Hi Kuldip,
if you're trying to hide the Save Button in the Adobe toolbar, then you can place the following code in the wdDoModifyView method to hide the whole toolbar.
// Get interactibe form handler.
        IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormHandler iFormHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler(wdThis.wdGetAPI(), "<name of your form>");
//     Get appearance setter.
      IWDPDFDocumentAppearance appearance = iFormHandler.getDocumentContext().getAppearance();
     // Hide menu bar.
     appearance.hideMenuBar(true);
     // Hide tool bars.
     appearance.hideToolBars(true);
hope this helps,

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

How to Disable Save Button in interactive form via sfp

Dear,experts
My requirement is that Disable Save Button in interactive form via sfp .Is there any options to do this or write Javascript/Formcalc.Please help!
Thanks
Vince.

I found a adobe documentation that says that If you want to disable some toolbar buttons, you will have to use application-level Javascript. Looks like it is not possible from ADLC
Place the following Javascript code inside a .js file in
%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\JavaScripts to disable the toolbar buttons:
// [File - Create Adobe PDF Using Acrobat.com], plus toolbar button
app.hideMenuItem("WebServices:CreatePDF");
app.hideToolbarButton("Weblink:CreatePDF");
// [File - Collaborate], plus toolbar button
app.hideMenuItem("Annots:FileCollaboration");
app.hideToolbarButton("Annots:CollabToolButton");
app.hideToolbarButton("CommentTask");
app.hideToolbarButton("SigTaskButton");
app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
app.hideToolbarButton("Save");

When clicking the Signature box in an interactive PDF form IE crashes.

When we click on the Signature box in an interactive PDF form loaded inside Internet Explorer, it will crash the browser with a message "Internet Explorer has stopped working."
We have tried:
-this on PDF forms created with Adobe Acrobat Professional X and XI
-loaded the forms on Windows 7 IE 8 and IE 9
-Adobe Reader X and XI
-loaded IE in no add-ons mode
and the issue still persists. We believe there is an issue with how Internet Explorer and Adobe are communicating but don't understand why clicking inside the Signature box, IE crashes? Any thoughts? Is this related to some kind of Windows update that is impacting the ability to sign PDFs when loaded inside IE browser?

I will not be able to upload any forms as it is propietary information, but here are the steps taken to create the form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X or XI:
Open the PDF in Adobe Pro and click Tools.
In the Forms menu, click Edit.
Click Add New Field > Text Field.
Place the field on the document and edit the field name with the text [MAGICWORD]. This is a magic word that allows the signed form to be saved in the right location.
Click the All Properties link.
Change the Form Field from Visible to Hidden but Printable under Common Properties.
To add other visible magic word fields (optional), click Add New Field > Text Field.
Click Add New Field > Digital Signature.
Click Add New Field > Button.
Click the All Properties link.
Click the Actions tab.
Under Add an Action:
Select Trigger – Select Mouse Down.
Select Action – Select Submit a form.
Click Add.
Enter the URL:(https://anythingcangohere.com)
This enables the signed form to be submitted and saved in the right location.
Under Export Format, select PDF The complete document.
Click OK.
To add a label to the button, click the Options tab.
Label: – Enter Submit to athenaNet or Submit.
Click Close.

I tried to submit an interactive PDF form, but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the

I tried to submit an interactive PDF form, but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the form. My form is created in InDesign cs6 and exported to interactive PDF with text fields. any one has some tips to deal wiith this?

Did you get this resolved? I am doing the same thing, passing in a url to the submitForm method via cURL. I am submitting as FDF, and specifying the #FDF at end of URL.
Currently working against a localhost url, which is allowed and trusted in acrobat to rule out the enhanced security of the reader.
Any ideas?

Interactive PDF forms linked in the article to appear in the folio

Can I make an interactive PDF form that can be used in the folio via linking or some other way. I need this book to have a review area with question that can be answered. and since you can create nifty forms in InDesign now, I was wondering if this new form feature can be used in a book you create with the Folio building options.
I have linked a PDF but text imput was not present in the app

Yeah, that is what I suspected as well. My question is, how force all fields to use the "private version", rather than embedding so I can correct these large files?
I managed to come across another thread on the forum that you commented on a while back. You suggested running a script, which I attempted (and resulted in error)
The thread: Set default font type and size in formcreated using Acrobat X Pro
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
    var f = getField(fName);
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Arial;
        // Other properties go here
InvalidSetError: Set not possible, invalid or unknown.
Field.textFont:7:Console undefined:Exec
I feel like I'm getting closer to resolving this.. I'm glad I at least understand the issue now. It's been puzzling me for a month.

Interactive PDF forms

Hi,
In Our project we are creating an Interactive PDF form. This form shows some data that we get from the bapi.While creating the form there is no issue.
We are also saving the generated PDF's at some location in the server. Through a different application we are accessing these old stored pdf's. Now when we save the PDF to our local machine and try to open it we get a message saying:
>"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document".
With this message all the javascript written on the PDF form get disabled and due to this few of the data are not getting displayed.
What can be the reason for this? Does it has something to do with ADS configuration on the server?
Please reply.
Thanks & regards,
Sujit

Hi, Sujit!
To me it seems that the document somehow gets modified while you process. Try to save your file on the local machine under a new name, enable and save again.

