How to save a form for Adobe Reader 7

Hello all, I created a form in LiveCycleDesigner ES 8.2 and extended the rights in Acrobat pro and my client says that he tried to insert text and save it and then re-open it and wasn't able to insert text again once it was saved? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you go to http://www.acrobat.com you can set up a free account and upload files. Just remember to publish/share the file and then post the url here:
In the meantime, check the binding for the objects on the form. In LC Designer go to the Object > Bindings tab, you should have normal/name. If they are set to none that may be the problem.

How to create saveable forms for Adobe Reader 6.0 using Acrobat Pro 9?

Hi
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES (Acrobat Pro 9).
I only need to create a simple pdf form where the user enters data and saves the file with the data using Adobe Reader 6.
What are the steps to convert a Reader Extended PDF forms version 1.6 (Reader 7) to version 1.5 (Reader 6)?
Thanks
Bela

Any luck here? I have just a subset of your challenge, i.e., I want to get forms designed in Designer 8.2/Acrobat 9 to work in Reader 7.0.5
Thanks!

How to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0

Can you please tell me how to save filled PDF in adobe reader 9.0 with all the filled details

You cannot buy 8 or 9.
In X (10 - which you can't buy either), you can do File > Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features.
Important notes:
1. KEEP THE ORIGINAL. Once rights are added many kinds of editing are permanently locked out.
2. THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS on the number of people who can save a form. Details in the EULA: check it carefully (or have a lawyer check it).
Also note that Reader XI can save forms with no special preparation.

How to obtain a refund for Adobe Reader? I should have bought Acrobat. Tony

How to obtain a refund for Adobe Reader? I should have bought Acrobat. Tony

For years I could use the free Adobe to create pdfs from my scanner, but
something happened about 4 months ago when I could no longer do that. The
File menu no longer had the sub-menu "create pdfs using scanner". Oh I
could still use my scanner (from the scanner itself) but you are limited to
a page at a time. So if you had a 6 page document you had to send 6
separate pdfs from the scanner to the desktop and when emailing them to
someone you had add 6 separate attachements to the email. Not very
efficient compared to before when all 6 pages could be combined in one pdf.

HOW TO save PDF Forms in Acrobat Reader

Hi,
I have made a timesheet form in Acrobat Professional. The idea with this is to put it on our intranet site and let my collegues register their working hours there (today we have an excel form).
The big advantage in using the PDF Form instead of the excel is the digital signatures function. This makes it possible for signing also when not in house - perfect in every aspect but....
...my collegues would like to save the timesheet before sending it. Printing is of no option since they are out on the road most of the time.
In Adobe Professional this is no problem but in Acrobat Reader you cannot save anything but an empty form. I have searched for security levels in the form but I cannot find anything. Howcome can't you save the document you have made as a copy in Reader? Is there a way of getting around this issue? I cannot put all collegues on the Adobe Professional program, it would be too expensive.
Please help! I hate having to go back to excel because of this malfunction.
Best regards from Sweden
Annika

Sorry, I was wrong, we don't have the professional suite. We purchased the Creative Suite 3 Design standard. However the Adobe Acrobat program itself is version 8 professional.
From what I understand the only way to make the form savable in Adobe reader for my collegues is that I buy also the Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
The price for this extension is 1500 USD.
To try to explain once more what I want to be done...
I am making forms for my collegues, where they can fill in their travelling costs, their working hours etc etc. This they have to do once an month and then send to their boss. BUT my collegues have only Adobe Acrobat reader, and with that program you can only save an empty form, ie the form empties itself when saving. But of course my collegues wants a copy of their working hours, travelling costs saved on their own computer. Prints are not acceptable.
Please help, I can't figure out how to open up the saving rights for my collegues in my adobe professional program...
Sorry for beeing so dumb, but I don't understand...

