Can't save form data?

Can't save form data in reader. Using acrobat 9 pro. Reader-enabling forms option is unavailable.

Save as>Reader Extended with Additonal Features Enabled should allow saving form data with Reader.

PDFMaker 9.1, Excel 2003, Users can't save form data

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some assistance with a problem.
I created a new form in Adobe Pro 9.1 bringing in an excel template. The final product looked great. I had our IT department post it on our Intranet, and some individuals commented back they cannot save a copy of the data they entered in the blank form. I tested with others where it works fine. I can't confirm 100%, but it seems whoever has the Adobe "Pro" version can save and those with just the "standard" cannot save. They get that message Save a Blank Copy of this Form, Data typed into this form will not be saved..."etc.
I tried going to Advanced-Extend Features in Adobe Reader, but that doesn't help either once posted on the website.
Any suggestions how to enable so that all users (1000's) can save their work they typed into the document if they wish?
Thanks so much in advance!

Not specifically addresses whatever is causing the issue.
Just an obtw re: "extended" PDF forms (which, if there are users of Adobe Reader, will have to be made use of):
When you "extend" a PDF form usage most comply with the "500 limit" of the EULA.
With "1000's" of end-users you may well be in harms way.
See Section 15.12.3 (PDF page 408 of 410).
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Gen_WWCombined-20080205_1329.pdf
LiveCycle ES avoids this but is costly.
Alternatively, piping out the user's form input to FDF and processing that at the server level could be done.
For this, you might have your IT folks give the FDF SDK a look over.
Be well...

Reader 5.1 DOES save form data. But where??

I have used Reader 5.1 for the past couple of years to fill in some forms. It will save the filled-in data when the form is closed despite the fact that's it's apparently not supposed to be able to (and save as, email, etc. all indicate that the data would be lost because I'm not allowed to edit the file). I always assumed it was in the pdf, but this year, I noticed something odd: I had to fill in two copies of the form with different data. After filling it in once, I copied the pdf and overwrote all the data in the fields with the new data. Now, whenever either one is opened, the first data displays briefly and is then overwritten with the second data.
So...
The data is saved when it can't be.
This version of Reader doesn't even support saving the data, but it's saved anyway.
Data that was typed into one shows up in both.
Reader is not actually installed, but only extracted from the archive (works fine this way and doesn't muck my system up as much) so I can remove it when done (I use Foxit for all other pdfs).
Finally, the saved data will eventually disappear but the length of time appears to be volatile.
The form in question is an Alabama tax form if that helps (download link can be provided if you want it).
I want to separate the two lists of data and actually save it somewhere but I have no idea where it's saved. I believe the pdf got bigger after I added data but the modification date is unchanged, nothing obvious shows up when it's loaded into notepad and that doesn't explain how the second data showed up in the first file.
Help???

Thanks George. Unfortunatly, Enable Additional Features does not limit them to just editing form data. It also gives them the rights to use commenting and drawing tools. Looking to give people ONLY rights to edit and save form data. If that is possible. It'sa legal thing, we don't want them to be able to mark it up with comments.
Anybody know if this even can be done with Acrobat X Pro?

How can I save my data and the date,the time into the same file when I run this VI at different times?

I use a translation stage for the experiment.For each user in the lab the stage position (to start an experiment) is different.I defined one end of the stage as zero. I want to save the position , date and time of the stage with respect to zero.I want all these in one file, nd everytime I run it it should save to the same file, like this:
2/12/03 16:04 13567
2/13/03 10:15 35678
So I will track the position from day to day.If naybody helps, I appreciate it.Thanks.

Hi,
I know the function "write to spreadsheet file.vi"
can append the data
to file. You can use the "concatenate strings" to display the date,
time as well as data... Hope this help.

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

I can not save any data to external hard drive from my mac pro. Is there anyone can help me in this regard?( note, when i first plug my ext. drive to mac i chose option to backup later)

I can not save any data to external hard drive from my mac pro. Is there anyone can help me in this regard?( note, when i first plug my ext. drive to mac i chose option to backup later)

The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

How can i submit form-data with acrobat pocket pc

how can i submit form-data (http-post) on a PPC?
how can i store the data offline?
which submit-functions are availabe for the pocket pc reader?
do i need ARES?
where can i find a documentation of of the available functions for the ppc version?
where can i fond form-samples for ppc?
from the docu on my pocket pc:
Submit form data using handheld devices over a wireless connection. If you are working offline, the data is temporarily stored, then submitted once a connection is established. Send forms by e-mail or directly to the destination server using a cradle or cable

To your question regarding the Pocket PC version of Reader, I downloaded Adobe Reader for Pocket Pc 2 and installed it on my HP iPAQ . I then loaded my test PDF file onto the iPAQ. The Reader for Pocket PC preformed an email submission fine. However, I received no indication that anything happened when I tried an HTTP Post. So I think you can only do an email submission.
In general, I have been testing to see how much I can do without the Live Cycle Reader Extensions, since for sure I will never be able to purchase them. What I have found is that for Acrobat Reader 7, the email submission works for all of the people I have asked to test it, but the HTTP Post has worked for only one of the two people who have tested it so far with Reader 7 (the one for which it worked claims that he only has Reader 7 on his computernot Acrobat).

How we can populate the form data from 2D barcode

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how we can populate the form data from 2D barcode, will this can be done through script(javascript)?.
Thanks & Regards,
Faisal Afzal

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am basically doing the same . I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

How can i save a data in text format

how can i save a data in text format in labwindows cvi
Message Edited by Tikoy on 04-14-2010 11:30 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
If your data is in an array, the easiest way is to use the ArrayToFile function.
It automatically creates a file and puts your data in it according to the format you provide.
If you have individual samples that you need to write once in a while, you can either collect them into an array and then use ArrayToFile or open a file with fopen and write them as they are acquired with fwrite.
Hope this helps,

HT1320 how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?

how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?
in another way : how can i save my date stored on my classic iPOD as a external hard .... when that msgs appears .... volume doesn't contain a recognized file system , make sure the file system is loaded .... then , you need to format ??? can anyone help ?

It sounds like the iPod's storage has data corruption. You may be able to treat it like an external drive and use data recovery software on it, but it probably won't work because the system is telling you that the drive needs to be formatted before it is recognized.
If the problem is data corruption and there is no hardware-related problem on the iPod's hard drive, a Restore should fix the problem. But this will obviously erase the iPod's hard drive.

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.