Thomas

Interactive PDF Form Speed Issues

Hello! I am looking for some info for an interactive PDF form issue.
A little info on the form:
Created in Acrobat PRO 9.4.5, Windows.
File Size: 559KB
Ultimately the file is placed up on a website, it is 3 pages with a colored background on each page and a lineart logo. It has text fields for things like name, phone etc., has some radio buttons, drop-downs, two links to other pages within the site and two links to other PDF docs. It does not have a flowable layout and is only being populated by the end user. The form has buttons on the bottom to email, print, save & clear the form.
The form tested fine from our file servers and/or local machines, the client had no issues testing when we sent them the files. We start to get into issues once the file was posted on their site and the results from testing vary significantly as I would suspect can be somewhat expected due to machine, browser, Acrobat and/or Reader variances etc. but maybe there is something we can do to improve how it functions(?)
Some end-users have come back saying that the form takes a while until they can enter text in any of the fields following their first click in one of the form fields to begin using the form. Also commented on was that the PDF pages scroll slowly as they move further down the page. We do not have any details about any browser versions, settings etc. and also did not receive this feedback directly.
Internal testing we have found some of the following accessing the form from their site (the site is a DNN site using a file handling module),
I am going to try and limit the info below as it could get very lengthy w/ all the various outcomes:
I did not have any issues on first click or scrolling in either IE8 or Firefox4, I do however have some slowness when I click the links that go to other pages on their site and also the links to the other PDF documents (I can only get this to occur when I am accessing the form through the link on their site it does not occur when I test any other way either locally from my desktop, our file server or even when I right click the file that resides on the web server and open w/ either of my browsers).
A co-worker tested every which way and could not get any slowness at all any way that she tried. Another tested and found IE on their machine to have the hangups but not Firefox. And a third had the initial click slowness (but also said he had that when he saved the file from the site to his desktop and opened it), please note browser & Reader/Acrobat versions probably vary from each person testing.
What I am feeling is that the form itself is ok just that the user variances can produce different outcomes but I just want to check and see if anyone else has had anything similar or has any suggestions to maybe "speed" the form up covering a variety of users.
Thanks very much!
Robin

When you fix it in Acrobat, what you want to do specifically is remove whatever action is present in the button and add a "Submit a form" action to the Mouse Up event. Specify that you want to submit the entire PDF and use the mailto URL you showed earlier, making sure there are no spaces.
For it to work in desktop versions of Reader prior to 11, you need to Reader-enabled the document by selecting: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
The button won't work with the native iOS PDF viewer, but certain other PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader and Readdle's PDF Expert allow you to email a filled-in form and will support the button action.

Edit a secure interactive PDF form without regenerating form?

I have a client who needs for me to make a minor change to a password-secured interactive PDF form we've created for her. I have the password, of course, but Adobe Acrobate won't let me know enter the password without first saving the form as a copy. This, however, strips all of the interactivity from the form. I don't want to have to redo all of the fields just to make this minor change, and I imagine I'm just missing the obvious method of entering the password.
So, how to I disable the password without wiping out the interactive fields so I can make the change then save the form again with security and interactive form fields intact?

Thanks, Luke. They do. But then when I go to add the password security back to the document, I'm told:
You cannot change security on this document because the document enables extended features in Adobe Reader. You can save a copy without extended Reader features using File -> Save A Copy.
This, of course, takes me back to square one. I need to make the change but keep the same password protection (disabling the ability to edit the file) intact.

Error with buttons in an interactive PDF with "go to URL" action applied

Hello, I am having an issue with buttons in an interactive PDF, specifically buttons that have a “go to URL” action applied to them. Most of the buttons in the document work fine and link out correctly however, some of the linked buttons InDesign is adding spaces to the end of the url, which the browser interprets as “%20” and breaks the link i.e. (http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf%20). The added space effects multiple buttons in my document seemingly randomly, potential Bug? When the added space is deleted from the URL via the Button and Forms Panel’s URL field it is re-added by InDesign upon deselecting the button. Obviously the links can be updated in acrobat after export, but this is tedious and time consuming. Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated. Thanks!

But I have InDesign documents with sometimes 60-100 buttons in them. Previously I had to do nothing other save out of InDesign as an interactive PDF - perfect, with no editing in Acrobat at all apart from for a couple of document javascripts. It also applies to any interactive element. Buttons that are used for “show/hide” with others to create reveals and builds etc. Buttons that link to other pages within the document.
InDesign allows master page interactive buttons… make once use many times, Acrobat allows individual and painstaking editing of however many pages and buttons there are in the document, sometimes hundreds.
The solution is, until Adobe do a decent job of DC to revert to Pro XI and pretend its never happened.
