Cannot save, cannot print PDF form in Adobe Reader 9

I downloaded a PDF form for an application from the internet. It opened in Adobe Reader 9, where I was able to fill out information in the PDF. Some areas required a scroll bar for long lists of information. Now, I cannot save the PDF or else all of my information disappears!! I cannot print the PDF, because all of the information is not immediately visible, due to scroll bars. It only prints what is immediately visible.
I need help - I cannot save, print, or exit out of this form that I have filled out multiple times at this point from attempts to Save.

What means "cannot"; what happens when you try?

Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

Cannot open a PDF form in Adobe Reader 7

Hello
I have developed a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8. The form has java script embedded in it to do validations. The form has Usage Rights enabled and works well versions 8 and 9. However, when I open the form in Adobe Reader 7, I am getting an error message asking me to download a higher version. When I view the form properties in LiveCycle Designer for this form, I have the following settings:
XDP Preview form: Acrobat 7 (static PDF form) under defaults tab.
Under compatibility tab, I have the following settings:
Form Type: Acrobat 8 (static PDF form)
Text Formatting: Version 7
Event model: Version 7.
Much appreciate if someone could tell me how to make this form compatible with Adobe Reader 7.

thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
Appreciate your quick response.

Cannot save or print pdf from safari in Snow Leopard

Just recently have been unable to save or print PDF documents from two different websites using either Safari or FireFox on Snow Leopard (10.6). The same websites can be accessed, saved or printed on a different computer using Safari and Lion (10.7). Looking for help.

Found a previous post that suggested doing a Right Click on the PDF form in the Safari Window and then printing from the pop-up menu. This does work. Also, on one of the PDF forms there was a pop-up menu at the bottom of the form that appears only when you move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the form. From this memu I could either save or print. But, just using the Safari File>Print command did not work.
Although both of the alternate techniques work, it is still a mystery why this behavior should suddenly appear.

Cannot display pdf form with Adobe Reader 9.1.3

Since the last update of my Reader (last version is 9.1.3), I can't display pdf form in the workspace. I got a blank page.
Is anybody have the same problem?

- Go to the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > Software > Adobe >Acrobat> delete any older version that is older than the one you just updated to make sure it contains only the current one you have for both Acrobat Reader and/or Pro version since it did not removed when you uninstall or update.
- Also go the installed directory where you installed the Acrobat and delete any folder that contains older version, same here with the registry, it did not remove when you uninstall/update acrobat reader or pro.
The above steps also solve the problem of can not open pdf file within Internet Explorer or browser as well.

Cannot print pdf files with Adobe reader 9.3

I upgraded from Adobe 7 to 9.3 and now I can not print pdf files. I am able to print word and any other type of file but not pdf. The printer will pull paper into it like it is going to print but stops and nothing else happens. I have an HP C3100 printer.I also tried to do what the support web site said to do but no luck. I also tried to do a system restore but it would not do it. Does anyone have a idea to help fix this?

Issue with being able to fill in data and save pdf forms in adobe reader

Hi All,
This is my first time posting on this forum so not sure what way to go about it so i'll just start by explaining my problem.
I purchased adobe acrobat xi standard to create pdf forms(fillable forms) so that the receipents of these forms can open them in adobe reader, save them on their local drive and fill them in.
However, when I uploaded them online(as they will be downloaded from an internal website) - when the forms are opened in the browser this error appears
Currently when this error appears the client canno fill in their data or save it.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated!
Noel

Thanks for replying pat - that was another question I have. Is there a way I can get a dialog box to pop up when they click on the forms button?
Like the following;
As at the moment, they would have to click the actual "save" icon - and the same error will appear on their local disk?

Unable to save LiveCycle PDF form in Adobe Reader: Steps on Adobe don't work

I went to follow the steps provided in the help video on Adobe. Two issues I couldn't solve:
How do you login to LiveCycle via the web as an admin? How do you get to the LiveCycle admin portal?
The local host (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions) is unavailable. Every time I try to go there I get a 500 error message page. What is the new local host?
The steps I followed were:
So according to a video on its official website, in order to enable LiveCycle forms in Reader so they can be saved you need an Adobe Reader Extension which means we need a Reader Extension Credential loaded onto the server. For that you need to purchase a Reader extension license from Adobe.
However, there is a trial version Eric or Jay could instal for me on the Remote Desktop. They can find it at:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle.html
They will want to download the “Trial Reader Extensions Certificate” under “Downloads and updates”. It’s a 30 day trial which should work fine for our needs.
The credential then needs to be imported into the Adobe Administrator. To do that they need to:
Login to LiveCycle as an admin (via the web?)
Go to “Settings"
Go to “Trust store management”
Go to “Local credentials”
Click “Import"
Trust store type should be “Reader Extensions Credential”
Give it a name (i.e. Alias)
Browse to credential file
.pfx is the credential file
.txt is the password
Right-click the .txt
Click “Open”
Copy password from notepad
Close notepad
Open the .pfx file
Paste in password copied from .txt file under “Password” in import form
Click OK
Then there’s something about going to Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions program (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions). Don’t ask. I’m personally lost at this point.
In Extensions program they need to:
Select the Extensions credential
Click the check box next to
“Basic form fill-in”
“Import and export data”
“Submit outside of web browser”
“Database and web service connectivity”
“Digital Signatures”
“Commenting”
“Online Commenting"
Set “Draft Level” to “Final”
Click the check box next to “Full Save”
“Browse” to the SNAP Survey I created and saved on the server.
Click “Apply”
In new window that appears:
Click “Download”
Save back to the server

