Forms in Acrobat9 reader are not able to be saved

Anyone else run into this? I've created some rather complex forms with built in calculations (think catalogue sheets) and put some security settings for printing and filling out the forms on the pdf docs.
In Acrabat 8 and earlier versions you can work on the forms, then save them, then go back and work on them some more before you print.
With Acrobat Reader 9 you cannot save the forms. You even get a warning that you can't save the form data and you must print.
This does me no good because I need to get these completed forms back via e-mail. I've tried removing all security from the documents. I've tired everything I can think of.
I think this is a bug. At least I hope that it's a bug because this could kill all of my internet sales for this client's product.
Thanks.

It's not a bug. Reader normally cannot save a modified document, and filling form fields is modifying the document. But you can enable certain features in Reader if you give the document usage rights. There are a number of usage rights that enable features in Reader that are not normally available, such as saving, commenting, submitting outside of a browser, and others.
You can grant certain usage rights to a document using Acrobat Pro 8 or 9, but there are licensing restrictions that go along with doing so. In particular, if you distribute the document to more than 500 recipients, then you can extract information from a maximum of 500 returned forms (including hardcopies). There is no limit to the number of returned forms you can process if you distribute the document to 500 or fewer recipients.
To avoid these limitations, you can use Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions product to grant usage rights to your documents. This is a more expensive option and you'll have to negotiate directly with Adobe regarding pricing. A less costly alternative is to use the third-party service of FormRouter - http://www.formrouter.com/pdf/readerextensions.htm, who for a fee will enable individual documents for you.

  • End users are not able to save interactive pdf form created with designer

    I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have created a pdf form but my end users are not able to save edited form. Does this have something to do with whether the form is static or dynamic. If so, I am not exactly sure how to use the restorestate option to convert it back to static. I also tried to enable the "user rights access in adobe reader" under the advance menu and had no luck.
    My end users have acrobat reader 9 - do I need them to download anything else, maybe professional.

    Thanks Paul for your reponse
    In my Adobe Pro I don't see the option Reader Extend rather I enabled "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" amd I figured this was somewhat the same. So if I enabled this option in Adobe Pro already and they are still not able to edit the fillable text slots or save it what other option do I have in figuring this out.

  • Table control values are not able to read with out a user action.

    Hi All,
    I am working with a module pool programing and I am calling 3 sub screens into my main normal screen.
    In one of the sub screen, I have created a table control and getting the initial values from database and displaying.
    Now I try to change the couple of fields in my table control and with out user action (not pressing Enter after changing the values in table control).
    I try to save the edited/changed values in table control into the database. But I am not able to do so, since the change values are not able to pick.
    My requirement is end user will not do any action(press the enter key ) and he directly presses the save button which is defined in the main normal screen.
    Kindly suggest some solution.
    Thanks
    Geetha

    Hi Geetha,
                    in SAP Default While pressing save button the modified value will pick up because
    Save button will perform enter function also.

    We are using WebLogic Server 10.3 Default Authenticator as Authentication Provider.
    I found few change requests related to multi-byte from the link: http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/issues/known_resolved.html
    Am I missing some configuration? Has anyone else tried authenticate multibyte username?
    Thanks,
    Anuj

    Can you provide more information on the use case?
    1. Is this using Basic or Form authentication?
    2. If the user logs on from a web-based client, do you get the same failure with Internet Explorer as with other browsers?
    3. On which operating system is the WebLogic AdminServer running?
    With WebLogic Server 10.3, I am able to authenticate with multi-byte (French and Japanese) usernames. (My environment: form auth, Firefox 3.0.5, WLS runs on Linux RHEL 4.0.)

  • After upgraded 9.2 DB, all users are not able to login (Except Guest).

    After completed the DB upgrade from 8.1.7.4 to 9.2.0, all users are not able to login the oraclemypage.home. This is except the Guest account.For example, I use the sysadmin account to login the oraclemypage.home. It shows "Your login is invalid. Please login again."

