Hide Adobe save button

Hi,
Does anyone know how to hide the save button on an Adobe form?
The reason that I am asking is that we have a save button on a Web Dynpro that saves the document to a content server, we want to disable the save button in Adobe to stop users from saving to the local machine.
I have looked at the javascript hideToolbarButton command but it seems that this needs to go into the config.js file. This is not a solution as the save button is then not available to pdf documents opened outside of SAP.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Chintan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have read through the link but unfortunately it talks about hiding the toolbar, unfortunately this would not be a solution as we require the print option.
The link also suggests using the app.hideToolBarButton but this is not possible as this setting is stored on an ini file on the users PC and would disable the Save button for all PDF documents (i.e. when the users opens a PDF form outside of SAP the save button will not be available).
I am not sure if it is possible but I would like to just hide/disable the Save button?
Many thanks for your help.
Ian

Adobe Designer 7.1 uses XFA 2.4
If you can upgrade to Adobe desinger 8.2 to be abel to use XFA 2.8 you can code in the following way:
Write the following code in the preSave method
if (do_not_save_condition == 1) then
xfa.event.cancelAction = 1
endif
Adobe Quote
cancelAction specifies whether to cancel a forthcoming action.
This property applies only to the following scripting events: prePrint, preSubmit, preExecute, preOpen, and preSign.
The user experience is determined by the scripting event that contains the cancelAction reference:
u2022 preOpen - The drop-down list does not expand to display the list of values.
u2022 preSubmit - Form submission does not occur.
u2022 preSign - The form is not digitally signed.
u2022 prePrint - No print dialog boxappears, and the form is not printed.
u2022 preSave The form is not saved. The user experience is that no action occurred.

Using this, the save button will still be visible but, you can prevent the form from being saved.

Hide/Disable Save Button in VF04

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to hide or disable the save button in the transaction VF04?
I just talk to the ABAP team and they say that it is possible by changing the standard program. This is something we would like to avoid and I wonder if there is any other way to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Erick Acosta

Hi Murali,
Actually I did something very similar to your proposed solution. Using tx SHD0 It's very easy to create transaction variants, there you can customize the standar menu or buttons and then activate it.
I did so in our DEV system, I created a transport request for the transaction variant and then imported to QAS and PRD systems.
I really appreciate your help.
Best regards,

Now that I've updated Firefox, when I open a pdf webpage, there's no toolbar with the Adobe save button, print button, etc. It's gone.

Firefox no longer displays the buttons for Adobe functions when I open a webpage with an pdf on it (e.g. a URL that ends in pdf)/ There's no way for me to download them to my laptop. The old version of Firefox automatically showed those buttons. I can't see a toolbar that relates to this. Can you tell me how to get those functions back? Thanks,
Laura

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

How do I create a save button to hide a dropdown and pass on the dropdown data to a label?

Hi InDesign Scripting Experts!
I'm desparetly looking for some help to get this issue resolved.
Essentially I've a lot of PDF forms that've been designed by using InDesign CS4 and then converted to an interactive PDF via Adobe Lifecycle. The final 2 page PDF form has multiple textfields, a drop down and a save button. The users partially fill-in the form, select their name from the dropdown and then hit the save button prior to sending the PDF form to the client.
The Save button does the following:
- Passes on the data from the drop down to a label
- Hides the drop down and
- finally, hides itself ('Save' button)
I understand InDesign CC has a lot of the Livecycle capability built-it. Hence I'm trying to design the inteactive PDF within InDesign CC. The textfields, dropdown etc. are easily done. The part that I'm stuck on is to get the 'Save' button to perform the above listed tasks.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Elizabeth,
Presuming that editing the exisiting BOSTON is not an option, you may:
1) Create a nostroke/nofill rectangle that covers all all word, then give it a white fill;
2) In the Transparency palette flyout tick Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked.
That should remove the BOSTON from sight so you can retype it.
You could use a black fill and leave Invert Mask unticked (if the black is black enough).

How to hide either the File menu or the Save button.

