I cannot save data typed into an Adobe form sent to me..??

I have been sent an Adobe Form that is a Tender Document that I need to complete. When I open the Document is states in the top left-hand corner the following...."Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form.
Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."

What does the creator of the file need to do to make the form fillable? OR is there a program Bob8527 can download to fill in the form and email?
Please advise.
Thanks

Why do some people get "you cannot save data typed into this form" using FormsCentral fillable PDF?

Hello. We're using FormsCentral extensively. We create the fillable PDF and send it to about 80 people. Each of them is adding content and saving and then passing on to another person for further content. Ultimately, all parties are happy with the content and submit. The problem is that some of the people open the PDF and get the message ""you cannot save data typed into this form". What is causing this? Please help as it is causing us many problems.

Thanks for the quick response. We distribute the form to 80 people who fill it out and create 80 versions. They then pass the form to one other person who edits. All 80 forms, once complete, are submitted to FormsCentral.
I think the problem is with Mac users. Is there anything unusual about the Mac with Adobe Reader? If you provide your email address, I can send you one of the filled out forms that is having this issue. It's quite odd in that the fillable fields don't show up until clicked on and the form is not saveable.
Thanks!

You cannot save data typed into this form

Hi,
I created a small interactive form using transaction SFP and I included this form into a WDA application.
The data I am pushing from the system into the form is visualized, but there is also an error message stating:
You cannot save data typed into this form.
Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records.
At first I thought something was wrong with my credentials, but after requesting new credentials this message still appears.
Does anybody know what is causing this message and how I can fix it?
Thanks
Mario

Hi.
1. Are you able to generate an interactive form with the save option through a report program or by WDJ or were you able to view an interactive form by any means with your current credential configuration -> i am asking this coz eventhough you have the right credential, cases can be that it is not properly installed. (check out the standard WDA examples)
2. try using ZCI and xACF layouts. (for ZCI generate the scripts)
3 . Check if the form properties is set to interactive form.
4. Check if you have the generated xml in the interface of your form.
Hope you have checked these already.
Rgds,
Anto.

Pop up message "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form..."

I'm using InDesign CS2 to add some functionality to a pdf. Mostly buttons that I've used to create links to pages inside the document.
When I open the exported pdf I get the unwanted message above, with a little pink icon in upper left hand corner of Acrobat 9.
Any way to get rid of this?
When I save the document with the functionality turned off, it's not there. So obviously there is something amiss when the functionality is added back in. But I really have no idea.

If you're only adding buttons with links, there is no reason to add any of the extra functionality for Reader users.
Just create the links and make sure that you choose to include links when exporting from ID.

Cannot save a completed copy of adobe forms

Hi experts,
i was developing a simple Adobe form with a drop down list. When saving that form on local system ad then opening it , I tried changing the valve in drop down list it gives me a pop-up as
"You cannot save the completed copy of this form on your computer."
is there any setting to be donw to the form.
thanks in advance,

I guess you have already found the problem: you cannot save the file if your reader rights are down == your form has not been generated as interactive and no licence has been attached. Otto

Dynamic pdf up to 200 images, the size of pdf is larger, cannot save data and images to the form

Hi all,
My client would like to dynamic images up to 200 pictures to my forms. It is working fine. However, when I add images up to 35 images. I could not add images to the form any more. Then, I save data on the form. All images and data typed on the form are disappeared. I don't know reason.
If I only add 10 images - I can save data and images on the form. The size of pdf is 15456 kb. I was unable to add more pictures or data on the form.
Maybe there are problem the size of pdf? How much size can an dynamic pdf limited?
Can we save the information and images as much as we want?
I have spent 2 weeks to work and try to figure out this problem. However it is not successful.
Please help,
Cindy

