Cannot do save function for existing form

Just got a new computer with Acrobat Standard 11. When I open an existing form and enter data into those fields and do a save I am told must change the file name. I cannot save this form in the same file name. I can in an another name but I do not want the same form name with multiple names. So I came to this forum for help in how to solve this problem. Anybody?

Message said something like must save to a different name. I do not have the exact error. It is left at work on my computer there.
No the folder is not restricted. Can save form after adding data but it has to be in a different name. It is not opened from an attachment. It is open from a folder on a network server.

  • Is there a save function for online forms?

    Hi, I've created an online form which requests quite a lot of information from those who it is sent to.  Because of its size, I have made use of the skip logic rules to so that users can quickly skip sections that don't apply to them.  Notwithstanding this, the form asks questions which users may need to reseach and come back to so it wouldbe really useful if the form had a save function.  Does anyone know if such a function exists and if not, whether there are there imminent plans to develope one?
    If not, regreattably I will have to try and find another solution for online information gather that has a save and return function.

    hi randy
    I wholely support the request for a save feature for online forms, any idea of an ETA for this?
    Also to expand on this- the ability to print the  web form would be brillant.
    a few options for the  web forms submit to print, save.
    Web forms after/before  submission maybe to save as a pdf locally -  which then could be printed out.

  • Save  functionality for FPM component

    Hi,
    my requirement is provide  input field on the header portion , when i hit ' save and print preview' it should save and preoview the the  whole data.
    i have  provided input field on the header.. but not sure  how to get the print functionality in fPM component.
    and also how to  find  what smart form/pdf using  by any webdynpro component? where to check?
    by  input field shou;d be displayed on the existing form, when I use save and print button.
    please help!

    Hi,
    First thing is to get the smart form name put a external break point in F.M SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME
    and debug on save button this way you will get the smartform name.
    If it's a standard FPM component enhance the component and in post exit on 'save and print'
    You can get the OTF data from the smartform now and then can convert it to PDF CONVERT_OTF
    Hope it helps.

  • Save versus Save As for PDF Forms

    Windows 7 (x64)
    Adobe Reader 11.0.07.79
    I download a PDF fill-in form.  Opening it with Adobe Reader, I see just below the tool bar a banner that says: "Please fill out the following form, You can save data typed into the form." 
    I partially insert data.  When I select Save (NOT Save As), I get the Save As navigation window.  If I do not close the fill-in form, and insert more data, the next time I select Save, it saves without the Save As navigation window. 
    To demonstrate, try the U.S. individual tax return Form 1040, which can be downloaded from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf. 
    I reported this same problem a few years ago, citing Windows XP and an earlier version of Adobe Reader (version 10.?).  Is there a plan and schedule to fix this? 

    Word 12.0.6695.5000
    Excel 12.0.6683.5002

    All of the applications listed above -- just a few of those I have on my PC -- silently save when I request "Save" for an altered EXISTING file.  Note that, contrary to comment #6, Word (from Office 2007) is among them. 

  • Save Options for my forms

    I've designed some forms using Adobe designer but now when my clients fill them out they can't save then edit. They can only save as a pdf which locks in the changes. I need them to be able to save then go back and make edits and not have to start over each time.
    I'd love for someone to help point me in the right direction as I'm stuck.
    Thanks much.

    Hi Tammi,
    I don't know wether you've already found the solution for this (many people have had the same issue, and there are several posts about it) - but if you haven't, I hope this helps:
    In your form, do as follows:
    Add a button (not the email submit button, just the "button")
    Set the Control type to Submit(under your Object tab)
    On the Submit tab (under your Object tab), add "mailto:[email protected]" in the Submit to URL box
    Change the Submit As drop down to 'PDF' (your other options are XML, XDP and FDF)
    Save the form
    Open the form in Adobe Professional 8.0 (not livecycle designer)
    Go to the Advanced option on the toolbar and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" which will require you to save the file again.
    And the you're ready to go!

