Adobe Reader cannot save..just print the form

Hi friends
If this is the wrong post place...sorry.
Hope you can help me.
I made a simple form using LiveCycle Designer ES2. When finished I saved normally as PDF.
When sending via e-mail or copying to another computer...I´m opening the PDF in Adobe Reader to test if it works. All the fields are ok (I used simple fields, no JavaScript).
But Adobe Reader shows a message that the current form cannot be saved. If I want I could print to have a filled copy of the form.
What I´m missing?
How could I make the PDF opened by Adobe Reader and be able to save without problem?
Thank you a lot
Gustavo.

Hi,
This is expected behaviour! In order for a form to be saved by users with the free Adobe Reader, the form first has to be Reader Enabled.
See a description here and a summary of the functionality that is available depending on whether the form is Reader Enabled or not AND how the form was Reader Enabled (using Acrobat OR the LiveCycle Reader Extensions server component).

Hope that helps,

Can I just print the form and have folks fill it out manually?

I would like to print the form and have people fill it out manually. Can I do that?

Hi toxicfreemw,
You can definitely print the form from the physical printer and then get it filled manually.

When zooming in on a photo, I cannot save or print the enlarged photo.

When zooming in on a photo, I cannot save or print that image. It reverts back to original.

There is no way to "zoom" a photo other than for viewing - you can crop it and then thecropped image is saved when you click done and you can print it

On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

After creating a form from an existing document, viewing it in Adobe Reader for Android only shows the form fields, and not the document behind it.

Using an existing PDF file to create an editable form that I can update on my tablet as I go, but when I open the file on my tablet (using Adobe Reader for Android), it only shows the blue editable fields that I've created, but not the actual form that's supposed to be behind it. However, it views properly on my PC. Am I not saving it out correctly?

Please share the sample file with me. I am sending you instruction via private message.

Anoop

Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints incorrectly in Windows 7 x64 - HELP

Adobe Reader 9.3.1 PDF document pages at half size and rotated 90 degrees. If I set "Print as Image" under the Advanced print options, it does print correctly, although the resolution isn't very good. This happens on several documents (stand alone files and from Internet Explorer both). I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
On my Vista 32 bit system, Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints the same documents correctly on the same printer.
Has anyone heard of this problem? Is there a solution?

I have some of the same problem
with my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I
get an error when sending a document to

Adobe Reader. Is there a download to
correct this problem? Adobe Reader 9.3.1
works fine with Windows XP on my 32 bit
computer.

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.

Error reads "Cannot save information" when trying to save my pdf form on another computer

Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong in the creation of my PDF form. When we try to open it on another PC it comes up with another window which reads as follows:
Cannot Save Form Information
PLEASE NOTE: You cannot save a competed copy of this form on your computer.
If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in and print it.
If anyone can help me, I would be greatly appreciative !
Thanks,
Robert

That message shouldn't show up if you use Reader 11 or DC, unless the form was created with LiveCycle Designer. It also won't happen in Reader if you Reader-enable the form in Acrobat. To do so with Acrobat 11 select:
File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
The specific menu items are different for every other version of Acrobat.

Adobe Reader Cannot Print or Update

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get Adobe Reader to print in Leopard? I have a clean install of Leopard 10.5.8 and I ran the Adobe installer from the website. For some reason the installer installs 9.1.0, even though they are up to 9.1.3 now. I run the automatic update on Adobe and it says the installation failed because the program has been modified since I installed it originally. So the version I'm running is 9.1.1. I even tried manually installing the 9.1.2 update and it still fails. It says to try uninstalling and reinstalling. I cannot locate an uninstaller on the Adobe website, so I manually deleted the program and the Application support files and preferences files, and did a clean install again. Same problem. The worst part is that 9.1.1 cannot print files, presumably due to a bug that they hopefully fixed by 9.1.3. Whenever I try to print it just says the document could not be printed and then it says no pages were selected to be printed (whether I tell it to print all pages or select pages). Anyone find a solution to this problem. Big problem if Adobe Reader cannot print!

Unfortunately, Adobe does not see fit to provide any direct support for Reader. Another fine standard set for the world of customer service.
I did find something buried in the middle of a very long thread after trying the various other fixes listed there:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1771565#1771565
It looks like this is another example of sloppy coding and case-sensitive vs. case-insensitive file systems. I found out several weeks back that this is why I my CS wasn't working, either. While I could solve that problem with a case-insensitive disk image, this doesn't work for Reader9, which only allows installation on the startup disk. This is also the reason why I couldn't update past 9.1, as this thread details:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2086122#2086122
When I "fixed" those filenames, I was able to update to 9.1.3, but now I could no longer open the file I need for my grant submission.
Long story short, I used carbon copy cloner to clone onto a case-INsensetive external disk. I'm now booted off that, was able to install & upgrade reader to 9.1.3. I can now open my key file and I can print and even open the preferences within Reader.

I want to remove this unwanted popup. please provide any possible solutions.

Hi ravindra, what i can suggest you is to set a breakpoint just before ur cursor goes into the pdf part and just comment the part when it comes to the popup. its very easy and the best way to do it.

Use Adobe Reader to Save Form Data

I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create several forms and enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader so that my users can save the form data locally using Adobe Reader 7 or higher. My questions are: (1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data? For example, the form can only be save 500 times per form or is it unlimited. (2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again? (3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data? (4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional? The reason why i'm asking these questions is because I want to be in compliance with the Adobe license. My users don't have Adobe Acrobat Professional, but would like to use Adobe Reader to save the form data.

>(1.)Is there a limit to saving the form data?
It is my understanding that you can harvest data from a form 500 times whether that be from one user of 500 users.
>(2.)If there is a limit to saving the form like 500 times, can the same form be recreated and the limit of 500 starts all over again
You'd probably be walking on thin ice by trying that. Could be a loophole but maybe not.
>(3.)Do I need to purchase a license to save these form data?
Not if you stay within the limit that is stated in the EULA.
>(4.)How many forms can have enable usage rights in Adobe Reader per Adobe Acrobat professional?
Different forms? As far as I know there is no limit to the amount of different forms you use.
In my opinion, if you think you are going to go anywhere near the limitations of the EULA, consult with your attorney before proceeding. The form enabling function was never intended for large business use. Adobe has another, more costly, solution for that.

The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

I am now unable to print pdf documents. The message on screen says I have not selected any pages to print, even though the bullet point saying 'All' pages has been clicked. I have recently upgraded to adobe reader XI, could that be the problem? I also cannot sign in to Adobe Export pdf now either. It says 'error occured while signing in'!

Open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Documents: change View Documents in PDF/A Mode to Never.
Regarding the ExportPDF problem, please start a new topic in the ExportPDF forum.

Google Calendar will not print in Firefox 19.0 and adobe reader x when one presses the print button in the popup window.

I have the monthly calendar on screen, click the more button, click print. Another window pops up and when I click the print button nothing happens. I am using Firefox 19.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The print function works in IE and Chrome.

this solution did NOT work for me. I still cannot print a Google calendar page in Firefox. I can in IE. And I can print Gmail.

Adobe Reader cannot save..just print the form
