Adobe Reader Mac 9 can't save filled-in forms?

It appears that Adobe Reader Mac version 9.0.0 can no longer save filled-in forms. Using Reader Mac 8, I could save my last year's IRS Form 1040 PDF with all the fields filled in. Now, when I open the 2007 IRS 1040 PDF downloaded from their website today, I get a message:
"This document enables Reader capabilities that are no longer enabled in this Reader version."
I get the same message when I open my 1040 PDF that I saved with fields filled in earlier this year with Reader Mac 8. That PDF still contains my filled-in values, but I can't save any changes.
Has Adobe disabled saving filled-in forms in Reader Mac 9? If so, was it by accident or on purpose? If on purpose, why?

  • Can no longer fill out form--what happened?

    I have an important form saved on my computer that had a typo in it, so I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro X, corrected the typo, then deleted the free trial.  However, when I open the form with Adobe Reader I can no longer fill out the form.  I was able to fill out the form just fine before I edited it with the free trial of Pro X.  Is there any way I can fix this?  I did not change any settings (as far as I know), I only corrected a typo in the form and now I am having the problem of no longer being able to fill it out.  I appreciate any help, the form is for an important job application.

    If the document was Reader-enabled so that Reader was able to save the filled-in form, and you used Acrobat to make changes to the text on a page (as opposed to text in a form field), the usage rights were removed. The modified document will have to be Reader-enabled, which is done with Acrobat.

  • How can I save filled Adobe Form?

    Hallo experts,
    I use Adobe Forms in my Webdypro application.
    In Form setPDFSourse set dynamically (read from SAP as byte[]) , I do not know the Context.
    How can I save filled Adobe Form, because I must show the Form by next Step in anothe window? 
    Thank you very much!

    This sounds to me like a client-side problem whith adobe reader plugin in your browser. What is your reader version?
    You can try the following to check if there is any content in the byte[]:
    String s = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfData().length + "";
    byte[] test = s.getBytes();
    final IWDCachedWebResource resource =
                   WDWebResource.getWebResource(
                        test,
                        WDWebResourceType.TXT);
    try {
         final IWDWindow window =
         wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
              resource.getAbsoluteURL(),
              "Window title",
              false);
         window.open();
    } catch (Exception e) {
         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
         new WDNonFatalException(e),
         false);

  • Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover file?

    Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
    I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
    I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
    Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
    Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.

  • In adobe reader, I can't print from different trays?

    Using Adobe Reader, I can't print from different trays on my Lexmark x954 printer.  I've tried reinstalling the print driver (latest version) and reinstalling Adobe Reader with no luck.  I can see the trays and even select them in the print dialog box in adobe but when I print I am unable to print from the correct trays.  It always prints from tray 3 of my printer no matter what tray and type of paper I choose in adobe.  Any suggestions?
    I've also noticed a problem printing through Preview.  I can select different trays using preview but the print time is extremely slow.  It seems like it has to re-download the pdf page each time it goes to print.  So a 100 page print job takes 20-30 minutes to complete which means other have to wait for my job to complete so it really slows our office down.
    Thanks for your help.  Also, I am using the mountain lion operating system.  Thanks again! 

    Don't know whether it will make any difference, but a new version of Adobe Reader has just been released:

  • I just downloaded adobe reader and can't print a pdf file

    i just downloaded adobe reader and cannot print a pdf file.

    Same or related issue.
    After installing latest updates of Mac Mavericks and Adobe Reader, I can't open pdfs downloaded from the web or print pdfs from the web. Using "export" doesn't help. Same with the print/pdf workaround.
    I uninstalled/reinstalled Reader. I indicated Adobe Reader as my default opener for pdf-type files. No help.
    I'm using Safari.

  • Adobe Reader XI can not identify letters in Myriad style

    Adobe Reader XI can not show any word (blank nothing) if the letters edited in Myriad style then you convert it into PDF file.

    I tried downloading WPS but its all in Chinese. Let me try with the English installer for WPS.
    As this is working with with MS word, it means that this is something to do with conversion engine of WPS.
    With MS word, when you try to convert the .doc file to PDF, using File - Save as  - PDF, it uses Microsoft's conversion engine, which is converting the doc file to PDF with the fonts.
    I will recommend you to download Adobe Acrobat XI as a trial and then use Adobe Acrobat to convert the .doc file in PDF.
    You can download the Acrobat trial from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en

  • Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

    Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
    please help!

    This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

  • Can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.

    can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.  have uninstalled reader 2 times and reinstalled it, but still get same results.  running windows xp.

    Three things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
    P.S. this is a public forum; please do not post your telephone numbers or other private data (email signature!)

  • I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    Yes.
    If you double click on a PDF and your system uses 8 to open it, you may have to repair (Help>Repair... in Reader) the 9 installation or you could change your file associations to use 9 to open PDF files.
    If 9 opens them already, just remove 8 and you're good to go.
