"Background Save" in a Form

Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to add a "background save" in the "Password Change Form" whithout success.
<Field name='waveset.backgroundSave'>
<Display class='Hidden'/>
</Field>
I've included this code to the form. But I don't know how to add a Button to force the Change Password Workflow to be executed in "async" mode.
This is important because I've many resources and password change may require a great amount of time.
TIA
qbo

<Display class='Button'>

<Property name='command' value='Save'/>
</Display>
</Field>

Using Background Save in IDM

My account in IDM is set up so that I don't need any approvals to edit or add users. When I edit a user and add resources to the user and click 'SAVE' on the forms, it works fine, but when I click 'SAVE IN BACKGROUND' it says that it is awaiting approval. How do I get the save in background feature to work properly?
Thanks,
Jody

Did you look at the Task after you save in background? The applet which displays the workflow status is a bit confusing when you save in background. It stops at the moment the workflow is saved and doesn't progress any further down the diagram because it is paused until the Scheduler can pick it up and finish it in background.
It may have actually completed as expected. Go to the Tasks page and search for it.

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
Thank you,
Rumor

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

Is there a way to view the progress of and/or cancel a lengthy background save in CS6?

I had a situation where I had to quit Photoshop immediately, but it wouldn’t let me because a background save was in progress. I don’t like killing a program with the Task Manager during a write operation,
but that’s what I had to do.
If there’s a way to cancel a lengthy background save or to view its progress, I haven’t found it yet. There needs to be a way to do this.

Yes, look at the bottom of the image window where you see the progress of the save, there is a little "x" click that and the save is aborted.
Hope this helps, and hopefully it is a gracefeul cancel

View/Save/Print Embedded Form on Webpage to PDF

How can a user View/Save/Print Embedded Form on Webpage to PDF?

Hi,
Currently FormsCentral does not support to View/Save/Print Embedded Form from the Webpage to PDF. If you are the form author, you can save/print the form to PDF in FormsCentral, and the PDF forms can be viewed in Acrobat or Reader.Or if you like, you can save/print the entire web page to PDF using the browser, but the form could not be submitted then. I hope it's clear, and please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Kind regards,

How to get an Adobe trusted function javascript to save a pdf form even if fields are empty?

I have a form I have created in Livecycle designer which I want to save to a specific location using a combination of specific fields in the form. I have been able to do this by writing a trusted function and putting it in the adobe javascript file and then putting some code on a save button in the form. However, it may be that some of the fields (vfirstname and vsecondname) may be blank and i still want the form to save. Ideally i want to write an if statement to substitute those fields for other fields if they are blank but cant get the code to work.
Working code in trusted function file
// SaveAs Function1 var mySaveDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) { app.beginPriv(); var vDate1 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.leftsideofform.Timeanddate.Dateofca ll").rawValue.toString(); var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode(" form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.ClientFirstname").rawValue.toSt ring(); var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientsurname").rawValue.toString(); var myPath = "/MGLCC01-SV/MGPdata/Mihomecare/testce/" + vDate1 +"_" + vfirstname + "-" + vsecondname + ".pdf"; // saveAs is the only privileged code that needs to be enclosed doc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: true}); app.endPriv(); });
Working code on save button in form
form1.#pageSet[0].Newenquirymasterpage.Button1::mouseUp - (JavaScript, client) var txt = form1.execValidate(); //This script will validate all required fields event.target.mySaveDoc(event.target) xfa.host.messageBox("Document has been saved to shared drive", "File Saved", 3, 1);
IF code for trusted function file that I cant get to work
// SaveAs Function1 var mySaveDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) { app.beginPriv(); var vDate1 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.leftsideofform.Timeanddate.Dateofca ll").rawValue.toString(); if (event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient. ClientFirstname").rawValue == " ") { var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Enquirer.EnquFirstn ame").rawValue.toString(); } else { var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientFirstname").rawValue.toString(); } if (event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient. Clientsurname").rawValue == " ") { var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Enquirer.Enqsurname ").rawValue.toString(); } else { var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientsurname").rawValue.toString(); } var myPath = "/MGLCC01-SV/MGPdata/Mihomecare/testce/" + vDate1 +"_" + vfirstname + "-" + vsecondname + ".pdf"; // saveAs is the only privileged code that needs to be enclosed doc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: true}); app.endPriv(); });
Can anyone suggest why the If code above doesn't work? or how i could get the form to submit even if the fields are blank?

