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,

  • How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

    Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
    I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
    I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
    How do I do this.
    Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
    Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Amy

    I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
    Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
    Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
    or
    File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
    Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
    When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

  • How to make a pdf (form) accessible for reader in Adobe Acrobat x pro?

    Hi guys, i have bit of a problem here as i am new to the Acrobat pro X 
    Using Acrobat pro 9 i always could save a LiveCycle pdf form with permission to fill and save as a reader user. now i have upgraded to cs6 and i have no clue how to do that anymore. The half of the options are gone and i can't access the older Acrobat pro anymore. 
    Does anyone know how to save a pdf form using Acrobat X for adobe reader users giving permission to read and save my pdf files?

    For Acrobat X go to File-> Save as->Reader Extended PDF
    This will embed the reader extended rights in PDF.

  • How to receive fillable PDF forms from clients & be able to save them?

    Hi everyone,
    So I have been having trouble with this for a while now.
    Basically for work, my assignment was to create a PDF that could have fillable forms and a button at the bottom of the page sending to my coworkers' emails.
    How it would work:  Once a person fills out the form and presses the send button at the bottom of the PDF, it would send to my coworkers' emails and they could save the documents with the fillable data.
    Everything works except for the saving process.  Once my coworkers receive the email, they get different error messages that look like the following (and they CANNOT SAVE the PDFs... so it makes the whole idea worthless):
    Here is how the messages read:
    1) First image on the left: the box reads "Save a Blank Copy of this Form"
                                         underneath it it says "Data typed into this form will not be saved.  Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.
    2) 2nd image:  the box reads "Sending Data Files by Email"
                         underneath it says "Please note: This form contains an email submit button.  Clicking this button will email a data file containing data you type into this form.  However, the form itself will not be sent.  Remember you cannot save a completed copy of this form with Adobe Reader 9 or later.
    3)  3rd image:  reads "the file you are attempting to open contains comments or form data that are supposed to be placed on.  This document cannot be found.  It may have been moved, or deleted.  Would you like to browse to attempt to locate this document?
    So, I was wondering if there is any way around this.  Is there away to have the PDF sent back to my coworkers so they can then save the FILLABLE PDF and organize it in a folder. 
    If there isn't... then is there a way to have it send back to my coworkers and have them print out the fillable PDF and organize the PDFS coming in that way?

    Yes, you just need to Reader-enable the document, which will allow Reader to save the complete PDF form. When you set up the Submit button, choose the option that sends the complete PDF, as opposed ot just the form data (FDF, XFDF).
    To Reader-enable a document in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Do this as the final step when preparing the document to be sent out.

    Hi I have trouble returning a completed PDF form to sender - it looses my filled in info - how do I solve this?

    Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
    I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason.  I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
    It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

  • How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

    I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible.  I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
    I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
    Thanks,
    Chani

    Thanks everyone for responding.  I should have supplied more information.
    I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
    I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro.  These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
    I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data.  However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered.  Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
    So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact.  Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions.  However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
    Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
    If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly?  How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing?  I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
    If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
    Thanks for all of your responses!

  • How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

    How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
    Here is what I have done:
    As taken from another post:
    Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
    In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
    In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
    Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
    Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
    In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
         The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
    Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
    Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
    where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
    Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
    Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
    Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
    Thanks

    I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.

  • 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.

  • Save & Send PDF Form

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to program a function in my PDF form that will automaticly save the PDF form in a folder and then sends the (just saved) PDF form attached in an e-mail.
    I've got the mail function working with my submit button. The only question is how can i get my PDF form to first save and then send the form?
    I've treid several saving scripts but couldn't get it working.
    Could you guys help me out?
    Kind Regards,
    Vincent
    Below my code:
    // Set up the recipients,subject, body, etc.
    var sTo = this.getField("Unit").value;
    var sBCC = "[email protected]";
    var sSubject = "Nice subject";
    var sBody = "Bla bla bla";
    // Set the error messge to display if it doesn't work, \r = carriage return
    var sErrorMsg = "Could not send email. Please make sure your email client is set up correctly.\r\r";
    sErrorMsg += "Otherwise, save this file and manually attach it to an email to: " + sTo +" [email protected]";
    // Email the entire document
    try {
        mailDoc({
        bUI: true,
        cTo: sTo,
        cBcc: sBCC,
        cSubject: sSubject,
        cMsg: sBody
    } catch(e) {
        app.alert(sErrorMsg, 1);

    To save with a script, you'll have to use the doc.saveAs method. There are a number of security related issues you'll have to deal with, as discussed here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