You should ensure, that your users do not import big images.
Therefore you can use a script on the change event of an image field which checks the data size and warns the user if the file is too big.
function formatNumber(number) {
    var num = number + '',
    x = num.split('.'),
    x1 = x[0],
    x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '',
    rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
    while (rgx.test(x1)) {
        x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
    return x1 + x2 + "KB";
var sizeLimit = 200, //allow upto 200KB images
thisSize = Math.round((this.value.oneOfChild.value.length * 3 / 4) / 1024);
if (sizeLimit > 0) {
if (thisSize > sizeLimit) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Note: With " + formatNumber(thisSize) + " the size of the imported image is greater that the recommended maximum of " + formatNumber(sizeLimit) + ".\nLarge images can cause a insufficent performance.\n\nIf possible, use images with the following recommended specs:\nFormat:\t\tPNG or JPG\nColor depth:\t8 Bit (higher is not supported)\nColor space:\tRGB (CMYK is not supported)\nFile Size:\t\t" + formatNumber(sizeLimit), "Recommended image size exceeded", 3, 0);

Saving data typed into a PDF

Hi folks,
There's probably a million questions like this one but I can't concentrate enough right now to try to go through everything.
I made a list in Excel, exported it as a PDF.
Opened in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Went through the Start Form Wizard, all worked nicely, put all my check boxes and fields in where I wanted.
Save it - and then open it in Adobe Reader.
"You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
After some careful googling, I discover to be able to make a form that is savable, I need Adobe LiveCycle. So I scout around on my work computer and discover I do in fact have LiveCyle Designer ES 8.2.
Now what? I do not know what I'm meant to tick in this program to make my PDF savable by other people.
I appreciate your time and patience! Hopefully it's a super easy question and that I feel like an idiot for asking
Kind regards,
--Sasha

Hi Sasha,
Using Acrobat, you can create forms that are called AcroForms. The forms created in LC Designer are called XFA (XML Forms Architecture) and are more data centric. While both will open in Acrobat, they are completely different animals.
The issue with users not being able to save the data with Reader is that the form is not Reader Enabled. You can Reader Enable a form using one of two methods:
Reader Enable the form using Acrobat Professional (V8 or below) or Acrobat Standard (V9 or above). Note there are licensing restrictions.
Reader Enable the form using the full server product Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5. This involves additional licensing fees.
Have a look here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU, at the features that are available depending on whether the user has Acrobat or Reader; if the form is Reader Enabled; and how the form was Reader Enabled.
The issue of Reader Enabling would also apply to AcroForms.
I don't think that you need to dive into LC Designer just yet, as forms created in LC Designer face the same issues about Reader Enabling as forms developed in Acrobat.
If your usage complies with the EULA, then you could Reader Enable your form in Acrobat.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Acrobat 9 pro. Letting people save data typed in Reader

I am evaluated Acrobat 9 pro for purchase. One of the key features I am looking for is create a form and letting people save data typed in in Aobe Reader.
I looked and tried all the different security features and can't seem to be able to do it.

The whole concept of forms with Acrobat is that you have the ability to save, as does anyone else with Acrobat. Those with Reader have the ability to fill out the form, print it, and submit data, but the saving is an additional feature that Adobe charges for. Starting with AA8 (I think that was the first), Adobe started allowing up to 500 copies to be saved with User Rights, an option in Acrobat. However, if you exceed the 500, then the idea is that you need to be paying for that additional feature. I am not arguing for or against this model, but this is the current deal.
With AA9, I think that some of the options might have changes and the license restrictions might be different. The information should be in either the HELP file or the EULA.

Calling and manipulating data on an Interactive Adobe form from ABAP report

Dear All,
Can you please tell me how to call an interactive adobe from from a custom adobe form?
If so how can we pass and receive data between the interactive adobe form and the abap report program?
Thank you.

Prosenjit.

Hi,
It is possible to call an Interactive Adobe form from ABAP report and pass data into the form. If you search the forum, you will get many threads explaining the process. Let me know if you have any specific questions on this.

Error message: You cannot save a completed copy of this form to your computer.