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

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!

How can I save my fillable form so that when I share my form with other people they are able to save the fillable version of the form?

I made a fillable form in Adobe Live Cycle - The problem I'm having is that when I share the form with someone they are unable to save the fillable version of the form once information has been put in - I need them to be able to save the fillable form so that when we need to make changes in the future that we don't need to fill out the entire form again.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Save & Send PDF Form

Hi all,
I'm trying to program a function in my PDF form that will automaticly save the PDF form in a folder and then sends the (just saved) PDF form attached in an e-mail.
I've got the mail function working with my submit button. The only question is how can i get my PDF form to first save and then send the form?
I've treid several saving scripts but couldn't get it working.
Could you guys help me out?
Kind Regards,
Vincent
Below my code:
// Set up the recipients,subject, body, etc.
var sTo = this.getField("Unit").value;
var sBCC = "[email protected]";
var sSubject = "Nice subject";
var sBody = "Bla bla bla";
// Set the error messge to display if it doesn't work, \r = carriage return
var sErrorMsg = "Could not send email. Please make sure your email client is set up correctly.\r\r";
sErrorMsg += "Otherwise, save this file and manually attach it to an email to: " + sTo +" [email protected]";
// Email the entire document
try {
    mailDoc({
    bUI: true,
    cTo: sTo,
    cBcc: sBCC,
    cSubject: sSubject,
    cMsg: sBody
} catch(e) {
    app.alert(sErrorMsg, 1);

To save with a script, you'll have to use the doc.saveAs method. There are a number of security related issues you'll have to deal with, as discussed here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

I cannot save a fillable form for future use. It wont open in preview either...what do I need to do?

I am a paid subscriber and have a fillable form that I want to save and pick up later.
Do I have no option?
I tried to even install a pdf driver as a printer and upon print, the fillable form says print not allowed and I have to save...and when I try to save, it says I can only save a blank form!!
What do I need to do here?

Hi mlleslie,
If I understand correctly, you've converted a file and now want to download it and remove it from your Acrobat.com account. Is that correct? What happens when you try to download it from https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you get an error?
Once you've downloaded it, you can delete it from your account by selecting it and clicking the trash can icon.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How to Save Completed PDF Form (Embedded in HTML)

We have a PDF Form which is displayed embedded in our HTML page (via a browser plugin).
The user can submit the Form from within the HTML page (the embedded frame with the PDF contains the whole form and the Submit button).
The toolbar on the Reader plugin shows the Save button, but when we click it, we get an error saying the document cannot be saved, only printed. Here is our issue:
1) We need to allow the user to save the form locally,
2) including their *completed data*
Is there any way to do this from within the plugin? Thanks

Only specially enabled forms can be saved with data in Reader. If you have Acrobat Standard or Pro you can save data in forms. Forms can only be enabled for saving with Reader using Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

How do I save a completed form?

My job requires that I complete forms, applications, data sheets, etc. and return the completed form to the vendor. Since an upgrade to Adobe Acrobat X Pro, I can't figure out how to SAVE THE COMPLETED FORM. Once I fill everything in, I need to know how to save the information so it can't be changed. How do I do this? Thank you for any answers!

To save the form and prevent changes to the form fields you can either flatten the fields, apply standard password security, or digitally sign the document (certification or approval signature). Some of these may not be possible depending on how the forms are currently set up. It's hard to say which would be best without knowing more about the forms and how they will be used throughout the intended workflow.

Save the PDF Form with Field Name

HI Guys,
I have the Requirment in PDF Form.The PDF Form is generated with the Adobe Live Cycle Designer.After generating the PDF Form the user filled the details in the form and save the filled form.while clicking the Save button the default PDF name is displayed in the File name box.The Requirement is iam having one field in the form.The Field name value should needs to displayed in the File name box during saving.Is it possible.Once its possible please let me know.This is needs to be delivered very shortly.
Thanks & Regards,
SatheshKumar R

You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)
