Form Server 5.X - save unsecure pdf

It's possible to get a unsecure document when using form server 5?
Where can i configure it?
Thanks in advanced.

You will need to upgrade. Form Server 5 is not compatible with Designer 6 or 7 form templates.

In Forms Central/View Responses/Save as PDF, is it possible to exclude some form fields?

in Forms Central/View Responses/Save as PDF, is it possible to exclude some form fields from the saved file?

Hi,
I would like to inform you that with forms central, you can convert the selected fields to PDF.
However, your selection should be sequential. Example- You can convert column 1,2,3,4 and not select column 5; but it is not possible to select only column 2 and 3.

Why am I unable to save unsecured PDFs

I have Acrobat 9 on a new Vista PC. All of a sudden I am having difficulty saving downloaded PDF documents, even tho they are not secured (i.e. Properties/Security shows everything Allowed including copying). Am even in email correspondence with one of the PDF's publishers who can't reproduce my problem - i.e. he also thinks that I should be able to save a download of his PDF document !
Neither clicking the save icon in the Acrobat toolbar nor picking File/Save As in the Explorer toolbar brings up the usual save dialogue box.
The strange thing is that the difficulty seems to arise on only some sites/downloads, not all.
Does anyone have any technical insights into this issue? Anything to do with Vista security or McAfee, perhaps?
With thanks for any assistance!!

Hi David,
The suggestion you made did the trick. Can download web pdfs again.
Looking forward to more solutions.

Hi Louis,

I found a decent guy at Adobe who is looking into the matter for me, in
case there are other lurking issues. Meanwhile he suggested an Adobe Acrobat
9.1 workaround that does seem to solve the problem in the short term. Try it
- if it's available in Reader - and good luck!

I'm sorry to hear you are still having problems with Acrobat. I am going to

In the mean time, in Acrobat, you would probably benefit from not
displaying the PDF in browser:
menu Edit > Preferences : Internet : uncheck "Display PDF in browser" This
should in theory allow you to save the PDF using Acrobat's own menus.

Another option is to right click a link that points to a PDF and use Save

Save & Send PDF Form

Hi all,
I'm trying to program a function in my PDF form that will automaticly save the PDF form in a folder and then sends the (just saved) PDF form attached in an e-mail.
I've got the mail function working with my submit button. The only question is how can i get my PDF form to first save and then send the form?
I've treid several saving scripts but couldn't get it working.
Could you guys help me out?
Kind Regards,
Vincent
Below my code:
// Set up the recipients,subject, body, etc.
var sTo = this.getField("Unit").value;
var sBCC = "[email protected]";
var sSubject = "Nice subject";
var sBody = "Bla bla bla";
// Set the error messge to display if it doesn't work, \r = carriage return
var sErrorMsg = "Could not send email. Please make sure your email client is set up correctly.\r\r";
sErrorMsg += "Otherwise, save this file and manually attach it to an email to: " + sTo +" [email protected]";
// Email the entire document
try {
    mailDoc({
    bUI: true,
    cTo: sTo,
    cBcc: sBCC,
    cSubject: sSubject,
    cMsg: sBody
} catch(e) {
    app.alert(sErrorMsg, 1);

To save with a script, you'll have to use the doc.saveAs method. There are a number of security related issues you'll have to deal with, as discussed here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

Requiring me to be a subscriber to Save as PDF?

We purchased the Adobe Forms Central software around a year ago. I was able to create forms and also save them as PDFs, print them, et cetera. A couple weeks ago I created a new form and it would not let me Save as PDF. I opened the program again today and it wiped out all my created forms. Disappointed but too busy to dwell on it, I created a new form and tried to Save as PDF. I receive a message window that says I must be a paid subscriber to Save as PDF. Since when? I've been doing this ever since we purchased the program and now it's demanding I be a paid subscriber? It won't let me save, print, or anything but create. Then it says to do anything more, I must pay. ????

You bought Adobe FormsCentral a year ago? Is it possible that your need to renew your subscription? Maybe your credit card changed and the auto-renewal didn't go through. You can only save as PDF with a Paid account. In FormsCentral you can access "My Subscription" (under the profile button in the top right corner). This will bring you here : https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html. Can you see FormsCentral there?
You can also create PDF for free if you have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which comes with FormsCentral For Acrobat. Just want to make sure that you mean that you bought "FormsCentral" and not "Acrobat Pro XI".

PB 12.5.1 Web Forms save as PDF

I'm having trouble creating PDF files in a Web Forms app deployed to a new server. I've done this successfully a few times using apparently identical configurations, so I'm not sure what's going on. Facts about the situation:
1. PB Classic 12.5.1 Web Forms target
2. IIS 7.5 on a remote Windows Server 2008 R2 server
3. Ghostscript 8.71
4. To determine whether Ghostscript was the problem, I installed a Win32 version of the PB app on the IIS server computer and tested. SaveAs() works as expected in the Win32 target.
5. To determine whether file system permissions were a problem, I used the Web Forms app to SaveAs() a text document and performed the DownloadFile(). The file downloads as expected.
6. It is the SaveAs() function call that is failing. The line
dw_report.SaveAs(<filename>, PDF!, FALSE)
returns -1
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Ronnie,
Here is some code that I use in a webform application to create a PDF file and send it as an attachment. Remember that you have to do MapVirtualPath so you can find the file after you do dw_1.saveas...
Also, when I had trouble it was because I named my printer 'Sybase Datawindow' instead of 'Sybase Datawindow PS'.
Chris Pollach recently posted some great step by step installation procedures for 32 and 64 bit machines.
Best,
Paul

