How to Save a Fillable Form?

Hi guys,
I've searched and read other posts on this same quesiton, but I've gotten no luck.
I open the form in Acrobat X Pro and save as > reader extended > enable additonal features.
I then open the new enabled copy, fill some fields out, and then save it. When I reopen the document for the first time in acrobat, the data in the fields are saved. However, upon additional closing and reopening, the data is gone.
I can't seem to hold the data there further than 1 reopen.

A script can be used to reset the form when it is opened (or closed), but this might not be sufficient for your purposes. You can also set the file itself as read-only, preventing the user from saving it in the first place.
May I ask what's the point of adding form fields to this file? Is it just so that it could be printed?

How can I save my fillable form so that when I share my form with other people they are able to save the fillable version of the form?

I made a fillable form in Adobe Live Cycle - The problem I'm having is that when I share the form with someone they are unable to save the fillable version of the form once information has been put in - I need them to be able to save the fillable form so that when we need to make changes in the future that we don't need to fill out the entire form again.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
Thank you,
Rumor

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

How to create online fillable form using acobrat 7.0 ?

I want to create an online fillable form but seems like a fill able PDF form is good to enter the information when end user wants to print the document with the filled information. They won't be able to save the filled information unless they have adobe acrobat and every user don't have acrobat. Majority of users will have adobe reader only which does not have the feature of saving the document with the filled information.
How can I receive the information from this fill able PDF form ?
I have seen on many website that, they people can fill out the form online and submit the information.
I know a way too add submit button using acrobat 7 designer but that is very complicated because the user will have to send xml data and i will have to import the xml data into the original pdf form which is very time consuming and not a good idea when i have to deal will 1000 forms every week.
when a personal is filling a fillable form (which i will upload on my website), that pdf form can't be send directly to me with data in it ?
this seems to be very complicated.

For AA7, you can set the file to submit the data, not the entire form. You would have the FDF data file submitted to you. The e-mail feature is not very reliable, but that was not your question. When you receive the FDF file, you may be able to click it and have it open in the form (if you did not move the form and such -- it has some folder information in the FDF). Otherwise, you can open the form and use the form tools to import the data -- forgot where it is in AA7. The end result of the import will be the same display as the submitter had in the form. You can then save the form to a different name. There may be some data handling within Acrobat 7, I don't remember. If not, you might want to get the FDF Toolkit from Adobe and set up some data manipulation with the toolkit to put data in a database or such.

I cannot save a fillable form for future use. It wont open in preview either...what do I need to do?

I am a paid subscriber and have a fillable form that I want to save and pick up later.
Do I have no option?
I tried to even install a pdf driver as a printer and upon print, the fillable form says print not allowed and I have to save...and when I try to save, it says I can only save a blank form!!
What do I need to do here?

Hi mlleslie,
If I understand correctly, you've converted a file and now want to download it and remove it from your Acrobat.com account. Is that correct? What happens when you try to download it from https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you get an error?
Once you've downloaded it, you can delete it from your account by selecting it and clicking the trash can icon.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How to flatten a fillable form on iOS

Ever since the latest iOS update, our fillable reader extended PDF's are not working properly in the Reader App. I created fillable forms and save as a "reader extended" file. When we open the file on the Reader App, we can fill in the form and sign, but when we go to email the form it attaches the blank form to an email. It does not offer the "Share Original" or "Flatten copy" option before going into the email. We use this feature for mobile devices to sign contracts on site vs. going on a laptop. If I open a normal PDF file, a non fillable form, I can email the original or flattended copy from the reader app but this is not needed on a normal PDF. How can I share the flattened copy of a fillable form from the reader app on the iPhone/iPAD? Is this issue going to be resolved or are there settings I need to change in the PDF file before saving it for reader extended?

This is a duplicate post by the same user.

How to create a fillable form that can be saved in Acrobat Reader

I'm new with fillable forms. I looked at it several months ago and I was sure I saw something about making the filled forms saveable in Reader but now I can't seem to find it. Anybody know?

Thanks! Not sure exactly how to extend reader rights, but I imagine I'll figure it out.

Error when trying to save a fillable form?

Hi,
My staff is getting an error when trying to save information that was typed in a fillable form. They are able to print but cannot save. The error message they are getting is: "Cannot Save Form Information Please note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in and print it." They have also gotten the message: "Save a Blank Copy of this Form Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
This form was created in LiveCycle ES4. I have Adobe XI on my computer and I am able to save the form fine. My staff has Adobe 9 on their computer. Is there anything I can do so that they will be able to save the form on their computer once they have finished filling it out?

Mac users can fill in LCD forms just fine, they just can't create them.
And you can fill in and save an LCD form in Reader, if it has the appropriate rights applied to it in Acrobat before-hand.
I thought The latest Reader XI (regardless of Platform) had the ability Print and save with or, without reader rights. That what I've been reading on this forum ever since reader XI came out.

How to Save Completed PDF Form (Embedded in HTML)

We have a PDF Form which is displayed embedded in our HTML page (via a browser plugin).
The user can submit the Form from within the HTML page (the embedded frame with the PDF contains the whole form and the Submit button).
The toolbar on the Reader plugin shows the Save button, but when we click it, we get an error saying the document cannot be saved, only printed. Here is our issue:
1) We need to allow the user to save the form locally,
2) including their *completed data*
Is there any way to do this from within the plugin? Thanks

Only specially enabled forms can be saved with data in Reader. If you have Acrobat Standard or Pro you can save data in forms. Forms can only be enabled for saving with Reader using Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

How to save to PDF form View Responses tab without including blank fields?

Is there a way to save in PDF form from View Responses withouth including blank fields? More specifically, my form has several fields that have action (Show/hide) depending on the values. Once form is submitted and I am reviewing it from View Response tab, I use "save as PDF" button to save/download my completed form, however when I open it, it shows blank fields as well. Is there a way to somehow specify not to include blanks. If there is no way it would be a nice feature to have. Please let me know.

No, the PDF is always going to show all fields, the "Show/Hide" does not affect the PDF we generate.
I will soon post a Form for users to submit feature requests, keep your eyes out for an announcement in the forums for it and you can submit this request.
Thanks,
Josh

How to save a completed form that was created as a dynamic form, with expandable files?

I have created a dynamic PDF form with expandable fields etc. As this is to be accessible for customers to completed, how can they save a completed copy on their own PC?
I tried it myself and I receive an error msg stating that I can only save a Blank Copy of this Form: Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.
How can I create a dynamic form (with expandable fields/flowable layout etc) that allows the applicant to not only complete the form but also, to save a completed copy?

Thanks! That worked , however I now have an additional issue.
While the form works in Internet Explorer (I'm using IE11), in that it's viewable, it opens and allows me to save etc) it doesn't work in Google Chrome and I'm getting the below error message:
Any ideas on why it doesn't display in Chrome and does in IE (I'm using the same PC and I'm using Adobe Reader XI)!
there are other PDF forms on site that are not dynamic but are fillable, and these are opening!
Thanks
