Forms Not Saving

I have been filling out and saving a form that I have downloaded offline. For several months I have been downloading, editing and saving to this form. Recently I have been opening up the form, and I have been getting the purple bar at the top of the screen that reads "You cannot save data typed in this form." and it explains that I can edit and print but not save. I've opened old forms that I have saved, and although they have changes saved from past months, I can't make any changes now so I know that it isn't because the form has changed from the source. I tried installing a new version of Adobe Reader, and toying with the settings, and making sure that I am signed in, but I can't seem to fix this issue. I haven't found the solution on these forums either.

Additional info: It seems to only occur when changes have been made to fields which allow for multiple lines of text to be input.

Adobe LiveCycle Form Not Saving Data

I have designed dozens of Adobe LiveCycle forms and have extended rights (enable usage rights in adobe reader). My problem is that sometimes the form is not saving the data for end users. One of my end users even updated Adobe Reader, but still nothing is working and he is becoming increasingly frustrated. Any other suggestions.

Make sure all your fields have a binding set even if it is just their name.
For instance, click on a field that isn't saving, in the Object palette, under the Binding tab make sure the Data Binding is set to Use Name.
Hope that helps.

Adobe form not saving user-input data into saved pdf file

Hi forumers,
I'm a new abap developer and I'm tasked to create an interactive adobe form that will require the user to input data in the form.
No data is passed and received from PDF, but PDF has to be u2018Fillableu2019. I am able to fill out the form but when I actually save the form, it will be saved as a blank form again. I've seen the relevance of the LS_DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = 'X' on this forum and I have incorporated it in my code. But how should I code the abap program to enable to save the user input as well into the form.

Not quite yet, I have to say...
If you check the domain "FPINTERACTIVE", you'll see these values:
               Print Form
X     Interactive Form with Additional Usage Rights
N     Interactive Form Without Additional Usage Rights
F
So, you are not providing "additional usage rights" (Adobe Form Credentials), meaning there could be a problem when you want to use those forms in a Production environment.

Form Not saving with all information, Please Help!

I received a form that I need to fill out and save, apparently it was created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0, Acrobat Pro says that it is an XML form.
Adobe Reader says that it cannot save the form which is fine because I have Adobe Acrobat Pro.
However when I fill out the form in Acrobat Pro and save as it only saves the first line of data, all the rest of the data disappears.
I have tried extending the features of the form so that it can be saved from adobe reader. I can now save the form in adobe reader but I still only saves the first line of information.
The form has some calculations in it, it adds up the number of items and gives you a total. It also works out a total cost based on the price you input.
I dont know if that makes and difference. Im going insane, does anyone know why its only saving the first line of data?
Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Kirsten
I forgot to add that I work on a mac

Hi Kirsten,
I have the form now and here it is back: https://acrobat.com/#d=wIDUGtoBqeVCOauJ8m*Z2g
Its not 100% fixed because there are a few things going on. First there is part of a data connection in the form, where objects in the first row are bound to the data connection, but it does not appear to exist. Can you confirm if you are using a data connection to interact with a database?
All of the objects were on the Master page and there wasn't a design page at all. I have moved the table to a design page.
I have set the 'preserve script changes' to auto. I have not changed the binding, as I am not sure what your data requirements are. Also there is script that appears to be an open error that I think is part of the legacy data connection.
If you can give a bit more information we should be able to get the form working fully.

Dynamic forms not saved properly

Hi ,
I have a dynamic forms created using Adobe 8 LC.
After the form is generated thorugh application when I try to save the dynamic pdf using save button in Pdf toolbar, there are null values or extra rows of data being added to the dynamic pdf. The javascript calculations are not being displayed for eg totals .
I am unable to figure what is causing this extra rows to be added in the pdf. When I give a print option to PDF, the dynamic document is printed correctly without any extra rows.
Please help..

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the tip Gunter...I tried it and it didn't work.
When I insert, I get redirected to a "page not found", but the record gets inserted into the database.
I'm wondering if it is my Managed Site. I keep fumbling around until I get my site working. Currently I have my Local Info, which is my local folder and local IIS HTTP address. I have my Remote Info which is Local/Network Access and my Remote Folder on the LAN. I'm getting confussed with what my Testing Server should be. I have set my Server Model of PHP MySql and Access of Local/Network and the Tesing Server Folder as the same location as my Local Folder. My URL prefix is the same asa my local IIS HTTP address. Does all this look right?
The PHP version is 5.1.6

Hi Satya & sanjyoti,
I am facing a pecular problem in using Adobe forms.
I am able to pass data from webdynpo application, to the Interactive form(using mappings, as mentioned by satya).
But for the same form & WD application, i am not able to pass data from the Interactive Form, back to the WD application.
My scenario is like this:
I need to show a form, with some prefilled data, such as date, userID, etc. I populate the node in my WD application, & then call the form.
The form displays the above prefilled data. Now the user has to fill the remaining fields & click on submit(Submit-to-sap button). The onsubmit property of the Interactive form is mapped to a onaction event, where WD tries to read the data entered by the user.
The problem is that on clicking of the submit button in the form, the event is not getting called.
If i use a button in the WD view itself, then the action gets called, but there is no data. In short, the data is NOT getting passed from Interactive form to WD application.
Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Hanoz

Appraisal BSP form not saving in IE

We created an appraisal form that works fine in transaction PHAP_CHANGE_PA.
But when we access the BSP (HAP_DOCUMENT), the form presents a problem with Internet Explorer: it does not save, it only reloads the form with the old information. It happens with IE6 and IE7, but it works properly with Firefox2.
The problem only occurs in production system. The form works fine in DEV and QA. But we created a form directly in PRD that works fine, even though we haven't fixed the layout yet. The problem is that almost 2000 appraisals have already been created in the first form.
Any ideas? Or is there a way to migrate the appraisals that are already done to a new form?
Thanks in advance.
Gustavo.