Fill a PDF form and then save the pdf

Hi,
We are implementing an web application that will collection data on a form and the would like to populate a fillable PDF form. I saw the sample code using Acrobat IAC to open a form and then populate the form fields. However, with that example, I am not able to save the pdf file. Can someone direct me how to make that happened?
Thanks,
Lei

In that case, I'm afraid that the Acrobat SDK is a non-starter,
because Acrobat isn't for server use. You might like to check out
Adobe's extensive range of LiveCycle server products.

Using javascript to save a pdf to a different directory and generating a new filename based on form fields in the document.

I have built the following script in an attempt to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use the form field data "customer" and "date" to generate the filename. I printed out the variable myPath and it looks like it printed the correct string. I keep getting the following error:
TypeError: redeclaration of const path
any help would be much appreciated.
var customer = this.getField("Customer").value;
var date = this.getField("Date").value;
var path = "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/"
var reg = date.match(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/);
var myPath= "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/" + customer + "_" + reg[1] + "." + reg[2] + "." +
reg[3] + ".pdf";
this.saveAs(myPath);

"path" is a keyword within a PDF you should not use keywords as a name for any other object as a general rule.
Have you checked the PDF Reference to see how to create a file path name within a PDF, 3.10.1 File Specification Strings page 118?
Did you carefully read the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for the saveAs method?
The notes following the description:
Note: This method can only be executed during a batch or console event. See Privileged versus non-privileged context for details. The event object contains a discussion of JavaScript events.
(Adobe Reader S): This method is available in Adobe Reader for documents that have Save usage rights.

Error message when trying to save as PDF or to export form

I used Form Central and chose a template, and changed a few things. Now I couldn't save the document or export it, though I followed the other response to download and install the latest flash player (but the same Error message is there again when I tried saving again). Also, I couldn't share the form through emails, where's the sharing button?

OK – that helps a lot (knowing it is the desktop application with Acrobat XI).
A few questions:
Have you launched Acrobat XI and accepted the EULA etc? I assume your trial period is still valid?
Can you go to the “Help” menu and select “About FormsCentral” and tell me the “Build” number at the bottom?
Using the Acrobat XI FormsCentral Desktop application you can save forms as PDF with a paid or free account, so there is some other reason you are not able to save as PDF… I will try to figure out what is going on there…
The reason you don’t see the “Share” button (or menu item) is that you are working in a “local” form (I am assuming), a form stored locally in the desktop application that is available whether you have internet connection or not. In a Free account you can only have one form “online” but you can have unlimited “local” forms, so after you have one form online the rest are created locally in the application. In order to share the form (and many other options in the forms) you need to “move” the form online (but would need to delete any other online forms you have).
For more information about the desktop application there is an FAQ here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/formscentral/using/WSfbd8801cd9e3b90466dec8cf13a00789d8f-8000. html
The FAQ does not have screenshots, but if you are looking at the “My Forms” tab (if you have a form open and close it you see the “My Forms” dashboard), local forms have a little computer icon next to them (left column) and online forms show a cloud icon. Read the “Move forms online” section of the FAQ for more information about the differences between the local and online forms.
Thanks,
Josh

How do you Save a pdf form automatically to a designated folder using designated fields in the form?

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a “service excellence feedback” form. The idea of this form is to have a blank form living in our company’s intranet page to be used by multiple departments that receive feedback and then have a chain of updated investigations and follow up to be documented within the same file.
The top portion is to be filled out by the department receiving the feedback. It collects all the pertinent data needed including the person giving the feedback’s First and Last name. Once the top portion of the form is filled out I want to have a “submit” button that will do;
1. Save the pdf automatically to a designated folder AND automatically save it under the last and first name that is entered in the form. So the form will be saved in the designated folder under “Smith, John.pdf”. I have already figured out how to format the button to “save as” however I would like to eliminate the person filling the form out to have ANY responsibility to naming and saving the file to the correct folder.
2. After it is saved I want it emailed to a specific email address (which I have figured out.)
Once the steps above are completed and it is emailed an investigation will be performed by me and I will document my findings and then send it by another “submit” button which will save the document (writing over the previously saved version with this new version) and then emailed on to the next person to provide the next step of follow up. When the next person in line finishes they will hit another “submit” button that will again save the new version and send it back to me. We continue this back and forth with a few more follow-ups performing the same save and send options.
I need help in how to write a script/java to perform this task of saving. I have already figured out how to program the button to email the form. Help please!!! I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
How do I do this.
Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
thanks in advance for your help.
Amy

I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
or
File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible. I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
Thanks,
Chani

Thanks everyone for responding. I should have supplied more information.
I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro. These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data. However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered. Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact. Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions. However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly? How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing? I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
Thanks for all of your responses!
