Fillable PDF cannot be saved

Hi there.  I'm using LiveCycel designer ES to create several fillable pdfs and save the fillable pdfs as static forms.  I use acrobat X pro to enable reader extension in order for the users to type in data and save the form, however, the fillable pdf just cannot save the inputted data except the data inputted in the first field.  What did I miss?
Thanks

Hi Pguerett,
Thanks for your reply.  It's exactly what you think. The fields are, except the first field, all set to be no data binding.  I reset them to the field names and they are new can be saved.  Thanks a lot.  By the way, I want to have one of the titles to be deleted by the user.  I tried to use checkboxed (set to cross) to do the same but the highlight colour makes them "clouded" and the visual effect is not good.  Any better ideas?

  • How to allow a fillable PDF to be saved

    I have a user that created a fillable PDF file. Now we want to send that out ot staff and allow them to fill it out and save a copy. How do we enable this feature? It currently only allows to print a filled out form or to save a blank copy.
    Thanks,
    Justin

    In that case it's under Advanced>Extend features in Adobe Reader.
    One thing to keep in mind that there is a limit of 500 uses for these forms. If they are using them internally and have less than 500 employees, they should be in the clear. You can send the form to 500 or less people and they can submit them an indefinite amount of times OR, you can send them to an indefinite amount of people but only collect the data from the form up to 500 times.

  • Word from pdf cannot be saved

    Why I cannot save a word doc converted from pdf?

    Are you trying to open the online document, or are you downloading it to your local disk first.  What is the exact message you get?

  • Saving a fillable PDF so that others cannot edit it

    Hi,
    I'm relatively new to using Adobe Acrobat pro, However i recently made a fillable PDF that i need to be able to fill out, then send to clients who can view it, print it but not edit it. Please can anyone advise me how to save the PDF once it has been filled in so others can see the information, but not change anything.
    I use Mac if this makes a difference.
    Many Thanks
    Tom

    In Acrobat X, first use Save A Copy on the file menu to remove the Reader extensions*, then you can flatten the form using a script or extension (e.g. I've got a free one here) - alternatively you run Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information and tick only the form fields box.
    *You will need to manually open the copy you saved, it doesn't automatically update in Acrobat.
    If you're not bothered about accessibility, you can also print the PDF back to PDF - a process we call refrying - which will flatten everything and remove scripts, metadata, calculations and hidden content (but in the process removes all your tags and structure).

  • Why do some people get "you cannot save data typed into this form" using FormsCentral fillable PDF?

    Hello.  We're using FormsCentral extensively.  We create the fillable PDF and send it to about 80 people.  Each of them is adding content and saving and then passing on to another person for further content.  Ultimately, all parties are happy with the content and submit.  The problem is that some of the people open the PDF and get the message ""you cannot save data typed into this form".  What is causing this?  Please help as it is causing us many problems.

    Thanks for the quick response.  We distribute the form to 80 people who fill it out and create 80 versions.  They then pass the form to one other person who edits.  All 80 forms, once complete, are submitted to FormsCentral.
    I think the problem is with Mac users.  Is there anything unusual about the Mac with Adobe Reader?  If you provide your email address, I can send you one of the filled out forms that is having this issue.  It's quite odd in that the fillable fields don't show up until clicked on and the form is not saveable.
    Thanks!

  • Saving to non-fillable PDF

    Instead of saving as a fillable pdf, I want to save my form as a static pdf for printing and/or including in white papers as an example. I'd like it to look the same as when I'm creating it in FormCentral with help text symbols, etc. Is there a way to do this, perhaps through the paid version? I have tried to take screenshots of my FormCentral design, but the resolution just isn't good enough.

    We do not support exporting into a flat PDF but you can export to a PDF file without a submit button (see under the File menu). We never show (?) in the PDF. The help text is shown when you hover over the field with the mouse.

    I have a Win7Pro SP1 PC locked down with a Group Policy as it is a public facing PC. PDF fillable forms cannot be completed when logged on as the restricted user. The forms work as a normal user. What are the user requirements/permissions needed to fill forms?

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

  • Saving to fillable pdf

    I have created a form in forms central but cannot save to a fillable pdf. when i click on save as pdf form a very quick satus bar pops up and disappears   i cannot find where the file is saved

    Hi;
    Are you using FormsCentral in a web browser or from the Desktop application that is included with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?
    If you are using a web browser please try another browser or refresh the browser page and see what happens.  In a web browser you should get a "Download" dialog with a save button that brings up a FIle Save As dialog allowing you to choose the name and location for the PDF...
    If you are using the Desktop application with Acrobat, Acrobat creates the PDF so if you have a dialog open in Acrobat that would "block" any new actions so make sure you close any open dialogs in Acrobat and try it again.  Acrobat will create a PDF and then prompt you to save the file.
    Let me know which you are using and how it goes.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Saving a fillable pdf

    I want to create a fillable pdf.  I need to be able to email the blank form to users.  I need to be able to print the completed form w/out losing data.  Would like to be able to email the completed form also, w/out losing data.  I don' t need the form data in an xml file.  Help!  What software do I need?