    I had checked this previously. Part of this document already tried which suggested by Oracle Support.what is the end_date for all of these users in fnd_user table ? if all users for some reason is end_dated , then fnd_web_sec will show 'N"
    All users are normal. For those I tested without end_dated, I can access via f60cgi too.whats the session_cookie_domain set to in icx_parameters table? Set to NULL and try bouncing apache once.
    This set to ".mycompany.com". You mean that I set the session_cookie_domain to NULL and restart Apache, right? Why I need to set it NULL?

  • Color interface of the forms over the web are not confortable

    hello,
    the interface color of our application in the web are not realy confortable for our client comparing the old color used in our client/server application.
    we want to change it but we are not able the set a confortable color for our
    application :
    - if we use the lookandfell=generic but the color of toolbar are disable.
    - if we use the lookandfeel=oracle, the the choice of color for colorscheme is
    not variable (it exist only 5 choice).
    our environment ;
    OAS 10G (9041)
    FORMS 10G
    DATABASE 10G
    we use the forms Servlet (e.g. f60servlet/f90servlet) to invoke the Form over the Web.
    can you help us.
    thank's

    For as far as I can remember there is a difference between look-and-feel Oracle and Generic in displaying toolbar icon.
    Generic follows the Windows 9x/Internet Explorer approach of showing all toolbar icons as gray-tones and only showing color when you hover over them with the mouse. Oracle lookandfeel displays all toolbar-icons in color (as long as they are enabled).

    Hi Ashim Kumar Nath,
    Have you registered SCP when installing ADRMS? If you can't remember, you can check this running ADSI Edit, connect to the configuration container in verify if those nodes exist CN=Configuration [server name], CN=Services, CN=RightsManagementServices,
    CN=SCP. Right click on SCP and verify that serviceBindingInformation contains your https://rms.company.com/_wmcs/certification server name.

    I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
    It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
    I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
    and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
    They don't have answers and don't understand about  "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
    I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
    that was supposed to fix the problem.
    they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
    So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
    and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
    wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
    Great! what a convenient solution.
    I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
    Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
    Thank you very much and God Bless you!

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • [HP Expert Day] "You are not able to restore this system with the media"

    Welcome to HP Experts day! 
    I've got a long-standing problem since last year. Let's see if you can solve this! 
     I'll get straight to the point : 
    I am unable to perform recovery on my system. This is the error message : 
    It's a USB recovery media created with the HP recovery media utility on the same laptop. Tested to work correctly before I sent it for RMA on my SSD. It initially was running on a micron SSD. When I got it back, it was a samsung SSD instead, according to some benchmark results. 
    Laptop : HP Envy Spectre XT 13-2018TU
    P.S I've already opened another thread on this last year. 
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/Unable-to-boot-from-USB-recovery-media/m-p/2197929#M1... 
    But they were stumped. 

    I had this exact same issue on a Spectre XT Pro Ultrabook. 
    The original SSD failed and I was sent a replacement, was fortunate enough to be able to create a Recovery USB stick using the wizard in Windows. When booting from USB I received the message "You are not able to restore this system with the media".
    SOLUTION: You must NOT use the Recovery USB stick in any USB3.0 port (labelled SS). Using another USB port prevented this exact error message from appearing and I was able to complete the system restore process.
    I hope this helps someone, I signed up and posted here especially for this reason!

    OK.
    Please follow this step.
    1. As you said you are in coexistence step , so for now all endpoint already point to Exchange 2010 right?
    2. Check legacy owa redirect that you already configure
    3. In Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "Autodiscoverinternaluri" by this command set-clientaccessserver -identity "servername" -autodiscoverinternaluri
    https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. and don't forget to create autodiscover record in DNS
    4. in Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "EWS" path by this command set-webservicesvertualdirectory -identity "XXX\Default web site name" -internalurl
    https://yourinternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://yourexternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx
    5. don't forget to replicate freebusy from Exchange 2003 to Excahnge 2010 via public folder.
    You error look like client cannot get autodiscover process please check it again.

    But if the content is of size more than 4000 , we are not able to display it in text area.
    Any suggession / workaround for this .. please help.

  • Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane.  If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

    Users are not able to save pdfs after editing.  Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit.  When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use.  If they save as a different name, it works.  Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane.  They don't use the preview pane.  I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save.  But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

    Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
    Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
    I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
    I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
    use it without problems.