Hello,
I created a PDF form in Acrobat Pro X and i am trying to distribute it by placing it on our shared drive so employees can take it from there and save it to their own computer.
I tested the form with some employees that have Reader. Some can open it, save it, fill it in and submit it and others get this message when opening it:
You cannot save a completed copy of this form to your computer. If you would like a copy for your records please fill it in and print it.
I read some discussions that said to convert it to a binder, that didnt work either. i tried going to the advanced tab and extending the features to reader...nothing works.
Please help.
Thank you!

Thank you for your help George. I placed a ticket with our IT department to have them check the system time on her machine. I'll let you know if it worked.

Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system

Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system.
If anybody has easy way to make those forms...
Please suggest...

Hi Shabeer,
the first thing is that you are running on a very very low RAM.
For ECC 6.0 with dual stack SAP System to run you should have atleast 4 GB of RAM.
For your Dispatcher issue kindly check the status of your Oracle database and the connection from SAP To Database.
You can check the oracle status using brtools utility.

Problems Displaying data from RFC on Adobe Forms

Hi,
I have some Problems with creating an Adobe Form and hope, someone can help me or give me some hinds to some tutorials, which can help me.
I'm developing an webdynpro-application which get data from a R/3 via RFC-Call.
Context-Binding and so on is done and works. I created also an interactive form and can display some datas on it.
Here my questions:
I have an field 'unit' which shoulb be displayed on several positions onto the form. My problem is, i can display it only once. If i copy the field, there is no output in it. What can i do, to solve the problem?
From the RFC i get a table with several rows of data, i want to display on the form.
With drag&drop i can place the fields onto the form but they are displayed only once. I want one line for every row from the table.
What do i have to do? Are there tutorials which show the steps?
When I am not using a form, i can display the data from RFC in a table with no problems (i create a table ui and choose create binding from context menue). Are the nescessary steps for displaying the data on an interactive form the same.
I read something about creating a dynamic form design. Do i have to create it? What are the steps i have to do.
Many questions, but i hope that someone can give me some helpful hints.
Many thanks
Mathias Lange

Hi Mathias,
If I caught you correctly, you want to display data in Adobe forms in form of tabel, right?
So, follow the steps:
1. Insert one sub form on your adobe form.
2. Set its type as "flow content" in object->subform property.
3. Set flow direction as "Table".
4. Insert another subform inside this subform.
5. set its type as "flow content" and flow direction as "Table row".
6. Now, choose binding tab, and there check "repeat subform for each Data item check box" and specify min. count for your rows.
7. Now, insert your column fields inside this sub form once.
8. Format its look and feel as you want.
When you run this application, it will show you multiple data as table on Adobe form.
Regards,
Bhavik

I cannot save data on a pdf on my tablet since most recent update

I use Adobe reader on my Galaxy Note 8 to do audits. I fill in with forms with stylus. Since the update I cannot save any data to forms. The "Save" button, previously in upper right hand corner of screen, is gone. There is only a check mark on the screen. I thought that was to save, but it doesn't work.

"Stylus mode" -- Are you referring to the "Freehand" annotation tool? It is available regardless of whether you use a stylus or not.
In the previous version, the Freehand annotation toolbar looked like this.
The Save button above is used to commit a particular annotation change. Please note that it does not save other changes (e.g. filling out form fields) that have been made to a PDF document.
In the latest version 11.4, it now looks like this.
Once you add a Freehand annotation to a PDF document, you can tap the checkmark icon to commit the change. Do you see the change that you've just made on a page?
Are any changes (not just addition of Freehand annotations) lost once you close the PDF document?
If none of the changes you've made have been saved automatically, it is highly likely that you encountered a known problem in Adobe Reader for Android.
Your PDF document is locally stored on an external SD card (not internal storage).
Your Android OS version is 4.4 (KitKat).
Adobe Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card due to the major Android OS changes to SD card permissions on KitKat. We are still working on fixing the problems. In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files.
Please let us know if you need further assistance. Sorry for the inconvenience.
