traces of this PDF on the filesystem.
Is this a problem Adobe is aware of? When can we expect this to be fixed?
Regards,
Gustav

Hi Michael,
Thank you for you quick response!
In Acrobat 9, I cannot find the PDFs in the Temp-folder after the browser has been closed.
In Acrobat 10, PDFs are left behind in the Temp-folder even after browser close.
To me, this looks like a bug in Acrobat 10. Would you not agree?
Regards,
Gustav

How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible. I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
Thanks,
Chani

Thanks everyone for responding. I should have supplied more information.
I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro. These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data. However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered. Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact. Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions. However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly? How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing? I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
Thanks for all of your responses!
