Adobe reader opens "save as" box when clicking on save button rather than saving in the same file

Hi everybody,
I have a fillable PDF form designed in Livecycle designer and it is reader extended. When I fill that form on MAC it let me fill and save the form as many times as I like. Everytime I make any change I just click the save button it saves changes in the same form. BUT is is behaving differently on Windows. After filling the form out when I click on save button it opens up "Save as " dialogue box to save a new copy with those changes. I have Adobe reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI installed on windows. I know I can do that with Acrobat but I want that in reader for users who dont have acrobat.
Please help me.....
Thanks

What are you filling out the form with on the MAC?

    I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS.  While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one.  This is a big problem.  I must be able to save on the newer computer.  Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS?  Please help.

    Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

  • Opening a Support document when clicked on a button in Webdynpro-ABAP.

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement that when clicking on a button it should open a file which has file name stored in a table. How to make this possible.
    The path of the file should not be hardcoded, since the user can change the file and its name anytime, he will just update the name in that table. Our report has to fetch that exact file.
    Please help me in this.
    Thanks,
    Selvakumar M.

    Hi Radhika,
    We will be having the file stored in the common shared path, file may be of either .Pdf or .doc.
    I have not used the file upload option before, so i am not sure about it.
    But my requirement is not upload, it has to open a file from a path. Sorry if i mistook the meaning of the file upload option.
    Thanks for quick turnaround.

  • Adobe Reader 9.1 crashes browser when clicking PDF links

    Steps to recreate issue:
    1. With Adobe Reader 9 loaded on your Windows PC...
    2. With ANY browser, go to any url where you can download PDF forms (ex. www.dlis.dla.mil/PDFs/DD2875.pdf  OR  http://www.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/formsInstructions.html and click on any .pdf form)
    Results: The browser (whether IE 6, 7, 8 or Firefox, Netscape, etc) will crash.  The support window takes you to a place that informs you it is an Adobe problem.
    Expected results: The PDF should be opened and displayed as usual.
    Mitigation: It only occurs with Adobe Reader 9.  When I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9, and reinstalled 8.1.3 there was no issue.
    Can I get a witness?
    How about a fix for this?
    [I also work at government sites where they have lots of .pdfs accessible online.  They cannot open any of them because of this issue with Adobe Reader 9; the browser just crashes and that is the end of that.]

    You could try some of these: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391737
    However, sometimes replacing \windows\system32\ace.dll with the adobe one in \program files\adobe ...... reader\ace.dll has been said to work.  Really ugly fix - hopefully someone at Adobe corrects this issue in the future.

  • How to open subscribe dialog box when clicking ics link

    I would like to create a web page containing all our shared calendar links so my users need only to click a link which will open iCal, have the "subscribe" dialog box pop up and have the calendar URL auto filled.
    I've gotten as far as opening the ics file with iCal but am stuck on how to force the "subscribe" box to automatically open.
    For example, I would want the link: http://sharedcalendars/home/scott/calendar.ics
    to open iCal, pop up the "subscribe" box and auto fill the URL field with http://sharedcalendar/home/scott/calendar.ics .
    My users are lazy and complain to great lengths about having to manually type the URL of each shared calendar.
    Any Ideas?

    mouse listener on the tree, see if the click count is 2 and what node it clicked, open the dialog. MouseEvent can give you the click count and x/y coordinate, JTree can tell you what node is at that coordinate.

  • When I add text to a PDF, I am forced to change the file name rather than just updating the current file.  Why?

    I have been doing the same process for months and until recently I could just add text to a pdf, click save, adobe would ask me if I wanted to replace the current file, I'd say yes and we would be done.  Now I get a message that says "The document could not be saved.  Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." It does this about 70% of the time.  The rest of the time it works like it used to.

    You cannot skip arguments, you can either use the function with one
    argument (just the required argument), or you have to provide all of them.
    Also, it looks like you are trying to specify 20 parameters, even though
    the function only takes 19. Try the following:
    Call jso.addWaterMarkFromText("Test Text", jso.app.Constants.Align.Center,
    jso.Font.Helv, 16, _
        jso.Color.Black, 0, 0, True, True, True, _
        jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, _
        100, 100, False, 1, False, 0, 1)
    I just typed this in without running it through the compiler, so there may
    be typos in the code, but you should get the idea of how the code is
    supposed to look like.