  • Problem with Save functionality for a Screen - Field

    Hi Experts,
    I  have included a custom field with list box option to an infotype. The new filed  displays the values based on the values selected in the standard field which has a list box option.
    Now if we enter the transaction in change mode and change the standard field value without pressing ENTER and click SAVE button, it gets saved with an improper value in the custom field. The reason being the custom field values with drop down list is retreived only after we press enter (POV is triggered) after selecting a standard field.
    Options tried:
    I have included an error message (in PAI)  to stop the values being saved, but the screen beomes disabled.
    I have done my validation only on the custom field as there is no other possibility to validate any other fields on the screen (all are standard). Here the error message pops up and the field is in the enable mode, but it does not retrieve the possible values for the custom field based on my earlier selection for the standard field.( Because as POV does not get triggered in this case)
    Ex.  Std field value = USA
           Custom field   =  United States of America
    I changed the value in Standard field to = UK and click SAVE - It get saved
    Now how to stop it from SAVING and let it know that there is an error in the custom field and it needs to select the right value from the list ie - United Kingdom.
    Lakshmi

    Perhaps a solution is to save the code value, not the text for the code, and only display the text.  In this way, the database would have UK and when you re-entered the screen, a PBO module could obtain the text for UK for display.
    Or, if you must store the text value instead of the code (seems redundant...you can look up the text anytime), an enhancement to the save to database logic to obtain the correct value from the current value of the code and save that to the database....

  • Help on determining version for existing forms & porting to Forms 9i

    I'm new to Oracle and Oracle Forms.
    I have a large number of *.fmb, *.fmx, *.pll, *.sql files (all developed in the early 1990's).
    I am trying to convert them to 9i. Are there any "How-To's" on the subject?
    Is there a tool to help me determine what the original Forms version is?
    Also . . .
    When opening a *.fmb in Forms 9i, I get the error "FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library <filename>.pll. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
    I opened the specified *.pll file and then another form and received the same error.
    Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brian Atkinson

    Generally speaking you can just open up a form in 9i and that will upgrade it. There are specific issue on moving from client/server to the web and you can go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click to view the Forms Upgrade Centre.
    The error you are getting probably means that the form has a library attached but when you open that form it cannot find it.
    What I would do is make sure the location of the pll files is on the FORMS90_PATH environment variable (in the registry on Windows).
    Another note - you can go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click to download other versions of the software - including 6i. However while it may only be certified to go to 61 and then 9i, in many cases you can go directly from 4.5. to 9i.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with SaveAs function using random paths.

    The Setup:
    Part 1) I have a folder-level script that allows me to perform a SaveAs function from within forms. I do this as a way to save the document quietly in the background. The effect is that the file is overwritten by a copy of itself. The script is:
    var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cPath,cFlName)
        app.beginPriv();
        cPath = cPath.replace(/([^\/])$/, "$1/");
        try{
            oDoc.saveAs(cPath + cFlName);
        }catch(e){
            app.alert("Error During Save");
        app.endPriv();
    Part 2) From within my documents, I perform the save by calling the function below:
    function runSave()
    {if(typeof(mySaveAs) == "function") {
        var pathArray = this.path.split("/");
        var myFileName = pathArray[pathArray.length-1];
        var cPath = this.path.slice(0,myFileName);
        mySaveAs(this, cPath, myFileName);
    } else {
        app.alert("Missing Save Function\n" + "Please contact forms administrator");
    Part 3) I have several large forms that utilize an autosave to call the save function according to a time interval of 5 minutes, using:
    app.setInterval(runSave(), 300000);
    The Problem:
    Part 1) The autosave feature works fine and it works silently in the background. However, I start to experience problems when I have two forms open at the same time. If, for example, I have a form from one folder open, and open a form from a second folder, the save feature will sometimes save the active document to it's original folder (as intended, overwriting itself and creating an autosave) or sometimes save to the second document's original folder. This leaves me with an updated (autosaved) copy of the document in the wrong folder, and a non-updated copy in the original folder. This seems to vary depending on which document I opened last and/or which document is currently active. Though I can't seem to find the right combination.
    It's as thought the "this.path" is getting confused.
    Part 2) Worse still, if the two documents have the same name, as is often the case with these forms, any incorrect filing when saving causes an overwrite of the second document and loss of data.
    Part 3) To makes things maddening, this also happens at times when no second folder or second document is open. Instead, the misfiling saves the single, active document to a recently accessed folder. For example, I'll open a local folder and open a Word doc, close the doc and the folder, go to a different folder in a different root (a networked folder), open the form, and it autosaves to the local machine in the folder with the Word doc. So now not only do I have a non-updated copy in my correct folder, I have no idea where the updated copy was actually saved to until I come across it some time later.
    Part 4) Again, worse still, the previously accessed folder might happen to be one that contains a document with the same name, and that document gets overwritten by the autosave. I'll have no idea that the form has been overwritten until I happen to open it some time later and see that it contains data from a totally different form.
    What is going on and how do I stop it?
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro on a PC.