Issue with being able to fill in data and save pdf forms in adobe reader

Hi All,
This is my first time posting on this forum so not sure what way to go about it so i'll just start by explaining my problem.
I purchased adobe acrobat xi standard to create pdf forms(fillable forms) so that the receipents of these forms can open them in adobe reader, save them on their local drive and fill them in.
However, when I uploaded them online(as they will be downloaded from an internal website) - when the forms are opened in the browser this error appears
Currently when this error appears the client canno fill in their data or save it.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated!
Noel

Thanks for replying pat - that was another question I have. Is there a way I can get a dialog box to pop up when they click on the forms button?
Like the following;
As at the moment, they would have to click the actual "save" icon - and the same error will appear on their local disk?

How to save a Form as a read-only pdf?

I created a form in Acrobat X. I need to be able to send this form to some of our team members so they can fill out and save it as a read only file that can then be sent to customers. How can I do this?

Reader 10/11 has a means to flatten a form as part of the EchoSign e-signing tools. They could fill-in the form and select: Sign > I need to sign > Signed. Proceed to Send > Save a Copy
You'll just need to instruct your team members how to do this. It is more secure (for lack of a better term) since it removes the form fields but leaves their appearances, making it more difficult for someone to change. Most people wouldn't know how to change the values of read-only fields, but it's quite easy for someone who does.
This option won't be available if the document is Reader-enabled, but if your team members are using Reader 11 they will be able to save a form without it being Reader-enabled.

How to check silent switches for adobe reader installation ?

Hi All,
We are working on one project where we have to install adobe remotely and silently on around 5K machines. I am wondering how to check all adobe reader silent installation switches.
Any help would be great
Thanks And Regards

What do you mean by "check" the silent switches? Do you mean you want the documentation for enterprise deployment?
(Worth mentioning just in case: you will need a deployment license from Adobe).

How to save a form for intern use for a client?

Hi,
I can only choose between using the FormCentral, email or a server (of which I can't get access). My client needs the form for ONLY intern use - like a simple PDF-doc that eventually collects their data. I used to make such forms in previous versions …
Anna

I have a very simple form, made fro my own template (Indesign > PDF)
When distributing I have to choose between Adobe Form Central, Email or a specific internal server. I can’t - because my client needs to define it for themselves later. What ca I do? I used to send them a simple form-file.

How can i save a form in adobe reader than only allows you to type info but doesnt allow you to save

I have a file that i need to email to someone, however when i fill in the information at the bottom of the page i have an option to submit via email or print... when i submit via email, it states its being sent but the person on the other end doesnt receive it. what else can i do?

I tried numerous of times to submit it but the person on the other end is not receiving it. I am able to print it though!
I was trying to attach the file to the an email but it doesnt save the info. I have been trying different things and nothing is working. what else can I do?
i have the file and i tried to insert the image for you to see, but it gave me an error " [The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
Yeah, THAT'S a limitation which was set when the original author created and saved the form. You CANNOT undo it with Reader. You may be able to with Acrobat Pro, but if the PDF has DRM you can't touch it.

Is possible to save a form using Acrobat Reader? How to?

Hi all,
I designed a static pdf form using Livecycle. I want to send it to the form recipients, and I need they return me the pdf form filled. I can do this without problems on Adobe Acrobat Pro, but my mates that are using Adobe Reader can't save the filled form. Adobe Reader offers them to save a blank copy of the form or print it filled. But this isn't what I need. I need to have x copies of the form (of the pdf file) filled by my x recipients. Is there any option in Livecycle to allow saving the filled form on Acrobat Reader?
Thanks in advance,
Enrique Llorens
P.D. Apologies for my awful english...

Hi Enrique,
In order for users with Reader to be able to save your form, it has to be 'Reader Enabled' before you send it out.
You have three choices:
Reader enable the form with LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server based component of the enterprise suite. This is intended for processing large volumes of forms/data and is an additional cost per form.
Reader enable the form using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Pro v7 to v8). This has license restrictions to less than 500 users per form.
Instead of users with Reader sending the form back as a PDF. You could set up a 'Submit as XML' button. This does not require the users with Reader to Save the form.
I have a summary of features (functions that are available/restricted) depending on whether the form is enabled and how it was enabled on our blog: http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
When you open the sample at the end of the post, if you hover over the question marks, you will see screenshots of the enabling process.
Hope that helps,
Niall
