Does saving a filled -PDF form using Ctrl+P work in Reader?

I am using Acrobat Pro XI version on my PC. I have created a form and saved it using Enable Reader Extensions. I have e-mailed it to a friend who uses Acrobat Reader on PC. She is able to fill the form but unable to save it. She tried saving it using Ctrl+P. Using this method, the changes to the document were saved on her PC. But when she sent back the document, I am unable to see the changes. Can you please help me ASAP. Why isn't save using Ctrl+P working??

The reason the version number is important is because prior to version XI a special right has to be applied to the file in Acrobat for it to be savable in Reader.
If you want the file to be compatible with the most versions then you should apply this right, via File - Save As Other - Reader-Extended PDF - Enable More Tools.

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

How do I get multiple people to sign a PDF form using a Touchscreen PC?

I have created a PDF form, using Acrobat XI Pro, to record a client training session. The form is being completed using Adobe Reader (on a Panasonic Touchbook running Windows 7), so I have extended it to allow saving and signing. On the form I have a digital signature field for each trainee (next to a text field for their name) and a digital signature field for the trainer.
Creating a proper digital signature, signable using a password, is fine for the trainer, but the trainees will only be seen once. Often/usually they do not have email addresses so emailing for a signature, using EchoSign/DocuSign is out, but I have a touch-screen computer so should just be able to pass it round for a quick signature. Also, the form will be completed offline, with the trainer turning up on a site, not having access to the internet.
Clicking on the signature field does not provide a way to create the handwritten signature, and although the sign tab shows EchoSign in Adobe reader, allowing you to create such a signature this is shown as disabled (I imagine because I have extended the form).
This is the last piece to the puzzle. Any ideas?
Thank,
Len
p.s. I did see a version using a flash object on ADEP 10, http://forums.adobe.com/message/3998457#3998457 but this seems a little hacky, plus I would prefer to use acrobat Pro because it does everything else I want it to do.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

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.

Exporting or saving the filled-out form to a specified location.

Hi,
I have created a pdf form using Acrobat X Standard. Currently, the way I have designed it is- the filled out form is attached to the email when the user clicks submit button. I am using some java code that I found through this forum. I do not know much about java.
I want to change this. In addition to emailing the completed form, I would like the form to automatically get saved to a pre-defined location when the user cliks submit button. Is there anyway I can do that. The problem I see in this is the file name. How would that be handled?
May be I am asking something impossible. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks,
s.p

The basic method you'd use is the doc.saveAs method: page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
Here is a good tutorial on how to use it: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
It doesn't mention though that it can be used in a certified document, in which case the trusted function stuff isn't necessary.

How can recipients submit completed PDF forms using a MAC?

We have created fillable PDF forms using LiveCycle Designer 8.0. They include
submit buttons that are set to submit the completed forms as PDFs. Rights have been extended for Adobe Reader users. They work great when the recipient is using a PC, but when they are using a MAC we have a number of problems:
1) the Print and Submit buttons do not work
2) when the recipient saves and e-mails the file manually, the data they entered is only visible when you click on that field
Help! How can our MAC recipients submit their completed form as a PDF that displays all of the data!
Thanks!

Thanks Niall. This information proved really helpful in confirming the problem. We ran some tests and the problem does seem to only occur when MAC recipients are using Preview.
We recieved this link from Adobe, which provides a solution if you have access to all the recipients:

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

Sending Filled PDF Form ONLINE without promting outlook/windowsmail etc

This question has been placed serveral times. But no one seemed to have THE anwers/script for it.
now we all know that a filled pdf form, can be send as an attachment when you click on the submit button. It prompts, your computer mail software and place the e-mail adress and subject on the right place with the filed pdf file attached. That's cool.
And also we know you can save the pdf form on your local disk. Login in your gmail, hotmail or yahoo and attach the saved pdf form file and send it there.
But what I want is something more simpler. The above mention is tricky when someone dont have mail client. I just want the complete filled pdf form, send online (through mailserver?). just the send button. without prompting outlook/windowsmail. Just the submit and send the whole damn thing to the right address.
So what's the script to do so?

I have the same question, did you have any luck finding an answer/script ? It seems like this process its much more complicated than it should be.

How to set a pop up calendar control in pdf form using javascript?

I'd like to add a pop up calendar control in a PDF form using Adobe Javascript.
The user should be able to select a date from the calendar control.
Awaiting a solution at the earliest.

Let's say I did provide you with a solution... Wouldn't that be a "third-party solution" as well?
These tools are not compiled, you know. You have direct access to their source-code and can make sure they don't do anything else beside what they're supposed to do.