    Thank you, that is helpful to understand. I'd like to keep it as 3 parameters, as all my documents currently output 3 to the trusted function. And I'd still like to keep the error catch, but I'm not sure why the previous trusted function from the tutorial is no longer working, so I just want to run this by you:
    safeSaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(theDoc,thePath,theFileName){
        app.beginPriv();
        var fullPath = (thePath + theFileName);  
        try {
            theDoc.saveAs({cPath:fullPath});
        } catch(e) {
            app.alert("Error During Save");
        app.endPriv();
    myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction(function(theDoc,thePath,theFileName){
            app.beginPriv();
            safeSaveAs(theDoc,thePath,theFileName);
            app.endPriv();

  • Update existing form

    We've created a form on FormsCentral, and it's working very well. We'd now like to add a reset button to the form.  I know we can do this in Adobe Acrobat to the base form we created before bringing it into FormsCentral, but I don't want to lose the form information we already have for the existing form that FormsCentral is tracking.
    Can we update the form we have without losing all the response information?  I suppose I could re-import the information into FormsCentral from an excel sheet or other if the existing information isn't carried forward, but I'd like some feedback on this before I start making changes to the form and the information collected.

    Hi;
    It sounds like you are distributing your FormsCentral form in PDF and want to edit that PDF before continuing distributing adding a "Reset Form" button which you would do in Acrobat - is that correct?  Assuming it is, you could do this by doing a "Save a Copy" in Acrobat which will remove the Ubiqutization (enabling rights in Reader), you could then edit the form adding the "Reset Form" button, re-do the Reader Enabling and then send the form out.  We don't explicitly support editing the PDF but as long as you don't modify form in a way that breaks the submit you should be OK.
    Regarding Importing your PDF back into FormsCentral and having to re-import your data into that new form, you would also lose the ability to edit your form further in FormsCentral and you would lose the URL to fill the form out in a web browser.  The Import PDF Form feature is best for existing forms you do not want to re-create using our design tools, but they don't have a URL to fill out the form, and are not editable.  You are going to get better results by editing the PDF in Acrobat and then re-ubiquitizing it. 
    Let me know if I understood correctly, hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Johs

  • Interactive Gantt chart & save functionality

    I've been trying to develop an interactive Gantt chart within Web Dynpro ABAP. Things have been going fine and altough there doesn't seem to be much documentation available, I've managed to get a simple Gantt chart WD application up and running.
    The following is said in the documentation:
    "It is possible to store changes made within the displayed Gantt chart as data structures again in the back end."
    I understand this that if I do changes to the Gantt chart, I should be able to "track" these changes in my code (and for example save the changes to database or whatever). Anyhow, I am not able to get this done. I've put break points to the event handler methods, and read the XML from the context node, but the XML has not changed.
    I also enabled the SAVE functionality for the Gantt (in the XML), which made the Save-button visible. If I click the save-button, I would assume that at this point the XML is updated with the refreshed chart data. Anyhow, this does not seem to happen. The XML seem to have lost the relevant part of it (=basically everything under the <graph> tag, which would include the changes (this same problems was addressed also before: Interactive Gantt chart - how to receive updated XML after user changes)).
    Any hints are welcome. I guess that this should not be impossible. I assume that for example in cProjects (which uses Gantt chart a lot) is using this functionality - unfortunately I don't have an access to a cProjects system.
    Kind regards,
    Karri

    Long time, hah..

  • Features for online forms

    At some point in the future will there be the ability to save forms that are created in Adobe FormsCentral and then embedded in websites?  For longer forms, this would be a great help so that individuals could complete the form at their own pace.

    Well, the whole point is to get away from fillable PDF forms and make all forms available embedded into the website.  Which is why I asked if some day the save feature for embedded forms might be possible.