If you're on the machine that's running LC the administrator console is http://localhost:8080/adminui
If you're not able to get to localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions then I suspect the LiveCycle server is not on your machine. If that's the case you'll have to find out the name of the server running LiveCycle and connect using that name instead of localhost.

Saving responses in pdf form in Adobe Reader

Hi,
I have an existing pdf document (for a competition entry form) which i converted into a form using Acrobat Pro. I want to post this on my website for users to download, complete and email back to me. However, when the pdf form is opened up in Adobe Reader (which most people have), they cannot save it.
Going back to Acrobat Pro it gives me the option to distribute to a list of email addresses and collate the responses. This is not what I want to do as I do not know all the recipients.
Is there a way to allow this document to be saved in Adobe Reader?
Thanks, Simon

There is but as I mentioned in your post in the Reader forum, it is not available in Acrobat 7. You need 8 or better.
Also, if you DO get 8, be sure and read the usage rights on enabled forms. There is a limit for data colletion. Basically you can only collect 500 filled in forms.

Error Viewing Fillable PDF Forms in Adobe Reader on iPhone/iPad

I created a fillable form on a Windows computer in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but when I open the document from an email attachment in the Adobe Reader app on my iPhone or iPad the top have of the form is blacked out (literally the top half of the document has a black box over it). I can't see the fields, but if I touch the screen in that area I can edit them. However, I still cannot see anything in that area. When I zoom in and out, sometimes the blacked out area will become visible, but when it's done adjusting the zoom levels the blacked out area covers the form again.
I just downloaded the Adobe Reader app today, so it's not an old version.
I tried on an iPhone and an iPad.
I can see the whole form when I open the attachment in Safari, but I want to be able to edit it and see all the fields.
Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?

In case anyone else has this problem, I fixed it...
Situation: I made the fillable form with an existing PDF document, I did not start from scratch.
Solution: I saved the original PDF as a Word document, and then turned on the "paragraph marking" tool in Word. This revealed that there was a text box hidden at the bottom of the document. Once I removed the text box, I re-saved the document as a PDF and recreated the form again. It was kind of a pain, but it solved the problem!

Submitting pdf form using Adobe Reader

Using Acrobat 9 Pro I created a form to capture personal info from donors to our non-profit. When displayed in Acrobat 9 the SUBMIT button works as intended (brings up a message to send using my Email client with the pdf attached and addressed to the Email I have entered in the URL block.) Using the SUBMIT button while in Reader 9 on another PC I receive the error message that "this operation is not permitted". My preferred solution would be to enable Reader to do the same as Acrobat 9. I understand that Reader cannot save a form. Since I am only collecting at most 9 small fields I could live with just getting the data from the forms. Since the donors may have various versions of Reader, I need a solution that does not require the latest versions of Reader (8 or 9) to do these actions.

For your application, e-mail is probably a bad idea. However, if you insist you should have the form submit a FDF or XML data file, not the PDF. You can open the FDF and XML files in the original form to see the data if you desired. The data file submission is not limited to the 500 use limit of the form. Due to the nature of the material, I would think it is much safer to submit the data to a web server and not through e-mail that is typically not very secure.
A last note it that e-mail submission requires the client machine to be using MAPI. If not, they will get an error and you will be blamed. Submitting to a web script avoids this issue.

Problems Submitting PDF Forms via Adobe Reader XI?

Hi,
I have used Acrobat Pro (Versions 9/X and XI) to successfully create fillable PDF forms. I distributed the forms to a server via Acrobat, then set up a hyperlink to the form's location for my users. The users were able to fill the form and submit it. I was able to manage the submitted form data via Adobe Tracker. Recently, many of my users have been updated to Acrobat Reader XI. Now, some of these same users (who have successfully submitted these forms in the past - before the latest upgrade) can no longer submit the form data! If a user fills the form and clicks submit, it appears to that user that the form was successfully submitted, but no data appears in Adobe Tracker, even after refreshing... What would cause this??
Thank you!

What is your operating system? What is your Reader XI version? What exactly means "cannot"?