  • How can I get Firefix to open another tab with a new topic rather than overlay onto the same page I'm working on?

    I use your browser exclusively.

    {Ctrl + Click} or Middle-Click a link to have it open in a new Tab.

  • I want Firefox to open a new session each time I use it rather than to try to recover my previous one; how do I go about this?

    What more details do you need? I want to open a new session when I use your product rather than have the product go through the slow tedious process of trying to recreate the previous session.

    Please see this support article on [[Session Restore]]. Follow the instructions under the "Configuring session restore" header. When you get to the step where it says "Show my windows and tabs from last time" you can choose from showing your homepage or showing a blank page instead.

  • Adobe Reader X tries to print when I open a PDF.

    Windows 8.1
    Adobe Reader X (10.1.9)
    Whenever i double click on a PDF in explorer, Adobe Reader opens the PDF and tries to print it. The print dialog box comes up as soon as the file is opened. I had assumed the command line for the default action had a switch for printing, but I don't think that is the case. It doesn't seem to happen with ALL PDFs. Just some. Is this something that can be set within the PDF when it's generated by Acrobat?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Yes, it's possible to set up a PDF to try to print itself as soon as its opened. To test if it's that try to disable JS (via Edit - Preferences - JavaScript), and then open the file. Also, if you could share one of these files I could have a look and let you know if that's the reason for this behaivour.

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

    Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.

    Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac.  I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message.  I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared.  The only version saved has only my first comment.  Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work?  Is there any other way to recover it?  Thanks!

    Hi @Pat Willener,
    since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
    A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
    Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!

  • I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Adobe Reader 9.0 has delay when downloading PDF file through proxy server

    There is an issue with the Adobe Reader (and Acrobat) 9.0 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control for Internet Explorer (6 or 7) on Windows computers with respect to proxy servers. Due to this issue, there is a 2 minute delay for any Internet Explorer web browser on the Deere network before any PDF file will open from the Internet within the IE web browser if In-Place activation (Display PDF in Browser) is enabled in Adobe Reader 9. This problem does not affect Adobe Reader 8.
    What we are seeing is that when someone on the Deere network clicks on a links to a PDF file in the Internet, the PDF file downloads immediately. But then, after the PDF file is downloaded, the Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control tries to talk directly to the Internet web site. The Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control does not know how to negotiate our proxy server. So after a minute or two, the Adobe Reader 9 PDF Link Helper ActiveX control times out (gives up) and allows the IE browser to display the downloaded PDF file in the IE browser.
    We work around this issue by disabling In Place Activation for PDF files in IE (uncheck Display PDF in Browser). But we would like a fix for the PDF Link Helper ActiveX control.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
    "bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Originals]
    "bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
    Here's what our proxy people see when they do a trace of a PDF file download through their proxy server with IE 7 and Adobe Reader 9 with Display PDF in Browser checked.
    The browser tells the proxy to download the pdf, it does and sends it to the browser. Before the browser opens it something in Acrobat ( or I.E. ? ) tries to make a connection back to the content server that hosted the pdf. Unfortunately this agent does not ask the proxy to make the request for it, but rather asks local DNS to resolve the Internet server name. This request dies because our internal private network does not know anything about the Internet. Only the DNS used by the proxy can resolve Interent names. After two unsuccessful DNS queries into the private network, the agent tries to resolve the same Internet name with NBNS ( netbios name service) queries again into the private network, with the same results. These requests persists for more than two minutes ( over 200 unresolved queries ). Then for whatever reason the agent gives up and the already downloaded pdf file loads into the browser.
    I have a TCP capture file if you want it.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with some specific PDF files. For more than 90% it hangs when opening the file, but sometimes it works (with the same file).
    The workflows where it sometimes worked:
    a) Loading the PDF, the reader is started the first time and displays license dialog.
    b) The reader was already runing and file is loaded with Drag&Drop or File/Open in the Reader
    But most times it does not load.
    I could not find out which file is missing or trying to be opened. So I tried with the CP949.TXT.
    I found no CP949.TXT in Reader 8 installation, so I took it from the link, pasted into notepad and stored in the respective directory
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\TypeSupport\Unicode\Mappings\win\
    Now it seems to work fine, opening PDFs with double click from exporer.
    But why did Adobe Reader 8 not have the TypeSupport directory at all?
    Even when having found a fix (hack?), I think I did not understand the cause of this problem.
