Adobe Reader unable so save fillable form

I am trying to fill out a PDF Form, but if does not allow me to save changes unless I save a copy. The PDF is already saved as reader extended, I have Adobe XI Pro but several others users only have Adobe Reader. This form was working just fine last week. I tried opening with Reader X and XI and neither will allow me to save the changes.

Thank you I will have them try this.
On a separate note- I am sending these forms on a private social networking site and when they click them it opens in a new browser tab. If they fill it out from the tab and then save it to their computer it does not save what they wrote; its just blank. I have had to have my students save to a computer file first then fill out from there and save it and then upload it again to the site. Is there a way to make it save right from the browser?

  • Reader still cannot save fillable forms

    I'm using LiveCycle Designer to create a fillable form that I wish to have sent back to me as a pdf or for the user to save the completed form locally. I have "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" under the advanced tab. However, when I send the fillable form to my users with reader, sometimes they cannot even fill in the form because it says that the form has been altered since the rights were enabled(which it hasn't) and at other times, they can fill out the form and save it, but the saved file is just a blank form(They're not choosing Save a Copy). I do not wish to use LifeCycle ES Reader Extension because this is a small venture and I don't technically have a server I can access. Can someone give me some clue as to what I might still be doing wrong?

    Sorry.. I thought I replied to this message earlier. Apparently not. In any event, Adobe Reader 9 is being used. There is no script that changes the appearance of the form as far as I'm aware. I downloaded a form from the form gallery.. and enabled the usage rights and then emailed it to myself. When I opened it on my laptop, it told me that the document had been altered since it had been saved(which it hadn't) and wouldn't let me fill in the form or save it.

  • Adobe Reader in iPad for fillable forms

    I created a fillable, saveable pdf file in LiveCycle for my employees to use when out with clients. I have a couple employees who are having issues with the file while trying to access it on their iPads (it won't load properly).
    What Adobe app should they install on their on their iPads in order for this file to work? Is it Adobe Pro?
    Thanks.

    There is an Adobe Reader for iOS http://itunes.apple.com/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    However I don't think it supports forms, so I think the answer is unfortunately, there is no solution for what you want to do.

  • Save Fillable Forms on Reader

    Hello,
    I am having difficulties with forms for Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader X. I created a form on word document and exported it to PDF and make the form fillable. If I open the form with Acrobat i can fill the form and save it on my computer. If i open the form with Reader the form can be filled in but cannot save. I need to send this form out to my clients so that they can fill it out and save it and then send back to me. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Is using Acrobat the only solution to save the form? Please confirm. Thank You.

    Oh and, be sure to reader section 15.12.3 of the Acrobat End User License Agreement. There are limitations of use to enabled forms. You'll want to stay within those limits. If you need to exceed those limits, they offer a very expensive server side product that you can use.

  • Adobe Reader won't save forms under Mavericks.

    After installing Mavericks on a Mac, discovered that Adobe Reader won't save forms or e-mail them with the filled-in information. DOes anyone know a fix? Does anyone know if this is also true for Acrobat?

    The reason is Adobe has not updated there software yet to play well with Mavericks. The fault is of course with the Adobe Software. I suggest you go to there web site and see if they have a fix yet for there software, If not all you can do is continue to check back with them or get on there fourms and see what others have to say about this same issue.

  • The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again - tried the trust standards...

    2013 standard sharepoint server.  Content DBs were on a Trial enterprise server and copied over to standard server. All was good on trial server.
    there are 8 sites on server, 2 of the sites cannot create or edit items, they get "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
    googling around i tried everything. restarted search host controller, checked ram usage (8gb free), manage content types, iisresets, edit the web.config file ( add things for ram, search host, etc), no alternate access mappings, .net HTTP activation, rebooted
    server... I'm sure i missed some.
    The server is new install, all but the August HF CUs. Trial server the content DBs came from is at same level.
    It is not a server level issue as the other 6 sites are fine. its something with just 2 sites.
    kinda stuck here...
    Thanks,

    With the USL Logs were hard to track down what was happening, though I think it was too do with /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery.
    I did the Enable/Disable Anonymous Access on the Directory with no luck.
    Brought up Fiddler and Saw that I was getting 401 and 500 Errors on
    GET http://team.intranet.eandm.com/it/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery HTTP/1.1
    So it had something to do with Permissions. I checked the Authentication and the sites that worked had Forms Auth Enabled, and the ones that didn't, didn't have forms Auth enabled.  Enabling it manually was no go.
    I then went though the web.config on the working and non-working sites and there were some differences.   The Authentication was Forms on the working site, Windows on the nonworking. There was many things not present. httpModules section was missing,
    Many of the Microsoft Identity /Authentication lines etc. 
    So I Basically took the web.config from the working site and copied it to the non-working site preserving the following line from the original web.config:
    <machineKey validationKey="{key}" decryptionKey="{key}" validation="{hash}" />
    After that I had Security Issues, Though I think this was Caused by the July 2014 CU making everything use the Microsoft Identity parts, where as the server I was porting form had the sites created before the July 2014 CU. (though both were at the same level)
    Even though all of the users were present in the site security, I had to Drop and re-add them to every site/and list with special Perms. 
    With the Security Fixed, I no longer received the Error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
    Knock on wood its all functioning fine. 