Hello. Recently we upgraded Adobe Reader from 8.0 to 9.0 on our kiosks and we are having a problem. We used to be able to hide the save button when viewing a PDF file on a web page through a javascript inside the javascripts folder. However, while most other buttons seem to be hidden, the 'Save' button next to the Print button on the tool bar is not responding to our script. I think I should mention that you can not right click or press CTRL on our kiosks.
Here's what we have tried:
app.hideToolbarButton("Download");
app.hideToolbar("FileToolbar");
app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
app.hideToolbarButton("SaveTo")
app.hideToolbarButton("File")
app.hideMenuItem("SaveTo")
app.hideMenuItem("FileToolbar")
app.hideMenuItem("Toolbars");
app.hideMenuItem("File");
app.hideMenuItem("Print");
app.hideMenuItem("Save");
If possible, we would like to just disabled the 'File' section that can be dragged around altogether, however since this save button is the only remaining button on that section just the code to disable it will work too.
Also, I'm not asking to disable it, just simply hide it as if you were to right click on it, go into show/hide toolbars, and click 'File'. We have many kiosks and doing this manually would be... Well I got a life to live.
Thank you!

P.S: I forgot to mention. If I open Adobe Reader standalone, the button is gone. If I open it through IE the button is present. It might be because the file is already on the computer but.. I don't know. Thank you!

How to hide the standard save button

Hi gurus,
I am using the javascript below in my BPS Web Ap to perform a check function on save. The Javascript runs the check function and then simulates the pressing of the standard save button. It works fine.
My problem is that I now need to hide the standard Save button as I don't want users to press it, just my code. But there is no option in the application builder to hide those standard buttons.
Is there some other way I can hide it? Or is there some way I can perform the save from JavaScript without having to have a Save button?
Cheers,
Tristan
<script type="text/javascript">
    function CheckAndSave()
            if (bspSubmit('FunctionButtonPerformCheck'))
                    bspSubmit('SaveButton1')
</script>
<span>
    <a href="#1" class=urBtnStd onClick="javascript:CheckAndSave();"
        <nobr>
            New Save
        </nobr>
    </a>
</span>

Hi Kuldip,
if you're trying to hide the Save Button in the Adobe toolbar, then you can place the following code in the wdDoModifyView method to hide the whole toolbar.
// Get interactibe form handler.
        IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormHandler iFormHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler(wdThis.wdGetAPI(), "<name of your form>");
//     Get appearance setter.
      IWDPDFDocumentAppearance appearance = iFormHandler.getDocumentContext().getAppearance();
     // Hide menu bar.
     appearance.hideMenuBar(true);
     // Hide tool bars.
     appearance.hideToolBars(true);

Hiding Save Button Programmatically

Is there a way within the Adobe PDF Reader OCX control to hide the Save button and
prevent the user from bringing it up? We want to lock down the way files are saved (we'll be adding our own save button).

I don't have an answer ready for you, you but may get more information in IE8 if you use the Developer Tools (F12). When running the Developer Tools you can switch the document mode. E.g. if your run in Quirks Mode, you can get unexpected results. Switch to another mode and see what happens. This helped me a lot to see the differences between rendering in IE and FF.
The mode is controlled by the Doctype defined in the page template.

Is it possible to hide the save function and only use the save as function in teststand

Hi,
When i'm done building a sequence i want to prevent other engineers to save the sequence with the same filename (or version number).
Is it somehow possible to "hide" the save button and only use the save as function?
Or is there another possiblity to solve my problem.
The idea is to have a sequence called Sequence_V1.0.seq which i have build. When installing this in a factory enviroment I would like whenever there is a change needed in the sequence that the version number increases (manual action) (becomes Sequence_V1.1.seq). So from the moment you want to save i would like to only have the function save as. In this way you are obligated to fill in a new sequence name (original sequence will be read-only)
What would even be great if there could be a log of what the changes were
Thx!!!

1) You could mark the file as read-only, by default you would then not be able to save over it. The user could make it not read-only though if they know what they are doing.
2) Another possibility is to lock the sequence file for editing (this is a teststand feature). Go to the Sequence File Property dialog, on the advanced tab, where it says Password Protection, set it to Not Editable and give it a good password. This doesn't however keep someone from saving another file to the same name as the locked one, but they at least won't be able to saved the locked file again without your password, nor will they be able to edit it.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

Adobe reader opens "save as" box when clicking on save button rather than saving in the same file

Hi everybody,
I have a fillable PDF form designed in Livecycle designer and it is reader extended. When I fill that form on MAC it let me fill and save the form as many times as I like. Everytime I make any change I just click the save button it saves changes in the same form. BUT is is behaving differently on Windows. After filling the form out when I click on save button it opens up "Save as " dialogue box to save a new copy with those changes. I have Adobe reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI installed on windows. I know I can do that with Acrobat but I want that in reader for users who dont have acrobat.
Please help me.....
Thanks

What are you filling out the form with on the MAC?