Hi, we found out that during the form construction, a field of style was left with the following html code, which was closing the form before its end.
</form>
Firefox and IE have different behaviors when this code happens twice and the opening code happens once.
Thanks anyway for the attention.

HCM P&F Forms not saved using the right fonts in PDF.

We are using HCM P&F to handle electronic forms and everything works fine but at the end of the process, when it is completed and the form is stored at a static PDF into DPF (Digital Personnel File), the original fonts are not used. Instead, Helvetica and MyriadPro are used.
Any idea why?

The 'value' of your dropdown field is still B when you make the call to the backend. You need to reset the dropdown before going to the backend. You can do this by clearing the rawvalue of the field (dropdown.rawValue = '') and setting the selected index of the dropdown to '-1'.

PDF Interactive Forms Not Saving Data in Preview

Interactive PDF forms opened in Preview doesn't seem to save data you fill in when you save the document. Acrobat seems to save and retain the document without a problem. Anyone know what's going on?

Adobe wants to keep you using only Adobe software so they have designed in incompatibilities with the OS. I don't know of any other PDF tool that can do fill-in forms. If you want to use fill-in forms, you'll have to print it using CUPS-PDF (I haven't tried this with Leopard yet). You could also use Skim to turn any PDF into a fill-in form.

Forms not saving properly

I have a couple of forms I've created for a project. The trouble I am having is that the forms allow the user to SAVE 1 time only. After that, they are forced to SAVE AS regardless of how many changes have been made to the form.
Is this a document setting I have messed up somewhere?

Additional info: It seems to only occur when changes have been made to fields which allow for multiple lines of text to be input.

Selectable map not saved in fillable PDF form file

Hi all, I have a problem with a document (it's a book for children) which has been created using InDesign CS6 on Macintosh. I need to make a fillable form (which is not a problem) and I have applied the "Extended Features for Acrobat Reader". I guess the client uses Acrobat Reader for Windows.
The problem comes when the client asks me to include a map where the pupils can select the countries, and that I have solved using buttons that show/hide these countries. It works fine, but when the client fills the form and saves the document, the map doesn't save the selected fields.
How can I make it work properly? I also tried creating a "SAVE MAP" button, but unfortunately, Acrobat only applies this feature to the current state when I create the document, NOT when the client clicks on this "SAVE MAP" button. Is there another solution, please?
And there's still more... In another page, the pupils must select 5 words, and the problem remains the same... the selected fields are not saved.
I hope I've explained myself correctly, I know it's a bit confusing.
Thanks in advance!!

If you will be adding up the mileage reimbursement amounts you might need to round the result of the calculation to 2 decimal places and that will require a custom JavaScript calculation. Using unrounded values can result with an answer that does not add up to the displayed value.
Using the simplified field notation also requires that field names meet a very specific format. The field names need to start with an alphabetic character and it cannot have any white space character in the name unless some additional coding is done. These restrictions are a result of processing the formula string with JavaScript and how the data string is parsed for processing.

You can save the filled form when you enable the form with Adobe Acrobat.

Not all form's fields not saving

I have created a form from a blank PDF sheet.
I have saved the form and enabled usage rights for Adobe reader.
When I open the form in reader, it indicates I can save the form. If I fill in the form, and save it, it seems to work as intended. When I re-open the file, only 20% of the fields appear. I cannot see the previous data, even if I select the field.
If I save the form in as a text file all of the entered data is saved properly.
Basically the form is not saving ALL of the entered data.
What might be the problem?
Below is a link to the pdf I created:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/49rrmtvl1ltv5lg/License%20Information%20test.pdf

There are unnamed text fields in your table. This is the reason when you re-open the form, no data is remerged back in, because there is no field name to match with. Column cells under the headers,
Power Output:, ERP:, Antenna Height (Meters):, and Emission Designator(s):
all suffer from this problem.
The fix would be to give these table cells names.

Form settings are not saved on one client

Hello,
What are possible reasons that form settings like size and position are not saved.
I have one client with SBO 8.8 PL15 installed. On this client this settings are not saved.
So the user has to resize the forms everytime he opens it.
I tried it myself with his SBO user directly on the server and a terminal-server. No problems there, all settings
are saved even if i switch between the systems.
If i am correct these settings are saved in the UserPrefs field in the OUSR table.
Any ideas?
Thank you for all your help.

Hi,
Have you searched the forum?
You may check this to start:
User Settings lost after session is released
This setting is related to client.