  • The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again

    Having created a new custom list (even with only a text field) I am unable add new items to the list - the error message is Unexpected
    response from server. The status code of response is '0'. The status text of response is ''. when in 'quick edit'.
    If I try to add or modify an item in the list by clicking 'add new item' I get "The
    server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I have restarted the Sharepoint Search Host Controller server but to no avail. I have 24Gb RAM for this server so it's not a
    memory issue (8Gb available). I have also tried from various browsers including Chrome and Safari - still the same error message.
    This error only occurs on lists. I can edit document properties in a library and have no problems with calendar entries.
    There are no entries in the event viewer, so where do I need to begin looking to find out what is (or rather is not) happening?

    One thing I noticed in SP 2013 is that if your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error: "The server was unable to save the form at this time.
    Please try again."
    This can be resolved by either giving that user/group atleast read access at the site level or in my case I had to create a new permission set (since we cant update limited access permission set) which is same as limited access but with the additional permission
    of "Use Remote Interfaces  -  Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site."
    I am not sure if this is a bug or as per design, but not allowing a user who has needed permissions at the list level but limited access at site level doesnt seem right. Never ran into this issue in prior version of SharePoint. I tested and this additional
    permission doesnt seem to violate any security at site level. But implement this at your risk. No guarantees provided and not responsible for any issues with this implementation if any.

  • Error:- The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.

    Hi,
    I have SP 2013 intranet sites. 
    I am trying to edit the list item in site and getting the error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I read many article on this forum. to chck web.config file, to restart
    “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” But no help.
    Still i am getting this. what could be the reason now.
    Please provide the resolution. I am trying to resolve this from last two days. 
    Thanks,
    Rakesh

    Normally, there's something wrong with the form responsible for editing list items. Is it customized? If not, you could use the free SharePoint Designer tool to delete the current form, create a new one (wait some time before caching issues are solved)
    and you should be good to go. If it is customized, contact the team responsible for managing it.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from e.g. dropbox)

    Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from dropbox I can still see them after closing the app or switching documents)? I lost some valuable annotations while switching documents and apps over time. How do I save them? Only by sending it to dropbox for instance?

    It saves the file when:
    1) The app goes to background
    2) A share action (open in, email, print) occurs
    3) A form submit occurs
    4) You close the document by going to "Home" or "Documents", or open another document
    One issue that people encounter is that they open the file in a reader that does not support annotations (like the dropbox PDF view or the iOS Mail app). It doesn't sound like this is the case for you though, since you do see the annotations.
    There is a known issue, where on a small number of documents with specific properties, we fail to save changes. This is an issue that we have fixed and will be in our next release. The release is currently pending approval by Apple. It's possible that you encountered this issue, and if so, I apologize.

  • Hi, Is it possible to enable Adobe ReadersX users to save filled forms without enabling them to have access to the additional features as highlighting etc?

    Hi, Is it possible to enable Adobe ReadersX users to save filled forms without enabling them to have access to the additional features as highlighting etc?

    You can do that with individual pdf files using Adobe Acrobat to set the security.
    In Acrobat go to File>Properties>Security. Choose password security as the security method then choose "restrict editing and printing of the document..." and under "Changes allowed" choose "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields".

  • I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.

    I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.  The error message states: Acrobat.com could not save this file. The file might be open in another application and cannot be overwritten.

    Did saving ever work or did it fail the first time you tried?
    Have you tried to save to multiple locations?  Maybe it has something to do with permissions on the directory you are trying to save to.
    Have you tried saving something from another web site to the same location?  Try creating and saving a file in/from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#o and see if that has the same result.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Error while creating task: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again. (SharePoint 2013)

    I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:
    "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I tried restarting "search service host controller".
    The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.
    I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.
    How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

    Hi robikshrestha,
    This error message often shows when there is low memory that can be used, the workaround restart the “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” service is to release some memory, and make it work. Whether restart the service release memory
    in your situation?
    Would you please check whether this issue happens all the time in task list, or happens sometimes when the memory is lower to use. If it doesn’t have a large impact, you can restart the server, check the result. have a look at the event
    log and ULS log, see whether there is related information.
    If it happens all the time, would you please use other browsers, whether the results are same? This may be caused by some add-ons in IE, like Free Download Manager I have seen.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader unable to fill in Secured Fillable Adobe Forms on ipad

    I am unable to fill in my Adobe Fillable Secure Form using Adobe Reader. Help!    

    Currently, the Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Android) do not allow users to make changes (including filling in form fields) to secure/protected PDF documents (whose contents are encrypted).  Because saving encrypted data has not been supported yet.
    Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac computer to fill in the secured fillable forms, instead.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • After most recent Reader update can't save fillable forms.

    After the most recent Adobe Reader XI update, we can no longer save PDFs with fillable forms on the first save attempt. A little background for you. We have forms that we periodically need to change the information in. My users came to me with this issue, when I tried it, I could save. Naturally I thought it was a rights issue since I am an admin, but I checked for Reader updates first to make sure I was on the same version. There were updates for mine, after installing them I have the same issue now. When I change the data in a fillable form, the first attempt to save I am told that it can't be saved and I will need to use a different filename or location. I click OK, after clicking OK my document name in the title bar canges from whatever.pdf to something random.tmp. Now, since it is technically a different document open I can save it to the file I want it to be. Is there a new option or function causing this? This has never been an issue in the past with these PDFs.

    Hi,
    Are you still facing this issue? What is the current version of Reader installed.
    Regards,
    Ajlan Huda.