    You can use Acrobat to create the form. If you want pre-11 Reader users to be able to save and email a filled-in form, then the document needs to be Reader-enabled, which you can do with Acrobat. Reader 11 allows a non-enabled form to be saved, so there's no need to Reader-enable for those users unless you also need digital signatures.

    Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

    Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
    When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
    So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
    Unless you know something else I can do...
    Best, Marilyn

  • Hi! Trying to save my document as a pdf, get the message that "this pdf is already open somewhere and cannot be saved". Whats wrong??

    Hi! When trying to save my document as a pdf, I get the message that "this pdf is already open somewhere and cannot be saved". I have not yet succeeded in saving it, and I've closed all preview windows of it, so it simply can't be open anywhere. Whats wrong??

    Correction on Question:
    This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
    Users began getting the error message:
    'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
    last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject. 
    We really need help getting this resolved.

  • Cannot print to PDF file after saving it to JPEG

    I get the following error when I try to print to a .pdf file that I just saved to a .jpeg.
    "Adobe PDF" cannot access the file because it is in use by another applicaiton or process:
    C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\junk.pdf
    Verify that the file is not open by another application or process and try again.
    I am using Acrobat X Pro on x64 Win 7.
    Here are the steps I take to produce this error:
    1.  Print any file to the "Adobe PDF" printer
    2.  Save that .pdf file as a .jpeg
    3.  Close JUST that particular .pdf file while leaving Acrobat X up (clicking the small black x on the top right).
    4.  Try to print any other file to "Adobe PDF" with the same name as the .pdf file I just closed.
    I do not get the error if I do not save to .jpeg, or when I close Acrobat X completely, but the user who is complaining about this error keeps multiple .pdf files open and doesn't want to have to close Acrobat X out completely every time.
    Any ideas? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Pat.  Tried each, restarted computer each time; tried the "Accept" routine several days ago - it worked briefly and then stopped.  Uninstalled Reader and Flash as well.  Strange thing with Flash, one of my online broker programs provides streaming of CNBC.  When I clicked on the CNBC option to initiate CNBC, I got a message saying that I needed to load Flash.  I did, and it loaded again with no mention of Flash having already been installed.
    Using Internet Explorer works, as well as, clicking on the .pdf file within Windows Explorer (WE).  Expanding the window in WE makes it large enough to read.  I would still like to find a way to open the files as they are designed to open.
    I have done all of the Adobe updates as they have been presented.  Microsoft updates load automatically, and restart my computer in the process.  I do not look to see what the updates have been.  I figure if there was not a need, Microsoft would not make the updates.

  • Cannot sign fillable pdf

    I've scoured the forums and the web looking for help with this - hopefully someone can assist.  A colleague created a fillable PDF with Acrobat X Pro (trial version).  It has a number of fields and a signature box, but when I try and fill it in with Reader 10.1.2 it won't let me sign or save info.
    Thing is, when I look at the security settings under document properties on the machine it was created on, all the options are listed as "allowed."  However when I do likelwise on my computer with Adobe Reader,  it tells me Document Assembly, Commenting, Signning, and Creation of template pages are NOT allowed.  We've tried looking at it on a few different computers (I don't know what versions or apps were used) but on two of my computers, both with the same version of Reader it tells me I can't sign it.  If I click on the signature box nothing happens.  If I click on the "Sign" option at the top right, it tells me the security settings prevetn adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader.
    Can anyone tell me why it might be signable/savable on some machines but not on others?  Many thanks!
    I am running Windows 7 Professional v 6.1

    The document needs to be Reader-enabled. This allows Reader to do certain things it normally is not able to do, such as saving a filled-in form and signing a digital signature field. To do this in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

  • Saving & Renaming a Fillable PDF

    Is there a way to save and rename a fillable PDF form on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 using Android version 4.0.4  I creadted a fillable form from Adobe Pro XI for my techs to use while servicing a A/C system.
    Jim

    Hi,
    When you open the form pdf in your galaxy tab, first rename the document by following the steps below:
    In documents tab ->Press Manage on top right->Choose the file you want to rename->Click on rename icon, 3rd from top left->Type the new name-> Press Done.
    Now open this file->fill the form->Go back to documents-> Open the pdf again. You will see all your changes in your form.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Saving form as fillable pdf

    actually have two questions, first can I save my form as a fillable pdf to email others and second how do I arrange my form to have more than one field on a single line?  For instance I am creating a credit application
    and want to be able to say put the phone number field alongside the business name and so forth...thanks !!

    We just added the ability to distribute your form as a fillable PDF form and have all of the data submitted back to FormsCentral. I wrote up a forum post that explains it in more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/994199
    Give it a try and please send us your feedback on it.
